Don't blow a gasket, Cathode! This video explains it better than I can, although I can add to it. It's only 1:53...

Have you ever met another believer while out and about, and they ask what denomination you claim? It's tough being a IFB believer. I tell them I'm a Baptist. They ask, what type of Baptist? I say, I'm a independent fundamental Baptist. They ask, are you a Calvinist? By the time I explain why...

I certainly can't fault you there! A denomination in the way I see it, just represents what you believe. We are all, or should be followers of Christ. But I can understand your separation from this maze.

We agree, and most here have no problem understanding this. These things that concern our salvation should be the topics of our discussion. That is the #1 thing I'm interested in, but we all get carried away with the things that don't even concern our salvation, while some are not leaving this...

Yes, I believe many Catholics are saved, but they are the ones who recognize that faith alone in the finished work of Christ is the only means of salvation. Even the commandment of water baptism, when made a requirement for salvation can be turned into a work and cancel out the Grace that...

No, it's basically a correction of Covenant Theology, and it didn't begin with Darby as many suppose. It was evident in the Church fathers from as far back as the 2nd century.

Thank God for Martin Luther, John Calvin, Huldrych Zwingli, and several others. No, they were not right about everything as we are not, they even disliked one another in some cases, but they did what God gave them to do, they pointed us back to Christ by seeing the many faults in the Church...

Furthermore, this is how the Word of God was kept from the people as the RCC gained it's foundation and the RCC continued to keep the Word of God from the people until the Reformers came along. This is why the Catholic people are so brain-washed and don't understand when we explain what they...

Yes, I do tell. The Church apostatized and God's Word was withdrawn from the people. The reason the Dark Age came about.

Happy to see you recognize the martyrdom in the letter to Smyrna. The 10 days of persecution is believed to be the 10 waves of persecution the Smyrna Church suffered from 100 ad - 300 ad. Christ said He knew their poverty but they were yet rich, they were spiritually rich. The Church at...

Just to throw in my 2 cents worth, I believe that from the 6th hour (12 noon) to the 9th hour there was darkness over all the land. During these 3 hours our Lord was imputed the sin of the world, past, present, and future, bearing the sin penalty for mankind. I believe the Father hid His face...

@Cathode Have you ever viewed the 7 letters to the Churches in Revelation through Dispensationalism? Each Church represents a specific time in history with the first letter to the Church at Ephesus being the 1st century Church (closing around 100 ad) the Apostolic Church. The second letter...

And the other side of the coin? We believe the Scripture proves the heresies were committed by the Church evolving into apostasy.

You're a nice guy, Cathode, and I like you and agree with some of the things you believe. But I don't agree with the general theology of the RCC. We try to show you why, it's not like we don't have a reason.

I've said it many times over the years, God is in the sending business. The book of Acts is filled with, "and God sent..." And the sending was with a specific purpose to take the Gospel to someone.

My conversation on the matter was before the Cross, even the soon to be apostles didn't understand the Gospel. After the Cross I agree the decree came that faith in Christ and what He did was demanded and that knowledge came through the Gospel.

Traditions of men, totally ignoring Scripture! Col. 2:8 "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."

The moral to this story, lol, if you find a concept between the lines in Scripture, Don't present it to JonC, you may get your feelings hurt!

I believe that many Churches in America would not accept Paul's rebukes.

@Cathode You really need to understand what Paul was talking about In Acts 19:1-7, when he asked those 12 men if they had received the Holy Spirit since they believed. I'll explain it for you, bear with me. Acts 19:1-7 "And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having...
