    Holiness or Hell. God's command to His people!

    God is holy, Jesus the Christ is holy and the Holy Spirit is holy, the Holy Writ is holy and the gospel of Jesus Christ is holy. We as the church is called to live holy as He our master is holy! (1 Peter 1:16, Leviticus 19:2). Holiness is perfect and complete or absolute only in God. He alone is...

    Don' Tamper with the Holy Spirit's Seal

    Yes! Amen to that testimony Axehead! I remember and still presently staying on my knees asking to sanctify me and truly save me! I do not want to be out of the will of God so whatever He commands me to do I will do it with His help. To others it may seem as though I do too much that all you have...

    Don' Tamper with the Holy Spirit's Seal

    Amen! Wonderful and convicting post! I was always taught and I believe that "once saved, always saved" was a false doctrine. Many get forgiveness mixed up with repentance. Yes you may confess Jesus as Savior but if you do not obey Him as Lord then what was the use of your confession. You must...

    Where's REAL Bible Teaching Gone?

    Not only is there a lack of solid biblical teaching and preaching there is a lack of solid biblical living. Many Christians use Christianity as a name sake or safe keep and think of God as someone to manipulate and serve themselves. Yet God was not created by us or created in our image, no no...

    responding to shooting.

    When we force God out of our schools, laws, governments, homes, etc. we allow the enemy room to come in and do what he is known for to kill, steal and destroy. God has been and still is waiting for our repentance yet we refuse Him. "Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his...

    Manifestations

    For you to believe that sincere and genuine Christians would open themselves up to new age or other false evil spirits is very disturbing. Jesus proclaimed that ""Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?f you, then, though...

    What does it mean to be Born Again

    To me "being born again" means being born of the water and the Spirit (John 3:5). Its simply God saving me through His son Jesus from being on my way to a burning hell that I deserved for my sinful heart and lifestyle yet by His grace and mercy He chose me and saved me. And so as a result of me...

    WHO were the many warnings in the NT written to?

    I believe these scriptures are written to believers. For judgement begins with the House of God. We are redeemed by the blood of Jesus yet He requires obedience and a holy lifestyle dedicated to Him alone!

    Can You Lose Your Salvation ?

    Genuine belief produces action and fruit. Salvation is not a mere intellectual contemplation or emotional experience it is evident and based in a changed life. How can you accept a life changing gospel and there is no change in your life? When we accept Jesus as Savior we understand that He has...

    Manifestations

    Point and blank period there are people that have genuinely accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior and live changed lives that have experienced manifestations of the Holy Spirit.

    Proof: being born-again is different than being “baptized with the Holy Spirit”

    Yes I speak in tongues as the Holy Spirit gives the utterance but more than tongues I believe and show love and the other fruit of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has empowered me through the Word of God to have more and show more love, compassion, mercy and other fruit of the Holy Spirit to...

    Proof: being born-again is different than being “baptized with the Holy Spirit”

    Matthew 3:11 ""I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire." Hebrews 6:4-5 "For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened...

    Proof: being born-again is different than being “baptized with the Holy Spirit”

    The Word stands alone. I do not chase TV preachers or healing revivals and no where did I say that tongues were an evidence of salvation. It is the biblical initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:1-4, Acts 10:44, Acts 19:1-6). More than tongues the Pentecostal faith has...

    Why Christians Fail to Receive Physical Healing

    The Holy Bible does not lie! In the word God declares that He sent His Word and it healed them!(Psalms 107:20). God also says that He is the Lord our God that healeth thee! (Exodus 15:26). And by the blood of Jesus we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). Jesus held the sick and gave that same power to His...

    say something nice about the person above you.

    ^ Very vocal and has a strong opinion on everything. Yet I can see a genuine love of Christ and sound doctrine even though we may not agree on every aspect of it. :D

    Proof: being born-again is different than being “baptized with the Holy Spirit”

    How is it not taught in New Testament teaching? It stated in the Book of Acts on several occasions (Acts 2:1-4, Acts 10:44, Acts 19:1-6) and in the Apostle Paul's teaching he speaks of tongues. So I am not understanding where you are culminating your opinion from? Tongues are the first (initial)...

    Proof: being born-again is different than being “baptized with the Holy Spirit”

    This is a general statement. What doctrines lack New Testament evidence? And what is so wrong with being a Pentecostal Christian?

    Proof: being born-again is different than being “baptized with the Holy Spirit”

    I never piggy backed off what you said Rex. I do not know where that has come from. I do not have a liberal interpretation of Paul writing. Neither of my statements are in conflict with each other. The Apostle Paul said not all speak this stems from a lot of things lack of belief, knowledge...
