Then there are those who claim they follow only Christ. (1 Cor. 1:12) "Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas;and I of Christ." Stranger

It is my belief, which I believe is supported in Scripture, that one cannot come to the level of maturity that God desires when they separate themselves from other Christians. Those gifts listed in (Eph. 4:11) are leadership gifts given to certain believers for the perfecting or maturing of...

(Matt. 13:10-11) Stranger

You're quite welcome. Stranger

I know it because the maturity of the believer is taught in the Bible. (Eph. 4:11-16) ( 1 Cor. 3:1-2) (Heb. 4:1) (Heb. 5:12-6:1) Well, they are. (1 Cor. 12:12-30) (Eph. 4:11-16) You give me your personal experience. I give you the Scripture. You give me no Scripture supporting a lone...

Well, your salvation, getting from a lost state to a saved state, is not all God wants to do with you. That is a big difference that involves the majority of your life here. Because as a believer you have a certain gift or gifts of the Holy Spirit. Those are for you and the Body. To...

Not at all. But their walk is affected. And the church is affected by their absence. Stranger

Because we are part of a Body. To cut yourself off from meeting with other believers is to cut yourself off from the various ministries the Holy Ghost wants to do through others and through you. I know of no example of a lone ranger in the New Testament. Stranger

I believe Christ gave the answer to this Himself in (Matt. 13:10-11). Though the parables in (Matt. 13) pertain to the 'Mystery form of the Kingdom', I believe His answer speaks to all parables. "And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He...

I do know the difficulty of finding a church today. But, it doesn't have to be an organized group. It can be just you and others meeting together at your house or theirs. Of course as we get older that gets more difficult as many we used to meet with have died off or gone other directions...

You love to use the Scripture that you agree with. You despise the Scripture that disagrees with you. And when one brings up Scripture that disagrees with you, then they must not know Jesus. That is quite an accusation. Stranger

Many in the denominations you separated from are in Christ also. You were in Christ when you were in a denomination also. When you left a denomination you didn't leave the Body of Christ, didn't divided the Body of Christ. You just left that particular denomination. So, you see...

If he had valid points why is there a need to forgive? Stranger

You separate due to doctrine. The people you separate from will be saying the same. You are part of the Body of Christ. So, to separate yourself you create division in the Body. Understand, I am not against separating due to doctrine. I think it is correct to do so. And that is how...

There is no problem with (Phil. 2:6-7). It becomes a problem for those who reject the Trinity. Rather it becomes a problem with those who do not believe Jesus is God. That Jesus is God in the flesh, does not rise or fall with (Phil. 2:6-7). Stranger

Which is the same way denominations begin. Don't say you separate from them yet don't divide. Stranger

Where did you make up this quote? If it is not a true quote, then you are lying....again. Stranger

Why do you ask me stupid questions when I gave the verses that address what you are asking? Oh, that's right, the Scriptures are only for your use. They only are beneficial if you use them. Oxymoronic. Stranger

And when you separate yourself from any denomination or group of believers, you do the same thing. You create division. So, what do you do now? You have caused division in the Body of Christ. Stranger
