    are you trapped in Nicolaitan Dialectic?

    Out of curiousity, where did i use "church tradition" as a basis for doctrine? This is flat out a false accusation, I use scripture to interpret scripture. Jesus would not put something in the word of God and say he "hated" that thing and then not explain what it is... I used the Word of God to...

    The Progressive revelation of the Church ages.

    Learning to Love Like Christ Loved us Is not an overnight thing in the individual, nor is this something we can accomplish by our own will and Strength, But is done through the strength and sanctification of the Spirit. Literally it is God's Love perfected in us to claim we can produce this Love...

    The Progressive revelation of the Church ages.

    And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. (2 Peter 1:5-10) Apart from saving faith there...

    are you trapped in Nicolaitan Dialectic?

    That is Just it, my Point is based on the Bible and what is written therein, You just cannot accept the conviction it brings you, and you quench the Spirit each time you reject this. Follow the Path outlined in 2 Peter 1:5-10, that is all i encourage you to do. Begin the Journey and he too will...

    are you trapped in Nicolaitan Dialectic?

    Your response here shows the Laodicean Denial you are living in, the two go hand in hand, and feed off of each other. One says we do not need anything else, and the other says all you need is our leadership and you will be good with God. Your comment exemplifies this perfectly. Christ Jesus...

    are you trapped in Nicolaitan Dialectic?

    Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; (Revelation 1:19) I Believe in the threefold Revelation of the Words of this Prophecy. I Believe the letters point to churches that were seen by John hence in existence at the time he was...

    are you trapped in Nicolaitan Dialectic?

    Very well, the passage that I would have Hoped that you Picked up on was from Acts 20, Let me quote it for you... Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own...

    are you trapped in Nicolaitan Dialectic?

    The Nicolaitan dialectic perpetuates itself, The Church has Elders and Shepherds but they are like you and any believer, they are all brethren, they are not rulers over the Laity, holding the laity in their place but rather encouraging them to grow in the Grace of God to be elders themselves...

    are you trapped in Nicolaitan Dialectic?

    A Nicolaitan dialectic is a means of manipulation used by leaders in a society or social construct to keep the People in their subservient and dependent position on their leadership. It is based on Circular reasoning and is prevalent in all Worldly institutions, whether they be secular or...

    A Last Word Spoken With Love And Tears....

    Sorry to hear that, the Church in general is lacking visionaries such as yourself. God Bless you in your Future endeavors. For those who are wondering.... As someone who has witnessed the persecution that Gideon as faced on several forums now, I am appreciative of the stand he takes. I Do not...

    Difference between Mark, Name and Number of the beast

    Difference between Mark, Name and Number of the beast Here is my take.... You forgot the most important part, worship of the beast. The Mark of the beast is the falling into the three fold seduction of the Devil, the very same temptations he used on Christ and the very same he uses on all...

    The rabbit hole called Christian nationalism.....

    Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.... Rest in the LORD, and...

    If you want to stop sinning.

    The Doctrine of rest is a vital first step in the Christian walk towards the sanctification of the Spirit. It is not an end on the journey but the beginning of it. The point where we learn to trust in the Providence of God. Like so many doctrines that are true in the church it can be used...

    Latter Rain

    When the Church is "of one accord" there is Power there. These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. (Act 1:14) And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place...

    Any non pre-trib teachers?

    Paradise comes after the wilderness. Saints are mentioned on earth until Revelation 14, They are called to endure. They face the persecution of the beast, they refuse the Mark of the beast. Who are the saints in your understanding? The rejects of the church? Or are they the Jewish converts? You...

    Any non pre-trib teachers?

    In a way your right, the church will not face this, the saints will, the church will witness these things from the wilderness.

    Any non pre-trib teachers?

    No One wants to, but this is part of the calling of the saints, Most of the faithful will not face this, but be protected in the wilderness for 1260 days ... See Revelation 12:10-11

    Any non pre-trib teachers?

    I Personally believe in the pre-wrath rapture. Marvin Rosenthal is the first that I am aware of to propose this though i think he is off on some of his teaching as to exactly where the rapture is in relation to revelation. My personal opinions is that the rapture of the church occurs...
