What exactly is a "Holy Ghost Machine Gun?" Is that like a ghost gun?

The word of God

Conflating preaching the gospel with pastoring is a common mischaracterization of many who promote women as pastors. Also citing Deborah is again a common argument - neither of which prove your point. Also Deborah didn't lead the army of Israel, that was commanded by God to be a man's job...

"Free grace theology" is a very bad term for, what is in reality, false grace. Grace is absolutely free and given by God. But Zane Hodges, and those who promote his teachings, are anti-christs, they are enemies of God. That may sound scathing, but if you look into what he, and people like grace...

This does not sound like free grace theology. They would say (as another member here does) that fruit does not result from faith, discipleship is optional, and that repentance is not part of the gospel (or they redefine it) and that a practicing homosexual/impenitent will enter the kingdom of...

Liberal churches are fortunately dying off. Sadly seeker sensitive churches seem to be fruitful.

My two cents. It's best to determine for yourself what is best, if you live your Christian life based on others you could easily fall into a legal system, rather than guided by conscience/godly conviction. I speak from experience. That may not answer your question, or be helpful.

I believe I clarified my position in the thread earlier when asked by @JonC, it's available for you to go back and read. I find your last sentence quite intriguing, given your conduct on the board with others who disagree with your theological stances.

I guess he embraces Jws and Mormons as believers? Their denial of Christ's true identity is merely relegated to "incomprehensible truths?" Doctrinal essentials are not at odds with believing in the name of Christ.

Outstanding response!

Ok. So they also hold to a false gospel in the same vein as Hodges. It's really quite telling that every time faith leading to bearing fruit is mentioned you jump into the comments to fight against it tooth and nail declaring that salvation doesn't result in fruit. That is not what God, nor the...

This thread gave me a craving to start watching westerns. Been watching the old poverty row John Wayne movies all weekend.

Best I can figure his theology is fairly close to that of Zane Hodges, which is (falsely) called free grace theology. It is itself a false gospel.
