    The Law of Moses and the New Covenant

    I think that this can be properly understood by a proper understanding of the Law and its purpose. As others have correctly said, the Law was never intended as a means of salvation, but rather to show us our sin. Abraham was justified by faith, not by keeping the law (Romans 4:3, etc.). In...

    Tongues infront of friends??

    I'd have to agree with previous posts that tongues never was used to "show off," but you are correct in stating that they are a sign to the unbeliever. 1 Cor. 14:22 says, "Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but...

    Mark 16:16 salvation by water baptism and belief or not

    The first problem (I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this or not) is the textual problems with the last few verses of Mark 16. This is one of the only passages of Scripture about which there is any serious debate about its originality. This is debated even within evangelical circles (read...

    The Bible clearly states YOU HAVE TO HAVE WORKS

    I think the original post misunderstands what is meant by James in these cases. For example, in the verse quoted from chapter 2, the immediate context of the comment was left out. (Slightly later he says that Abraham was justified by faith - verse 23). Look also in verses 17-18: "Thus also faith...

    How Pentecostal Are You?

    Mine said I was 96% Reformed Evangelical, which is pretty accurate. Some of the questions seemed pretty loaded to me though. BTW, I think "Evangelical Holiness" is referring to the Holiness movement from the 1800's. Pentecostalism is, in many ways, decended from the Holiness movement.

    The 2nd Savior is coming soon

    This is certainly not a true prophecy. There is absolutely NOT a "second Savior." Take a look at what the Bible says: From Luke 17 (NIV): 22Then he said to his disciples, "The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. 23Men will tell...

    Help with tongues..

    Not to raise controvercy, but in any case, whether you believe that tongues continued into the church age or not (which is probably not as clear from Scriptures as either Pentecostals/charismatics or cessationists would like to believe), the Bible is clear about a few things about tongues: -...

    Why are some christians calvinist?

    As a Calvinist myself, I will explain exactly why I came to believe Calvinism. I have not always been a Calvinist, but came to believe it several years ago. Before I begin though, I would like to point out a potential misunderstanding. I'm not sure if this is the way the post was originally...
