How about, “Church buildings are not the ‘house of God’.”

I see church as the body of Christ or fellowship groups and not the building. I actually consider house fellowship the true form of gathering and not in a building that people call a church. The church is God's people.

THAT is OFTEN TAUGHT.
In churches and posted in the forum.

I can't find one here in Melbourne. I've been excommunicated from a few babylon churches for even floating it though. Lovingly showed the door lol.

Maybe you know of one hereabouts, Jeff? Help me out here.

Deciding what is an important doctrine appears to be a matter of denominational emphasis rather than objective truth or biblical content.

Ask a Seventh Day Adventist if Saturday Sabbath is important, a Presbyterian if Predestination is important, a Catholic if baptism is important and why. Each will have a different perspective despite what you or I may think is important or biblical.

I am sure for those who are into being for one particular denomination will do so, but I am asking those who are truly seeking to follow the Lord Jesus objectively without them holding on to any denominational baggage.

I don't know that I have ever heard Hell preached on, as a place where a Christian might wind up if he or she is not careful. I've heard folks on TV, radio, and YouTube preach about it, but not in real life yet.
Sister.....You are definitely in the WRONG church !!

Most places today (even through the ages ) preach an Easter bunny type blasphemous rubbish..Gods way..
acts 2v37...Men [and] brethren, what shall we do?

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent,(babys cant !!) and be baptized every one of you (greek word = dip immerse etc symbol of burial) in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Ro 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

how do you know when you get it right...Jesus said...

mark 16v15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

this is how you know a TRUE believer..!

or make excuses why you dont obey him and keep with your heart lungs and kidneys etc to the Lord or sign a card or just make a decision ,by faith or grace..etc etc..its a package deal all or nothing ..so you can do it HIS WAY (for salvation) or your own ideas (death)...

Lu 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

I don't know of any denomination which holds universalism as its official position, but I know plenty where it wouldn't be a problem to be a member and privately hold to universalism.

Melbourne, you say? If you PM me whereabouts in Melbourne I might be able to make some useful suggestions.

Well, I consider mine to be that, but I realise that it may not be the right fit for the PP. Hence the offer to discuss with him over PM, since we're in the same city and I might be able to help him find somewhere appropriate for him. Growing in Christ is a process, and I don't need someone to have reached a particular point of maturity to be willing to help him.

Do you up hold the Holy Bible as being God's infallible word ? Do you base your belief about your church from the Bible, man-made dogma or just your opinion ?

I believe that Scripture contains all things necessary to salvation; I don't hold to it being inerrant in every matter (it is not a science or history textbook).

That said, I have been involved in my denomination for somewhat more than twenty years now; my view of it is formed by Scripture, by my training in theology, and by my own personal experience.

Which has nothing to do with being willing to help the PP find a church which is appropriate for him.

Thank you Paidiske. I'd still like to hear from Jeff though, sounds like he keeps an extensive blacklist.

I know there isn’t perfection in this life
Perfection in the Bible means to be whole, compeat & mature. It means to produce fruit. If a tree does not produce fruit (worth of repentance) then the tree or branches are cut down and thrown into the fire. We plant seeds, we hope they sprout, take root and grow. (Love - Joy - Peace - Patience - Kindness - Goodness - Faithfulness - Gentleness & Self Control)
