I'm not sure how this 'cessationist' should see that as a challenge to cessationism. But then I'm only a cessationist out of 'peeve' at not enjoying gifts such as 'tongues' !!:(

Do you not also agree that God, having set in place certain parameters (whereby the whole of creation groans and travails in pain whilst waiting for the redemption of the body, when this mortal shall put on mortality) that, except in special cases of his sovereign choice, he will not negate...

Particularly true of the freedom of Gentiles such as myself: "The Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, in that these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves, showing the work of the law written in their hearts."

Who opened the canon of Scripture, and with what authority?

I know of many mature Christians who, like me, have grown so disenchanted with the many denominations of Christendom that they have concluded that 'the day of churches', might well have passed (at least for them). There is even one denomination that proclaims that to have dispensationally...

IMO God is not limited as to the channels of conviction that he might use; especially when they are the ones that are near and handy, and to which the recipient might be most responsive.......even a 'donkey' (like me :rolleyes: ) for instance!!

It's what I refer to as "constantly abiding" ..... just about the highest, and hardest, aim of my life.

I spent a few weeks in fellowship (to the degree that I was permitted) with our local 'Church of God' (Needed Truth Brethren). Like others their denomination claims to be the only true Church. But eventually I had to face up to the fact that, if after 70 odd years of Christian commitment, I...

Thank you all for the variety of responses (in line with what I hoped). Being the other side of the pond the majority came in whilst I was asleep and that makes it very difficulty for me to find points at which i would otherwise have joined in. Bless you all for responding.....I guess that, on...

Wonderful post.....Thanks John

I accept the point that you make. One purpose of my OP was to clarify (to myself) whether or not my particular long, long, 'Walk of Faith' has been efficacious to salvation. I am grateful to those have posted in support, and accept the views of those, such as yourself, that seem to intimate...

How do I go about the business of trying to ensure that I belong to the "true Church of God"? By accepting that all other believers are as likely to be as partly wrong and partly right as myself.:rolleyes: That way I know that I belong to the only small 'c' catholic (all embracing) Church.

Now that's where I go wrong... big time. I'm always so anti those who experience what I just cannot understand.:(

I'm asking this to further test out my own 'odd ball' situation. I personally have never enjoyed anything remotely resembling a 'Road to Damascus' conversion, and maybe that is because, right back to my earliest childhood memories, I have always firmly believed in God and his interaction in my...

Reaction hasn't been as largely negative as I expected and thanks to those who have dealt kindly with me. (maybe that's because I am now on the 'ignore' lists of many of my detractors) So I'll try another thread, which I'll entitle "Have you ever had a spiritual paranormal encounter?", to...

Almost 5 years have passed since I made an OP in another forum under the following link (Click into it if you wish) livingwater.createaforum.com/general-discussion/is-it-possible/. During that time I've trolled around other forums and experienced quite vicious condemnation re my convictions ...

I guess you will quote that it is only "Many (as distinct from all) who are called. And that of that reduced number it is only a "few who are chosen" Does that not leave the vast majority of mankind without so mush as a 'hope'? If that really were the case then I would, of all men, be most...

"There are more questions than answers. The more I find out, the less I know" 1) What really is the 'Word of Truth'...@Enoch111 is it really "obviously the written Word of God"? Maybe it is ... but written where? On parchment or in the "fleshy tables of a believers heart"? (Jeremiah...
