I have to give you a star for recognising the theology I am supporting is Wesleyian, namely Nazarene church.
But slowly progress is being made, and some at least, understand this is more than just a personal position.
Mind you the condescension could be avoided if people did some homework.
If you have not gone beyond the teachings of this sect, then I will state I never realized how deep the error is in this teaching.
A small note - a well developed theology and position followed by millions of people cannot
be dismissed or mocked meaningfully in a few words. That is just a joke.
So if you want to be more than a mocker, approach the subject with the maturity it deserves.

How much time have you spent thinking about what being like Jesus is?
5 minutes, 1 hour, not at all?
Most would not even have asked the question. And the cultural answer is to just laugh.
So if you want to take Jesus seriously and the cross, you need to go a bit deeper.

And you just did it again. How do you know his illness is fatal. You don't!
Pray for him, encourage him. That's coming alongside of him. Like the Comforter!
You cast doubt on all of us.
Imagine this easy-believism verses Nazarene piety
Two different worlds, opposites more or less, in approach, in goals, in expectations.
As an explorer in Christ it is finding a place where a sinner reaches their goal, and the
language that goes with this.
Paul uses language that implies he desired to walk like Jesus.
Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. 1 Cor 11:1
With such open sentiments, along with the monastic traditions whose whole focus is on
fulfilling the walk, it is obvious the goal is shared, the method or reasons not.
And this is a subject that has interested me my whole christian life.
So the idea of being flippant just brings a sense it is not worth even beginning.

You may call yourself evangelical, but YOUR ATTITUDE of not wanting to Bow or Prostrate yourself before GOD, it NON-EVANGELICAL.
1 John 2:6 (HCSB)
6 The one who says he remains in Him should walk just as He walked.
2 Kings 17:36 (NJB)
36 You are to bow down and offer sacrifice only to Yahweh who brought you out of Egypt with great power and outstretched arm.
WE EVANGELICALS BELIEVE YAHWEH IS ALSO JESUS CHRIST, . . . . . . . DO YOU?
Traditions. My tradition is one of challenge and checking, how are we with the Lord.
Let us turn and humble ourselves and praise Him, spend time with Him.
In your tradition, this is probably interpreted as condemnation and causing people to doubt.
Stones, the subject of certain types of illness are best not discussed here.
There are many things that can be miss-understood and even knowledge held by others.
God bless you.
Wonderful passage! Kinda negates the perfect holiness in this life thing though.
Right here you, and Scripture admit that WE WILL BE LIKE JESUS PERFECTLY WHEN OUR BODIES ARE TRANSFORMED.
This is an obvious admission that we CAN'T be perfect in mind and soul while we still dwell in our dead Earthly bodies.
I also attend a Nazarene Church. I didn't specifically seek it out, and I have some differences with some of the stuff they believe, but the Holy Spirit is CERTAINLY Present there!
I believe for whatever His purposes are HE sent me there, and I love the people.
Hi vco,
I am happy to worship the Lord standing, bowing or being prostrate.
I have never said otherwise, so saying what you are saying makes no sense, as I have not said this.
I sometimes lie on the floor to emphasis my worship and submission to the King, always indebted
and thankful for His love and mercy, to a redeemed saint. God bless you
FollowHisSteps was previously banned and known as PeterJens. Here he is with his sugar coated flowery sweet counterfeit gospel, in full bloom; read it, know it, and run from it. He knows his gospel is not true but is only the imaginations of his sugar coated mind.
Dear forum, believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ, do not believe the counterfeit gospel of FollowHisSteps.
God bless!
just to add- pay attention to what one does, not just what one says.
speaking of walking like Jesus, walking toward perfection, etc... while at the same time calling members old, bitter, blind, deaf and dumb.
you will know a tree by it's fruit.
Hi Penn,
Interesting you go to a Nazarene church. I do not like this media and forums, because it makes people
jump to the wrong conclusions. I am not a sinless perfectionist, but I do believe in the walk and where
we are headed.
There are people who deny any walk or value in such a thing, to any degree, and will say and do anything
to create a wrong impression of others.
In a culture where morality and purity are being destroyed, establishing in Christ we have a heart to be
like Him, is important, foundational. I was struck that faith in Him for change is what all believers actually
believe because we are so sick of how we are and we literally want to be different.
It seems though to articulate this has been turned into "evil". Some have said the enemy has been largely to
blame for this, and they might be right. So brother, hello, God bless you.
On the interesting side, every time I find people and we share a blessing in the Lord, it has gone in some
way back to a Nazarene church. I have never been to such a place, but it probably is more my home than
anywhere.
Hello TT,
I like your language, thank you for complementing me for creating a whole gospel by myself.
It makes better sense to say the Nazarene Piety gospel is a sugar coated counterfeit gospel.
Now if that is your position, good for you, for being so assertive.
But apart from just expressing your feelings, it has no other content.
Would you like to provide some, so that people can know what you are actually justifying your position on?
It is like a child going on strike and running out of a room screaming. Yes they are upset
And to those who attend a Nazarene church, would you like to help them leave or should they just call you
a false teacher?
AMEN!!! Brother!!!
Praise Jesus mighty name boldly from the rooftops. I feel so overflowing brother, He is so powerful, He keeps me in awe, and I can't help but proclaim His name everywhere I am, given any chance for conversation at all. I know He is telling Habakkuk, in Habakkuk 1:5 “Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told... "
But I can't help but pray back"Thank You Lord, I am looking, and I am "ASTOUNDED", every day. Praise our God in the Name of Jesus.
PeterJens, you have no humility and anyone who follows in your steps is doomed, never have I seen a counterfeit gospel so deceptive than yours.
Repent and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
hey, give studyman some credit. his non-sense was just as bad, if not worse.
If you believe this, why did you bring it up?
Am a nurse...I know about the disease.
