Yes an actively gay person is saved if they have repented to God and believed in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ at one point in their life and thus been regenerated. When they did this the Holy Spirit came into their human spirit and made them alive in Christ, a new creation and born...

I have finally made up my mind to join the catholic church. It has been an 8 month journey. I am a revert. I enjoyed the mass today. Very good music and good priest talking about encountering Christ. I generally accept many of the teachings but i still believe in prima scriptura and eternal...

I could not agree with you more iryn40. let the bible and not the culture be the rule of faith applied to same sex relations . Genuine Christians are to be governed so with the aid of the Holy Spirit.

I have never felt anything in a pentecostal setting and i was one for 9 years.I have felt sinful in a catholic mass and happy on another occassion. I do meet with a group associated with Watchman Nee and with these saints i always sense the presence of God corporately and individually. It is...

CANON IX. If any one shall say, that by faith alone the impious is justified; so as to mean that nothing else is required to co-operate in order unto obtaining the grace of justification, and that it is not in any respect necessary that he be prepared and disposed by the movement of his own...

I am a baptized catholic but never been confirmed. I have been an evangelical non denominational christian for most of my adult life. I went to confession last week. The priest is a nice man who i spoke to face to face. He did give me some advice and spiritual help and for a few days i was...

I would say the majority of genuine believers among the anglican communion do not support same sex marriage. By genuine believers i say those who have put their trust in the Lord Jesus for their salvation and have a relationship with Him that they consider important.In addition to that they...

I fear religious leaders too.I know they are only human too and are not exempt from the same sins people struggle with so for me it is hard to open to them.A pastor, priest or vicar can also gossip or commit hieonous sins.

Does anyone have any testimonies about the sacrament of reconciliation. Do you find inner peace or deliverance from sin as a result of going to a confessional? Or is it just a dead ritual?

I personally dont believe in tongue speaking as it is practised by charismatics and pentecostals today. Having said that in my locality i have attended a charismatic mass and it was awesome. I was moved to tears and in total Godly sorrow over my sins. I thank God the catholic charismatics make a...

Watchman Nee fully believed and taught the scriptural, fundamental faith held by all true Christians. He believed in the divine inspiration of the Bible and that the Bible is God's holy Word. He believed that God is triune—Father, Son, and Spirit—distinctly three, yet fully one, co-existing and...

Some peoples conversion experiences take place over a long time. Others have a profound encounter with the Living christ and can remember the day and month or year. The theological terms catholic or protestant does not matter as long as one comes to faith in Christ. Let us stop quibbling about...

You were born from above. John 3 the whole verse. What man needs is not teachings but another life. This is the life of God.

The Lord knows when to repay us. I had a job 6years ago and probably gave beyond ten percent yet still lost the job.2 years later I got a job which paid very much more than the one I lost. Mind you I stayed unemployed for 18 months getting an allowance from my well off mother while I upgraded to...

Pray for my cousin who has no self discipline to take medication for bipolar. She is getting worse.

How do Catholics support the church.? Is tithing mandatory?

In my town i have attended a few charismatic catholic gatherings. It really depends on the parish. In one place the music is lively and i was really moved to tears to see my sinfulness like i had never before. I was also moved to pray less about my financial situation as i received assurance...

Watchman Nee was an exceptional christian. My view is that in non essentials they should be charity. I suspect he comes under so much flak because his ministry was God ordained. The truth often gets maligned. He was heavily influenced by John Nelson Darby and the British brethren as well as...
