I know the mods are saying just ignore the thread. Well, that is Biblically wrong. Do you know the story of Jezebel, Ahab, and Elijah? Jezebel had a wicked agenda, and she even operated under the title: "Minister." Ahab was passive and allowed Jezebel to do what ever she wanted. On top of...

Okay, I was raised in a very strict church that believed in standards. 1. No classic pumps. 2. If you came to church without wearing hose (going bare-legged), you were going to hell. Yet, when a girl wears classic pumps (pointed-toe, stiletto heels) and goes bare-legged without hose, they...

How many United Methodist Churches (UMCs) have a contemporary worship service, without liturgy, without following a big structured bulletin, or have no bulletin at all? How many UMCs have just praise music, prayer time, sermon, and response, without any printed structure? How do you handle a...

In the overall 'big picture' of what God does - is saved, being saved, going to be saved - it is a process. Conversion being a changed behavior. That has to happen over time in a process. In the context of (becoming a Christian), the Biblical fact that 'justification' is often an...

I was also a PRIOR Baptist for 20-years, mainly Fundamental Baptist; > then Oneness Pentecostal for 9-years; > now, United Methodist. I will tell you what the similiarities are, and I will disspell mis-conceptions that I had towards Methodists while I was a Baptist, then mainly underline the...

Yes - you have to "trust" God in what he said he was/is/is going to do. It is not enough just to validate the propositions, but it must come from the heart.

To clarify - the question was what is required "to BECOME" a Christian not "live as" a Christian? What is required "to BECOME" [start] a Christian? Thank You, Greg

Alright - I've noticed some teaching from the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) that someone does not have "remission of sins" unless baptized. Even with confession of faith, no remission of sins until the time of water baptism, and that the only "manner" for "remission of sins" is water baptism. -Do...

Alright - I've noticed some teaching from LCMS that someone does not have "remission of sins" unless baptized. Even with confession of faith, no remission of sins until the time of water baptism, and that the only "manner" for "remission of sins" is water baptism. -Do Lutherans believe that...

I took one of these online quizzes: What denomination are you? The result was: I came out Methodist. A question on salvation had 3 choices: A. Faith [only] B. Faith and the essentiality of water baptism C. Faith, water baptism, and good works of piety I chose: A - Faith [only] -...

Technically - No, they do not. If you are objective, a hypocrite can be a mentor to teach you what not to do. You need to be objective as you observe the behavior. Just remember what they did, and then do the exact opposite. You will be fine! My advice - you can learn what not to do from...
