In your posts Watt, you always start with "In the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit". What is the name of these three?

Havng experienced all types of churches and meetings, from the home fellowship to the status quo type and the stir them up modern expression, I can only put it down to one thing. God has deposited in you a dynamic ministry that is there not to be left on the shelf or dished out according to a...

An interesting comment Jackie. Today most churches seem to fall into one of two catagories. The first is to be relevant, those of the electronic rock music type and which seems to attract the young and the second is the "we have always done it this way" group that sees change as denying the...

Also I'd like for you to explain further how Anglicanism is contradictory to the words of Christ if you could. Today's news is that an Anglican church in England has just 'married' two homosexuals, one of whom is the priest at the church. This is despite their Archbishop saying that they were...

Your comment disturbed me (in the best possible way) Manichunter and made me think even more than I usually do. What is occuring to me is that just maybe the word 'church' is not so far from the truth as it indicates a counterfeit, not the real thing.People are forever saying and believing that...

I am more interested in what we should do right now.

Now that Sealed Eternal has given us a very clear explanation, perhaps we can put our thinking caps on and answer the question "that being the case, what difference should it make as to how we express ourself as believers?

Thankyou Richard. My search for the truth began in 1963 when my pastor said that 'breaking of bread' in the scriptures was a meal. My fellowship has two meals a week together and on the first Sunday of the month three and other informal breakfasts and lunches to eat together.

I've never really seen anybody become drunk in the Spirit. I have never seen anyone climb Mount Everest but that doesn't mean that it hasn't happened.You will find as I did when I made a study of revivals whilst I was at Bible College, that falling down under the power of the Spirit was...

WHY THE "LORD'S TABLE" IS A MEAL. "DO THIS" IS A ONCE OFF, NOT A CONTINUOUS THING At university (secular) I took a unit called “Jesus in the gospels”. My lecturer and tutor was the head of the department, an Anglican Minister and a very godly man who was not into “proving anything”. He was more...

I know the history, however the Church has Apostolic succession. It is impossible for a church started in the UK in the middle ages to have apostolic succession. Actually there were altars, priests and sacraments. Not in the new Testament Church. These started when Constantine legalised...

I long to worship in a gathering where it is one accord and the way God wants it to be.....Does this exist today? In my study of the NT church I read about 40 other authors. One thing that was becoming apparent was that people are ditching the institutionalised church in droves for a more...

I personally prefer the Anglican Church, due to the structure the format, the tradition, and the way that they teach the Word. It's something that has been based on these traditions since the time of the Apostles, This is quite untrue as the Anglican church did not come into being until the...

Jesus taught that even hating was the same thing. In Matt 5:20 Jesus said our righteousness had to surpass that of the scribes and pharisees. An example was that the law taught that we should not kill, but Jesus said we were not even allowed to hate (which is not in the law).It was obvious that...

Bigape, the verses you quoted have nothing to do with the leadership of the local congregation. 1 Cor 9 sets out the rights of an apostle who is travelling. He establishes new churches and then hands them over to Elders, or pays return visits to churches he has established.Galations 6 is...

Having just completed a 12 month study of the New Testament church and noticing some of the comments about church here, I am compelled to ask the question "What is Church?"Is it a building where one goes to sing songs and pray and listen?Is it a place where young people are entertained?Should we...

His by Grace, here is tip that might help with your headaches. It was given to me by my daughter who seems to understand these things. Try drinking more fluid. I used to get headaches and she told me it was because I was dehydrated and drinking fluids would prevent that.What is church? is a good...

If it is any help Learning, I don't smoke because I think it is stupid and unhealthy, not because of any christian conviction. If I wasn't a christian, I still would not smoke for the reasons stated.If you don't feel right about it perhaps you need to find out why you smoke. Until you come up...

Can someone respond to the idea that Christ implied it's still in our best interest to live by the law and teach it? This thread isn't supposed to be about "needing" to follow laws that have already been fulfilled. I want to talk about how the law can still be good, should we choose to keep it...

Zail, I can't read your posts that are in white and yellow.
