    Rejecting Christ, or rejecting "Christianity"? (the church) ???

    The locus of our Christianity should be the Home and our immediate neighbours. Church should be coming together and rejoicing about what God has done during the week. Sadly we have a serious disconnect between the two. Church leadership has become a professional job. Jesus is in the market...

    Reading Auntie Jane, be aware of the position her JW friends hold. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that salvation requires faith in Christ, association with God’s organization (i.e., their religion), and obedience to its rules. So claims of saving Grace among folks not associated with JW are...

    Just reading this OP and addressing your question. A few issues come to mind. First off crisis seems to be a necessary component to bring one to deep surrender so He can find a willing soul to work with and through. Spiritual inheritance can play a part - I have some great saints among my...

    I am talking about seeing healing of others in the public space. It seems however that you are asking for more of a personal testimony - is that correct ?
