Do not leave a church unless God has freed you to do so. The will of God is more important that comfort. With the sketchy info you gave us, it is very difficult to render a judgment that would accurately counsel you. Do not leave because of strife, Satan WANTS to cause strife to cause...

Dear Louisbooth: I fully agree with your statement that tongues/prophecy/interpetation must be done decently and in order. Order and restraint so that EDIFICATION may have its full effect, and so that God may receive all Glory is paramount to operation of the gifts which we have of God...

Dear Quaffer: Ill take all the blessings I can get. Whether it be here or anywhere. I appreciate your kindness toward me. Josiah

"When the scriptures are silent on matters regarding pattern and conduct we are allowed liberty. " I'd rather error on the side of caution and flee sin then let it go and sin. Sorry. In Christ we have liberty, let me make some examples of my thinking so as to clarify to all that liberty...

well said quaffer Josiah

Dear andrew: I would have to take each one seperately as you would, so as to be just and fair with each opinion. I hold the faith/confession movement to have a great baby, which is the answer to many of the ill of the world. But the bath water which surrounds that baby, (those things...

Just a quick note on biblical orthodoxy. When the scriptures are silent on matters regarding pattern and conduct we are allowed liberty. When the scriptures are silent on governments and administrations we are allowed liberty. The WHOLE of Christs kingdom is the LEADING OF THE HOLY...

When I have heard of those speak in tongues or give prophecies to the church, it isnt the issue with me whether or not its ok, the scriputures are very clear on it. Ive seen,(heard) many different administrations of tongue, prophecies, interpetations, but the REAL point to SPEAKING ANYTHING...

Sanctification is Gods holiness imparted to us by reason of Gods own presence in our lives. As we abide in the vine ( Christ) we partake of the nurishing and blessed empowering of Christ. Holiness is one of Gods communicable attributes. It is a wonderful and glorious thing to know that Christ...

The faith/confession movement can be persecuted just like any other believer who professes any other faith in Christ. The faith confession movement can persecute those who disagree with them as well. If We think that slapping each other with scripture texts is "love of Christ" we may...

God on the seventh day rested from his work. He hallowed the day and made it holy. The lesson for us in the very beginning of Gods creation was this simple lesson. "What God seperates and declares Holy he himself sanctifies." Christ did so with a "day" That day is Holy in that He declared it...

The seventh day sabbath. It is a wonderful gift of God to rest on Gods appointed day of rest. It is wonderful to rest in the person whom God made a rest for the believer. It is wonderful to realize the rest of God is an act of faith whether one believes in Christ or the law. The New...

The extremes of any teaching always lead to error. For the consideration of some here I will answer in a brief statement or two. Ive been around faith movement folks for some time. I do adhere to some basic tenets of the faith movement but only because of the overlap of biblical teachings...

The whole world runs counter to the Christian. He must walk against the crowds on his way to heaven. He must swim against current of cultural flows. He must climb up to see Gods will rather than descend to philosophical jargon. The Christian always looks another way, it cannot be but he is a...

When Jesus Christ is seemingly lost in a fog, confusion, doubts and questions all pick at the mind. One of the greatest attributes of our lord Jesus is his lovingkindness. Everyday they are new: When we face the circumstances of trials and temptations and feel quite overcome with...
