    Deborah_ replied to the thread Question- The Grace of God.
    In its essence, grace is when God gives us something for nothing. We are saved by grace: we can't earn salvation, and we can't deserve...

    Deborah_ replied to the thread Speaking in tongues?.
    You're wrong on both counts. Paul says in I Corinthians 14 that tongues are not normally understandable unless someone is given the gift...

    Deborah_ replied to the thread Speaking in tongues?.
    It's of benefit to me (I've never prayed in tongues in public). I've always found prayer a struggle because I get tongue-tied and can't...

    Better yet- YOU quote one where it is forbidden to offer 10% if you decide to give that amt cheerfully? Is 9% ok- how about 11%? Just...

    Deborah_ replied to the thread Tithe.
