I think Randy White is Paula White's ex husband. So, apparently you know him. You know, the woman who was married 3 different times. Personally, I have issues with charismatics who have multiple marriages too. That gives me some idea of their trustworthiness. A Christian is supposed to...

Praying for anyone with a health issue is fine. See, the dilemma is that I have to rely on second hand accounts by people I don't trust. If someone I trust tells me something like this, I am more apt to believe it. Unfortunately, the charismatic/Pentecostal world is full of people I don't...

The issue is that too many young Christians think they are capable of correcting older me in terms of the gospel...I don't have an issue with bright younger men teaching after a lot of instruction but too many young believer do think they are called to correct older men in their theology. It is...

Another big issue with the claims concerning healings is that I don't know many who were healed completely from a devastating condition such as loss of a limb, blindness, profound deafness, etcetera. In "healings" resulting from those claiming to have the gift of healing, they were primarily...

For a second there I was worried because I thought you approved of the video :D I only made it through about 1 minute.

Charismatics often misrepresent cessationism. Let me give you an example. Some charismatics will claim that a particular pastor "doesn't believe in the Gifts" or believes that the Trinity is the "Father, Son and the Bible". I personally know a great pastor who was accused of the latter. He...

Or, maybe he already watched it in the past and didn't see your post prior to re-posting it. I rarely look at the posts of others prior to posting myself. I wouldn't accuse others without thinking it out.

Scripture is clear in teaching that believers have eternal security. It is also clear in teaching that those who are saved depart from evil (2 Timothy 2:19). Believers may experience long periods of spiritual fruitlessness, but they will never fall away from the faith completely and finally...

ASSURANCE OF SALVATION Some believers struggle with a lack of assurance of salvation. Reasons for this lack of assurance include spiritual immaturity and poor teaching. Some teachers and pastors believe that a Christian can lose their salvation, which is untrue and harmful to the growth of a...

I don't know about the "mocking God" part..we would have to discuss that, but as far as getting involved in long-term sin, and returning back to God, yes, that is possible. And, I think Satan wants us to believe it is not, in order to cause us to continue in our misery longer. He especially...

Those who claim that drinking any alcohol is forbidden have real issues, because Jesus undoubtedly drank alcohol. Same thing with eating meat. Jesus ate the Passover lamb as an observant Jew. And he ate fish. That's one reason why I have real issues with Seventh Day Adventists. They claim...

The lack of creeds, confessions, and catechisms has led to a bunch of autonomous men with peculiar interpretations of Scripture, in utter disregard to the communal nature of the church and the believers which have come before us. This leaves room for loons like Herbert Armstrong, Ellen G...

By the way, aren't you the one who claims that man becomes God in the resurrection, in the same sense as the Father and the Son? Forgive me if I am wrong, but this is an abominable teaching. I used to believe it, as an Armstrongite, but utterly reject it now. It is a blasphemous claim. So, I...

It could be that many have. Finney himself affirmed the Westminster Confession and admitted later he didn't even read it. That gave him preaching credentials, and access to Reformed believers..then he taught his Pelagian views under their auspices.

Some SBC congregations are Reformed but many have left the SBC due to various teachings including the "social justice" agenda. I visited a church like that near me..and I would likely attend their services regular but they are 42 miles from me. Love the pastor's teaching and general attitude...

It's a good question. My understanding is that this statement came from the confession the Southern Baptists have adopted, if I remember right. However, it's wording is very similar to the Westminster Confession or the London Baptist Confession. Yet, some Southern Baptists follow Leighton...

I would agree with it, if you are asking me. Perhaps you don't think that this line reflects Reformed theology but it does : It is consistent with the free agency of man, and comprehends all the means in connection with the end It is basically talking about the concept of compatibilism...

Yeah, by the way I don't say that anyone should believe every single line of creeds, confessions, and catechisms. Usually these documents have Scriptural proofs, and the person should review the Scriptures to see if they are correct on a particular issue. I find that the above creeds...

I think you need to be aware that my association with Adventist-type theology is more than simple observance. I am a former Armstrongite. His theology came largely from Adventists. And, I will note to others that the above words are the typical metanarrative of virtually all Restorationist...

Christianity in some circles has been reduced to vacuous emotionalism, featuring disorderly antics like flopping on the floor, blabbering in fake tongues, and strutting about claiming to be apostles and prophets. Other groups have vapid, children-church level teaching, instead of deep, meaty...
