paul told timothy that a day would come when men would no longer give heed to sound doctrine, but heep to themselves teachers having itching ears. it's not about being a one stepper or 3 stepper but about believing the gospel and sound doctrine. you are hearing the wrong voices on this forum. i dont hate anyone, i'm sure that someone will try to say that i do. i want to see everyone saved but i am well aware of the narrow way Jesus spoke of. don't give the devil any ground by listening to the voices of deception. be renewed instead of reformed!

See, I think the same thing when I hear the Apostolic doctrine. I see people who are hurt and stuggelling because of what is preached and the very doctrine they hold as true.

Why do you automatically think that just because someone rejects your interpretation that they have itching ears? Is it possible that your doctrine is wrong?

Good doctrine always points people to the cross and builds people up while bad doctrine always hurts people and adds unbiblical ideas to the gospel.

Amanah--You have to listen to God and Him alone. Voices of men will confuse you. I know what I believe after years of searching and praying and listening to God. Some will not agree, and that's ok.

We consider ourselves diehard conservatives in the Christian world, but compared to some people on here, I am a flaming liberal. So it's all in perspective. I'm glad that God is our judge and not men.

I would never try to convince you what to do or where to go to church. You have to go where you feel God wants you. There is nothing wrong with strict Pentecostalism, and there is nothing wrong with a church that's not so strict if they preach repentance, baptism in Jesus' name and Holy Ghost. The difference is just at what point they believe you have reached salvation. So that's what you have to figure out for yourself.

It definately holds the potential to have a very negative affect on someone's spirituality if allowed. Deception is in high regard by many here.

Said she was visiting an AG church and evidently she is going through some crisis in her spiritual life she doesn't need this forum. I have seen too many good but unstable folks hurt through these type forums. She needs a good home church and good pastor not advise from folks who no longer believe the Apostolic message an have made shipwreck.

i have begun to wonder quite a bit lately whether this forum is actually a benefit or a hindrance to the body of Christ. it has the potential for either, depending on how it is used.

A person has to be settled in his heart...sometimes on any type open forum you will have millions of opinions...I don't let men's opinions direct me or else we become unstable... However we must remember salvation is no thing to play with. On many opinions I don't know where God draws the line. One thing is sure we must work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
Find a good pastor...I am blessed with wonderful man of God in my life.
life brings us many hurts so we cannot base what we believe running from those that hurt us...

Sister Alvear · #**128** 10-11-2011, 01:04 PM

Yes, I remember Chester Hensley...

If we are under godly submission, and have a heart for discussing God in a truthful way we will benefit.

Some doctrines just cannot stand up against biblical scrutiny.

Iron sharpens iron. But...at times this forum seems less interested on sharpening iron than it is on hammering others into oblivion.

Scrutiny is one thing. Refusal to see some thigns that are clear as day is another thing.

Like most forums, many are masters at Eisegesis while claiming exegesis. And it is common on both sides of the aisle. Just learn to eat teh meat and spit out the bones. Or in some cases just refuse to even sit down at the table with some posters.
