Well then think of a "Hot Topic" for goodness sake!

Jesus attended synogague all His earthly life. He went to Jerusalem once a year. Even when He knew it would mean His death. "Where two or three are gathered in my name"... THAT is church. Jesus was the best psychologist ever and He knew that if we did NOT attend a church we might wither and...

I don't speak OF others. I speak TO persons. If I say something about someone else, I cue them in with the ever so popular @ sign.

I came here to connect with other believers. I live where there are no protestant churches and I miss speaking to those who believe as I do. Then I realized there were so many odd beliefs. Odd to me because I went to two pretty mainstream churches. Simple yet well-founded. So I just give my...

I don't think @tabletalk is calling GOD a liar. God does not lie. God desires us to find a church we like and attend that church. But posting this will do no good for you. I've learned that. You're entitled to your opinion. You should not try to convince others, however, which includes new...

Yes mj, you've show how much you don't care for church or religion. I did not put words into your mouth. So you should not expect that I would do it in the future, as you had said. I usually understand persons pretty well...

Once again you express your dislike for churches and then you tell me I put words in your mouth. How much clearer could your dislike of churches be? The empty vessel needs to be filled with something? With what? Our own idea of what God is like? We each make up our own exegesis (known as...

BG Persons that don't go to church are not church-haters. Those that preach against going to church, are church haters. Those that say that churches only confuse us and are of no value. That we should stay home and read our bible and have no inter-action with other Christians. This is not what...

I also don't know why you dislike churches so much. I went to two different churches: Catholic and Nazarene. What color is MY stick that got stuck in the paint? Just because we LEARN, does not mean we also do not know Jesus. How come YOU can't understand this? Really. Why is it proudful to...

Amen.

I agree. I think... Jesus said to do this, so we should. That's the bottom line. And, yes, it shouldn't be done on a routine basis.

I said it is also more than that. Hope you read all my posts here. (I never even got an alert for this post. Sorry.)

I agree with your premise, but disagree as to being face to face with Him. I haven't seen Jesus lately. I do agree that we're members of His Body, the Body of Christ. But that is NOT the glorified body. I believe you're speaking about two different concepts. The glorified body belongs to...

I'm not sure what you mean. The glorified body belongs to Jesus. It's the same body WE will all have when we go to be with our Lord. There is: Justification Sanctification Glorification When Jesus returned to the Father after the resurrection, He had a glorified body. Never to get sick again...

I could live with that. I just hate when it's called a symbol. I'm sure we all realize it's an outer sign of an inward change, but Jesus did make it sound so much more important... That's what I'm saying...

Well, IS baptise a picture of them? The verses I posted say the we died with Him to be reborn with Him. Romans 12:1 says that we are to present ourselves a living sacrifice. Is that only symbolic too? A part of us does die when we become born again. The part that served satan. I don't know...

In post no. 9 CharlesC thanks everyone, I don't know if he'll be back. I understood that the PASTOR wanted to keep baptising everyone till something or other was gotten right. CharlesC and wife left the church because they felt this was not biblical. The new Pastor said, baptism is just...

Romans 6:3-4 Romans 6:3-7 3Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might...

There IS something magical about baptismal water. Did your baptism mean nothing to you? You DIE in that water, and are RE-BORN. It is water that brings life. It's also a sign that you desire that life. John baptised for the forgiveness of sin. Jesus said to baptise for power. This water which...

It's not biblical. I'd run so fast from that pastor your head would spin. What does he mean "get it right"? Does he not know the correct form? LOL
