Jeremiah prophesied that the New Covenant to come would include the permanent indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. This included the Spirit of the fear of the Lord. (Jer 32:40) This was sent to seal believers to righteousness for their own good. Also I don't see any evidence of JB...

YES... This principle was confirmed at the battle of Ai. A family hid booty from Jericho under the house, making their own arrangements to be provided for, due to their lack of faith in God to supply and blatant disobedience. As a result, the whole campaign was effected to the point of...

I could but it deserves to be watched. In 63 years of walking with Him, this for me is the most outstanding documentary of what happens when Jesus works with the faithful. In the 70's I took this video around various churches and the response was a stunned silence. Folks were convicted -...

A real believer with a love relationship with Christ would never do this.

Fruit is the evidence of faith. Those who are severed did not have faith.

The fear of God within seals them against that action.

Amen.

Quietness because it is not too easy to argue with ?

A deceptive spirit will argue against anything...

I think the end of Matt 25 needs to be heeded. If this is not at the core of our walk, we are in serious trouble.

Please look carefully at this documentary recording events that occurred in Mexico back in the 60's I am keen to hear feedback. What can we learn form this ???

The present situation makes it hard to raise serious theological issues without the topic being hijacked by members pushing fringe theologies. Anyway thanks for all who participated in this discussion.

Mmmm... there wouldn't be many Messianic's if they had to follow that procedure... :(

As a matter of interest - My Mum and dad were both excommunicated because she was RC and he was Salvation Army. They were married in an Anglican church. There were only 5 at the wedding and in desperation the taxi driver was co-opted by the Vicar as a witness. You are not alone !!!

Yes, I have no doubt this happens, I am sorry for your bad experience. I have watched your threads and understand your frustration.

Hey, thanks for the many responses. As things stand, one could belong to any cult and claim the title Christian, and it wouldn't be questioned... I have had about 5 years on CF and folks are happy to disclose JW, Mormon, SDA, whatever, and they get respect. What is avoided is unwittingly...

We seem to have a raft of folks arguing against the trinity and the identity of Jesus. If members were unable to hide behind the term 'Christian' it would save a lot of time. Thoughts... ???

I think our theology is shaped by our personal experience of God. Those who have been delivered from the pit - in this life - are more likely to believe in Amazing Grace, like I do.

I believe in OSAS Because my faith has been tested and I should be dead. Honestly my 11 years in rebellion took me to a dark place and only God could save me from it. If I wasn't born again when I was 13 I wouldn't have survived.
