"Nobody is missing out on anything by not speaking in tongues except maybe a good show! . Peace or a closer bond with God has nothing to do with tongues. 99% of the time it's counterfeit." - kaoticprofit -- Isn't it amazing that those that never have done something, claim that those that...

Outstanding post Angelina. Many thanks.

Sorry rjp but I great your post with a collective yawn.

Opinions have been altered on: - The Rapture - Tithing - Gifts of the Holy Spirit - Some End-Of-Time events There are a number of topics that have made me stop and re-evaluate, but when I researched - both the materials I had and the materials suggested to me - in many cases my opinion...

-- Exactly.

-- Right or wrong, your commentary really has nothing to do with this thread. It WOULD if America was using all those "bullets and bombs" with the expressed purpose of spreading or enforcing Christianity. But since that isn't the case... Please notice that the primary conversation so far has...

-- The ease with which you feel tongues can be counterfitted does not negate the fact that they are true. An individual's abuse / misuse / falsification of God's gift does not negate the fact that it is....well, God's gift. -- By it's fruits. If someone speaks in tongues and someone...

Interesting thing about the "Mark." Obviously it will come down to choice as to whether or not a Christian gets it. If they don't they won't be able to buy, sell, find employment, etc. But if they do, God has warned they will be condemned to hell. No exception. No pleading the case later...

Ducky, I appreciate the scripture you provided from John: "Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God! Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." - John 20:28-29 Many Bible translations can vary but all major...

LOL "Ad hominems." Noticed you love to throw that phrase out whenever you need a filler, as well. How humorous it is that it applies more to what you have to say than to those like me silly enough to actually try to discuss with you. Good luck to you.

I wonder how many people are going to be in for a rude awakening when they stand before God just because Bell found his niche.

Butch, your tripe grows tiresome. According to you Jesus is God but in your book He is just "a" God, not "the" God. As you said in another thread, He is but a member of the "royal family" but not the head of that family. As far as His importance He is relegated to the bench in comparison...

-- Templar, I would venture to say that in the not-so-distant future you are going to be in for a bit of a surprise. ...or is the definition of "New World Order" what is in question? .

While I do attend a Pentecostal church and have witnessed the dancing, hand waving, jumping, etc., I must confess that I too prefer a more sedate form of worship. I find myself sitting with hands folded, kneeling, raised hands, etc., but I speak in a normal voice. I am talking to God, not the...

Pastor Rob Bell apparently isn't enjoying the flack he is getting from other Christians over the claims in his book. The defense he makes to try to deflect from the criticism strike me as just as wrong as his initial claims. I have issues with a number of things he said in the article below...

-- I am sure this is true, but I do not think this is widespread. Over the last 30 years I have been a member of or visited scores of Pentecostal churches. I have seen this only once. Repeat: once. But if you go somewhere and find this to be the case, know that God will deal with those...

-- This is Ducky's response to James 4:7 and I have to say I agree with this statement. It appears many Christians fail to realize that thoughts of condemnation, inadequacy, worthlessness, etc. come from Satan. They seem to confuse it with the conviction that the Holy Spirit sometimes gives...
