I believe that I have made some mistakes. And I've said some things that are offensive. I believe that I have been judgmental. I believe that I have made assumptions. I also believe that I don't have to appease anyone I don't believe that I have to validate myself. I don't think I have to...

Yes

Your right im a terrible judgmental hypocrite and no one should listen to me.

Thats one way to do it. Sounds like a good group your with. That's actually something that I said way back in this post is that you should look for parish's that are not tied to an institution for sponsorship.They rely solely on the congregation and bringing in money, having rich congregation...

So, you can employ the reputations of the rich against the sponsors and be enriched by their donations, or you can minister to others and allow sponsors to arise organically, being selective about whose sponsorship you would even accept, but you cant do both. This is how a pastor can transition...

² This is the requirements for a church to be sponsored you can look up ministry sponsorship. Before ANY possible sponsor helped you, they would need to have proof that You were indeed called by the Holy Spirit to ministry That call was discerned as genuine by those who have a proven history...

Ok im sorry. Usually pastors are hired by school institutions to grow their faith and beliefs or its ran by a group of elders which is usally non denominational. Its rare to find somone who has a church congregation and platform where he is truly free to teach and share as he is lead. If thats...

Im still new and need guidance. This is the roman catholic in me. Thanks for the encouragement and insight. Your right im at peace. I shouldn't be trying to convince others.

Lol. There's a belief that we have in orthodoxy that we should never get comfortable and we should always be struggling to obtain the prize.

This is true.I can't deny it. I obviously have made a lot of progress since then.

OK, no worries. I wasn't intentionally trying to misspell. I was at work and yes stupid auto correct, I'm not the greatest speller anyways, but the reason why I keep harping on it is because that institution has taught hired your pastor and given him a platform to teach at your church...

I apologize thats not my intention. Eaven still for it to be a church it can't just say bible. It needs a confession of faith or creed. If its non denominational then take a look at your pastors school. It would seem to be more presbyterian or baptist from what your telling me. If its southern...

Do you really think it's offensive for me to encourage people to look into the foundation of their faith?It's origin and what they believe.Can you explain to me why that's offensive to you. Can you please pinpoint where I have been offensive so I can correct that problem.I'm hoping that you're...

So if your following John Wesley then which version are you following the Holiness Pentecostals who affirm three definite works of grace, or Finished Work Pentecostals who are partitioned into trinitarian and non-trinitarian branches, the latter giving rise to Oneness Pentecostalism.

I apologize. I'm not trying to be an offense, but I really don't have to go to a church to know what they're about. What I have to do is take a look at the confession of faith. And what's the core belief system? So if your penicastal then this really isn't a pick your own adventure. I mean...

Is there a strong focus on fasting? Is there a strong focus on being unified as a body? Is there a strong focus on subduing your passions? It is there a strong focus on suffering and struggling with Christ? Do you practice asceticism? Is their submission to authority? Is there a focus on...

Yes, I know.You're very me focused.Unfortunately, it turns out that protestantism is very me focused.It's designed that way.Unfortunately, this is not biblical teaching. I don't find any humility in protestantism. A lot of pride and arrogance and the fruit of that is that protestantism is...

All 4 original churches that were established going all the way back to the apostles are in agreement with protestants.That Roman Catholicism has deviated from the path.I would strongly recommend that you have a better understanding of eastern orthodoxy.

I suppose, I should have also included that everyone who agrees with you is not an error. I understand that you need prayer. I will pray. Just so you know, I am not relying on what I believe or what I think when it comes to developing my faith and walk with Christ. I leave this up to the Eastern...

I believe I understand that everyone but you is false. I will pray for you brother.
