    Essential Christian confessions. "The Augsburg Confessions".

    I know it doesn't compute. But it dont have to. And Israel failed in thier choosing continually. It didnt work out for them very well at all. It was only a hand full that God had chosen that did any good.

    Why do only the poor have the gospel preached to them?

    Because the poor are usually neglected by the religious elites. So the fact that Jesus proclaimed the good news to the poor speaks of purity. That's my opinion.

    The only thing on that list that doesnt really happen in my church is the dancing, and shouting, that depends on what ya call shouting. But our church is orderly and not what might be called chaotic.

    Is Calvinism the truth?

    I think there is danger in trying to figure out the things that are for God alone. There is a verse that says something to the effect of, dont say who will ascend into heaven or who will descend into hell. This is the domain of God alone. I think its easy to fall into the error of so many...

    After about 3 or 4 group dates its time for one on one. Participating in each others pastimes and hobbies is essential. Spending quality time with them one on one is essential and that can be done with out sinning.

    That is what our so called free will is good for, to reject God, nothing more. We can not by our will, free or other wise save ourselves. Salvation is purely the work of God alone.

    Very good interview...your thoughts?

    He just said preaching the gospel is not enough. Preaching the Gospel is the single thing we were directed to do. To preach, to make disciples, to baptize. This is what Jesus said do. This guy is false.

    So worship in spirit and truth means dancing? Because David danced. Not that I'm against dancing. But I thought the meat was the Holy Spirit enacting his word in your heart and soul.

    I got married on a JP carport for about the same price, and we are still to this day married. We were young and didnt have much money. If ya have a good church family they will help ya have an actual wedding in the church for little to nothing.

    Essential Christian confessions. "The Augsburg Confessions".

    Not sure what you're trying to get to here, but my statement about the suit is simply to say that what ever someone wears it can be criticized. As far as to why I like the vestments; there are a few reasons. I like the ceremonial atmosphere, I like the artistry, I like that pastors and elders...
