There are revelations in the bible that will be revealed if you do what the Lord has told you. If we don't do the last thing that the Lord has told us we will expereince "dry spells" in our illumination and understanding. A stunted growth will occur. We can also have darkness instead of light...

There are many references in the NT to calling local churches, "churches" The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house. ... For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God's...

Paul's method of evangelism. He would go to a large community preach, get converts, teach them to meet weekly or even daily and they became the church in that location. They then could continue to reach out to the people around them. Paul would go to another community and do it again. He...

Everything that we need to know to stay busy preaching the Gospel and planting churches is contained in the scriptures that were given to us. We don't need to be focused on any new mission. Maybe that is why. He wants us to focus on obeying what He has already told us to do before we will get...

I don't know what you are talking about. The local fellowships of the first 400 years were not ruled by the RCC system that took over and corrupted everything. If you are wanting to promote RCC dogma about Peter being the first pope and all that nonsense I am not interested in that discussion.

As to Abrahams Bosom, I believe it was what they referred to when someone sits at the seat next to the host at a banquet. Being in Abrahams bosom meant that Lazarus was being treated as the guest of honor at a feast in paradise.

He had the means to help the beggar at his gate and did nothing. Then he had to answer for it. He wanted to warn his brothers not to come to this place of torment by sending the beggar back from the dead to shock them into listening. The main message was that the scriptures tell them that...

Read the book by F.F. Bruce "Canon of Scripture" for all the details. Athanasius is someone who documented something early of which whose writings survived. His was not the first list but his matched the same 27 NT books we consider canon today. And his statements that the churches had...

Get a copy of "The Canon of Scripture" by F.F. Bruce. I have it in my library and it should be a requirement for every 1st year Bible College student...

16If anyone sees a fellow believer committing a sin that doesn’t lead to death, he should ask, and God will give life to him — to those who commit sin that doesn’t lead to death. There is sin that leads to death. I am not saying he should pray about that. 17All unrighteousness is sin, and there...

I have nothing left to say about it that I haven't already said. Peter was moved by fear of the circumcision group and separated from the Gentiles because of hypocrisy. Barnabas went along with it and followed Peter. Paul corrected them and told them why it was perverting the truth of the...

Luke 9: 49“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.” 50“Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.” They said that this guy was not one of the apostles, and John thought that was a...

:rolleyes: I've got nothing.

No. I understand that there was quite a few things said about America in general and then also about evangelicals. I know something about Pentecostals from 40 years of involvement in the Pentecostal Charismatic movement and I know that 60% would not say that they believe that they can earn...

If a person marked themselves as a Pentecostal on a survey and then they marked "yes" to a question do they believe that a person can gain eternal salvation by “being or doing good.” That is not enough to judge them of believing that one is saved by good works. If the survey had an answer "do...

My point is that answering surveys does not reflect what people believe. How they live does. I think that by observing how most people live in America one could conclude that; Most people think that all the good people (which is everyone who is not hurting other people) are going to some...

I am sure the survey has value. I would have to read the questions that were asked to appreciate what the results of the survey revealed. I doubt that the question was "Do you believe that one must observe the Law of Moses to be saved?" My guess is that would trigger a "No" answer from the...

If most people think we are saved by good works, then why aren't they doing them? :unsure: My guess is that most Church folks think they are saved without good works or without needing to give up all vices of the flesh either. That is more like how most church folks live. How we live...
