    Yahwehists, The Sacred Name Movement, and a pagan god

    I have not done extensive study on this, but it is of significant interest to look into the possibility that the name, "Yahweh," is not only God's name, or God's "Sacred Name," (for those of the sacred name movement,) but it has shown up in ancient text as the name of a couple of different pagan...

    Can an unbeliever have faith?

    Can an unbeliever have faith? The answer is both yes and no. Let's look at the negative first. No. An unbeliever cannot have faith becasue he, of himself, is incapable of finding it. 2 Cor. 4 [3] But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: [4] In whom the god of this world...

    Baptism: Which Mode?

    As Baptist or "baptistic" people, we typically accept that baptism is immersion. I would, too, based on certain observations and assumptions like: John 3 [23] And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. If it wasn't...

    It's not double inspiration

    As the title says, 'It;s NOT double inspiration. Some think that those who tenaciously adhere to the purity and preservation of the word of God, for the English speaking world, in the King James Version, believe in double inspiration. This is not so. The inspiration is in the words. Read on...

    Thoughts on Arminianism

    I would like to consider the theory that man, once saved, could, through sin and unbelief, return again to an unsaved state. If a man could lose his salvation, through whatever acts or failure of faith has been deemed by those who embrace this, could he turn again and be "saved again?" Here...

    A Pre Wrath Poem

    Then Cometh the End Desperate lives and stressed out people, Ever chasing an elusive peace. Heart attack and sudden terror. Does this rat race ever cease? Politics is not the answer, All they do is lie and steal. The Councilman with true intentions, Upon deaf ears makes his appeal. Vain...

    The question of evangelism

    Hey, house church brethren, I have a question: What do you do to evangelize your community? When I went to XYZ Church on 123 Main Street, it was easier to go during the week, door to door, and pass out tracts, and invite them to the "church" they have driven by 1,000 times. House church...
