    The Five Points of Calvinism

    Christ's input on the subject, especially as this came out of the Sardisean church age.... Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment...

    How today’s Popular Gospel Dishonors God

    A cold and calloused church service also dis honors God... And whose standing behind that pulpit yawl.... Revered Polar Bear!

    The War Generations

    At age 14, J Vernon McGee lost his dad to a cotton gin accident and his mother moved him and his sister to Nashville, Tennessee. I was listening to J Vernon McGee preach on the virtuous woman this afternoon. He recalls never waking up to find his mother in bed. I had to recall my grandmother and...

    Word of Faith and the Denomination

    I would teach the path to the fullness of God as such... 1. The Outer Court - Justification - Faith to enter in. 2. The Altar - Salvation through the cross at Calvary. 3. The Laver - The clean effects of sanctification. 4. Table of Showbread – Daily into the word of God 5. Light at the...

    Understanding The HolySpirit

    Paul did very little here in explaining or making the people understand the Holy Spirit.... All he did was lay hands on them! And then they experienced the Holy Spirit. Which was much better than the explanations.

    Understanding The HolySpirit

    Understand? The Holy Spirit is best experienced in the heart. 1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, 2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they...

    How do you hear the "still, small, voice"?

    Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. - 2 Timothy 3:5 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. - Acts 6:8 (noting Stephen was not an apostle) And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of...

    Rapture and End Time Beliefs

    The commandment is for all to watch. For we know not whether he comes pre- mid- post- trib. But... If we are to return with Christ to reign a thousand years how are we going to be with him in the first place unless a rapture takes place? For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who...

    How do you hear the "still, small, voice"?

    How do you hear the "still, small, voice"?

    Where in scripture did the gifts expire with the Apostles? And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on...

    Understanding The HolySpirit

    With that said... It is more important to experience the Holy Spirit than to understand the Holy Spirit. Once you experience the Holy Spirit spiritually, the mind will learn from what the heart has experienced. I know too many people who try to understand spiritual words like love, but the...

    Understanding The HolySpirit

    I fell in with the Pentecostal Holiness church not because of the tongues, but because of the people, which were the finest I have ever met in my entire life. Pictured below is Dallas Linkous JR, which is probably the 'shoutingest' man I have ever met in my entire life. As a teenager I would put...

    Rapture and End Time Beliefs

    If you think about it God did not call us to be pre- mid- or post- trib. He called us to be ready for him to come as a thief, at any time, or at any moment. Scripturally Christ could come pre- mid- or post- trib. But it is not God's will for us to know the timing of things, as Christ said... 6...

    Rapture and End Time Beliefs

    1. Christ comes as a thief 2. In an hour we think not 3. In times likened to Noah 4. In times likened to Lot Instead of brimstone or a flood we will have a tribulation. But... The saints will be delivered, likened unto Noah, likened unto Lot. So, be ready for it... Christ could come today!

    How do you hear the "still, small, voice"?

    Discernment - If prophecies, tongues, dreams, or the "God spoke to me(s)", lines up with scripture and is done in what can be sensed as from the Spirit of the Lord, fine. When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord...

    The Study of Revelation

    But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. - 1 Thessalonians 5:4 That scripture does not indicate they are in the dark as intellectually knowing the day. For it says ... 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in...

    How do you hear the "still, small, voice"?

    but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost Key word... as moved by the Holy Ghost... The Holy Ghost still speaks and moved through people today. And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided. For...

    How do you hear the "still, small, voice"?

    Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. - 1 Corinthians 14:39 Forbid not... Don't disallow it.
