    This is basically a Protestant forum and you will find little love for the Popes and the Catholic church here.

    The Identity of the Two Witnesses of Revelation

    I would put the Pope and all the Catholic church within the Thyatirean church age. Her geography and time period is agreeably in Rome. Thankfully only a part of the Christian church and not representing the whole. There are also Messianic, Orthodox, Protestant, and Charismatic to name a few.

    The Identity of the Two Witnesses of Revelation

    And to requote Isaac Newton.... "“It may end later, but I see no reason for its ending sooner. This I mention not to assert when the time of the end shall be, but to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fancifull men who are frequently predicting the time of the end, & by doing so bring the...

    Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice

    12 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; 13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; 14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my...

    Forcing the emotional experience

    As we drove home I did not have much to say, but I listened attentively to the conversation between my uncle and his wife. They were greatly impressed with the meeting, and they spoke first of this one and that one who had "come through" and what a change it would make in the community, as many...

    Forcing the emotional experience

    In the course of an hour I was at my uncle's. He was surprised to see me, but gave me a cordial welcome. The first thing he did was to disarm me, and that ended my pistol-toting. I have never had one about my person or home to this good day. And I never will understand just why I had that one. A...

    Forcing the emotional experience

    The old Methodist used to have an altar service after the sermon, at a place they called the mourners bench. If they could not detect the sweet Spirit they would tell you that, "You don't have it yet come back tomorrow night!" And to let George Clark Rankin tell the story.... "Grandfather was...

    Cut your teeth on the Word of Faith

    I am white and of Scottish descent. In the 1990's our factory hired several VT football players who were all black and of Word of Faith doctrine. In all my years of knowing these guys I have never once heard the first negative word out of their mouth, everything they spoke was faith. They called...

    Cut your teeth on the Word of Faith

    I recommend people cut their teeth on Word of Faith doctrine. ...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...

    The Lost Art of Exhortation

    Bob Jones University did a movie on the old Saint of the Wilderness, Robert Sheffey. And a Baptist preacher was reportedly the man who urged Robert to take up the calling of an exhorter...

    The Lost Art of Exhortation

    Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. - Acts 4:13 In the Pentecostal Holiness church I attend the old folks used to exhort, and the spontaneity of...

    The Lost Art of Exhortation

    After we went home I tossed on the bed before going to sleep and wondered why God did not do for me what he had done for mother and what he was doing in that meeting for those young people at the altar. I could not understand it. But I resolved to keep on trying, and so dropped off to sleep. The...
