They are engaging in typical and intentional misdirection to protect Bully DCON because he could NOT give an answer......
You are not boasting in himself and neither was I, someone asked what we did for the Lord and we told the group and now it gets intentionally spiritual, and silly because not one of them can answer any truth beyond...sinner saved by grace..

This isn't what I've read. They had conflicts, but their relationship was restored and John Wesley even presided over Whitefield's funeral. I think we all need to be careful when repeating comments like this.
Because you believe in Calvinism, maybe you should follow Whitefield's example by loving those who love the Lord no matter what their doctrinal beliefs are. I'm not a Calvinist, but I love the Lord with all my heart. Maybe you consider me not saved, but because you believe it doesn't make it so.
The Wesley's and Whitefield came to an agreement. Whitefield was more like the evangelist and the Wesley's were the ones that discipled those who responded and were born of the Spirit.
In case you're interested in reading what really happened.

Hi Meggido...I have re-read and i think i am seeing that because we have the Spirit of God, then it is God who reveals His mysteries to us...There are many who are out there speaking from their own wisdom which is foolishness, but when i do listen to people who say they are preaching Gods word, then because i have the Holy Spirit in me, God will reveal His truth to me from what i am reading...I won`t be judged by God for judging others if i see something wrong, for it will be the Holy Spirit who is showing me these things...Do i need to re-read, have i seen what you want to want me see, if not i will go back again...xox...
, if not i will go back again...xox...
Hi Bill and EG,
Actually you just needed to go a few verses earlier.
“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” John 22:31-32
Jesus prayed for Peter before it all happened. Jesus said that Peter would turn again.......meaning repentance - and the Lord forgives repentance. So we see it all happening before the incident even took place. And Jesus encourages him that he still has his gifting of apostleship that he was called to and that he indeed would strengthen his brothers once he repented.

What a precious lady, willing to stand up and preach to 186 women.
Amazing to see a harvest.
Amazing to see people touched and encouraged.
When the Gospel of Jesus is preached people will respond.
We all want to walk with Jesus and be like him.
God deals with us as individuals. He knows what's best for us.
It is he that conforms us to the image of Jesus, it is he that refines us through his purifying fire.
Yes we all have dross in our lives that needs dealing with, stuff that hinders our relationship.
But if we earnestly seek relationship his love, passion, compassion, correction will win the day.

Brother. Since you hold yourself out as a Pastor or such, and since you have numerous times disregarded loving correction in applying 1 Corinthians 13, I sadly felt the need to report several of your ugly posts.
I know others may have said ugly things to you, but by presenting yourself as a minister, you should be held to greater responsibility.
Please don't react in anger and vengeance, but prayerfully consider if what I say is true.

If you wish to be perfected in Christ, you need to understand what it means first. I have posted this many times, as well as having spoken extensively on how it is Christ's righteousness which we put on. For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. We are set apart unto good works which He prepared for us before we were even born.
