    Baptism in the Spirit and Infilling of the Spirit

    Being "filled" with the Holy Spirit and being "empowered" by the Holy Spirit are two different and distinct things. When you believe and are baptised into Christ you are "filled" with the Holy Spirit - this is a one time continual thing that happened at one distinct point in history -...

    Are the Father and God Diffearnt/Seperate/Same?

    Sam - I'll email you later and we can talk that way if you'd prefer on this. You are correct - it is a bit of an inflamed issue with certain people. I'm not trying to put you off of what you've already learned, but I think that it is best if we are diligent in our learning and discerning in...

    Okay, what is so terribly wrong with ecumenism?

    Hmmm - I for one don't hold to this viewpoint and I consider myself a reformationist. Reformation in getting back to the original 1st century church in the sense that they didn't teach different denominations. They didn't believe in the division of the church but in the church with it's...

    Okay, what is so terribly wrong with ecumenism?

    I hope no one minds me jumping in on this thread. I'm not of the Catholic Faith however I am a Christian. I believe that after the resurrection, when the New Heaven and New Earth has been established and God dwells among His people we are going to be in for a few surprises. We're going to...

    Are the Father and God Diffearnt/Seperate/Same?

    Wave - "Christianity In Crisis" is a book written by Hank Hanagraaff. He's also written a few other books as well - "Counterfeit Revival", "Resurrection", and "F.A.C.E. the Farce Behind..." not sure what the complete title is to that one. I've only read "Resurrection", but if he's other...

    Are the Father and God Diffearnt/Seperate/Same?

    Wave - concerning your lastest post to me - I'll reply perhaps tomorrow. After spending almost 14 hours in front of the computer today - I've neither the energy nor the coherency to reply in any sort of manner. I'll leave you with this - I believe that there is some fallacy in your logic...

    Is all the Bible scripture?

    you still didn't answer my question. must you always attempt to talk in riddles? for someone who claims to be part of the only true church, you don't seem to have the love of Christ in wanting to help his fellow man. want to attempt to answer my question again? and this seriously...

    What are your thoughts on Homosexuality?

    Simple - hate the sin, love the sinner. After all, isn't that what Christ demonstrated to us? In discussing how you were hurt by your fathers seemingly conditional love, do not hold this against him too much. Remember that our love is not perfect like our Heavenly Fathers Love is towards...

    Are the Father and God Diffearnt/Seperate/Same?

    Just another quick note about listening to those in our midst (congregation/friends/laypersons/evangelists). It is our responsibility (with the help of the Holy Spirit of course) to check what is said against scripture. Because someone who is in a position of authority says something is a...

    Are the Father and God Diffearnt/Seperate/Same?

    Really the only sound advice that I can give you when it comes to someone like Benny Hinn is the following - is what he says line up with what scripture tells us is true. If what he says does not, but he claims that it does - that makes him either a false prophet or misguided. Those who are...

    Are the Father and God Diffearnt/Seperate/Same?

    I'll have to agree with Louis (not something I've done too much of in the past) about Benny Hinn. He's pretty wack!!! He's quoted as saying that Jesus was going to manifest physically on stage with him while he was over in Africa doing a crusade and that he was going to bring back footage of...

    Authorised King James Version

    ed - as for me, there will be no more answering any of your silly, contrived questions. you want to do all the asking and none of the answering. until this becomes a 2-way conversation, just post and reply to yourself if you don't mind. you're wasting valuable internet space and i'm sure...
