Re: Pentecostal Confusion??

The true Biblical concept of Church is so much more than a pinnacle service on Sunday night. I hope that some can see that and get out of the traditions that have plagued the Pentecostals since the...

Re: Bott '14

No, I do not agree that Ephesians 4:24-32 is personal (it is a corporate lesson given to the church by God through Paul), letting them know how to be holy or possess holiness in their life. It can...

Re: Bott '14

There is no such thing as personal holiness. Holiness (by Greek/Hebrew definition) means piety or separation unto God. Paul gave us what true holiness entails in Ephesians 4:24-32 which says:

Re: Bott '14

I went to BOTT a few years back, and yes it is overrated. It is not practical to the audience attending in my opinion. If you have 2,500 - 3,000 preachers/evangelists/pastors why not gear the...

Re: What Will We Become?

There are 2 sides of the fence; those who take away from the Gospel and preach it takes more than faith in Christ (adding extra laws and rules) and those who diminish the "buried with Him in baptism"...

Re: Platform Standards

My wife and I are first hand of this problem in regard to the "holiness standards". They teach them as truth and equally important as Acts 2:38; some even teach them preceding salvation. They do so...

Re: Platform Standards

I was told by my former pastor that my beard was in direct rebellion of his teachings. Since he "prefers" those on the platform to be clean shaven, and it's in the handbook for leadership, his...

Re: Looking for a church

If you are close to Baton Rouge, try Acacia Church. This is a church that is exactly what you are looking for, I know the pastor and he is not only a great teacher/preacher but truly has a heartbeat...

Re: Did you mourn leaving the UPC?

This is how me and my family are viewed by some from our former church. I was told to my face because I don't hold the "external" things that I am not Apostolic and am, in their mind, the same as...

Re: Did you mourn leaving the UPC?

I left a similar oneness organization recently this year and it has been tough. For my wife more so than me since it was her church she grew up in that we left. There are numerous churches who...

Re: All trinatarians are lost!

Most Trinitarians I talk to believe the exact same thing, but instead of the word manifestation they use the word person to describe Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Many of them do not believe they are...

Re: Matthew 7:21-23

It is my understanding in reading this passage that these are believers and are those who are Spirit-filled. As you referenced 1 Corinthians, Paul tells us no man can call Jesus Lord but by the Holy...

Re: UPCI to remove televsion prohibition...

I have no problems with the "platform standards" but I do have an issue when these cross over into every day life. Your example of what your work tells you what to wear and what not to wear is not a...

Re: Bible Study

Re: Bible Study

Re: Bible Study

I think he is referring to incest and sex with animals. These are spelled out in the NT as I mentioned to him before but he doesn't want to see that. Paul took care of incest in the Corinth church...

Re: Bible Study

I am in line with the scripture in doing that for that is what Paul did. He said that he did not know what sin was if it wasn't for the Law. But we are not under the curse of the law but rather...

Re: Bible Study

You are missing the premise of Deut. 22:8, it is not a "building code" but it is a law to put something in place to stop involuntary manslaughter from happening. I will use an example for today - if...

Re: Bible Study

I really don't know what to say to you here, there is no rhyme or reason to your statement about the law. Of course it was the law that told us what is right or wrong. But we are not debtors to the...

Re: Bible Study

I wonder if the Apostle's took the time to teach all the Gentiles in the NT to follow the law? I wonder if they took the time to go through the 10 commandments, 613 laws and all the oral...
