I've looked over the rules and it looks like I can share here. If not, please remove this post. Anyway, some of you may remember me. I was a regular on these boards a couple of years ago and enjoyed discussions with many Adventists. I have recently written about my spiritual journey here...

I recently received some kid's educational materials in the mail and it had Noah's flood dated at 3500 BC. Most sources I have seen date it much later. Does anyone know the rationale for the 3500 BC date?

As I mentioned previously Evangelists like Billy Graham aren't promoting their distinct beliefs, but the Gospel. I know many different churches work together for the sake of the Gospel and various churches do follow-up. Also, many evangelists that don't fill stadiums typically have their...

We must have attended different seminars then. In the last seminar I attended the John 3:16 message was covered in about 10-15 minutes toward the beginning of the meetings. Granted, they had cards they passed out where a person could check off that they accepted Jesus and that happened on more...

I think many evangelists don't promote their own set of beliefs, but focus on sharing the Gospel. Different churches work together all the time for one event that focuses on sharing the Gospel. Does Billy Graham preach in his crusades about specific doctrinal issues that would make someone...

It is more important to understand that he is already defeated and doomed. Does Adventism have the devil's tactics as part of their belief statement?

I don't think you will find all those things in most belief statements. Non-denominational churches are in general inclusive rather than exclusive and allow for liberty regarding some issues. Churches I typically attend would hold to 1 and 6 as normal beliefs among attendees. I haven't...

The covenant between God the Father and God the Son to ensure salvation for all mankind. We enter it by faith in what Christ did for us. To agape and to believe on Jesus. We are to be led by the Holy Spirit who works in us and through us to transform us and those around us. Inaugurated at...

I would hardly qualify that survey as statistical based due to the extremely small sample size that was developed among his friends, associates, and students only. Based on my training in statistics this survey would fall flat. Anyone is free to make up their own quiz and assign values to it...

I did come out in the category I would place myself in, but that doesn't change the flawed nature of the quiz.

From going over the survey and the article by the guy who made up the survey it doesn't appear that he understands the difference between the old and new covenant. For instance, the last question about the Sabbath had no answer that I could agree with because it was either Saturday is the...

If you are focusing on other people and what they are doing then you are right - that is not worship. You can do that whether a service is "lively" or "solemn" though. Because some may focus on others during a lively service or during a solemn service doesn't make one way more right than...

Do you have a link to the "not a few indeed celebrate the sabbath with the Jews" quote in the context of the paragraph or page it was written? I have been looking online and can only find the quote you gave and nothing of the context.

Context? The bringing of the ark of the covenant to the city of David. Church? No he was not in church. They had no church or temple. Is that the issue you have with it? Dancing is fine outside the church building? David was bringing the most sacred item in the temple to the city of David...

You found a denomination. When you go to a non-denominational church (wof or not) that one in your town may be a great fit, but if you move across the country the non-denominational church in your town may not be a good fit. Denominations have belief statements that apply to churches in their...

My husband and I are pretty much in unity in all areas of belief. My husband teaches a great variety of things from the pulpit, but the basis of grace through faith is evident in whatever he preaches. The ones here at CF pretty much agree on most doctrines and they came up with a statement...

I'm not sure where you get that they spell out their teachings pretty clearly. They are not a denomination or a church but a movement and beliefs on some issues can vary greatly. Many are works-based rather than grace-based. I think it is helpful to remember that we are on a journey. Where...

Romans 5 "12Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— 13for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even...

I didn't ask about Jonah. I asked if a preacher across town prophesied about something how would you know if it was conditional or if it was false/incorrect if there was no conditional language in the prophecy?

Agape resides in a born again Christian, not in human nature. The Holy Spirit resides in a born again Christian. I think you misunderstood. I agree with you here. No law could make anyone righteous. Please refer me to the texts that say the non-Israelites living outside of Israel were...
