What is the fastest growing Christian Denomination? Why do you think it is?

Charismatics encompass so many denominations (as you mentioned). As for Pentecostal/Word of Faith. The largest Pentecostal denomination is the Assemblies of God. The largest Word of Faith is Rhema with 314 schools, a global student body of 25,000

I am intimately aware of both. Their doctrinal stances are identical. The differences lie is in the emphasis on certain teachings.
Thanks for the response!

Thessalonians 4 Does Not Teach a Rapture Separate from the Second Coming

Luk 21:36 Watch therefore and be constant in prayer, that ye may be counted worthy to escape all these things, which shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

I'm more concerned about the marriage supper of the Lamb than I am with people's theological opinions otherwise.
How is that not just another "theological opinion?"

Energy chief suggests Trump administration is altering previously published climate reports; staff for next iteration all fired already

If we have reached the point where science depends on consensus rather than veracity, then it is truly dead.
Science doesn't depend on consensus, but consensus tends to develop around ideas that are correct and significant. If no one is citing your work - especially after over a decade - then it's most likely insignificant, irrelevant, repetitive, or straight up wrong.

Progressive Covenentalism

He denies Reformed doctrine of Pauline Justification

In most historic Reformed churches, the historic confessions don't operate in that manner, they describe what is historically true, as testaments of faith, but they don't close off newer biblical scholarship.

RFK Jr’s ‘Maha’ report found to contain citations to nonexistent studies

In other words, do people dislike RFK because of his anti-vaxx positions?, or are the anti-vaxx positions just the "public facing" reason being given, but the real reason they dislike him is because he aligned with the president they don't like?
It's quite reasonable to object to his position on various medical matters. It's quite stupid to object just because he's part of the administration.

Whether one likes him or not is an entirely different matter. I'd have a beer with all of the presidents from JFK onwards, even though I objected strongly to some of their policies. Well, all with one exception. I disagree with almost political move Trump makes but I also dislike the man intently.

I sincerely hope he comes to Australia. You'll find out how many others feel as I do.

Trump Threatens Federal Takeover of Washington After Member of DOGE Is Assaulted

So you're going to derail any thread not about Epstein because they're all deflections.
You haven't been paying attention, then. Do some looking, and learn.

You're a man on a mission. If you can get people talking about Epstein in numerous threads,
Lots of people are talking about that. About 2/3s of Americans think Trump is hiding from it.

that will supposedly achieve getting the files released.
Trump seems to think that the damage he's taking is less than he'd take if he came clean. Maybe so. Does it matter?

The Progressive Approach to Crime: Probation officer’s spot check finds unconscious woman in sex offender’s St. Paul apartment

He was convicted of murder in 1987, his next major crime was kidnapping a 17 year old girl and she was lucky to escape else she would be dead.
He never should have seen the light of day after that. Next he was convicted of assault TWICE while in prison. Twice again the opportunity to keep him in for life was missed. Then he was released. The number one goal should be to protect society.
Prove this was a progressive thing to do. If you can't, you should edit the title.
I agree he should never have been released but there are laws that judges have to follow. The murder conviction was in Illinois.

The judge denied a conditional release and set a high bond that the defendant couldn't possibly pay.

Do the promises in God’s word come true?

Matthew 27:46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,
saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say,
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?


Mark 15:34
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,
saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted,
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Trump goes after mail-in voting and election machines; "States are merely an “agent” for the Federal Government", must do what President says

Truth now, Executive Order to Follow.

View attachment 368680

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!

Article I, Section 4, Clause 1:
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

States rights! Separation of Powers!
Not surprising that the post Trump made is full of lies.

There has been no evidence of fraud via mail in ballots. There are checks on it. Dozens of countries use mail in ballots.
No, Trump can't dictate what states must do regarding elections. An EO cannot overrule the state laws on elections per the Constitution which he rarely seems to consult.

Putin sure knows how to trigger and manipulate Trump.

If it's to ask, do you consider Pentecostal, Charismatic, and Word of Faith all related?

Questions and Answers

It is the Bible Prophets who have all the answers.
No, the Bible Prophets don't have all the answers.

Daniel 8:27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

Daniel 12:
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

God is Who has all the answers - no one else.

The Progressive Approach to Crime: Probation officer’s spot check finds unconscious woman in sex offender’s St. Paul apartment


What about protecting the citizenry?
Precisely how is this progressive?
He was sentenced in 2009 to 12 years in jail and released in 2023 which is longer than the 12 years. Since then he has been in an intensive release program and this was found by a random check.

So what is progressive? He is back in jail and probably will be for a long time. His bond is high, and the judge denied a conditional release.
