Agreed. (Not on the role of women leadership as pastors part through :D ) This is not about narrow mindedness or ignorance. This is about Biblical hermeneutics. If you want to have a biblical discussion, lets stick to discussing the text and not result to name calling. 101G... This is not...

Okay 101G, If you want to use Gill's commentary as your authority...lets do that. First of all, he is referring to the spiritual privledges that are equal for men and women such as baptism, the Lord's supper and so forth. Clearly he is NOT speaking about role distinctions in church leadership...

Polt, It also says that Cornelius and his household feared God which seems pretty specific. This is not the action of an infant. Its fine if you want to read such ideas into the text as long as you recognize you are implanting them and the text does not expressly. Rather, it seems that the...

101G, You are not reading what I am writing very carefully. "The entire book of Galatians is dealing with how a person is saved." Notice, I did not say that the book was an evangelistic effort to save the Galatians. Rather, it is teaching them/reminding them how a person is saved. They were...

What if the first resurrection takes place at baptism and a persons salvation. After all, isn't that when we are "raised with Christ" and are "born from above?"

101G, Paul, in Galatians 1:9 said that if anyone preaches another Gospel than the one he preached, they should be eternally condemned. Right? I agree with you that Paul brought new revelation as an Apostle about God's dealing with Gentiles through Jesus Christ. This same Paul said their is...

101G, I think I understand what you are trying to say, though it is difficult because of your punctuation and grammar. Forgive me if I am barking up the wrong tree, but I am giving this a shot. The context of James is talking about Christians judging each other based on wealth. Thus, some...

Where do you see infant baptism in Acts 10:44-48? It says the Spirit came upon all who heard the message and "they" (the same they that heard and praised God as a result) were baptized. I think the only way one can see an infant in this text is if it is needed to justify a preconcieved notion.

101G, I would disagree strongly with your hermeneutics on this issue. You keep referring to Paul's comment in Galatians that their is neither male nor female in Christ. This passage has to do with salvation and not church leadership. Those who put their faith in Christ belong to Christ and...

Christian baptism has different meaning for different denominational groups. For some, baptism is akin to OT circumcision. Thus, infants are baptized because some view it as an act of dedication to the Lord while others view it as a means of cleansing original sin. For others, baptism has no...

Justin, I appreciate the apology. I agree with you that there certainly are bad ministers and bad doctrines. I do not condone those who abuse their position or mishandle the Word of God. However, I also know many ministers and see many have incredible hearts for God. I think our aim should...

Justin, This is the quote to which I am referring. Clearly you feel that being Spirit-led means you can have the power to know someone else's thoughts. My point was that you seem to infer a lot about me in your judgments and I am arguing that perhaps you do not have Extra Sensory Perception...

7angels, Thanks for the request for clarification. My point is that many people are using the phrase "Spirit-led" as a means to undercut local church leadership or justify a critical attitude toward others. Though I am not in a charismatic circle, I am closely connected with those who are or...

So if its your way it's the Spirits way...got it. You've made it abundantly clear in our conversations that your words are Gods and others plans and efforts are all carnal and man made. Crystal clear.

There's a good chance you are off the mark. (And you are). The ESP comment had to do with another post of yours concerning your teaching of how the Spirit moves.

Justin, You don't know me. How can you correct and rebuke me for anything? How can you claim I don't know the truth and need to "wake up?" I am commenting on your criticisms and you are commenting on my character and heart. You may call it divine or Spirit-led ESP, but to me its just...

I don't think I follow you. Because it's easy? Laying foundational things again and again? Not sure how this applies to what was posted. You will have to explain.

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” (Revelation 21:1–2, ESV) The church is the bride...

I refuse to engage in this discussion further. I am weary of those who delight in nitpicking and bashing those who serve the church and have committed their lives to Scripture and building the body of Christ. Those who see years of prayerfully memorizing, examining and writing about Scripture...
