Needed in the dark ages Thyatira - Catholic - The spirit of Jezebel is to control and to dominate. Sardis - Protestant - A sardius is a gem - elegant yet hard and rigid...

    Strange Fire - A Pentecostal Response

    I find that what I experienced was nineteenth century Methodism that was kept alive long enough for me to get a taste of it... The Methods of 'getting religion' were the same that I experienced... http://www.christianityboard.com/topic/18564-the-life-of-george-clark-rankin/ Excerpts...

    Strange Fire - A Pentecostal Response

    The whole group of that generation was that way. During a good revival the men would pray on the left side and the woman on the right. As the evangelist would pray for people they would fall out in the spirit and sometimes would have to be carried out of church. The gentlemen of this generation...

    Strange Fire - A Pentecostal Response

    I understand (and grieve) that there are counterfeits. But there is also the real thing. The guy below would shout, run the aisles, and speak in tongues. As I put up hay with him I found that this was a genuine joy and love that this guy demonstrated at work, church, and at home I was brought...

    Strange Fire - A Pentecostal Response

    In which, I am a supporter of both the bbnradio and trbc ministries, so I did not say they were not saved or edifying. But... If you want a revival then you must employ your spiritual man as well as the intellectual.

    Strange Fire - A Pentecostal Response

    Dead give aways to tell if someone is of the Sardisean church age... 1. They label anything spiritual as 'emotional' 2. Everything must fit within their doctrinal cofines. 3. They cannot imagine anyone outside of their confines as actually saved. With these three tests reveal your true, blue...

    Was John Martyred?

    Catholic tradition states that after the Assumption, John went to Ephesus and from there wrote the three epistles traditionally attributed to him. John was allegedly banished by the Roman authorities to the Greek island of Patmos, where he wrote Book of Revelation. According to Tertullian (in...

    Strange Fire - A Pentecostal Response

    Well... With we Pentecostal / Charismatics the buck stops here. If we are not walking close to the Lord we have no one to blame but ourselves. No other group to blame! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMxfCVeCt_s

    Strange Fire - A Pentecostal Response

    The biggest problem in the contemporary charismatic Pentecostal church of America is certainly not “strange fire.” It is the lack of fire—Holy Spirit fire, divine fire, the fire of visitation, the fire of Pentecost. Is there some “strange fire” in our midst, some fleshly manifestations and...

    The conversion of Paul - A full account

    I like the conversion of Paul because I experienced the same thing as an unbeliever... I first saw the light of day at a Marine Corps base in Camp Lejeune. My mother was a Marine brought up Pentecostal and my father was a Naval medic brought up Catholic. As a boy I use to enjoy the times my...

    I don't mind debate, but let's not make every forum here a debate forum.

    Time for Congregational Forums

    Well... If we are going to say that the Orthodox and Catholic are welcome here then we are going to get posts regarding their beliefs. I just know if someone tried to post these at CB that people would begin rebuking them for it.

    Time for Congregational Forums

    Of all my years in the Wesleyan Pentecostal church I have not heard the word Protestant or any sermons against Catholics. So I do not classify my faith either way. I was thiking more of a place for people of like beliefs to fellowship. I am not against debate. But there needs to be places safe...
