No matter.. I found the answer in their bylaws.

Who actually grants ordination in the PCA/PCUSA/EPC/ etc.? Is ministerial ordination (elder) granted by the local church or by the national organization? If it is granted by the local church (or local presbytery), what is the function of the main presbytery? Thanks!

My God.. I have left CF for a few years and come back to find Terral the next Joseph Smith. All the denominations are wrong and we simply lack the understanding you do.. maybe next you will tell us you prayed to God on what church to join and he told you that all of them were tools of Satan...

amen.

I think we may disagree a lot more than what I thought! Since I seem to be very good at asking questions, let me ask just one more. Would you agree with the statement below? We worship one God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Isaiah 44:6-8; Exodus 3:15). God is three divine persons...

haha:) I think I could say the same for you..Catholic?

Sounds like you are a very busy person!! Who have you been reading for hermeneutics? My life has also been busy. I got divorced about 1 1/2 years ago, and remarried in November, 2008. My family grew from one son, to three sons and two daughters! We have that in common, big families! I moved from...

What if its 999 years? Or 1001? Do you believe that it will be exactly 1000 years?

I would be interested in hearing your view of election as well! When my view was more inline with yours, that is a dispensational view (which i consider a valid theological position, though i may disagree with it) I still considered my view of election and grace as being in the reformed camp. I...

HI Benefactor, I will be able to respond this evening, I just wanted you to know how nice it is to be able to discuss a topic with someone without all the name calling:wave: Kudos to you!

When did you attend LWCC? I was on staff from 2003-2007.

OH man... Here I am at work and getting the itch to write back! ;) This will have to wait until I get home. I expected nothing less Terral!

Hi Iafic! I never meant to come off that one should run away from Jim! Jim is a great man and has done much for the church. The first Pentecostal/WOF church I ever atteneded was in SW Minnesota called Living Word Church..much smaller of course than LWCC in Brooklyn Park:)

Wrong. Baptism was a form of ritual washing that is often found in the Old Testament. The majority of the baptisms that are found in the New Testament are directly pointed back to Old Testament events. The New Testament doctrine of baptism was solidly built upon its historical background which...

Amen brother.

I suppose the Trinity does not exist because it is not so easily laid out in the Old Testament?:P Without spending a lot of time before I need to hit the sack, to say that grace is rarely (you imply this by stating that the term itself is not found often) found in the OT is a bit off. Did the...

Did Moses die in his sins? Did Enoch? King David? You are saved because God choose you before the foundation of the world.. but was everyone else before His death an after thought? Are they going to hell? The only way any man will not die in his sins is if he is found in Christ Jesus.

Where does Jesus say that a "church" did not exist in the Old Testament? First off, the church is a community of all believers for ALL TIME. Let me start first with a question. Who did Christ die for? Did he die only for those who were saved after his death? Did he die only for those...

Come now! A Dispensational Amillennialist?!? I don't think those words work in the same sentence:) I believe Tractor's theology is a modified version of Mid-Acts (Pauline) Dispensationalism

How has life been going? The last time I remember, you were a traditional Acts 2 premillennialist, and a grad from DTS. If my memory is right:)
