In post #535 I mentioned how we would read and reflect on Acts 6 for a week (to prepare questions, reflections, responses). Then we can open the discussion/reflection up in about another three days. This is a group effort - we all have a contribution to make. Different members are strong in...

Cool, welcome aboard !

We dealt with this earlier. I am happy to accept either version of the Creed to qualify to participate here...

Yes JB was an exception - the Holy Spirit with Him from conception like Jesus - not surprisingly considered the greatest in the Old Covenant. Yet he never performed a miracle - except to facilitate the miracle of folks coming to repentance !!!

This sounds like a specific interpretation of the Scripture. JB was told that the Messiah would uniquely have the Holy Spirit remain in Him at baptism others were temporally blessed with His presence. This was the first Baptism in the Spirit that the disciples later received at Pentecost. If...

Yes - the reading of scripture devotionally ministers and restores.

Yes... we know God the Father has several names which are usually associated with an attribute. So when we pray it is fitting to match the nature of the petition to an aspect of His nature by addressing Him with the appropriate Name.

Matt 24 36 “But about that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. 37 For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah". Jesus said that before His ascension. Taking on Humanity was to accept limited understanding to be...

Hi there, nice to see you checking us out. We were given the opportunity to create a thread which is seperate from the usual bun fight from non-mainstream members. To do this we simply agree to the Nicene Creed which represents mainstream Christianity pretty well. Next chapter is Acts 6. We...

Understood, thanks for feeding back. Hey team - some prayer in Pearl's direction would be timely it seems.

Hi Rita, Sorry for thinking you were leaving, I misunderstood you. You may have noticed I am quite active in the usual threads and am comfortable to interact with 'all comers'. Initially I did not post a summary first, I only started doing that because other members were coming in strong with...

John 14:13 And whatever you ask in My name, this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. What did the disciples call Jesus - what Name was He given. Simple really - the Name of Jesus. So in English Jesus is the Name above every name - this according to John was the Father's...

Thanks for the valuable feedback - the Mods suggested an area in which we didn't have to be subject to the aggressive contention so prevalent in the normal forum. It seemed that the easiest way to achieve this, was to gather those who agreed with foundational issues and work together for deeper...

Agreed

If other readers can assist me to make sense out of that response It would be appreciated. Not sure why this member would feel disregarded - I thought we were getting along just fine.

For the record all I try to do is to encourage others to take all of scripture into account in forming theology. I also offer my position in humility inviting correction.
