Why I Am Not Looking for the Rapture For generations now, many Christians, especially in America, have been taught to expect a sudden “rapture,” a secret snatching away of the Church before tribulation falls upon the earth. The uncertainty of exactly when this great calling away is to happen...

Thanks again for responding. I believe that way about many different Christian sects. If a person has the right relationship with Christ, that is what matters to God. Having errors in doctrine or misunderstandings about scripture is not something preventing a person from being saved.

Thank you for your reply. I am not that familiar with their doctrines. I know they believe that being baptized in Jesus name (only) is part of their teachings. I know some Assembly of God churches insist that speaking in tongues is a sign of a true believer and my neighbors have a real...

Question for you. My next door neighbors are United Pentecostal and, of course, that makes them Oneness. They show all the fruits of the Spirit. They are at our house daily to pray for healing of my wife whose health is quickly failing. Would you say that their confusion over the Trinity puts...

I am betting Jehovahs Witness. JW'S and Oneness just holding the Arian heresy. I am finding there really aren't any new heresies, just reinvented IE: New Age=Pantheism

You could be right

Wow, apparently I was very tired while typing that last post! Too late to edit unfortunately. Traditional Mennonites have a desire to keep away from a lifestyle that can lead to sin. There is a desire to stay separated from the 'way of the world' but still be a witness to those living in the...

Good points. We have community's of Old Believer Orthodox Christans that fled persecution of the Russian Orthodox Church long ago. They spend many hours each day in prayer and meditation on the word. They have electricity but no electronics. They dress very modestly and seem to deeply desire a...

For one thing, you would have doctrinal differences with the Amish. Amish believe salvation is understood as a gradual process, not just a single event. It is achieved through a combination of faith in Jesus and a lifelong commitment to obediently living out the terms of their baptismal...

Baloney! (They call it something else in Texas)

Well, the thing is, there’s precedence back in the Old Testament about consuming the bread and the presence of God being in the bread. Back then it was figuratively in the Old Testament. It talks about the L’chaim ha-panim, the bread of the presence or the bread of the face. Well, whose...

So, did or didn't Baptists and other protestants use wine up to the time of Prohibition?

Make sure, Mikoo, you don't comment on ANY thread you happen to come across where you aren't 'a part'. Always thought threads in this particular part of the forum were open for any members to comment. What I really suspect is you don't want any non-Catholic to challenge your rabid...

Yeah, I see your point. The Rev. Kathryn Ragsdale, Dean of Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, preached a sermon: 'Abortion Is A Blessing', since deleted from the web, citing reasons as in your example.

If a person is too stupid to know that a baby in the womb is a person who has the right to life, then they are too stupid to be caring for any form of life, IMHO.
