    Snake-Handlers...

    With my luck I would end up getting bit and leaving this earth a bit early because of it. So I will not be planning any visits north to West Virginia any time soon and will leave the issue up to the West Virginians as that kind of stuff is illegal here in Virginia.

    Snake-Handlers...

    The devil loves to take pr and make a run with it. Which was also held against David in his time.... And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David, The Lord also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given...

    Snake-Handlers...

    The Westboro Baptist church has all but 70 members. Just a little pr and they are world famous. It is amazing the affect pr has on the imagination when in reality these groups are very small!

    A Western Viginia Call for Snakes

    This is hard stuff to research. George Clark Rankin wrote about Robert Sheffey in the 1800's. Besides him there are few other sources outside Jess Carr's Saint of the Wilderness. I like George Clark Rankin as he captures the spirit of the old Southern Methodist of his time... The Life of George...

    A Western Viginia Call for Snakes

    Before Sheffey would pass away he got a letter from the young baby prayed for in the original post.... “Dear Reverend Sheffey: I finally got your address from the Holston conference, where I learned you are still listed as a local preacher. I am told that many years ago you sat at the foot of...

    Where Does Faith Come From?

    I don't pray in the name of the trinity anyway. I pray the Father in name of Jesus like the old Baptist taught me to.

    If tongues were to cease at the end of the world, why would Paul need to mention it?

    "He that wandereth out of the way of understanding, shall remain in the congregation of the dead." Pro 21:16 - John Bunyan’s Pilgrims Progress. It is too easy of a thing to wonder out of the way. I hate it happens.

    If tongues were to cease at the end of the world, why would Paul need to mention it?

    John Bunyan's method of a full salvation... In which the witness of the Spirit is picked up at the Porter's House. And how I would teach the doctrine.... 1. Salvation - As the Christian leaves the City of Destruction and makes his way to the Celestial City. 2. Sanctification - At the...

    If tongues were to cease at the end of the world, why would Paul need to mention it?

    Such false allegations make for witch hunts which results in the deaths of innocent people. And this is the way of John Calvin also, who burnt Michael Servetus alive .... "Servetus has just sent me a long volume of his ravings. If I consent he will come here, but I will not give my word; for if...

    If tongues were to cease at the end of the world, why would Paul need to mention it?

    You have no proof of Voodoo. And I would be very careful of the lies I make of others.... But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone...

    If tongues were to cease at the end of the world, why would Paul need to mention it?

    Well... Every Christian belief is a heresy in the eyes of some other. But... The time is short when we find out when the Lord separates the good hearted wheat from the evil hearted tares.
