The church definitely has spiritual authority when it follows Christ. If it does not follow Christ, it does not have spiritual authority. When Jews follow Christ, they become a part of the church, and thus are a part of that "spiritual authority." Israel has always been a nation of people, and...

Romans 11: 11I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 12Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how...

A lot of these kind of controversies are resolved quite easily by simply taking at face value verses such as John 3:36: He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

The thief on the cross simply believed - and then he openly testified of his faith by his words: no water baptism, no statement of theology: he just had good old fashioned grace from God that resulted in a deep faith that openly testified (worked)!

Then there are those who don't begin with man's theology and just read, believe, and live out the Word of God.

Your thread seems to be asking about "Once saved always saved." Just forget all the Calvinism and Arminian theologies. The person who has faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement is saved. The person who does not have faith is not saved. That is what the Bible tells us.

Something is not going right here . . . If you truly repented you would not be just keeping on sinning and sinning. I Johne 3:9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.

Amen! This is the best post here on this issue. I could not have said it better. It is absolutely great to be careful at how we present and use the Word of God. But how you post Scripture is not a moral issue. We don't need a list of rules of how to post on this forum. If you don't like...

I agree with what you said above. But that is not at all what the speakers in the video are promoting.

The cross and the atonement made available to all redemption through Jesus Christ. One's sins are forgiven when one believes in and grabs hold of that atonement - Jesus Christ. The wages of sin is death - and each and every sin must be paid for. Jesus paid the price and the Father will...

To the poster of this video: Do you believe and promote the content of this video?

This video is absolute heresy. It says salvation is advancing your humanity. You don't need to be born again. you just need to grow up and accept your responsibility. Hell is an invention of the church.

thanks Penned for posting the video - excellent informative watch

Jesus often said, "Come and follow me." But I think being a part of a Bible believing church that together worships God, and fellowships with one another is much needed.

This I like! Being a part of a different kingdom with a view much larger than just this world!

The church I pastor would use the lot in certain situations to ordain a leader/minister. We would typically take a vote of members when we need to ordain a minister. If there is a clear nominee from these votes that person will be ordained. If there are two or more people with identical or...

Yes, indeed. One thing that I often limit God in is thinking that He cannot help me live completely above the power of sin today! Can He? YES

The real issue is not the Bible being removed from public schools: if our country is to have freedom of religion, then our public institutions should not promote one religion over another. The public spaces/institutions should not promote religion, but neither should they keep students/people...

Is there Scripture that says this? Or is this a man-made doctrine based on someone's interpretation of Scripture?
