The popular use of the expression...losing one's religion...means to lose one's temper. To become visibly angry....or to "lose it".

Like those who claim a saved status perhaps?

There is no putting God in a box on this. Some are first baptized in the Spirit and THEN are water baptized. Others receive water baptism first and THEN are baptized in the Spirit. The bible records both. Cornelius and his household were first baptized in the Spirit. We see the opposite...

And who will show them the way? Do you mail a bible to them and think you have been enough of a witness? We are the light of the world....as Jesus says. They need to see Christ in us! THEN they will turn to Christ.

We are called to love all men....and especially the brethren. No exclusivity there. We need to discern the lack in those that don't know the Lord. We are there to help them in their lack....not avoid their lack! Non-believers need us...desperately!

Don't feed the troll.

We also break bread from house to house. We live a community type lifestyle where discipleship is at the fore. We ascribe to a no-name no creed stance that keeps our identity in Christ without the trappings of an organized group. We encourage a life in the Spirit and a fraternal commitment one...

Israel is both a nation and a congregation of nations... Gen 35:11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

Being in the Spirit is about location location location. Jesus went to prepare abiding places where God dwells (In His Father's house). When we are filled with the Spirit we are found there in Him....seated in heavenly places. The kingdom of God is where His presence is experienced. For now it...

As with any human response it has both good and bad connotations. To the good we see a deeper understanding of the purpose of God coming forward that helps in the strengthening and anchoring of the church into the type of holiness we are destined to show forth. On the negative side we are...

What he said!

We can also walk with Jesus post-resurrection. So why spoil all those private lessons with Him with more narrative? ;)

...be completely misunderstood...

The kingdom of God for us is the spiritual life in the place where God resides....in Zion. The church is a gathering of people who are to reside IN Christ and proclaim the kingdom life. We preach the kingdom by testifying of the power to live in reconciliation and fellowship with God Himself...

I think this is the root of the problem. The above statement is not true. It is a man centered understanding. Of course God wants all men to come into conformity with His will...and thereby live, but salvation for salvation's sake...no.

Rahab could have been both!! Small town diversification???

Christianity is not absorb-able by the human mind. It is based on the revelation of Christ to an individual. Spiritual discernment is required to understand the scriptures but this comes in fits and starts...not all at once. The purpose is not to fill the mind...but to give a timely instruction...

Doesn't God give sunshine to those destined for life as well as those destined for death? He gives good things to all....without bias. Do you really believe what you have said here? The disposable structure is building with a human understanding ... a carnal understanding. All the works of the...

He was DEAD according to his father. Luk_15:24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

There is indeed a place of dishonour for those who cannot keep their garments pure. We are to watch and pray and have oil ready in our lamps lest we be rejected. The Laodicean church was warned it would be spewed from Jesus' mouth... There are 2 judgments...one for the house of God and one for...
