    Prosperity Gospel

    The prosperity gospel is wrong. Jesus instructs us to pick up our crosses daily, not make bank. How many people could the mega rich feed and put through school if they didn’t have private jets and yachts? But instead there are Christians who pursue wealth for for their entire lives, and it’s a...

    Novice Preachers

    I have noticed that Baptist and Reformed churches will let children give a Bible lecture at the front of the church during services. I have friends who go to churches that hold the same practices. I don't see a problem with encouraging children to explain passages of the Bible or Christian...

    Hello

    I'm David and I am 61 years old. I have been a born-again Christian for 40 years. I am not of any particular denomination but if I had to choose one it would be the Baptist movement. I have attended a Methodist church for 8.5 years, a Pentecostal church for about 2 years, and a Baptist church...

    Modest communities - Europe

    Hello, I wanted to ask christian communities that only wear modest clothing (no thight clothes, skirts only). I know that Nazarenes, Jehovah’s witnesses, some independent Baptists, Mennonites, Amish, Apostolic pentecostals and Branham’s (end-time message) believers wear skirts only. Are there...

    Active Faith

    With this life of modern technology and so much information processing every day, it seems easier than ever to be more focused on material and earthly idols instead of God. As a Baptist, what are some things you do to keep yourself from getting distracted from God?

    Methodist and Baptist - Advice Requested

    Hi all, I am a christened and raised Methodist Christian, attending a Methodist church for the first ten or so years of my life - however, due to my parents' non-believing, and several other issues, it has taken me almost eight years to rediscover God, scripture, and the Bible. My boyfriend is...

    How can you financially support a church whose finances are in a secret black box?

    I was raised Southern Baptist, where an annual 'Business Meeting' was held once a year or so to print up a budget to be voted on by formal church members who felt like showing up on a Wednesday night. Deacons (and budget committee members when there was such a committee assigned), decided what...

    Hello, I'm Renee, I'm 20, and I use she/her pronouns. I recently found this forum and decided to join to possibly find other people with similar beliefs. I was raised baptist from the time I was born up until I was 18 and moved out. I struggled with my faith a decent amount because the church I...

    Video games, music, and TV vs. Christ

    Hi! I'm Matthew Safley, I was a narcoleptic, which is incurable, and I was cured on night at Christian Faith Center. Now, since I have entered the faith, and have given my life to Christ, I have questioned some of the teachings there, but I do feel that the Holy Spirit is found there...

    Hi! New Here!

    Hi, my name is Remi. I’m new here on the platform. I’ve been a Christian since I was about 12 years old. I came to Christ at a young age, because I was going through some really rough years. Mainly, battling with depression. I’m diving more and more into God as time passes and I’ve been looking...

    How To Get My Old Church To Stop Contacting Me

    I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, but I have nowhere else to put this. The Baptist church I more or less grew up in got a new pastor and within a matter of weeks went the way of the prosperity gospel megachurch. My family left last summer. My parents and sister started attending a...

    The Big Question

    Before I ask The Big Question, that anyone from the Abrahamic faiths can answer, I will be as transparent about myself and my efforts as possible. Born and raised in the USA to a military family that was half Baptist and half Catholic I was always hearing from one side the other was going to...

    On Versions of the Bible

    Hello all. Recently I have become interested in studying different versions of the Bible. My Family and I normally have read the King James Version, and occasionally we have looked at the NIV, but I would like to extend my studies to learn the most about God's Word as possible. So I would like...
