    Genesis 1:1&2

    Yes it is usually emphasizing the day of Judgment when God brings everyone to an accounting. This climaxes in the turning this present world back into the state of without form and void as Jeremiah foresaw and Peter describes. There are many prophesies that mention other details and I think it...

    Genesis 1:1&2

    That doesn't make sense. He created it and started it in that state. Then he formed it as described. To say that he did not create it such that it started as without form and void is to call him a liar. To question his morality in doing so is to accuse God of wrong doing. Isaiah 45 18...

    Genesis 1:1&2

    Peter was quoting a Psalm 90:4 which says... A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. And means that a thousand years is a short time from the perspective of an eternal God, and was not intended to use as some kind of bible code...

    Genesis 1:1&2

    Jeremiah 4 just means that there is a judgment coming that will destroy the earth to be without form and void. (Hebrew, Tohu wa-bohu ) which means what the english translation says but in a more poetic rhyming phrase, like "want and waste" or something like. Jeremiah was fully aware of making...

    Bible Study Isaiah 52

    To fully understand it you must consider the initial application. They were being called out of Babylon to restore Jerusalem. Many were complacent in Babylon after 70 years of captivity they had lived through extreme oppressions through changes of leadership and acceptance until they had all...

    Which Bylaws? They were written before he was born. You can Google "By Laws of the Assemblies of God" to find a pdf book on them and read them. As to their beliefs and statement of faith (something different than their by laws) you can find them here...

    Are we in the end times ?

    The AOG teaches the imminent return of Christ in the rapture can happen at any moment. However, the 2nd Coming when Jesus steps upon Mt Olivet does not happen until after the prophesies of THAT WICKED is revealed (which is a judgment on the world) and also the other judgments of Revelation are...

    Do we stress baptism enough?

    Yes, I have observed that error of emphasizing word formulas. I agree that baptizing in the Name of Jesus was not emphasizing a phrase or magic words either way. Whether they said in the name of the Father, son and Holy Spirit or the name of Jesus if they were doing it in the name of Jesus...

    Are we in the end times ?

    Mat_24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Since it is a tribulation that will be worse than anything before or will be again, this makes it unique. Therefore calling it THE great tribulation communicates...

    Are we in the end times ?

    Simple logic reminds us that 6 million Jews died in the holocaust and not as many died in 70AD therefore it is impossible that 70AD was their worse tribulation. And so we conclude that there is another future fulfilment and it really will be a terrible time on the face of the earth that will...

    1 cor 15 51Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For the perishable must clothe itself with the...

    Are we in the end times ?

    It's just the sin of striving. Paul told Timothy that the servant of the Lord must not strive. Deacons and Elders should not be brawlers, debaters or strivers. Falling into an attitude of striving about an interpretation can disqualify a minister. Maybe not in the eyes of the unspiritual but...

    Are we in the end times ?

    Your interpretations speak for themselves. They are easy to dismiss by those you call "futurist" not because they were tainted by "futurists" books but because the plain reading of the scripture is enough to give us faith that Jesus is coming the power and Glory of the Father and in that day we...

    Are we in the end times ?

    I am curious. What church teaches this? Is this what they call amillennial view? What group teaches these views? It sounds like some kind of christians sub culture cult. Is this just your own interpretation or do you belong to a denomination or church that teaches this?

    Are we in the end times ?

    2 Thess 1 is talking about the judgment that will come when Jesus comes again. Interpretations that try to say that he came again when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem are not even worth arguing about. 38Look, your house is left to you desolate. 39For I tell you, you will not see me again...

    Are we in the end times ?

    The persecution will continue until the end. The reason many so called christians don't suffer persecution is because they don't come out of the world. Those that stop participating in the ungodly activities around them will experience persecution because the Holy Spirit in their holy lives...

    Do we stress baptism enough?

    I understand. I think they lump Salvation Army in the same group as United Way. I just did a little Google search and what I said about "falling off the wagon" is supposed to have originated from a different source than the Salvation Army wagon picking up drunks. So I am probably guilty of...

    The Thrift stores are just where they sell the donated goods. Their ministry happens at the adult rehab centers. The volunteers that work at the thrift stores are usually people on probation doing community service for minor crimes. \ Salvation Army Thrift Stores is one of the community...

    So you think this happened at 70AD? 2 thess 1 5All this is evidence that God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. 6God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you 7and give relief to you who are...

    Dear friend. They are very much still a faith based organization. On their website about what they believe they state: Repentance toward God, faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit are necessary to salvation https://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/what-we-believe/...
