...so do you think that Barnabas lost his way somewhere??? :huh:

Acts 15 36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and visit the brethren in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are.” 37 Barnabas wanted to take John, called Mark, along with them also. 38 But Paul kept insisting that they should not take him...

He uses marketing techniques and secular management principals to grow his church and teaches other to do the same. He has gone the way of "Kenneth Copeland ministries and others like it. He has changed face of the biblical Church model as we know it into a purpose driven New Apostolic...

One thing that bothers me about the Pentecostal Church at the moment is the direction it seems to be flowing in. I'm not sure whether it has to do with God's calling for the Church or whether they have been subtly influenced by the Warren's and the Osteen's of the day. Ephesians 4 says: 11 And...

God's law is the Law of the Spirit which is found in Christ. It is the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus [at salvation] setting us free from the "Law of sin and death. Romans 8:2. I am referring to the Law of sin and death and the gospel which brings salvation...[not God's law of the Spirit of...

The reality is this...if I went to a Church and prophesied as a stranger to that Church. The minister and leaders have a right to stop me or throw me out. The Church leaders have a responsibility toward the sheep. The office of a prophet functioning in a Church environment is not something that...

Lol! so true....I would love to take a look at the studies you are referring to...and welcome to CyB. Island hopper! :D Well said! Welcome to CyB Forsakenone! :P It would be awesome if we could get the right balance between moving in the power, anointing and leading of the Holy Spirit combined...

Well I do not believe that Pentecostals fall into the same category as Protestants nor do I believe in the rapture of the Church.... but I do believe in the Trinity. ^_^ and I believe in Jesus! Bless ya!

Well thanks aspen that has really nailed it for me...but seriously! Did protestantism come from a revival type move of God as was the Pentecostal movement or reformation? Which to me was about a "protest" move against the universal Church? I would really like to understand this? :huh: Most...

I do not agree that the gifts of the Spirit are no-longer functioning in the Church today. As long as we have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us, these gifts can be made manifest in us at any given time according to the will of God. In reference to 1 Corinthians 13:8-10...the question is...when...

...no I can't see the resemblance and when I get the time, I may go through it.... scary indeed... :huh:

True but not within the context of a Church. The gift of prophecy "and" the office of a prophet tend to function within the Church environment where there is accountability.. This differs from someone who considers themselves in the office of a prophet but functioning outside the "Body of...

Protestants and some Pentecostals also share similar beliefs of the RCC ie: the Trinity...tell me what you believe as a Protestant.

The gift of prophecy usually functions within a Church body subject to the leadership and sometimes in outreach situations. It tends to relate to personal prophecy... or a call to repentance within the sphere of authority functioning in the Church....but not global.

The transfer is based on the fact that we as believer's have been taken from the "domain of darkness" into the "Kingdom of light." This transfer is not an external one but internal. Ephesians 4:17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24.The exchange comes from believing that Jesus took our place of...

Just off the top of my head...prophets in the O/T always pointed toward the coming Messiah and the ushering in of a new covenant. Some O/T prophets were given revelation of last day events. Watchmen watch on the wall for signs of his return. There are many watchmen around the world today but not...

I doubt that even a Prophet of God would know whose names are written in the Lambs book of Life since his job is specific to his calling which, I believe, does not give him access to other areas of knowledge hidden in Christ, since the foundation of the world. :)

Why do Christians categorize Pentecostals as Protestant? I cannot see the resemblance? If it is based on their "roots" then surely Protestants would be called Ex Catholics wouldn't they??? :huh:

I do not think that people are confusing the "Gospel of salvation" and the "law of sin and death." Both are holy, yet one leads to life and the other... death.

Hi newlife, Prioritize each situation in order of importance. Take care of your wife first and pray about the rest. God will make a way where there is no way. Praying for you...
