    Think about it... how do deaf people talk? Then you will have your answer to how deaf people communicate the gospel message, in words.

    If you cannot go back and read what those scriptures say there is not point continue to talk. I for one am done with casting pearls before swine.

    What is Evangelism?

    I have talked to many people who have strange ideas about evangelism. So I thought I would start a discussion on what is evangelism and what tools can and should be used. Let's start with what the Bible says about evangelism. "How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in...

    Emergant Church... Christian or cult.

    Paul writes: "How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?" (Rom 10:14, NIV) The gospel must be proclaimed verbally or the person will not be able to...

    Reread the passages! First, take of your blinders. Second, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal His truth to you. Then reread the passages.

    Emergant Church... Christian or cult.

    It should make sense for both. Look evangelism is the proclaimation of the gospel. If we have not shared the good news of the gospel we haven't evangelized. There may be many modes and methods to present the same gospel, but to key is that the gospel is presented. I only know a handful of...

    Emergant Church... Christian or cult.

    I didn't say all, I said many don't evangelize. Example: my last church. I was the only one doing evangelism. In the region that I live there are five evangelical churches and none of them are doing evangelism, at least as a church as a whole. Again I am not saying that all, just many. I...

    I have given references which clearly refer to Adam and Eve as real people. If you don't want to accept and believe what scripture says that is up do you. This disbelief in the truth of God's word by most, if not all TEs is tiresome. Besides, I was address the op who was asking for help, I...

    Scripture is clear that Adam was a real person. He talked about in 1 Chr 1:1; Hos 6:7; Luke 3:38; Rom 5:14; 1 Cor 15:22, 45; 1 Tim 2:13-14: Jud 1:14. Eve is also refered to as real person in 1 Cor 11:3; 1 Tim 2:13. Eden is mentioned as a real place in Isa 51:3; Eze 28:13; 31:9-18; 36:35; Joel...

    Emergant Church... Christian or cult.

    I have been away from this discussion for awhile but today I decided to read some of the more recent posts. I am concerned about some of the talk of being able to be a Chrisitian in another religious context. A Christian can not combine his/her Christian faith with other religions. God's word...

    What percentage of a congregational vote is acceptable for a 'call'

    I believe that a vote to call a pastor is not a good thing. For a few reasons: 1) In every congregation there are members who are very immature spiritually. 2) There is a possibilty that some members may not actually be a Christian. 3) A vote does not allow the spiritual leaders of the church to...

    Signs of Wolves In Sheeps Clothing

    It is true that sometimes the wolf can be the pastor, but we must be careful when we speak against those God has placed in authority over us. This is where 1 Tim 5:19 is so important. One other caution, be sure not to list names; it can and usually does end up becoming gossip whether it is...

    What you (Christians) think of Atheists

    I view athiests like I do any other non-believer: They too need Jesus. They say that they don't believe in a God, but that doesn't change the reality of their need for a Savior. We must share to gospel with them. Sometimes we think about arguing with them, but that is so not the point. Our...
