Thank you Austin. Barna has done great work in addition to Lifeway on polling Believers. It paints a sorry picture of evangelicals too. To me, the real problem we are seeing is how hard Moderates are pushing to define the church as fundamentally modern, misinterpreting scripture or ignoring it...

I am not criticisizing you. Please don't take it that way. I'm just trying to cut off a long and winding debate as usually happens on thed Baptist Board when this topic comes up.

I agree. Before I go, please everyone, if you want to argue whether TULIP is right, please do so elsewhere so as not to derail this thread.

It occurs to me, that a big part of the brewing war between conservatives and moderates in churches is due to how women are viewed. Women and men are spiritual equals both blessed with eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. However, men and women are to serve different gender roles in the...

Big if, but if the polls are remotely right, this will be a tough election for President Trump to win. My big hope now is retaining control of the Senate to avoid court packing by the Dems.

I found this recent blog post by John MacArthur on the state of the evangelical movement. Is the Evangelical Movement Really "Evangelical"? A big question to me after reading it is, "Do evangelical churches need a new Reformation?" What can we as Believers do in a kind of brewing civil war...

Sorry, I was trying to communicate that Sunday morning was always about the high production value. IMO the money is better spent on charity and missions. Let's focus on the Word and God over entertainment.

They are conservative theologically, on average. Pentecostals and Charismatics subvert the Faith by what they add (The so called Baptism of the Holy Spirit) not what they try to argue against. Also, I have found every Charismatic church I have ever been to makes so much about the Sunday 'show.'...

Yeah, I was a Moderate Baptist into Charismaticism. I become a Christian four and a half years ago, and then join this board a few months later. I kept some of my wayward Charismatic ways, but the Holy Spirit's discipline and you guys here got me out of That stuff.

I was a Moderate Baptist before being saved. I would be amazed if any of those at a Moderate seminary I attended were saved. There is almost no difference. Liberals and Moderates interpret the bible almost the same. Moderates reject conservative hermeneutics and conservative biblical studies...

I was a Moderate Baptist before being saved. There is almost no difference. Liberals and Moderates interpret the bible almost the same. The term 'moderate' is a ruse.

That's what I heard. I figure President Trump takes Ohio and Indianna. Only two real candidates in the Midwest otherwise, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Those are turn out wars. If Trump takes both, he wins and done deal. If he loses both, he likely loses the election. If he wins one, he can still...

Ok, I retract my comment. His reasoning on NPR doesnt fly. I just believe what I believe wholeheartedly until people confront me with evidence. I am willing to back down fast when proven wrong. I think of it as a good thing to do since Proverbs teaches us that those that take rebukes well are...

Thank you for understanding. Hopefully, if Biden wins a White House doctor will closely monitor his clarity of mind. I do understand where you are coming from, and it is something that must be monitored if he wins.

Amen...politicians are rarely people of profound faith and love of Jesus Christ. Not every politician is like that, but so many it doesn't allow the solid Christians to do much.

I understand, I will agree to disagree. Mainly because as a disabled man, I consider more disabled presidents to be an honor to disabled people. Then again, Biden was reluctant to kill Osama bin Laden IIRC. So, I have more trouble with Biden's reasoning than his potential disability

My laughter icon is not showing up, but that was funny.

My bet is President Trump carries southern swing states like Florida and loses suburban Midwest states like Pennsylvania he carried last time. Election is a week away, I'll see if I'm right or wrong soon.

Ok, he did gaffe a bit. I get that. I have a disorder that can cause a kind of mind fog at times. I will not judge a person for getting a bit mixed up at times like me. If I can cut it as a military analyst, I think Biden can be a strategist. Just my opinion.

Looking at it, based on polls and intuition, I predict: Biden/Harris win presidency House stays in the hands of the Dems, who may get some more seats, not that many though. Senate stays Rep by 1 seat or goes 50/50.
