    Primitive Baptists are similar. I do believe they practice foot-washing.

    Some questions about your denomination

    BTW, just out of curiosity...how's the instrumental thing working out over there? Is the membership increasing as a result? Is it still being used as simply an outreach tool? It it more performance-oriented or participant-oriented? Not looking to attack, just curious. Haven't heard anything...

    Some questions about your denomination

    Well, you're the one that brought up the birthday..... I just gave you an answer. You are correct though. There is no Scripture that says, "one man plays a harp, another a guitar. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind." Thus the problem....

    Matthew 12 - Humm

    From your post: From your words you seem to infer: 1. Jim states confession doesn't matter. 2. Jim believes all that matters is what you do. 3. Jim promotes heresy. Does that sound like an unreasonable interpretation of the above statement? My post simply asks is it any better to...

    Matthew 12 - Humm

    I'm saying, I don't think MrJim was advocating the position you were attributing too him. Taking his words to mean that would be just like taking your question and assuming you meant what I asked you. Faith and works are both important to a Christian. Faith inspires good fruit and good fruit...

    Matthew 12 - Humm

    Is it any better to advocate "It doesn't matter what you do, only what you say."?

    Rick Warren = Dr. Phil??

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/10/rick-warren-sarah-palin-c_n_125420.html Does anyone else have a problem with this? If someone called you for spiritual advice, would you name-drop on public radio, who it was and what she asked? It kind of reminded me of the time Dr. Phil showed up at...

    Does 'no Creed' lead to 'one Creed'?

    No, not really. If that view does not stand the test of Scripture, it is invalid. The "agreed Creed" is simply the Bible. God can make Himself just as understandable (and even more) than any man can. Which is more important though, that people "mutually agree" on a subject or that we agree...

    Moral question about flirting

    Flirting is like holding your hand over a flame as long as you can and then pulling it away for fun. Sooner or later, you are going to get burned. You can admire (and even love) someone of the opposite sex and wish the best for them. You can be kind and a genuine friend. But I know of many...

    Church elder dilemma

    Well, if you've been counselled against that, then there is something going on there I don't know about. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that's not a good idea. I agree with you it's not a matter for a public forum. Good luck with your situation.

    Church elder dilemma

    But have you tried actually asking?? :) Sometimes if you let things fester, they just get worse. ("I'm increasingly of the opinion....") If you ask directly, you at least know. (You may not like what you find out, but at least you know.) Regardless, I get the impression there is probably...

    Church elder dilemma

    Perhaps one solution might be to go up to the man alone and ask, "What is it that you have against me?" You can sit here and guess all day and talk about it with your Pastor, set up meetings with intermediaries, pass messages back and forth all year, and involve 30 other people in the whole...

    Does 'no Creed' lead to 'one Creed'?
