    Secure Eternal Salvation

    Denominationalism is a man made construct and we see the damage it has caused to the name of Christ! But we know that the Apostles established churches. Paul established the gentile church and had no one single ruler over it. Now external Christendom may have 2 billion members, but the saved...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    Well given that bishop was just another name for elder, presbyter, pastor,shepherd, Yes there was an elder in Rome before Peter got there as there was a local assembly in Rome. Paul wrote to the church in Rome in 56-57, And Peter wrote his epistle from the jewish group in Babylon c. 64-65 AD...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. 19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. 20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not...

    God's Gift of Tongues Not for Private Use

    Well Gods gift of tongues is not pagan glossolalia, but godly glossolalia! It is used for a different purpose than the great counterfeit used his fake tongues.

    Is this true?

    Well as I hold to New Testament law and not teh Old Testament laws, I believe any nation would be blessed if it followed a godly path. that does not mean it has a special covenant with god like Israel, just that there is blessing in doing righteousness. Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a...

    When to Leave Church

    Sorry but as Paul wrote to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord! When a member of the body of Christ dies, their body goes down, but their soul and spirit go to heaven. And yes jesus is still preparing places for all saints.

    Are the Covid 19 Vaccines Safe? So Many Experts Scientists Saying No

    And so she should not take any of the shots. I have never supported universal shots for everyone. But the spikes are not like thorns or nail spikes, but crown like appendages that a virus uses to attach itself to a cell and then reproduce and infect.

    God's Gift of Tongues Not for Private Use

    Well praying in tongues and "another baptism" are two separate issues. One is biblical , the other is not.

    God's Gift of Tongues Not for Private Use

    Well I always appreciate prayers so thank you! But as for Paul: 14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will...

    God's Gift of Tongues Not for Private Use

    What is your real issue? You are making such a big deal about tongues when Paul never posed such condmenations as you do. I am sure he knew of pagan glossolalia. He was simply giving instructions on the proper how to for tongues! Corinth was a hot bed of paganism and debauchery.

    Are the Covid 19 Vaccines Safe? So Many Experts Scientists Saying No

    Okay you can have your shot! How many are so many? What makes them unsafe? It is not the impotent synthesized protein spike. All the ingredients are not poisonous so what makes them unsafe.??????

    Falling From Grace

    And we must remember that those who trust the law are not saved! Believers can never fall from grace- Remember as it is written 4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. Proverbs...

    God's Gift of Tongues Not for Private Use

    Well you are free to believe whatever you wish, but do not say it is the Bible for I showed you it wasn't. If you want to believe there is no private praying in tongues that is fine! Many don't. But to not so subtly condemn believers and/or accuse them of dabbling in the occult is sin.

    When to Leave Church

    Believe what you wish, but paradise is also Abrahams bosom. And that is now closed. When Jesus ascended He took all the saved souls from that part of hell and brought them to heaven. That does not make them part of the body of Christ.

    Warning about vaccines from doctors and scientists

    No, it is you that is clueless. Budesonide is a corticosteroid and will help to reduce inflammation, not stop it! You need to learn what medications do what. Covid is not an inflammation, it is a disease that causes inflammation! Any steroid that can affect the lungs will help the lungs...

    Warning about vaccines from doctors and scientists

    Wasn't criticizing, using it as a tool to counter someones sarcasm.

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    I agree the churches were in near unity on the majors. Galatians shows there were some places where serious heresy was taking place. Yes word of mouth was teh most common way though letters were being passed around in proximate towns. As for bishops, they were appointed from the people in the...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    The Scriptures themselves. Teh bread and wine from the passover seder were symbols, like all other parts of the meal that meant something. Teh bread was the middles of three unleavened loaves in a trifold napkin. It had to be unleavened, striped and pierced, this is the bread Jesus took...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    A good place to start is the pastoral epistles of Timothy and Titus. Then the greetings and epilogues of many of Paul's letters give all three titles to the local elders.
