    Baptized In The Name Of....

    This has been a weird thing that I have not been able to fully wrap my head around, We are to baptize and be baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit/Ghost. My question is this, what are we to do with baptism by heretics. I brought this to my pastor, who believes that any...

    A New-Old Denomination?

    Valid point, but that is like Jonah abandoning his call to Nineveh because it would eventually be destroyed, but he was the means by which God communicated repentance and salvation to that generation. My vision is actually to form synagogue like structures that will be hubs for the Protestant...

    A New-Old Denomination?

    In the hierarchy of this cross-congressional movement, which I have dubbed, “the Protestant synagogue.” The highest earthly office of President is limited to one three year term, following Christ’s ministry on earth. Just as the potus is termed out after eight years following George Washington’s...

    A New-Old Denomination?

    I like the cut of your jib. I have been called by God, but mostly just to spread seed, another will water, and yet another will reap. I will be dead by that time though. This is why I am convinced, I will not partake of the golden age on earth.

    A New-Old Denomination?

    Sorry for putting words in your mouths. And I hear you and appreciate what you are saying, but I am going to ignore your advice. On the greater scale of things I will not be successful, it will be all for not. Couldn’t your argument be used also against the great commission, ultimately it is...

    A New-Old Denomination?

    To transfer from the Presbyterian to the Baptist sect one must be rebaptized by immersion, but not vice Versa. Yes My goal is to get everyone in one location, not to make every uniform. Sorry I guess I should have clarified what I meant as one fold.

    A New-Old Denomination?

    Is the PCA a biblical church? They have a corporate and congregation government? I was not planning on incorporating RCC into the mix, but if they abandon their apostate ways then sure.

    A New-Old Denomination?

    As I asked @Howdy, how do you know I haven’t been called to do this? I do not know if my intentions are pure, but they are irrelevant, if not at most secondary to my calling. I wonder, given both yours and @Howdy’s reaction, if you both are thinking that I will create some great movement and...

    A New-Old Denomination?

    How do you know I haven’t been called by God to do this? What is your metric? And what exactly are you objecting to? Where does it contradict scripture? And where in scripture does it affirm the status quo of thousands of warring denominations? I was not asking anyone to join me, but rather...

    Can I change my screen name?

    My name is Joseph; I go by Joe but use the screen name Josephus after the Jewish historian. I had meant to write that but wrote Josepus, and now it looks like Jose Puss, lol.

    A New-Old Denomination?

    So, I feel I have been called to consolidate the fraying church back into one fold. I am planning to get multiple ordinations and form a cross-denominational congregation. It is based roughly on the model of the United States, in that there are layers to government and traditions. One Corporate...

    Biblical Polygamy?

    Well to be honest I am a man and have at times considered polygyny, but my motives here seem to align more with B. F. Skinner's fight for behaviorism in psychology. Personally, he did not believe solely in behaviorism, but he felt that if he presented any loose end, that it would be dismissed as...

    Biblical Polygamy?

    Your question presupposes that I have not asked God for the answer, And also, that I cannot find God's answer from the scripture, I believe that most people who have practiced monogamy are going to hell, You are not made right before God by your actions, But by election alone. David practice...

    Biblical Polygamy?

    I think I was asking the members of the faith, their opinions and convictions on the subjects. As I have said, if a bigamist throuple comes to faith and one wife is convicted to stay in the relationship And the other is convicted to leave; they are both valid. These analogies were to illustrate...

    Are the occult, mysticism, demonic possession, curses, or witchcraft real?

    I think this is a great thread to address the nuance of when someone even a believer says, "I study the Occult." They could mean, "I study to be a practitioner of the occult," Or "I study to be familiar with those that practice the occult." (Which is more like what I think the believer should do)

    Biblical Polygamy?

    Can the Spirit convict two Christians to go in opposite direction, I believe so? I feel this is a debate that needs to happen, and I am convicted that I must take the unpopular side, If only to have such points considered. B F Skinner took a hard stance for behaviorism, though he did not fully...

    Biblical Polygamy?

    I am honestly sorry, but I do not understand your point, David's brother would not consider what happened to David punishment is how I first read your post? But after re-reading it I think you are saying that Solomon would not consider the death of his brother as punishment. I have always read...

    Biblical Polygamy?

    So, I have been having problems accessing and posting to the site, has anyone else had similar issues? Here is the best presentation of my argument, in a nutshell, that I can make. God created Adam, it was "not good" for him to be only, so God made Eve, and it was "very good." He commanded...
