    The GIFT of Languages

    I'll bite the bullet on this one! I confess to being a Cessationist, that is, I believe the sign and revelational gifts ceased with the death of the Apostles. I have not always held this view. I spent 20 years in the Pentecostal Movement, 7 of those years as a pastor. I have seen and...

    Justified/Saved by Faith & Faith Alone

    Christ does not 'believe' for us. Believing is something we do in response to the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Faith is not the righteousness of God. It is the means of receiving it. Faith neither produces or provides the righteousness of God.

    Justified/Saved by Faith & Faith Alone

    Paul speaks of righteousness as imputed/credited BUT not faith. Faith is a human response to the overture of the Holy Spirit as the Gospel is presented. As I wrote previously, it is the outstretched hand receiving from God.

    Justified/Saved by Faith & Faith Alone

    Sorry my friend, I have to disagree. It is " I live by faith IN the Son of God" NAB. Faith is not imputed. It is the hand stretched out to receive.

    You cannot backload grace with works to be saved. We are kept by the power of God. We are not saved by enduring, but by grace through faith.

    Believer or Disciple? What's the Difference?

    To become a believer, one accepts the free offer of the Gospel. To become a disciple , costs one everything. So, every disciple is a believer but not all believers are disciples.

    Is the “day of Christ” the day of the Rapture?

    I am reminded of the saying, "Don't confuse me with the facts, I've made up my mind!" The evidence for a pre -trib rapture and 7 year tribulation are there in Scripture. Hey, if you choose not to believe it, that's your choice.

    The Authenticity of 1 John 5:7.

    "For there are three that bear witness in Heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one." 1 Jn 5:7 NKJV. This verse that speaks of the Trinity is omitted in the Critical Text ( and hence, most modern translations), when there is ample evidence to its antiquity. It...

    Conclusion From Beware the Pseudo-Rapture Doctrine 4

    It always amazes me that there is so much hatred towards the Pre-Trib view of the Rapture. You don't see the same hatred towards Amillennialism or Postmillennialism. Why is this?
