QUOTE (Lookin'4wardtoHeaven @ Apr 16 2009, 03:13 PM) Are we saying that we shouldn't have Pastors? I wanted to add these scriptures, ..Acts 20:28 (King James Version) 28Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to...

Leadership is a function, NOT a position title, status or line of command.Our vision is to empower YOU.People often ask leaders “What is your vision?” Our response to that question is, ‘our vision is to empower you in your vision’, so the question becomes reversed. The model of leadership that...

QUOTE (For Life @ Apr 15 2009, 07:21 PM) I'm not sure I'm understanding what is being discussed. When people go to church they expect the pastor (clergy) to teach them from the bible, correct? Are you suggesting that when we go to church we should all just talk amongst ourselves and not let...

Bishop is a function IT IS NOT a position. NT leadership is not based on the worldly system of the pyramid. That's why the church isn't working and we have spectator congregations.Sir if you are the founder of this forum then you should no better than to suggest that leadership is based on position

Women in leadershipThere are no striking differences in the attitudes of the four Evangelists (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John): for all relate stories about women and relate them sympathetically. Whereas, Jewish genealogies normally included only males, Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus mentions four...

QUOTE (tomwebster @ Apr 15 2009, 02:35 PM) No offense at all. The credentials are not needed in Scripture, but check state law, (at least in every state I have checked). My credentials to perform weddings need to be on file in the county court house for the state I perform weddings in. I do...

While the “clergy/laity” distinction is embedded and assumed in religious circles, it cannot be found in the New Testament. Because the New Testament knows nothing of “clergy”, the fact that a separate cast of the “ordained” permeates our vocabulary and practice illustrates rather forcefully...

QUOTE (Mustafah @ Mar 22 2009, 10:25 AM) Greetings,What's the reasoning behind Christian women not being allowed to lead Bible study classes? (Male students). Why does it matter whether it's a man or woman when it comes to knowledge? I found this very strange. Please clarify.- Regards. See my...

Hi GuysFor some time I have been involved as a regular contributor on a great Christian forum called, “The God Journey”. Most of the people on this forum have experienced a bumpy road as they made their way out of the IC, yet most couldn’t get out fast enough. One of the regular posts of this...

QUOTE (Dunamite @ Feb 15 2009, 12:07 PM) I don't know what circles you travel in, but as a Canadian Christian I have to disagree with all of your assertions about Christianity here. I attend an evangelical Presbyterian church. They are considered to be God's frozen chosen and I can only say...

In the past 27 years my wife and I have travelled the world speaking in YWAM schools, Mission’s conferences, Bible schools and local churches. During that time we have seen dozens of healing miracles, cast out hundreds of demons out of unbelievers, Christians, Pastors and Bishops and had an...

(coalface;68921) Can anyone post some links here of some really effective and creative web sites that serve an online evangelism role?In particular, sites that lead people to a knowledge of the truth about Jesus and to win the ultimate prize: a sinner who was lost now come to know and give their...

(Dave...;22580) At the time of our initial, authentic, God given faith, we are immersed into the Body by Jesus with the Holy Spirit (sealed with the seal of our inheritance). We become one with Him, actually "in Christ". At that same moment, we are imputed with Christ's perfect righteous. God...

(Dave...;22576) If anyone believes that these people were saved, and then lost their salvation, then, by the context, you must also believe in "once lost, always lost". These people were not saved. Here's an overview that will give you the flow of...

(Peacebewithyou;22572) He gave in to his flesh. Quoting Matthew: 41Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Just because a person has confessed Jesus as Lord does not mean that he'll never sin again. We are weak and we often fail -...

5 Kinds of ChristianSilly me I thought there was only one type, 100%erGuess that’s why the Rich young ruler didn’t come along. Jesus made it far too hard for him unlike many of us who are often accused by those more radical than ourselves that we need to stop offering cheep grace.:naughty:

JESUS being LORD is a pre condition of salvation, if He is then the once saved always saved question is a non starter?Jesus is the savior but He is the "LORD" to receive salvation one must confess Jesus as Lord.The man needs to repent and confess Jesus as Lord, if he’s already done that then how...
