I don't see how these people fail to see the point of this passage and misinterpret what Jesus said. Jesus specifically referenced those believers who called Him LORD. Jesus said to them not everyone who calls me Lord shall enter the kingdom and gives the reason which is because they practiced...

You're welcome. Yes, at the resurrection they are judged for not doing His will and as a result they end up in the lake of fire where they will learn to do His will and at that point, Jesus will in practice actually be the Lord of their lives instead of the "lip service" they gave prior to the...

Just because Christians calls Jesus "Lord" does not necessarily entail that Jesus is indeed the Lord of their lives. That is the whole point of this passage. These people were actually believers because they prophesied, cast out demons and did the miraculous - "in his name." Only regenerate...

If you take the mark of the beast will you just lose your rewards?

Would you mind citing just one or two to back up your claim? Just the strongest ones in your opinion.

You've thrown out the baby with the bath water. First of all, the speaker lied or at the very least misspoke when she made some accusations that are not true of Evangelical churches. That destroys whatever credibility she may have had. Secondly, she fails to distinguish between axiomatic...

The point is you equated this cult with Evangelical churches. I simply pointed out to you that some of the points the speaker made are simply untrue of Evangelical churches. Thus the straw man argument is born.

There are extremes that were described as characteristic of this cult which are not typical of Evangelical churches such as not allowing pierced ears, not to mention things that would not be tolerated in an Evangelical church such as treating persons of color as second class citizens. So your...

Indeed; a straw man argument.

The disciples were willing to die for their faith in order to reach their ultimate goal as these martyrs were: Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of...

The term "demon" and "unclean spirit" are use synonymously in the NT. For example; Luke 8:29 For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be...

They are not two separate things as sometimes - not always - they can be the exact same thing as physical/mental symptoms can have spiritual causes: Lk 6:17 Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there, along with a great number of people...

Just wondering, so why does Joyce Meyer as a preacher/pastor not submit to God's word where it says "But I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to use authority over a man, but to be in quietness." 1 Tim 2:12

Your choice to stay uninformed and cling to your view.

Yep, you didn't read the article. That says it all.
