    Christians have danced in church ....

    I don't mind it so much when he does it to his own threads but these long films really slow down my whole system when I am on such a thread. This is where a moderator should step in.... Hindering discussion is at the least impolite. At the worst it's...?

    Christians have danced in church ....

    My dancing at church has always been more like the way King David danced. I've been doing it for many years. I have not been taught the steps by any man but everyone who has watched me has says that my steps are quite distinctive. Strange thing is that I never even attended a single dance when I...

    Once Saved....always Saved - Results of Questionnaire.

    Did I open a can of worms? We cannot deliver while we are all alone. But what Jesus provided was the means for us to deliver by surrendering ourselves to God. This is also an impossibility for man alone. We cannot surrender completely so when we try to do it alone, we fail. So then we ask for...

    Whatever happened to the simple Gospel message on salvation and heaven and hell?

    But when I heard about it, I know there was no Public Internet to search for the source. It have been available in the public library but I never in those day bothered to look it up. Supposedly from what I had believed it was based on the Bible. It was a long time before I began to learn for...

    Dream And Vision Interpretation

    I am certain there is something in it with regard to my present local church situation. So does my wife. When I get the time to write a PM to @Hidden In Him I will direct it you as well so you can see what is happening now. Things are changing but I still don't see where it is that I am going...

    Dream And Vision Interpretation

    No, I don't believe so. I posted something in favor of what you were doing. Over the years I have had several dreams from God, but the last one occurred before I was on this forum and I would have trouble recalling of the details. It probably is saved on my computer but I have thousands of...

    Absolutely! It looks to be a good opinion, whether he is really godly or not. It certainly would not be the first time God has used an ungodly man before to accomplish His purpose.

    @Hidden In Him Thank you for spending your time. I will be waiting whatever the Lord may give you on it.

    Whatever happened to the simple Gospel message on salvation and heaven and hell?

    The delusion comes when a person fails to love the truth or loses that love. I believe that Jesus is the Truth, but how well does each of us know Him? If we are growing as we should be growing we will be coming to know Him better each day as we know Him better our love should refocus on our...

    Once Saved....always Saved - Results of Questionnaire.

    By God's testimony I assume you mean the written scriptures. I am OK with the scriptures, but how many denominations exist today that proclaim that they are based on those scriptures yet on numerous points disagree sometimes sharply effectively to the point of saying if you disagree you are dead...

    Dream And Vision Interpretation

    I have no titled position. I preach and teach the Bible as the Lord calls me. For a long time it happened once or twice a week, but due to complications and a misunderstanding I stopped in April of this year. This past Sunday A.M. I preached for the first time since April. I can give you more...

    Once Saved....always Saved - Results of Questionnaire.

    Our problem is then greater than that since what you call the Word of God would almost certainly be different than what I call the Word of God. But God understand both of our viewpoints better than we do.

    Whatever happened to the simple Gospel message on salvation and heaven and hell?

    I learned about it as I was growing up as I did about the devil being a red guy with a long pointed tail, horns and a pitchfork. Long before I had ever owned or read a Bible I knew those things. Probably so did every kid in the schoolyard. Where did we get it from?

    Whatever happened to the simple Gospel message on salvation and heaven and hell?

    Ah so! I should have known! Burn off all of the garbage and clean up the good stuff. Is this what hell is about? Of course, it there is nothing good there will be nothing left when burning up is complete.

    Whatever happened to the simple Gospel message on salvation and heaven and hell?

    I'll not say nay because it may upset someone or then again, heaven forbid, I could be wrong. How do we turn up the thermostat for you?

    Whatever happened to the simple Gospel message on salvation and heaven and hell?

    But the delusion to which I refer is not one that most of the social workers in my experience could fix: "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong...

    Whatever happened to the simple Gospel message on salvation and heaven and hell?

    You may be correct, but again how well do we understand what we think we understand? Saved to God and His Way or from man and his ways or perhaps both? Is that what you mean? How do we confirm or do we have confirmed for us that the way we are going is not part of a delusion?

    Whatever happened to the simple Gospel message on salvation and heaven and hell?

    @bbyrd009 His problem is that people often, or maybe even usually, don't speak his language and I am not talking about English. All of us who are believers in God and Christ is any real measure also speak in what is an unknown tongue to other believers who are not in exactly the same place...

    Once Saved....always Saved - Results of Questionnaire.

    When it comes to the final decision I would say that it is only that which is written in our hearts and what we have done with it that separates any of us. Without God's help we cannot even see the darknesses in our own hearts much less those of others. This is why we are not the ones to render...

    Dream And Vision Interpretation

    Other than this posting here, I have only told my wife. Other than thinking it relates somehow to our current local church troubles I am do not know. God knows.
