Putting aside the core issue that the recent comments were about I just wanted to comment on some of the underlying assumptions in the comments. Christian doctrine is that we are all abnormal in two senses. None of us are now naturally what God intended us to be, so in that sense we are all...

Hi, since you seemed to needed a thread to post on, I created one for you. My first question is the symbol for Atheism on this site meant to represent a head with a brain or is it showing a head without a brain? I presume it is meant to be the first but often I look at the symbol and am unsure...

I have been at a Baptist church for 14 years, and really like it as a church. However my oldest son is approaching the age, where he if he chooses, he will start instruction on baptism 9and he is very likely to choose to do so). I got a copy of the kids baptism course. My problem is that I...

What a knot we as a country have got ourselves in. The below are what I think the majority agree on.... 1) Accepting genuine refugees 2) Non genuine refugees should be returned 3) Boat trips across tropical waters can be dangerous (especially in ships that are falling apart) 4) It costs lots...

What does it mean to be charismatic? Is it somone who is pentecostal in theology but doesn't attend a pentcostal church or does it include all non-cessationists? Having grown up in a church that was evenly split between non-cessationists and cessationists, I always used the term charismatic to...

Just curious about the posters on this board.... Which of the following do people feel best descibes their position on baptism.... 1) Symbolic only 2) Part of Santification but not part of justification. 3) Normative part of a faithful expression of faith, should be normally part of...

I was reading Jack Cottrell, describe how he thought salvation was conditional. I know Calvinist believe in unconditonal election. I think I would prefer to think of it as "responsive election". God offers salvation, and those that respond to that offer are saved God initiates and we...

Is it possible to have a sane discussion about these traumatic and difficult topic? One without stereotyping people, belittle others or either side attempting to take the high moral ground. What the majority (I hope) of Australians agree on… 1) We should accept valid refugees 2) We...

I'm looking for an explanation about limited atonement and the resurrection of the non-elect. If Adam's sin brought death both physical and spiritual and Christ's death brought the atonement and the resurrection from the dead. Therefore if the atonement is limited to only the elect, why...

1) How many mainland territories in Australia? 2) Who (according to the constitution) is the current President? 3) With which countries does the Commonwealth of Australia share land boundaries? 4) How many Australian states do not have a land boundary with another state? 5) What is the...

This is just a funny observation, nothing meant by it. I hadn't seen it pointed out and thought it was mildly humorous. Given the whole "War on Everything" (sorry Terrorism) thing. The Democrats have a chosen ticket with a guy with the given names are Obama Hussein. He goes and picks a running...

Crawfish, during an OT comment during the latest IM posting marathon you mentioned about “household” baptism and the possibility of it including infants. Have you considered Acts 18:8, “Crispus, the synagogue ruler, and his entire household believed in the Lord; and many of...

Based on the following scripture the majority of the restoration movement churches in Australia have had conferences with delegates from churches reaching decisions. (With the caveat that the decisions are only as binding on the local church as it chooses for them to be.) Acts 15:1 Controversy...

I'm from Australia and came to follow Jesus and be baptised at a Church of Christ ( a conference aligned one). This present a small problem because people generally think in US terms on the web, so they presume I'm from the US type Church of Christ. Except for the few RM'ers I've meet who...
