No, nothing--not even salvation-- without obedience!

Are we trying to imagine that we emulate first century Church by giving up musical instruments? It not a big deal compared to giving up all! David was an emotional man. God sees the heart, not our physical acts. Same David committed adultery and murder later! Is restoration movement a easy...

I am sorry if my posting hurted you and sounded harsh. I have come to know that there are churches of Christ that do use instruments. Am I correct? Musical instruments are embellishments to singing and also to soothe us spiritually. David's playing of the harp helped king Saul when he was...

Excerpts from the published book "Why I Am a Believer In Jesus" I would like to consider one cult as an example. It is the ‘Church of Christ’! The first Jerusalem Church had all believers giving up their property and possession and sharing their needs in common. This particular...

Large number of believers claim themselves as followers or disciples of Chirst! They are not!

I think the highest scriptural authority of Hinduism, namely, 'Vedanta' recognizes only one supreme God! Hence, the trinity concept and idolatry of Hinduism are considered very inferior and observed by those who have not attained knowledge of the Supreme! Unfortunately, Hinduism is overwhelmed...

There is not much to reconsider! Celibacy helps in agape love. Marriage brings in carnal love that may hinder a full time work for the kingdom of God. Hence, married people can only help the full time celibate monks in the second order of responsibility in a Church organisational matters.

:thumbsup: Is it a weakness of men to seek lower end gifts when Paul urges us to seek prophesying? Eventually Paul asks us to cultivate the fruit of the Spirit, love, over spiritual gifts since gifts do not bring salvation, but the fruit of the Spirit does.

I am sorry to state that this has become a catchy statement for Protestants without the support from the Bible to indicate as if a believer in Jesus gets a free licence to commit sins as they like. Jesus kept warning people after forgiving the sins to sin no more. Jesus can only forgive sins of...

There are two different aspects of tongue speaking. One is unknown existing foreign language to the speaker but understood by people present. This happened on Pentecost with utterances by the Holy Spirit. There is no way this can be controlled by mortal men! In Corinth, it was person's spirit...
