Hi, I haven't posted here in forever almost. My contribution to your question: First, I thank you for your stand in Christ.........Thank you. Second, I don't know how leaving institutional church has left you "homeless." Are you literally homeless? honestly I'm not joking. If you're...

Hi everyone, I've been revisiting the issue of proper BIBLICAL teaching. Jesus taught for 3 + years and he said the Holy Spirit would guide us into ALL the truth. Fast forward about 2000 years and Voila! Modern day America and it's denoms & sects. So, There is a difference between the...

Right....New Hampshire is a different beast my friend...Especially when you leave the big cities. Come up here and see........ You'll find lots of dead churches and many backwoods fellowships that cannot communicate and mutually submit to one another. Serious problems.........I don't even...

Hi and No, it isn't brother. It can be however. Biblical Christianity is NOT Protestant Lutheranism (or any other brand of Protestantism, Catholicism, or Orthodoxy either). Biblical Christianity is following Jesus the Christ and following the pattern God set up as recorded in the New...

Quite True! We will be more concerned about what the Lord says. However we have a massive problem today. People have been taught wrong and the only place I can find to bring new believers is to the home fellowship I have with a husband & wife! Living in New England.......it's very difficult to...

Hi everyone, Happy New Year! So, I find myself in yet another "interesting place" with God's people: A series of events happens and people think that God is displeased or is allowing evil on them AFTER we discuss the biblical model for fellowship and we all come to a consensus that God's word...

Hi Parsley, THE problem is that denominational lines of thinking are so entrenched in this country (USA), that instead of them viewing you as a friend, you are viewed as attacking THEM. You know this........Entrenched thinking is a stronghold deluxe complex. Most Christian women I've met do...

THAT is the reason cults and Charismatic personalities "Rule" over people. This is the reason why I primarily left the Christian home fellowships I was part of. This reason AND because they didn't want to co-mingle with other believers due to an unwillingness to submit to one another AND...

I am not a pronent of the "house church movement" that you might think I am. This is very important to establish from the get go. Most of the "house church movement" is nothing but denominationalism matriculated into a person's house, apartment or condo and I explicitly refute that ideology...

Sorry for ANY misunderstanding. I do apologize. However this thread is not about "theology" per se but rather house churches and cell groups. My stance is "read the word and let it tell you how the believers gathered and under what kind of oversight." We find Elders & Apostles speaking w/one...

Look, John isn't speaking of the Law of Moses but of the Logos of God. The Logos is a Greek word, not a Hebrew one. You can get the gist of it by looking at an ancient Greek book of philosophy. Adam & Eve never received 10 commandments but 1 only. Abraham had ZERO commandments as such but...

I'm not teaching Replacement Theology but rather this: Paul taught that salvation comes through faith in Christ and not being Jewish. Paul taught that a portion of Israel will be saved, not the entire race. Paul taught that the covenants, promises, etc. were first and foremost given to Israel...

Well, again, it goes like this: Jesus is THE leader. No other human being is a leader. Matthew 23:10-12 NASB version of the bible: "Do not be called leaders, for One is your Leader, Christ but the greatest among you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever...

Hi, It's not about ANYONE leading! It's about Elders being examples and making sure the body of Christi is growing along proper lines, which is to say biblical lines: Fruit & Gifts of the Holy Spirit Jesus is the leader. I don't understand why that is so difficult to accept by people. Maybe...

Hi Everyone, I'd like to quickly post my experience, in a looong time, of dating a Christian sister who has been denominationalized: We met via a dating site and then met in person. All seemed well until biblical doctrine was discussed. Things didn't go south however! LOL Essentially the old...

Thank you for being honest. You are appreciated. The reason why I ask you is that according to the written word, No one can say Jesus is Lord and mean it without the Holy Spirit. Insofar as a revelation from the Father that Jesus is the Christ, I couldn't agree with you more. Without...

Hello, I hope you have found a fellowship that actually follows God's word, my friend. No fellowship should be so galvanized as to "stick with 1 or 2 things exclusively." That is how a denomination first starts = Focusing on 1 particular thing to the exclusion of all else. Remember, if you...

I did just pray (an Old English term meaning ask) and the answer was to ask you directly: Do you believe that Jesus is God and that he died on the cross for your sins? Do you believe that the bible is God's message to humanity par excellence? I know what theology means but the point here is...

Those were words of knowledge however subsequently the Lord told me to speak to them regarding more about them other than the immediate word of knowledge.....Then it does become a prophetic word. TillICollapse, I doubt you are a Christian because you say the "nature of God" which sounds...

I too "like reality" as I'm not given to flights of fancy and nonsense! Thanks Insofar as the example I gave regarding non-believers knowing about God, it was merely 1 example which IS valid and was actually taught in Ancient Greek circles. There is a book called "Eternity in their...
