The goal should be to fellowship with a group of like mined believers. When you find that group that you feel is doing things and teaching things like what you think is biblical and you have a clear conscience supporting, then support it and grow the Kingdom of God together. What is not...

They can pray, read the bible and start looking. The Holy Spirit will grow them quickly and show them. God is faithful to lead them to a healthy fellowship. And there really are a lot of healthy fellowships for believers to find. They don't have to be perfect to be the genuine local church.

Would putting up a sign in front of a meeting place and calling it "Followers of Christ Meet Here" be any different than a sign that says "New Life Fellowship?" I doubt that it matters to most people. Most people would think you were calling your church "Followers of Christ" as just another...

There are lots of churches that are nondenominational and don't observe traditions or things not supported by NT scripture. They are the majority of new churches now days. Calling them "The Church at XYZ Town" might sound biblical but it can also sound like you are saying we are the only...

Ironically that is what a cooperative voluntary organization like the Assemblies of God does. They are not technically a denomination. They are individual local fellowship of believers just believing what the Bible says and trying to win the lost. By contributing resources together they are...

Real believers are led by the Holy Spirit to meet with others and live the Christian life together while spreading the Gospel. It's what the Holy Spirit tells them to do. They form sufficient organization to get the job done and to help one another like they did in Acts. Many churches...

Yes, there are many scriptures to list and to explain about the laying on of hands. And when you do, many pastors would say that you are going into things that are too deep. They would say this is the meat. But they would be wrong. This is the milk if you want to define something that the...

Not sure what you mean. The reference to them needing milk is in Heb 5. The dialogue continues into 6 where examples of milk are listed, but the examples of the meat continue for several more chapters.

You are defining the prophesy about Daniel being meat. You are probably right about calling these things meat. But sticking to the context of Hebrews as it relates to meat I see that the writer references things like the meaning of the Cheribims over the altar. Heb 9:5The cherubim of glory...

Laying on of hands is milk. But who teaches it at all. And if they do, they think they are teaching the "deep things."

We are in agreement about there being first principles of the oracles of Christ and that they should be a foundation laid first and how one can properly call that milk. However many people will redefine milk as something other than these principles listed. They think those principles are too...

he said "my sorta purple friend". :ROFL:

The problem I have with this common idea is what people are calling the milk. If it is Hebrews 6:1 then fine. I really need an example of what people are saying when they say that a new Christian needs milk. Because too often it seems like they are suggesting that they should be taught...

You said it right the first time. Life. It can be observed in the corporate environments. It is also seen in small towns and governments. Kids start young in the public school systems desiring attention from peers. Even the modern non bully and inclusive efforts are interpreted by the kids...

1 Corinthians is saying that they were carnal because they argued about who their favorite teachers were. They needed to learn about how to love. Hebrews lists the Milk in Heb 6:1. If we taught a series on those things people would say were were teaching meat. But they are milk. Peter...

You need to just calm down and draw me a picture about that. :)

It is not a contradiction. To say my home is in heaven is ok. The New Heavens and the New Earth should not be understood as not "heaven" in the common way we are referring to a spiritual, other worldly, heavenly home. In the way we refer to heaven the New Heavens and the New Earth are a...

For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, It's a biblical concept.

We all have our bucket lists and our goals we think are worth spending time and money on. I plan to complete a PhD in Biblical Studies but I am not in a race. I don't need the degree. I desire the knowledge. I enjoy the journey and the quest. It is how I am wired. It is my hobby. My...

There is value in learning to communicate with excellence in a corporate environment. This is something most will have at least improved during a 4 year liberal arts degree and is probably the main reason many companies require it.
