Are you, then, disagreeing with John MacArthur? "These letters, as you know, are directed at seven churches, actual churches, historical churches in actual cities in Asia Minor. But they transcend their time and space and they become model letters to various kinds of churches that exist in all...

I generally think of the Protestant Reformation as a good thing. In reading over Martin Luther and John Calvin you can find good readings. I also enjoy the Lutheran communion on the rare occasions I partake, and am sure that there are good Lutheran and Calvinist people. I had a book ministry at...

I can follow a teaching as long as the leadership is saintly. John Bunyan wrote enough books to fill three large volumes, and I never read of anything suggesting violence or hatred towards other groups. The Anabaptists during the time I would also classify as a saintly people.I support the...

There is a huge difference! For one thing John Bunyan wrote nothing hateful towards other Christian congregations.

I have read all of John Bunyans works, some 65 books, and have enjoyed them all! Chapel Library The only reference to who he was came from his Grace Abounding book, I believe, in which he said, "Some call me Anabaptist."

I believe he did a good work. I believe the English had an issue with his and Ira Sankeys hymn book sales.

I call them Philadelphia times as we were minus the violence of previous ages. We also were blessed with ministries such as DL Moody, camp meetings, revivals, and the likes . Remembering also Fanny Crosby and the many blessed hymns of the time.

Exploring the wotd Grace.... 1. Hope - Hope is something that we all live for. 2. Faith - The second spiritual constituent is faith, which opens the door to the temple. We must continue to keep our faith up, it is a lifelong thing. 3. Learned virtues - I Cor 13: Kindness, Politeness...

At least we are having dialog. In Europe disagreements were not discussed rather warred against. My favorite author of the time was John Bunyan, who spent many years in prison for going against the state church.

I probably would have elected to be an Anabaptist and would have been persecuted as well. I do not regard the persecution of the Huguenots as a good thing and would speak harsher words towards the Catholic church for allowing it.

I consider my church Philadelphian, in which the word says.... Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out.... - Revelation 3:12 If someone were to accuse me by saying, "But.... Rocky.... Your movement is no longer in revival...." I would have...

Calvin also wrote a book called, "Calvin’s Treatises Against the Anabaptists and the Libertines" which I havent read. All of this to point that Calvin was not at all a kindhearted man. Yes... There were times he was correct, but not in the dealings of his enemies.

John Calvin was also unkind to the Anabaptists.... Do you also go along with that? "In these days an Anabaptist, when he was laying out foolish writings publicly for sale, was at my instigation arrested. You of course know the nature of these people from experience. But I have never been aware...

The biblical doctrine of Salvation... The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved...

I believe the church of Rome came to life in Thyatirean times, and the Spirit of Jezebel was to control and to dominate. As Jezebel killed many of the saints so did the Catholic church in her time.

The purpose of Revelation was to reveal what was going to come to pass.... The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John.... - Revelation 1:1 Which all...

I believe Calvinist are a saved people, are part of the church, and have even enjoyed the teachings of John MacArthur, especially his teachings on the rapture...

Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. - Revelation 3:4 Did John Calvin defile his garments in toasting Michael Servetus? "Neither God nor his Spirit have counselled such an action. Christ did not...

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own...

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. - Matthew 10:22 I believe a full salvation is granted to those who finish well the race set before them.
