I believe people could identify with pastors and people in authority if they showed real emotions when they are suffering and going through a valley like all of us do, instead of putting on fake smiles and acting like their life is on cloud nine all the time. Usually these put on people preach a...

I disagree. Some people make it a point to put on a holier than thou attitude when they go to church. I read a article on Joel Osteen when he first started preaching and he said his face actually would hurt from holding his grin while he was in public. I read a article online last night about...

I read the article and it does answer a lot of questions.:thumbsup:

Tell them you will meet them halfway if they will run a little hot water in the tub.:laugh:

Some Baptist churches in my area will not take letters of recommendations from other Baptist churches but require you to be re-baptized. Not all Baptist believe exactly the same.

And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, 26If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and...

Except a man be born of the water and of the Spirit. When a person is born of the Spirit, in your oppinion is this transformation of recieving a heart of flesh, recieving life from the dead (1) A work that is realized at the time it happens (2) Can only be proven by ones self by bearing fruit of...

I was raised up in churches that gave altar calls. The main reason the practice of the altar call invitations is still in use is because the belief of a sinner showing repentance and humbleness by coming to the front and praying, and It is a opposite of easy believism to some churches because...

I think the three parables are one and the same, the lost sinner being saved. A sheep although out of the fold till he is found was never a goat.

There are some churches that are pretty strict about not talking a sinner up from the altar. They believe this is the time to leave them alone to seek God in prayer. IMO there are a lot of distractions at a public church altar. A lady told me after she had went to the altar, she couldn't get her...

In my area the Free Will Baptist, The Baptist, Congregational Methodist, Non Denominational Churches have the long bench type altars in front of the pulpit. The communion table set's over in a corner.

I am beginning to see that preaching to the sinner can be a form of counseling. I'm glad i'm not to old to learn.

All of the country baptist churches have altars and they are not the supper table.

A change of mind.

Go south and you will find plenty of baptist churches that have altars.

The sciptures you put up all refer to water as being the Spirit. So that would make the scripture say, Verily, verily, i say unto thee, except a man be born of Spirit and of Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

I plead inocent by reason of intrapment.

I think the churches that practice altar calls are people that have been taught to pray for their own salvation un- aided by counselors. Charles G. Finney was one of the first to use a altar which he called a mourners bench but his motive was to get a quick response out of someone. I think today...

At my age a thirty year old is a girl.

My wife and i were regular visitors to a church a few years back that taught the Sovereignty of God but they also taught the christian was under no law of God or Christ whatsoever. One of the most immoral things i witnessed at that place was at a church dinner. The pastors wife had this girl of...
