Well I want to at least start a private bible study that's for people who don't mind it. But specifically people open to debate and aren't dead set into a certain set of beliefs
To graceandpeace: I have considered just "settling" for a Baptist church but there are so many differences I have with them still. I am amillenialist unlike John Macarthur who is dispensational and even RC Sproul now believes in preterism.Especially in my area, I already know they aren't amillenialist. Most believe in the pretrib rapture. Why not start another church? We need churches to prepare people and I'm sure I could attract at least 20 people who agree with me.
It would basically be Lutheran with some emphasized doctrines. I'm not happy that my Lutheran church only preaches from the New testament though, and it's always grace grace grace.... I need to learn the Old testament too.
I think sermons are too short (only 30 min). I think they should be 3 hours. You know in persecuted Asian countries, there is no time limit on preaching, it goes on for like 8 hours from what I've read. I really see some dark times ahead for this country and so many people who are still too comfortable and just want to hear grace.
I think framing it as 'which denomination fits my views' it should be 1) where does God want me regardless of my views, and 2) which is true regardless of my views. We should be willing to grow in our views if we need to. Not just seek affirmation of our views of the moment.hey I'm back, thanks for answering my questions from all these years. My views constantly change LOL . thanks for bearing with me , I am extremely close right now to ACNA Anglicanism. for me this is really big as I havent gone in years
Do you have a local ECO
ECO | A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians
Thanks. I was trying to work out the acronym, which would have been pointless I now find out from the website:
"The name ECO is not an acronym. It reinforces our passion for strengthening the ecosystems of local churches..."
I dislike acronyms but I don't think non-descript branding is any better.
