    Is personal prophecy scriptural?

    Scriptural doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness come from the authority of Scripture alone; not from some extra-biblical "revelation" some crackpot claims is "specifically for you". That has no authority.

    Is personal prophecy scriptural?

    If what they're saying isn't already in the Bible in black & white - reject it as mere opinion. This Bible alone is God's word and is sufficient. Notice the absolute terms: All scripture is given ... that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Tim 3:16-17...

    Is faith WITHOUT works dead to GOD or Is faith WITHOUT works dead to man?

    The salvation in view there isn't eternal salvation from hell; the readers are already saved and eternally secure. It's salvation from receiving (temporal) judgment without mercy.

    One of the murderers of Tylee & JJ found guilty on all charges Friday

    They wouldn't allow Lori's trial to be video recorded, but Nate Eaton at East Idaho News gave 40 - 60 minute evening updates every day and played a few audio highlights of the trial. You can also listen to all the trial audio at YouTube.

    I was elected to take out the trash. :-)

    How to love your family, when God hates the nonelects?

    No, you don't. It aint over till it's over. Sometimes people reject the gospel, then later repent and accept it. Ever hear of Saul of Tarsus?

    One of the murderers of Tylee & JJ found guilty on all charges Friday

    Yeah, what drew me in was a police interview of Melanie Gibb (Lori's former friend) from about a year and a half ago on YouTube. She was describing some really weird religious stuff. By the end of the interview, I was intrigued and have followed the case ever since. It has a lot of characters...

    Praise - Worship

    I'm not sure, but maybe praise is connected more to what He does and worship is connected more to what/who He is.

    Nicodemus

    Born again isn't a 'slogan', it's a spiritual dynamic testified of in Scripture. Jesus, Peter, John, Paul, and James testified of it. All believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are born again in this lifetime. It's not the resurrection. It's something that has already happened to these...

    Where is John the Apostle now?

    No he didn't. Get a dictionary and look up the word "if".

    Can I call myself a Christian if I'm unsure I'm born again

    Jesus never broke a single one of them. Believe in Him. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. Romans 4:8 (KJV)

    Can I call myself a Christian if I'm unsure I'm born again

    If you believe in Jesus as your personal Savior, then you are saved AND born again. Being saved and being born again always go together. Don't put your trust in your christening, your church, or your title - those won't save you.

    More Than Conquerors

    We didn't conquer. We received a free gift. Conquerors are not secure. They can be stripped of their conquest by death, life, angels, principalities, powers, things present, things to come, height, depth, or any other creature. We can't be stripped of what we have freely obtained; the love of...

    Hell, Sheol, Hades...

    Try 'tears" and "heart-breaking horror". That's been my observation of saints who have lost loved ones, who apparently died in their sins. As a believer in eternal torment, I don't want anyone to go there.

    Hell, Sheol, Hades...

    Good point. The scales of justice remain in balance.

    Hell, Sheol, Hades...

    The devil, the beast, and the false prophet being tormented day and night for ever and ever is "whole, healthy, complete, in unity, missing nothing that is good". They're suffering righteous indignation - it's righteous.

    Hell, Sheol, Hades...

    it sounds like you're describing pantheism. God will never be the saints in heaven either.

    Hell, Sheol, Hades...

    Good point. When Paul wrote "who only hath immortality" to Timothy, both him and Timothy had immortality; as well as every other believer at the time. The previous verse says that God is the only potentate. I can bench press a bed spread every morning when I wake up, so I'm a potentate too...

    Hell, Sheol, Hades...

    It IS literal. We're told that in a context. Your claim is a bunch of out-of-context baloney. Death didn't keep the rich man from living.
