How many Baptist Board members does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: Just one, but they must have Christian counseling experience and the light bulb must want to change.:) Bonus dyslexia version. How many light bulbs does it take to change a Baptist Board member? Answer: Usually, just...

Warning. I may define spaghetti westerns a bit differently than you do. For me, they don't need to be made in Italy, or even directed by an Italian director. As long as they are made cheap and in the flavor of the typical spaghetti western, as far as I'm concerned, they qualify. --Good, Bad...

Correct me if I'm wrong on any of the details. It's something I ran across recently and I'm running it across you Baptist board dwellers. I believe that the same word translated 'elect' in Matthew 24:22-24 is also used in verse in chapter 22:14 with the word "chosen". Matthew 22:1-14 provides...

https://www.middletownbiblechurch.org/tongues/tongues9.htm Print that link out and keep it on file, as it does a great job in laying out the Biblical foundation for languages as a sign of God's judgment. Yes, tongues is just a sixteenth century word for languages. Why it's in modern...

Is there such a thing? Is there a connection between Baptist onlyism KJV onlyism? Dave

The New Testament Begins in Acts Not Matthew When you read the Gospels in the Bible, such as Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, do they sometimes seem to contradict other parts of the New Testament Scripture? For example, in Matthew 6:15, Jesus said, “If you refuse to forgive others, your Father...

High self esteem in the world of the new psychology seeks to eliminate the guilt of our conscience that results from sin. Unfortunately, this is exactly what many modern day preachers teach when they exclude from their preaching anything that may offend, like preaching on sin. Spurgeon...

It could be a flag, or a background on a sign. These are not Christian churches, but liberal churches. You won't find Jesus there. They will come as angels of light, though. I've seen a few in my neck of the woods already. The one in this youtube video is claiming to be a Baptist church.

Did you know that Mennonites are anabaptist? So are Amish, for that matter. My family, at least partially comes from Pennsylvania Germans, who were also known as Pennsylvania Dutch. Maybe they were Amish. Anyways, spiritual warfare is a battle for the mind. Satan likes to use death by a...

We wrote this post next week!!

My reply to Alan Dale Gross, who said: Peter mentions two baptisms here. The one that doesn't save, water, and the one that does, Spirit, is strongly implied. 1 Peter 3:21 There is also an antitype which now saves us--baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a...

Quite frankly, it's probably impossible to completely understand it. But if we hold true to the boundaries of Scripture, I believe we can have a Biblical understanding of God's sovereignty that, while it does not answer every question, it does lay boundaries to our understanding of it. I believe...

Stupidity, the word that Bonhoeffer used. I would describe it as creating ideal conditions for willful ignorance (stupidity) to thrive in. But it's more than that. Basically, he's describing how the sinful nature of man, coupled with our desire for the path of least resistance, which could be...

The reason I'm asking is because the faith that is called "not from the flesh", and "a gift from God" where Jesus is the "Author and Finisher" always seems to be speaking of the ongoing, and not the initial faith. Romans 1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith...

Hades simply means realm of the spirits. Since the NT was translated into Greek, Hades was the word that best described Sheol from the OT. The idea of Hades comes from Sheol in the OT, not Greek mythology. In short, OT Sheol is translated Hades in the NT. I've always said that Satan loves to...

No, I ate them. ;) But on a more serious note. The word 'baptize' in Scripture means to place into, to immerse into, and to dip into. The word baptize describes an action. The agent of baptism, or the baptizer, are not part of the definition of that word. A common mistake that people make is to...

Normally I don't get caught up in this kind of stuff. Usually I'll just assume that it's fake. But I'll admit, this one was intriguing. It's not a sermon, in fact it's not teaching any doctrines at all. It's a heartfelt personal letter to His brother. Maybe it's just somebody trying to make a...

1 John 5:1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. This passage is often quoted as proof that one must be born again to believe. I think this mistranslation was pointed out very eloquently by Dr. Sam...

This is one of a few proof texts used to prove that man must be born again before He can believe. The problem is that this text doesn't actually say that. John 1:12-13 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were...
