    Controlling the Christian Narrative

    It will be nothing compared to when the radical left attempts to declare the gospel to be hate speech and those who confess Christ to be domestic terrorists. It is coming.

    Kenneth Copeland says the reformation is over

    I have not listened to Copeland in years. Sometimes I think we get a little overdramatic in our quest for doctrinal purity. I might invoke the "cast the first stone" principle. Everyone reading this has wrong doctrine to one degree or another including me. A little grace is in order, I think...

    Discussion Are there any prophets/prophetesses in the body of Christ currently?

    Ephesians states that the ministry gifts will continue until the body is perfected. We are not there yet. So I would have to say yes... they continue. Ephesians 4:11-16 KJV 11. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12. For the...

    Faith-Trials (Jas 1:3)

    Thanks for your thread! Blessed be His name! I think the message of Hebrews 11 is that we must have faith to please Him. We must believe His is. We must believe that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. I have found that I do not win every faith struggle. But I know the sucess is...

    O Come, O Come, Emanuel!

    Help

    Relax in Him. Depend on HIS faithfulness not your own. Any faith we may exercise essentially is an offshoot of His. He wants you to be comfortable around Him. You will never achieve the perfection that wins that comfortableness. You can only receive it by the knowledge that He has forgiven you...

    The Religious Origin of Science

    I think science started the first time a human asked a question.

    I don't know what to do

    Bless the Lord oh my soul who forgives ALL my inequities... You think some sin you committed is more powerful than the blood, death, and resurrection of Jesus? You need to believe what he said. He said HE is FAITHFUL to forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. He said HE is JUST to...

    Discerning your call

    Each calling has certain of the gifts associated with it. For instance, Paul said his ministry has certain signs that followed it: 2 Corinthians 12:12 KJV 12. Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. A prophet will have...

    Why Does God Allow Me To Suffer?

    I think the question needs to change. You are asking a question in the context that God controls everything and therefore everything that happens is either: a direct result of His will being implemented in our lives, or Him permitting something at the behest of another (i.e., Satan). Let me...

    Do cessationists perform exorcisms?

    I have known Baptists and others who think the gifts have been phased out who do believe and practice casting out devils in Jesus' name. Some also lay on hands for healing... not as a manifestation of the gifts of healing, rather as healing in faith.

    The Danger of Pre-Tribulation Rapture Doctrine

    For the first 8 or so years of my Christian walk I believed in the pre-trib resurrection. I read "The Late Great Planet Earth," Dakes commentary, Larkin, and others. I believed it mainly because I was young and not knowledgeable about what the Word actually said. Around 1978 the Lord began to...

    The Danger of Pre-Tribulation Rapture Doctrine

    Let no man deceive you. If you willingly believe what He tells you NOT to believe you are in rebellion and need to repent. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 KJV 1. Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2. That ye be not soon shaken...

    Trying to convert, trying to believe, trying to find God, but still nothing ...

    Your faith is based on His faithfulness to you and His word. Rely on Him. Stop trying so hard. He's got you. "Throw down you weapons and let Me show you what I can do."

    How to decide between visiting a doctor or praying for healing?

    The Lord has said to me that it is our job to believe. Ask and believe you have received. What happens after that is His business. You just do your part and believe regardless of what happens. If you go to the doctor, do it believing you have received. If you die, die believing. You will die...

    Are there spirit-filled Christians in non-Trinitarian churches?

    I know believers who believe in the Father and Son and Holy Ghost, yet refuse to be forced into using the terms like "Trinity" and "rapture" simply because the terms are not in scripture. They pretty much believe the same as most believers do... minus the extra Biblical terminology.

    Our Words

    We know that Jesus had the God kind of faith. He believed that the things He said came to pass. He called those things that be not as though they were. Yet when he called the Pharisees vipers they did not turn into vipers. So, I think there is more to it than just that.
