Still waiting......

That is so true. I have been in meetings and some singing has been taking place. At some point it seemed as though God started to inhabit the praises of his people and when we got to the end of the song, it was all brought to a halt for the offering. God, how dare you disrupt our programme...

Hope you don't mind me closing up your text Justin to save space. I guess a subject like this is a case of when all is said and done, more is said than done. Jesus said he came to set the captives free. Can I suggest that whether a person is oppressed or possessed by a demon is totally...

Thankyou for the explanation. I have one problem with it. As "going" to church, tithing and reading the Bible are not advocated in scripture for the NT believer, I would say they are not bible believing. I would say they are denominationally brainwashed and devoid of knowledge of what the...

Thankyou for confirming it is not in scripture. If it was you would be able to quote chapter and verse. Please answer my question. He would want them to abandon man's ways of doing things and follow God's way as revealed in scripture. Paul making tents confirms 1 Tim 5 as that is not about...

Where does it say that in scripture? If that is the case why do most Christians say we don't have to keep the fourth commandment? The concept of full time ministry does not appear in the NT so it would be very difficult for God to want people in so called full-time ministry supported. I am sure...

. There is definitely some truth in that. I read about a church which had the full compliment of modern day musical instruments. At some stage they felt God was saying to them that they should abandon that way of doing things and go back to just acoustic guitar. The followed their leading and...

I have only highlighted this last comment forestcupp, but I agree with most of what you say but I draw this distinction. When I did a two year study of leadership in the New Testament Church (NTC) and read 40 books on the subject, I found out that quite a lot that I had taken for granted was...

Thanks for all that information Foreigner. Much appreciated. I will add it to what I have already.

That is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and we have to decide whether we want government by lies or government by truth. Here are the 10 myths that go up to make the one big lie. 1. People are born homosexual 2. Sexual orientation can never change 3. Efforts to...

This is unlikely to happen whilst the emphasis is on correct doctrine as in "what I believe" and whilst man is building little kingdoms for himself. Until we start building the Kingdom of God which means no denominations, unity is a pipe dream. Why would God have a problem with that? In...

You would never know it judging by the legalistic comments you have posted. Yes I would agree with you Axehead as he does that regularly.

Having been in touch with the issues surrounding this topic for about 20 years, a definite pattern evolves to score points against the church and Christians. What the homosexual lobby generally does it to come up with a subject matter and spin it to make the other side look bad and then it...

Perhaps these people are ruptured, not raptured?

I love it because it is the truth. Luke 11:41 But as to what is within, give alms, and instantly all is clean in you. Luk 11:42 "But alas for you Pharisees! for you pay tithes on your mint and rue and every kind of garden vegetable, and are indifferent to justice and the love of God. These are...

A very interesting response. One, it confirms that the NT does not teach tithing and two, because it doesn't then we must seek to justify it from the Old Testament. I for one am not interested in having one foot in the law and one foot in the grace of God. Either I am a New Testament Christian...

Yes, I would agree with that. Some leaders do it out of fear, some to control, some are products of false teachers, and some are controlled by a religious spirit and some are doing the job because of their own rejection so they have to protect themselves all the time so that means nothing out of...

What red herring? Judging by this comment, you are keen to read into scripture what you want to see. Please read them again and you will see not everyone said they fell forward on their faces. One said they fell to the ground-didn't say how so you can only surmise, and one said they experienced...

Posted two weeks ago but no response. Do I assume then that no such verse or verses exist?

We must be careful when making statements like this as the church often ignores what the scripture DOES SAY. For example in Psalm 47:1 it says "Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with the voice of triumph." How many churches clap their hands and shout in praise to God? In Psalm...
