Personally, I'll be voting for Ron Paul. Come November, I don't know what I'll do. I think he's the only one I could conscientiously vote for. I'm still reeling that McCain will probably get the Republican nod. You couldn't have convinced me he'd be the front runner a few months ago....

I can handle that! I have to say, what he believes is VERY close to what I've come to believe, with the exception that I'm still calling myself a 'tentative' historic pre-mil. I have no issues with amils though, I just haven't wrapped my mind around eschatology enough to claim anything...

Hey all! It's been forever since I've been here. I saw when I logged in that my last visit was the middle of August! Wow, didn't realize it had been THAT long! Glad to see some familiar faces around here, and looking forward to maybe meeting some new ones. I've peeked into a few...

It's CCWoody's 38 birthday this week 4 days ago!! Just in case you forgot you are getting old!!! LOLOL

exactly! LOL

I've never been involved in WOF, but I found it interesting that a while back, my pastor actually took one Sunday during a series to speak about false prophets and named 3 false prophets in the church today(by name, no less! with pictures and examples of why they were false prophets :)~ ) and...

Welcome aboard!! :)

Did you realize that James Arminius was a student of Calvin's, and after reading many of Calvin's writings on election and predestination he came up with a 5 point rebuttal to what Calvin taught? The scholars then came up with TULIP to disprove Arminius's 5 points, and THAT is how TULIP (or...

definitely not "originated" by Calvin. Calvin wrote quite a bit about election and predestination, but it wasn't until a long while after his death that the term "calvinism" became popular. and it's not a 'theory that individuals are predestined to be in or out of the church without any...

yeah, and for a WHOLE WEEK you get to be reminded! As well as for a week after(just in case you forgot!) LOL

Excellent points Woody...perhaps I shouldn't be so assuming.... I agree totally with everything you said. However, I must point out that I've never seen a website by a confirmed calvinistic church that sidestepped the issue in the way this churche's site does. Doesn't make them arminian...

Woody, your posts always crack me up! ;)

...double post, sorry.

No, it's not a Calvinist church. I underlined the phrases that prove it. However, they don't seem to be fully arminian either--more than likely, they are sitting the fence, so to speak....

I"m not a big fan of crosses and symbols myself. I do have a wooden cross on the wall of my living room that my dad made; I think I have it more as a reminder of my dad and his love of woodworking than anything else! Used properly, I think the display of the cross can be full of meaning...

anytime edb19! :) I don't accept their rationale anymore either, which is why I'm no longer Quaker; however, many, many people believe that Quakers abandon baptism altogether, and that is not the case, it's a matter of understanding baptism in a spiritual sense, not a physical action.

I do gotta ask you one thing---do you know why Quakers don't baptize? It's not that they don't believe in 'baptism'--it's that they see baptism as being a spiritual event, not a physical thing. They believe that we are baptized in the Holy Spirit, and that the physical baptism that John...

I was raised in the Quaker faith, but God led me to a baptist church that I am a member of now, when I came to a crossroads in my beliefs vs Quaker beliefs. I call myself 'baptist' because I agree with the baptist belief of credo-baptism and emmersion. I do not however, have 'problems' with...

Well I like you Cube, so I don't have a problem with you coming in here and hanging out occasionally! (course, seeing as how I'm reformed baptist, I guess that's no surprise! :) ) anyhoo, I thought your points were right on. The bible is NOT specific about how we should be baptized...

Oh, and a response to the OP....... I have no problems with an occasional drink or two. I wouldn't drink at all if I knew there was someone around me that was an alcoholic/recovering alcoholic or if I thought my drinking would encourage excess by any else. But in instances where it is just...
