I can see insurmountable problems ahead for CF. The owner, Erwin, while trying to open up the discussion boards, has instead driven a stake through the heart of this forum. Too bad. But, it is his forum, and he can do what he wants with it. Of course we can do the same, so I have just joined...

Huh? Then what does this mean? Matthew 16:27 "For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works." Sure sounds like more works for God by believers results in more rewards for the Christian who is Glorifying God...

Congratulations, Biblelife, on both your success as a business person and your faith in Christ Jesus. I have often heard that life is generally tough in the Ukraine, and tougher for Christians. It is wonderful to hear that our Christ is alive and well in the hearts of you and your fellow...

Scripture tells us that some will gain incredibly glorious rewards in Heaven for good things true Christians do here on earth for the glory of God. Oh, and Scripture also tells us there will be "degrees" of torment in hell, too, with some being tormented a lot more than others. Hummm... I...

Anytime that any person says that a truly saved person can lose his salvation, they are logically implying that the Holy Spirit of God made a mistake. To be truly saved a person must be indwelled with the Holy Spirit. Therefore, for that person to then lose his salvation, it would be necessary...

Hey, here is a thought that might just upset a few people. Could it be possible that female Christians will be given male bodies in Heaven? After all, why would there be any need for females in Heaven? Procreation? Not in Heaven. And, as has already been stated, every reference to angels is...

There are any number of things you can do together. For instance, pick a verse from Scripture (such as John 3:16) and disect it to see what it really means. Or, you can pick one of God's blessed persons (i.e., David as boy or king, Samson, Solomon, etc) and show how they did good, and how...

I do not want to hijack this thread, but I believe you would agree that the "baptism" that counts is Spirit Baptism by the indwelling of the Holy Ghost in all believers. And your post that I have quoted seems to at least imply that God can make a mistake and enter into a person who believes...

Funny, but I do not remember about Jerusalem sitting on "SEVEN MOUNTAINS"? In fact, there is only one major city that sits on "SEVEN MOUNTAINS". Hummmm..... People have become very adept at denying the truth of God in favor of their own beliefs. I can only wonder what God will think about...

Hummm... Well, can you see Jesus? You claim that you believe in Him, so why can't you see Him? You see, there is a basic problem that few people who want to be Christians will face. There are a lot of people who will tell you they are Christians. Their reasoning might be that "they go to...

Welcome, and feel right at home... Matthan

Question 1 = Yes Question 2 = Yes and No It depends on what "baptism" you are actually talking about. If you are referring to spiritual baptism by the Holy Spirit, then my answer is yes. But, if you are talking about water baptism, then the answer is no. It is nothing more than our...

Are you serious? Please tell me you are joking, right?

I will try to respond to your question. I am not a pastor, but only a fellow Christian and fellow sinner. First of all, you have to understand several things. First, Jesus does not expect us to be perfect. We are all sinners, and we will all sin. Some of us may hide it very carefully, but...

You are definitely on the right track. Just a few comments. First, your "religion" is Christianity, and your denomination or sect is whatever you describe. And Jesus told us Himself that His burden on us is light. Paul emphasizes that fact when he tells us about the simplicity that is Christ...

Look around. It isn't just England, but Europe in general. Socialism, currently in the form of an increasing liberal agenda but soon to expand to every corner of socio-economic life, is beginning to sweep across much of the world. And the same agenda can be seen in the U.S. by anyone astute...

I tend to agree with RainbowPromises. Splitting the Baptist Forum would be like splitting hairs - it can be done but why do it? The diversity we currently enjoy as Baptists might be washed away in a never ending stream of "dittos". Just my humble opinion, for what it is worth... Matthan

I have not responded to your "red herring" question with good reason. It has nothing to do with the OP of this thread. Why have not any of you responded directly to the OP? Most of you have, for the most part, ignored the specific points I raised and instead simply attacked me. Does the RCC...

You defend what is scripturally indefensible. You claim that making the Tenth Commandment, which reads, "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's"...

They HID the Second Commandment, and they ADDED their own Ninth Commandment. If you feel this action is acceptable to God, then you are one of those I referred to in my post as one who blindly believes your church while ignoring God's real Truth. And by your post you proved everything I...
