    Preachers Are Not Pastors!

    I am not going beyond this first paragraph because you are descending into the ridiculous. I thought we were discussing the church. If we are, then talking about teachers in school is pathetic and clutching at straws. If we are, we do not call anyone Teacher Jones as I have said many times but...

    The Great Danger Of Being Out Of Church

    You do have some strange ideas. In my bible, the apostles preached to the unbeliever i.e. Mars Hill and the teacher teaches the believer. The greek word is "didaskalos 'which means teacher in Eph 4. If you are referring to pastors preaching and proclaiming the truth of God's word, there are...

    The Great Danger Of Being Out Of Church

    What a strange concept. The NT church did not have so called "bible believing churches" for the simple reason they did not have the bible. That was finalised in C400AD. What they were taught was the apostle's doctrine and that was done verbally in homes through dialogue and discussion (Acts 2)

    The Great Danger Of Being Out Of Church

    I think your word is full of spirit and life and backed up by scripture. You may not know Selene but protestants don't use the catholic bible because it has been changed to suit catholic theology.i.e prelate. AMEN BROTHER!!!!!

    Preachers Are Not Pastors!

    As I said we do not call anyone teacher. Once again we do not call anyone teacher. To those he had brought into the kingdom of God as I have said before. And they were not titles. They were ministries. None of the apostles were priests because the word was never used in that context. The most...

    Christian "gay Bashing"

    One of the problems that we face with homosexuality since governments have caved in to the militant homosexuals, it is in your face. I wrote elsewhere that the day will come that you won't be able to get a job unless you are a homosexual. In the UK as of this year, if you are a homosexual you...

    Preachers Are Not Pastors!

    As yet I have not heard anyone called Teacher Priest as you call your priests Father Priest. What I do hear constantly is “welcome to Brother Derek Prince who has a ministry of teaching” which is quite correct according to scripture as teaching is a ministry given by Christ (Eph 4:11) No where...

    The Great Danger Of Being Out Of Church

    I was reading about a church in India that had 100,000 members and growing and they all met in homes. No liturgy, no priest, no pastor. Which brings me to another topic which is often raised by those who attend the apostate church to those who are part of the real body of Christ and it is....if...

    The Great Danger Of Being Out Of Church

    I don't know where you got this verse from but it doesn't say what you claim it to say. In the original Greek it says they have been make OVERSEERS, to SHEPHERD the flock. In other words, a servant ministry and quite different to a catholic bishop who is set on a pedestal. One who serves does...

    The Great Danger Of Being Out Of Church

    I have a feeling that your understanding of church is quite different to what is describes in the NT. First, there is only one body of Christ and if you are born again and baptised by immersion, you are a part of it. Second, you are church where two or three (or more) are gathered together...

    The Great Danger Of Being Out Of Church

    Sort of but not really. As you will see In Ephesians 4:8 that he gave gifts to men (five) apostle, prophet, evangelist, shepherd and teacher. (v11). In verse 12 it says he gave them for...the work of the ministry. The word ministry is diakonia which means attendance as a servant. So that means...

    The Great Danger Of Being Out Of Church

    Interestingly, Ï have been attending a baptist church and they gave me a booklet "What baptists believe. I went through it and found 31 things that they believe that are not supported by scripture. The end result was I was told I could not do or say anything because I believed in the...

    Christian "gay Bashing"

    For what it is worth the scripture says to be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves From my own experience of spending two years running a support group for homosexuals exiting their way of life, there are some basics that will inform what we do. The root cause of homosexuality is rejection...

    As yet, I have not seen anyone do this here.

    Christian Clothing Restrictions

    This is a cultural interpretation of what the scriptures teach. Most of the time we wear what we wear because we are rebelling against God and his word. The NT is full of instructions how we are to live, treat each other and how we should dress. The leadership should give teaching on this...

    Christian Clothing Restrictions

    This is Old Covenant teaching and I for one do not live under the Old Covenant, I live under the New. It is not acceptable to try and live under the old and the new, which is what he is doing. Jesus did away with the old and brought in a new covenant. The only thing from the old that is relevant...

    Let’S Take A Look At The 4 Different Baptisms

    I beg to differ on this "ït is only symbolic" bit. As I understand it, in baptism I am saying that I no longer want to exist. I want to get rid of the old man of sin and become the new man in Christ. My baptism allows me to show that it is not just words and I expect the old man of sin to die in...

    The Great Danger Of Being Out Of Church

    Unfortunately the Bible doesn’t. You can’t attend the church because we are the church so you can’t attend yourself. Everyone who is born again and baptized is a member of the body of Christ. When they meet together (two or three or more) they are the church. This meeting together can be any...
