I'm not big fan of Ann Coulter mainly because she has stated that she believes in forced conversions to Christianity and the spread of Christianity through violence, which, if I understand the New Testament correctly, is in fact antichrist.

I think there is some leeway on this issue. I've never really disagreed on a fundamental doctrine of a church I've attended (three moves in the last 22 years), and I wouldn't feel comfortable doing so. On the other hand, if you are in a context where there is very little choice (say, in Ethiopia...

Habakkuk 1:5 Look among the nations! Observe! Be astonished! Wonder! Because I am doing something in your days-- You would not believe if you were told.

I became Reformed when I was in a Bible college. I actually began to read the Word and found that what I was reading did not match exactly with what I was being taught in class and in church. As time progressed I found that their methods for interpreting Revelation and other prophechy simply...

Here is a link to the denomination am I a member of explaining their convictions and constitution: http://www.rpcna.org/conv_beliefs.html

You have to understand the situation that America is one of the most introverted (thus, the most monolingual) nations on the planet. They apply political models that have come about over 100 years as an industrialized society across the entire planet. So, many Americans believe that any person...

I'm glad to have a mother that always took care of me despite the fact that my father left us. I'm glad to have the chance to go to a nice university and have all the opportunities that my education will some day bring. I'm very thankful for my fiancée, who is a very loving and godly woman. I'm...

This is the sixth page, and I'm probably beating a dead horse. Nonetheless, I'll say a bit on the subject. I think the question of evangelism within the Reformed context is derived from a basic misunderstanding of Reformed view of God's sovereignty. I, like many people here, used to be a...

We don't see it as unimportant. The fact is that most amillenialists believe when the Scriptures talk about Israel and Jews (Romans 2:28,29 - no inwardly and outwardly) it is referring to the people of God, the Body of Christ, the Holy Nation and Royal Priesthood. We don't find the Holy Bible...

I go to a Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America (RPCNA) church. Great teaching, good theology, and loving people. It's a conservative (Biblically-speaking, not the American definition of "conservative" or "liberal") fellowship of churches.

I spent some time in a Dispensationalist Bible institution. I arrived there fully as a Dispensationalist, but as the time passed I slowly began to distance myself from that theology. I didn't mind my time there, but it just wasn't a pleasant experience. I was later called "disrespectful" for the...

Jesus does not reign over His kingdom on earth now?

As some of you might know, the Taiping Rebellion (1851-1864) was one of the deadliest wars in history (probably second) with 20-40 million dead. It was certainly the deadliest civil war. It was founded by two Christian converts. The leader, Hong Xiuquan, was brilliant, but he also suffered a...

Are we talking about party politics or self defense here? All I've seen is an attempt of harlotry to use the Bible for political purposes. It's hard to take part in such a discussion.

Oh, I'm very sorry about that. I am personally Reformed and don't know a great deal about the Orthodox faith. I had simply been misled by another in that regard and did not read the entire article (couldn't comprehend a lot of it). Edit: Corrected it as best I could.

I want to start by correcting some of this information. Indonesia has a population closer to 250 million now. Also, the Orthodox church is spreading rapidly in Indonesia now. I have contacts with this man personally, and I've heard from a childhood friend of his (who is a Charismatic as referred...

Today is the day when, in the world's largest Muslim nation, over 100 million Indonesians on 14,000 islands will vote for their next president; either Megawati or SBY. Let's pray that the candidate best suited for the Gospel spreading in that nation will be elected. We can thank God that...

RPCNA - Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America

It's weird. If people rewrote the history of the Puritans regarding socialism I'm trying to ask my friends from the hold New England descendants of Puritan communities why their families are socialistic. Guess that developed in the 1800s or something.
