    Sin Nature

    Has anybody ever thought about the fact that Adam did not have a sin nature and Jesus who was the Second Adam was born of the seed of a woman and he did not have a sin nature?

    Child Salvation

    If that is the case then what is your opinion of the 50 to 60 million that have been aborted? Most people want to believe and teach that they are all in heaven today. If that is the case then abortion is not as bad a thing as we all say it is and stand against.

    Child Salvation

    So you and some of the others then are saying till a child gets old enough to make that decision on it's own that it is lost with no hope of salvation?

    Child Salvation

    There are many schools of thought on that topic. Truth of the matter is whether most want to admit it or not, certain sins run in certain families. This thought of sins of the fathers makes many people bristle with anger. Also MOST people will tell you that when they accept Jesus Christ EVERY...

    Sin And Sickness

    Rach I teach pretty much all of the time on this subject. I do a seminar called Finding Freedom which is normally a 4 day affair. In this teaching we talk a lot about how anxieties, fears, and worries, cause us to be sick. I started doing these seminars in June and have done three teachings so...

    Child Salvation

    1Co 7:14 (14) For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. Do you think that this might be an answer? Could the fact that the parents are believers have an impact either for...

    Child Salvation

    Is a child born sinless? At what point can that child go to hell unless it is born again? I always hear people make the statement that every child that dies automatically goes to heaven. What determines that and when is the cut off mark? What about the sins of the fathers? Does that play a...

    Free Will

    Ok who has free will and who is the elect? Do theelect have free will? :) It is not inthe nature of god to cause disobedience. I personally find that we always have a choice. In His foreknowledge God knows what choice we will make. If He caused us to sin then He would be sinning becasue it is...

    Free Will

    Operating on limited time but loving this forum. Amazing to see people able to openly talk about Christianity and not get slammed every other post by a God hater. Here is another interesting topic to talk about. Some say that man has a free will to do what ever he chooses. Others say that...

    Cults

    Actually most of the ones one talks to of what ever belief have at times hundreds if not thousands of hours of study in their respective beliefs. Personally I am that way. I am for instance am too Pentecostal to be considered not by many non Pentecostals but not enough to be by many Pentecostals...

    Cults

    That is real good but the only problem is what are you to define? Non-Pentecostals for instance define Pentecostals as being a part of a cult. What would you as a non-Pentecostal try to get the pentecostal to define. Or you as a Pentecostal try to get then non pentecostal to define.....? This is...

    Sin And Sickness

    I spent two weeks in Anchorage, Ak last May in class with a ministry called Wellspring. It was the most intriguing two weeks I ever spent and I have been in a pastor for 12 years and studied with a lot of well known people in classes and seminars. The very first day there we had a nurse teach a...

    Cults

    Interesting idea but then as I stated above you can find any group you want to name that is listed as a cult. However there are many groups listed on the lists that even believe in the Trinity. There are others that believe in say Jesus only who claim to be Christians...... It is hard to...

    Sin And Sickness

    With all due respect on this topic I teach on the correlations of the two all of the time but that is not one that I have dug deeply into. I know that there are people that teach if one is sick that they should take communion daily. I even know of a woman that was in danger of losing her child...

    Cults

    If one looks on the Internet he can quickly see that almost everything one names can be assigned a cult status. Obviously every denomination has a different set of beliefs to another so therefore basically every group is a cult of some sort. Therefore how do you determine which is and which is...

    The Baptism With The Holy Spirit (A Scriptural Study)

    Also most people that are not spirit filled automatically hear the word tongues and immediately go to 1 Cor 12 and the 9 gifts mentioned to try to associate with the infilling of the Holy spirit. Truth is that these power gifts are also ministry gifts as explained in 1 Cor 14. Where there are...

    The Baptism With The Holy Spirit (A Scriptural Study)

    I'm new to this forum as well so please be patient with me. I do want to make one quick point here on this. When a person is saved they receive the Holy Spirit. in fact they can't be saved unless the Spirt is drawing them. I liken it to a well of water which will supply them..... However when...

    Sin And Sickness

    Exactly. Most times however when people associate sickness and sin in the same category immediately they get intimidated. Truth is all sickness is the result of sin. NOT NECESSARILY THE SIN OF THE SICK PERSON. First we are sick becasue of Adam's sin. The sins of others, and of course our sin as...

    Sin And Sickness

    There was no flu, cancer, high blood pressure, or what ever disease you might name before sin entered the world. I don't imagine that your flu is a direct punishment either. :) If sin has anything to do with it in all probability stress issues might be the cause of a weak immune system...

    Sin And Sickness

    Greetings folks this is my first post here. I was invited here and have been hunting a forum similar to what this one appears for a good while. I like to learn and teach the Bible regularly. This is a topic many times that is hotly debated in many circles. It is interesting to note there...
