    John Bunyan was No Calvinist

    John Bunyan was a non-conformist. He said in his works that, "sometimes men call me Anabaptist," but he never claimed to be one. He was what we would call today non-denominational. John Calvin.... 1. Was out to control and to dominate - John Bunyan was not 2. Would kill you over doctrine -...

    The Latest on Calvin

    "Whoever shall maintain that wrong is done to heretics and blasphemers in punishing them makes himself an accomplice in their crime and guilty as they are.

    Failed Prophecies

    And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half.” –Daniel 12:7 From a folio cataloged as Yahuda MS 7.3g, f. 13v: "So...

    The Evils of Cessationalism

    To preach Cessationalism is to also bring back to life the old spirit of the Sardisean church age.... Which is basically (let him that read the prophecy understand) a denominational name along with a spiritual deadness. But... The John Bunyan guy pictured in your signature was not Sardisean...

    The Evils of Cessationalism

    To preach Cessationalism is to breathe more life into the spirit of the Laodicean church age.... Which is basically (let him that read the prophecy understand) materialism, coldness, luke-warmness, carnality, unbelief, and that which makes the Lord sick enough to his stomach to spew religious...

    The Evils of Cessationalism

    The Evils of Cessationalism

    Is doctrinal thought spiritual experience? We Pentecostal Holiness teach Saved, Sanctified, and Filled with the Spirit..... But have we been Saved, Sanctified, and Filled with the Spirit?
