A person can step into a church and listen to what songs the congregation sings and pretty much tell you what they believe in doctrine. The songs of choice that bless my soul are songs of my blessed redeemer who died for me. I care not for songs that exalt man like, stand up for Jesus or I want...

You said, They came to love the Lord, and then you gave a list of thing they did or became involved in that say's to you, they love the Lord. There are many images in these last day's of God, Christ. A image can be material or a image of ones imagination. People fall down before these gods every...

It appears to me in 1 Cor 5 that Paul did not have much tolerance for such a person. In the second verse Paul says the church is puffed up. This church probably didn't want the stigma on it's name due to pride. Paul also said in the second verse that this person needed to be taken away from...

Does not the body which is flesh, that struggles against sin have a nature ? And that nature is to do evil. Gal 5:16-17 This i say then, walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are...

Rom 7:14-25 For we know that the law is spiritual: but i am carnal, sold under sin. For that which i do i allow not: for what i would, that do i not; but what i hate, that do i. If then i do that which i would not, i consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more i that do it, but...

Amen to that.

Most people that practice altar calls also use peer preasure to get results. I have witnessed preachers while giving a altar call zero in on a individual or a group and have the whole church to come to the altar to pray for them and leave the individual standing alone. If it is a teenager, then...

God gave specific instuctions on how the altars under the law were to be built. The altars of today in no way resemble the old testiment altars. If the churches that practice altar worship are going to bring themselves back under the law, they could at least put horns on the corners. LOL

I agree, too many people have been taught to repeat the Roman's road sinners prayer and by doing so, they have been told they are saved. Next thing their told is, the devil will try to make you doubt your Roman's road profession. The bible says in 11 Peter 1:10 Brethren, give diligence to make...

What next ? prayer beads, saint statue's, lighted candles for incense, pictures of Jesus hanging on the walls. The altar has come to be recognized in southern churches as a material object that has saving power. Ask some people how they know if they have been born again. Answer: I came to an old...

Every where in the new testament where the altar is named in scripture except Rev. it is referring to the altars under the law and how they brought gift's and sacrifices as part of their worship. In Hebrews 13:10 the scripture say's, We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which...

In the south (bible belt) a altar is in most of the churches. It is considered by some as a holy thing. To throw the altar out, you have thrown God out of the church. I have witnessed preachers giving invitations to come to the altar and be saved. This leaves an impression that unless you come...

Are altars down at the front of the pulpit in the church scriptural, if not what are there purpose ?

If Christ death on the cross in not efficient for salvation then why pray to God at all for someone to be saved. If the blood does not save, then what does ? Our prayers??? If salvation is left up to man's free will then what good does it do to pray to God knowing he can't control man's free...

A Calvinist had a conversation with a Arminian one day and the conversation went something like this. Mr. Arminian, ask Cavinist, how many did Christ die for? Why he died for the whole world, replied Arminian. Mr. Arminian do you believe Christ accomplished salvation for the whole world so that...

I have often heard people say, whether it be a preacher or a lay person, let God be Lord of your life. Most of these people tell you they are dedicated to the Lord and if you are dedicated then God is Lord of your life. A person that God is Lord of their life is a person that believes God is...

In Ephesians the first chapter you will find reasons why we were elected unto salvation. In verse five if you will put a period after the word before you will read, In love having predestinated us. You can see the comparison in Deut 7:7 when the Lord told Israel, The Lord did not set his love...

Christ was a man of sorrows and aquainted with grief. Sorrows and grief were his constant companions while he was on this earth. While some people might describe someone as a man of joy or a man given to mirth, this man Christ Jesus was descibed as a man of sorrows and grief because man could...

I cannot worship with a person or a group that denies one of the truths of the bible which is eternal savation. How can two walk together except they be agreed. IMO when a body of believers have true fellowship they are bonded by truths of scripture. Arminian theology, which is made up of...

Yes, but songs i used to think were inspired by the Holy Spirit, years later as i looked at the words i could see that another spirit had composed them. Songs like i'll fly away, oh glory, i'll fly away, and turn your radio on and get in touch with God are just wordly gingles to jump start the...
