What is "Old Time Religion"

[preacher4truth]

I have not received a pm from Luke...sorry to disappoint you. Just stating what I have observed. Sorry to offend you by continuing to type :type: but you'll get over it. :thumbsup:

Typically when someone who says little comes along to say something, it's wise.

You've broken that cycle and proved it's an exception and not the rule. :love2:

Your input is anything but Christian.

And was totally uneccesary.

EWF -- From other threads, I can see where you don't see where Luke did anything wrong with regard to IFBers; but you don't see anything wrong with what he said about "redneck worship"?

Im done with this arguing crap Don. It's pointless. Brethren do not attack other brethren.

Simple questions, EWF, not arguing. Luke made a comment that indicated he believes redneck worship is somehow less than other types of worship; more than one person found his comment questionable.

Not attempting to "argue"; since you said you didn't see that Luke did anything wrong, I'm simply trying to clarify that you agree with Luke that rednecks need to work on improving how they worship. it's a simple "yes or no" thing, not an argument.

It'd be helpful if, if you agree with Luke, we turned it into a discussion to determine in what ways rednecks need to work on their worship capabilities.

Are you saying that there is hatred for the "Old School" churches that prompted the thread....I did not perceive it that way. Rather I believe it was a commentary on churches that become pompous & arrogant in their "ways of doing things". Now I dont know if I'm accurate in this understanding, but we all have to measure our sincerity in "Going to God" & worshiping sincerely. That I believe was the intent of the post & not a planned attack on any given group.

Now if I can speak to the Old School Baptist Churches.....(1) We have been around for a very long time & (2) our ways can at times appear strange to ....how do I say this...."More Contemporary Brethren." But at the end of the day I hope they realize that we are Christian Believing People who deserve the respect due us & if you do not share that understanding well then thats your problem.:smilewinkgrin:

EWF thanks, I may have taken it the wrong way.

My goal as a minister of the Gospel is to uphold the Blood Stained banner of Christ and declare him Lord of Lords and King of Kings. As I so often tell congregreations when I come to the pulpit, It is not about me or anyone else it is about Christ.

Agreed.

That I believe was the intent of the post & not a planned attack on any given group.

Here's the problem with that summation:

...I expected a vigorous debate and some of our fundy brethren vehemently defending the ideas that contemporary praise and worship is wrong, Southern Gospel or Bill Gaither music is superior because it stems from the sacred "Old Time Religion", etc...

I expected some of our IFBers to rant and rave....

I don't promote the idea that it was a "planned" attack; but the original poster publicly admitted that he expected vehement debate and ranting and raving by a "given group," and refers to those people as "fundy." Planned or not, it was attacking a certain group of the brethren.

--- edited to add:
Then there's this:

It will not be sloppy, unorganized or "red-neck", imo (unless, as I said, that is the best those particular revived Christians can do).

Sloppy, unorganized...but "the best those particular Christians can do".... Does that sound like brethren uplifting other brethren to you?

Thus, I find your statement about "brethren don't attack brethren" to be somewhat confusing. If you truly believe that, then why aren't you correcting Luke, like you're attempting to correct us?

I dont agree that he did anything wrong, but you obviously do so you take your own advise.:thumbs:

Are you kidding? I rebuked Luke once, and have regretted it ever since! It only made him my enemy. (I'm not his.) And I publicaly apologized to him once, but he did not acknowledge it and the thread ended right there--with my heartfelt apology.

It really amazes me how two Baptists Pastors could not work this out amongst yourselves! I'm disgusted with this whole conversation.....done with it & out of here. Good Luck!

Nothing to work out, from my side. I apologized, he rejected. Story over.

And "Good luck" from a Calvinist?

Which is exactly why EWF won't rebuke him and do what is Scriptural. He doesn't want to lose his conditional/fairweather friend. Which really, isn't.

You got a problem with that John?

Oops. I'm busted. He came back. :smilewinkgrin:

John, you're above this my bro. Don't get caught up on it.

Got it....

Got it....

Sorry John....that wasnt a loving remark to you. I apologize.

No problem. :wavey:

If you are going to make it your goal in life to assault me, at least quote me honestly.

Half thrown together worship is wickedness. The Lord deserves our best.

But someone on here said that CALVINISTS tend to be the most arrogant bunch alive so I retorted saying that it is my experience that rednecks tend to be the most arrogant bunch alive.

Have you reprimanded the one who attacked Calvinists yet?

Suggestion....maybe next-time, change the term "Redneck" to "Yahoo".... you will confuse them right there! LOL:wavey:

Honestly.....wasnt a Redneck a coal miner who was fighting for union solidarity in the 40's & so they all wore red neckerchiefs to distinguish themselves from scabs? Think one of my granddaddies told me that story as he put on his red neckerchief to go into the mines when I was a boy.

EWF...

Well, looks like the term "redneck" has been used to refer to both poor white farmers and coal miners, according to this redneck wikipedia article.

What state did your granddaddy work as a coal miner?

Luke2427...

Really now--what is this all about?

Do you really believe people worshiping the Lord is wickedness?

Please explain yourself, if not to me and the members of this forum, at least explain yourself to the Lord.
