Open to all Christians, not restricted to just those who are members of that local church

Meant would it be acceptable to have Christians serve as soldiers and if necessary, even have to commit killings

Think that the biblical response would be to leave that local church if now holding to doctrines were against, instead of staying trying to "reform them"

yet they also hold that God cannot know the future until it actually happens, so would that not nullify Prophecy of the Bible then? And does not God per Bible itself state that He knows all things, and that even if not directly causing them, knows what will be happening? Their view seems to make...

You mean we we excuse ourselves from fellowshipping or participate with others churches and Christians if say were not Baptist? and yet we must make sure that they are living in known sinning without any remorse or repenting, and also that their doctrines are really heresy, not just different...

Inspiration and inerrancy only applies to the Originals, and there is NOT that much difference between CT/TR/Mt greek texts though, as major differences refers mainly to things such as did it state Lord Jesus, Jesus, or Jesus the Lord? And no variants change any major doctrines, as Nas/Esv/Nkjv...

I never liked beer myself, and just like once in a while a sweet wine if eating out for supper, as my family used to go to Frankenmuth Mi for Christmas day, and would order a glass of their sweet cherry wine to go with the food

Very important point that you make here, as if I am around a Christian who has a problem with alcohol, or else sees it totally prohibited, would never order a glass of wine if out to dinner, but wou;d not also rail against someone who wished to order a beer or a glass of wine either, as I would...

God is Omniscient, correct?

Our church once had 4 worship leaders, and each one had a different emphasis on worship, as one was straight church Hymnals, another contemporary, another more "rock", and the Pastors approach was do not criticize, just attend the worship service that best speaks to you

That would be due to the Person and work of the Holy Spirit first

What about the seperation that many seem to practice of not accepting other churches nor beliers if not part of our own community of faith? I agree with you, as think we in the culture chose to not be invoved in the world , and let darkness come in and pretty much ruin it Jesus modeled this to...
