    What if we ALL prayed like this?

    This is a post from another thread, but what if we all prayed for each other: Baptists for Methodists; Calvinists for Messianics; Catholics for Jehovah's Witnesses...and vice versa, etc...do you believe The Creator would bless such prayer? The enemy can divide us over disagreements over words...

    God is Simple. Did you know that?

    Have you ever heard of Divine Simplicity? No? Here is a lecture I heard years ago by Dr. James Dolezal, he gives a brief overview I would say of what this doctrine teaches us in Scripture about who God is. Please don't respond until you have watched this video.

    I've lost my passion to witness/pray since becoming a Calvinist

    I'm seeking help from Calvinists in particular who can help me understand my loss of passion in evangelism since becoming a Calvinist, not by persuasion, but by studying the Word. I've also lost my passion in prayer. I know I need to do both things because the bible says so, but I no longer...

    Just came out to my parents as Reformed/Trinitarian (they are Oneness Pentecostal)

    I was raised in a Oneness church for the better part of my life and have faithfully attended for the past 15 years. My parents are the pastors there and I have served as the Worship Pastor and Director. I also preach and teach about 3-4x a month there (services are Tuesday [Bible Study], Friday...

    Romans 8:29-30 ~ Am I re-Calvinizing?

    "For those He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. And those He predestined, He also called; and those He called, He also justified, He also glorified." (Taken from the HCSB.) Well, I formally rejected...

    Authority in the Christian Church

    I have spent a lot of time discussing theology with Roman Catholics, since I was born and raised Roman Catholic but have left that faith on account of their doctrine and dogma. Thus, that brings me to a few questions that I have been reflecting on for a while now. During these discussions with...

    Protestant Denominational Differences (I want to hear from YOU!)

    Hello everyone, This is something that has been weighing quite heavily on me of late. I was brought up in the Baptist Church, and have identified as such for my entire time here on Earth. Over the years, I have done modest amounts of research into the other denominations. This delving has been...

    Checking for sound theology

    I am wanting to make a short video (~1-2 minute) with a concise, dense, accurate message of the gospel.I am aware it's possible to mistakenly write things which aren't true, which is why I'm asking this. My memory of specific verses isn't very good so making sure/biblically proving, all of which...

    Six Provocative Questions for "Reformed" Protestants: Evangelicals, Presbysterians, Methodists

    Methodists and Arminians today often do not consider themselves "Reformed". However they formed part of the broader Reformed movement in Holland and England, sharing common differences with Lutheranism and Catholicism. Consequently, they can address the following questions as well. 1. Reformed...

    Glad to be part of the non-denominational Church and not the Traditional

    Recently left the traditional church for a non-denominational church. It is so refreshing to see the emphasis placed on the preaching of God's word and evangelizing to the unsaved in the community. I found the traditional church to get so caught up in their legalistic traditions and ways they...

    Where did Luther or major Lutherans explain how the "Reformed" exaggerate the role of Reason?

    Lutheran Communion I read in several works that Lutherans criticized the Reformed (Calvin and Zwingli) for basing their exegesis too much on modern Reason. One website notes: Calvin's and Zwingli's belief were that since Jesus' body was up in heaven, it could not be in the bread, while...

    Could the Philosophical & Interpretive Approach of Reformed Protestantism lead out of Christianity?

    (1) Does "Reformed" Protestantism (Calvinism, Presbyterianism, Evangelicalism, etc.) have a solid, clear, direct basis in 1st to 3rd century Christian traditions and writings to claim that the Communion food is in itself "only" a symbol* and to reject Jesus' "real" presence in the elements...

    Hi I'm new to Calvinist theology and really finding myself agreeing with the likes of dr James White and others, I am currently part of an evangelical Church in the uk and the subject of pilgrimage came up, what is the agreed stance on this within Calvinism? Whilst it was being talked of I found...

    (moved) Can the Philosophical Approach of "Reformed" Protestantism lead out of Christianity?

    Hello! I have three questions: (1) Does "Reformed" Protestantism (Calvinism, Presbyterians, Evangelicals, etc.) have a real, direct basis in early Christian traditions and writings to claim that the Communion bread is "only" a symbol and to reject the Lutheran Protestant and Catholic beliefs in...
