    Dad Hagin's position on OSAS

    It was our decision to accept Christ but once we are saved, it is His will to keep us. In other words, your salvation is not totally in your hands to accept and then reject. As Bob Yandian teaches: "It was God's will to bring us into salvation. It was our will to accept it. And it is God's will...

    Was Jesus "born again"?

    Then what does it mean when the scripture states that the second adam was quickened (made alive) in spirit? Too many verses are being proof-texted and others are being discarded in this discussion by those who are against Jesus dying spiritually.

    Drinking alcohol

    I believe that the Old testament stated that those who could not bring their tithes to the city that God had designated could sell the tithe and get money and then buy strong drink or whatever their hearts desired. I do not believe that there is such a thing as a geographical sin. We are all...

    Dad Hagin's position on OSAS

    I used to believe in conditional salvation as Hagin mentions but am now OSAS. Even Bob Yandian who was the Dean of Instructors at Hagin's Rhema Bible Training Center believes in OSAS and has several tape sets on it. Settled it for me. When you sin it does not affect your spirit as your spirit...

    We Are Under The Abrahamic Covenant.

    If we were living under the Law this would only be partly true. There were 612 commands that Israel had to follow in order to be blessed. If you broke one of the laws you were guilty of all. Under the new covenant, the blessings of Abraham come on the Gentiles through tithing...oops..sorry, I...

    Can A Church Meet In A House? by Dean Wall

    You do not prosper by law keeping--tithing, sowing and reaping. You prosper because Jesus bore your poverty for you just as He bore your sin and sicknesses. You access the blessings through faith--not your giving. When you give do it as an act of faith in the fact that you are already...

    Not appearing at a Word Faith church near you!

    rhema is usually translated as "spoken word" but really, it is the "communicated" word that it is referring to. Sinners can hear and hear and hear and never get faith for salvation because the message never gets communicated--they do not listen attentively in order for the Word to have an...

    Tithing

    Actually, only those who grew crops or animals were required to tithe. Tradesmen and other occupations did not tithe according to the Law. Jesus supported tithing during His day because He was still under the law. Best book on the subject is FREE...

    Sowing seed

    I think you should get the book "Beyond Tithes and Offerings" it is a very enlightening book dealing with tithing and what is taught today. If you are a joint-heir with Christ and own all things do you really think that 10% is really impressing Him? You are under a new covenant with a superior...

    What has God promised?

    You can "claim" everything that God has provided by His grace. In other words, you do not move God with your faith; your faith is your positive response to what God has already done for you. A good teaching is Andrew Wommack's :You;ve already Got It" available for free at www.awmi.net.

    Is Home Church Better

    I believe that home churches are next on God's agenda for the simple reason that the IC or institutional church--at least in America--has failed to change society and cities. I notice that many who are opposed to home church are those that stand to lose their "job" or "position" within the...
