Squirrelism: the habit of wanting to reduce matters to a simple phrase.

To get back to topic I offer this.

Hi, I believe Jesus only set up one church, "all were filled", so all received all, Jew and Gentile and Peter who was given "the keys" declared at tthe outset that this promise (the outpouring of the Spirit, speaking in tongues) was to all whom God would call - Acts 2:4, 33, 39 - perfect! - no...

I believe that the one on the right was the Chief judge of the palestinian national authority, Sheikh Taissir Tamimi. The one on the left was the Chief Rabbi of Israel, Yisrael Meir Lau. I think this is the 2000 interfaith conference in Jerusalem, the mural shows the wailing wall with al-aqsa...

The middle guy is Pope John Paul II ...

Technically, the Israel nation, a foreshadow of the true church. "The Jews" were the nickname of the remnant of the house of Judah after their captivity in Babylon + others who accepted the religion for various reasons. No, you don't "live by signs" you live by every word, and your daily bread...

Why should they be? Is theer a prophecy that they would be? Jesus was there to meet them (or zealous representatives) spiritually on the day of Pentecost. They had beed transported or migrated to Parthia (Iran) & Scythia, among other places ... Peter addresses these people: Acts 2:22: Ye men...

Hi bigape, you are right that salvation is by grace, not any works but Paul also commented: "since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:" (Col.1:16) Many who talk about the grace of God, havn't actually received it, they just think that because they have a belief in Jesus...

Yes, if you are spiritually minded

So basically, denominationalism is apostacy?

Someone made the observation that all "denominational churches" have an earthly headquarters.

Was the first church (in the New Testament) denominational?

I see that my post rejuvenated an old thread, but no-one actually responded to it.

I just found this link to an old web-page. Dunno if anyone wants to comment?

There is one message to Jew and Gentile - all are "in sin" and need to repent, be baptised unto Jesus death, believing that you also need to receive His Life by receiving His Spirit (as detailed in scripture - Acts 2:4, 33, 39; 10:44-48) Judaism is likely to be a hindrance becausde they...

You have to fit this and other prophecies into history. Clearly it's not referring to what is now called "Israel" as that's where they were when the promise was given. Much of the detail of many prophecies, promises and parables concerning the tribes of Israel in these last days cannot be...

“I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,” (2 Samuel 7:10)

Not true, in fact there are passages that explain in more detail what is going on when a person speaks in tongues. 1 Corinthians 14 v2, 4, 14-21 especially. No! "the gift of tongues" refers specifically to the giving of a mesage in tongues in a public meeting of the church, as detailed in 1...

Beware: what calls itself "orthodox" usually isn't. Definition of orthodox: of, pertaining to, or conforming to the approved form of any doctrine, philosophy, ideology, etc. - approved by who? God approved his gospel with specific signs wonders and miracles. AD33 (Pentecost - Acts 2) shows...

I prefer to stick to the way Jesus and the bible puts it: "Believers will speak in new tongues" (it's a promise), all "spoke in tongues as the Spirit gave tehm utterance" when they received him (i.e. it is not a something a person does, no man can! it is a pure work of God), there is "one...
