Yes, of course! My father's family belonged to the Pentecostal Holiness Church always. My mother left him before I was old enough to remember and I became Catholic. Yet in the midst of that Catholicism in California I visited my father regularly during the summers and attended church services...

:) And here I have a smile because I am not trinitarian nor am I oneness according to any organized group. But... because I do not embrace without question, I sometimes find myself under attack on this point or on some other one. Without a revelation how can we know all that God is or is not...

Be careful what you ask for. On many forums where the mods are more involved some of us would not be allowed to remain. This could mean you or it could mean me. It would make the forums as dead as many of the church services which are held regularly by dead people. The zombies are not restricted...

And the Oneness of God is strongly seen throughout the OT and the NT.

And could this be because they either have no Life in them or because they suppressed the Holy Spirit which would have brought Life? Should we expect the dead to perform the works of God?

But that at best is just at the start up. Did anyone ever start with God without a miracle perceived by the physical senses? In any case, once we have started our walk we cannot always be dependent on miracles perceivable by the five physical senses in order to grow. The growth I believe comes...

We certainly need to learn from our experiences, the good ones as well as the bad ones, but that alone will not bring us closer to God. As you say, the witness of the Spirit, but from that point, sometimes we then move in different directions. What is it that we hear?

We need to hear His voice in order to know what is right. Trial and error may work sometimes for some things for men to accomplish men's purposes, but is that the way to walk with God? Is there not a better Way? If we are not hearing God's voice, how can we ever be sure that we are right?

Perhaps people do need signs at times in order to help with their doubts or their lack of belief, but is it not better to be able to simply step out by faith alone? Gideon put out his fleece twice in order to confirm it was God's will for him to proceed. But then remember what Jesus said to...

Listen to God. He has all of the right answers for you even though others may presume to know perhaps more than they do. Simply be always one His of sheep who knows always His voice rather than the voice of strangers. Give God the glory!

Too bad you don't live close by. I would like to have someone who enjoyed discussing the scriptures and things of God face to face. The only one I know lives 50 miles away and only visits every month or two. I live in Oklahoma.

This is why we must already be ready with whatever God needs to have in us. Then being ready, God will use to us according to His need. When we come across a person in need of real help from God, can He use us or will He have to turn to another to keep His promise? "Blessed are they which do...

I don't see partaking in communion as especially wrong any more than it was wrong for people in the OT to bring sacrifice animals to the sons of Aaron at the tabernacle in the wilderness. When we recognize it as no longer necessary or even as in error, our hearts may be convicted against it. I...

Look again at David, who as the scripture makes plain stumbled badly with the murder of Uriah and adultery with Uriah's wife [Bathsheba]. Something people don't often mention is the wives of David? He did have several. Did God or Jesus ever say in scripture it was OK to have more than one...

Some would separate the two things, the eating and drinking as per John 6; and the Lord's Supper, but I do not... at least not in the same way as some would do. The Lord's Supper for me is simply a type or shadow of the real thing. If we sip a bit of wine [or grape juice] and taste a bit of...

While I am in Jesus and in the Spirit, I am free to love Him and to love my neighbor as myself. At times on this forum I have attacked people when I should have had mercy and loved them as Jesus loved them. That was me trying to reattach the chains which had bound me continuously before I met...

What I see is a need for each of us to eat of His Flesh continuously and to drink of His Blood continuously. When we continuously partake then we always have what is needed to resist the devil and to win every battle. How well we use what we have is then up to us. Even if we have all that is...

Thank you for the quote of the NIV, but you failed to answer my question. The saints of the Church are his Body, but what is the new name? ¿Qué es su nombre nuevo? "Al que venciere, yo lo haré columna en el templo de mi Dios, y nunca más saldrá fuera; y escribiré sobre él el nombre de mi Dios...

Then to what does the underlined phrase in this verse refer? "Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven...

Even if you are unable to find one among the groups meeting together supposedly in the name of the Lord which really seeks to follow the Holy Spirit, you are not bound by that unless you allow yourself to be. In worst situation you may need to come out of a group that misses the Lord's way, but...
