    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    . . And I'm just as sure as shootin' that what I just said will be seized upon as a legalist declaration by someone (that is, if anyone is monitoring this thread anymore). . .

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    . . Brother F, You just fell headlong right into the trap that is constantly being set. Because even if you don't take sides in the argument, nearly anything you say that appears to favor one view or the other will be construed as whole-hearted support of an extreme position. It is not...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    . . Oh, with the exception that in this case the Protestant segment of Christianity, in particular, is being blamed for the lawlessness. . .

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    . . It's the same old faith vs. works debate. One side believes the other side believes in legalism, and one side believes the other side believes in lawlessness. . .

    Poll: Tattoo artist: if a Christian daughter/son of yours worked as one, would you be supportive?

    . . Yeah... Heard the story a few times, Farouk. I guess as long as many conversations have come about and she doesn't regret going to the parlor to get inked up, it should be all right. God will probably just deny His own word and respect our decisions. Of course, then He'll have to go back...

    Poll: Tattoo artist: if a Christian daughter/son of yours worked as one, would you be supportive?

    . . Acts 2.42 seems to be all about doctrine and practice, rather than about wholesome and helpful testimony tools.... Wonder if the apostles were into wholesome and helpful testimony tools like "faith-based inkings?" Hey this "Acts 2.42" thing is pretty handy for arguing against things like...

    Poll: Tattoo artist: if a Christian daughter/son of yours worked as one, would you be supportive?

    . . I guess I'm just wondering why anyone would want to vote in a poll that's just a reframing of the question that you ask incessantly. If I didn't know better, I'd think you liked to see people get upset and argue. . .

    Poll: Tattoo artist: if a Christian daughter/son of yours worked as one, would you be supportive?

    . . What do you mean by "It's topical" and "angle of the question?" . .

    Poll: Tattoo artist: if a Christian daughter/son of yours worked as one, would you be supportive?

    . . Acts 2.42 seems to be all about doctrine and practice, rather than about "Christian" tattoo polls.... :) . .

    attacking another denomination are included in this rule.

    . . Yes, I'm sure that's what He was going for—a kick in the pants. Kick in the pants... Attack the doctrine... We just can't seem to make up our minds what the acceptable tactic really is. Of course, we have the 'old age / not sympathetic to feelings' card we can always play. Whatever it...

    attacking another denomination are included in this rule.

    . . Wouldn't know about that. I'm not a denominationalist. I'm not anti-denominational, either. There might be a couple of good ones out there, for all I know. . .

    attacking another denomination are included in this rule.

    . . I was a Baptist for 26 years. Never heard of any accusations of cult beliefs. Just my experience. I wonder why Jesus didn't just come right out and tell the woman at the well of Sychar she was in a cult? Maybe he thought it would feel more like a knife to her than a big gun. . .

    attacking another denomination are included in this rule.

    . . We've had discussions along these lines before. Things are what they are, but anti-denominationalism is not the Gospel, Amigo. It is all the rage, though. . .
