    Faith & Love

    Every now and again I feel the need to make a post based not on forum guidelines, rules, or fear of potential sanctions from forum managers, but on conscience alone. This is one of them. After all, at the conclusion of all things, I will have to stand before Christ to give account (as will we...

    Did Jesus bear our sickness?

    Well, all of it! Are all healed in your church? Has Jesus borne the sicknesses of everyone in your local church? Or are the people in your local church still bearing itheir own sicknesses? I am not being contrary to the 1 Peter 2:24, Matt 8:17, Isaiah 53 doctrine. I just don't see it being...

    Jesus Never Told Us To Climb Mountains

    Jesus never told us to climb mountains but this sure is a mountain of a thread. ;)

    Do we really have any needs?

    I think this is what a lot of church people are driving at when they explain away the following verse. NASB Philippians 4:19 And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. For some reason it gets in my craw when people explain away this verse. They...

    Where do you stand on Christian Celebretism?

    But dont you think there is a real danger that a man (albeit a man of God) might get the glory rather than God? I do think there is a difference between the two. One encourages men to seek God, the other encourages men to lay down in the shadow of another man's "annointing" (to follow on from...

    WOF vs Spirit Led sub forums

    I think that hits the nail on the head. Its like the argument is usually "You must be a bit thick if you can't see that I'm right even though I have profferred no real case for what I'm saying" kind of statements which seem to abound. Maybe not quite as blatant as that but in essence. Doesn't...

    WOF vs Spirit Led sub forums

    There is probably quite a bit of wisdom in that. The most blind seem to be those who refuse to see. It would be much better if we can come together to encouage one another to trust God and see the blessings thereof.

    Does your triumph have God allowed sufferings, and defeats?

    Ok, but I guess I assumed a "spirit led" forum would not be calvinistic as they are not really if "spirit led" = Pentecostal. Back to the "triumph" issue which I think we glossed over the real issue altogether. To me, the real issue, is whether Jesus triumphs, not whether we triumph. Man...

    WOF vs Spirit Led sub forums

    Ok, that helps put me in the picture a bit. I had been using the "spirit led" sub forum in the hopes of getting a more well rounded pentecostal viewpoint but it seems, from what you are saying, that "spirit led" no longer means pentecostal.

    WOF vs Spirit Led sub forums

    I guess I have grown weary of the entire denominational thing even if it only takes the form of cheerleading our favorite denominations.

    WOF vs Spirit Led sub forums

    Since I have been a participant on these forums, on and off, and only recently started posting again, I was surprised to see an even bigger difference of opinion between these two sub forums than what I was used to. One thread in the spirit filled section, by a regular poster, said that we...

    Does your triumph have God allowed sufferings, and defeats?

    Ok, I was not aware this was a new charismatic position, or maybe, the now default christianforums.com charismatic position. I have, however, known it to be a popular view amongst the Calvinists for some time.

    Where do you stand on Christian Celebretism?

    Is that a vote *for* Christian Celebretism?

    Does your triumph have God allowed sufferings, and defeats?

    I thought you did (start this thread) but maybe it was my mistake in seeing this thread as an invitation to ask for clarification. In fact any discussion of doctrine seems to be a recipe for disaster these days and I could say more but ... there's probably no point.

    Does your triumph have God allowed sufferings, and defeats?

    Ok, but you did not clarify your previous answer about Paul knowing how to ask. It seems a bit "out of the blue" and appears to bear no relationship to the conversation.
