    Accretions

    I could also say that all Churches have some true doctrines. I have read through various denominational handbooks and have found no groups with all true doctrines. Those books only cover groups with 5000 or more members. There are thousands of small groups. We would hear about them if they had...

    Sermon on the Mount

    The points are what Jesus said. For example, "Blessed are the merciful for they shall receive mercy." So if we want to go to Heaven, we need to hear what Jesus says and do what he says, regardless of what others are doing to the contrary.

    Born again

    Hearing what Christ says and doing what he says is faith. So yes we live by faith.

    Accretions

    My perspective is that every single Church group in the world has some false doctrines. We as individuals should pray and ask God for wisdom and knowledge, so we will know the true words of Christ. I think the world could end within the next 10 years, although of course I don't know when the...

    There is one baptism.

    The one baptism is the water baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus. You sound as if you do not want the Spirit baptism. You don't want God in your life.

    Are you saved because you believe? Or do you believe because you are saved?

    I am saved by grace through faith. God chose to save me before he made the world.

    Tongues and the Signs and Wonders Ceased, here’s why

    Thanks for offering encouragement. I currently take chemo therapy. It has worked wonders to take away the pain and reduce the cancer. I thank God for that! However there is no known cure for this(pancreatic cancer). Most people do not live 2 years. I have lived more than 14 months with it. Only...

    Tongues and the Signs and Wonders Ceased, here’s why

    It would be nice to meet someone with the gift of healing. I have a really bad case of cancer and sure could use healing right about now.

    Tongues and the Signs and Wonders Ceased, here’s why

    Far fewer people speak in tongues than the number who claim to speak in tongues. People who truly speak in tongues do not know what the Spirit is uttering (saying). This is why there is a need for the gift of interpretation of tongues. This should be obvious about tongues on the day of Pentecost...

    Are we now saved, or now called?

    Some folks believe that Jesus exist, but they do not know that he is Lord and must be obeyed in order to go to Heaven. They think doctrine is a list of options from which they may pick and choose as they like. Church should be where everyone is friendly and all smiles. We who are being saved...

    Are we now saved, or now called?

    Hello! I am new to this forum, but have a burning in my heart that will not allow me to be silent. We say we are now saved. I say that sometimes but Paul, for example, stated that we are not in Heaven yet. I believe we are being saved. Jesus said, "Many are called but few are chosen"...

    NIV, NLT, CSB or ESV

    Gifts of the Holy Ghost

    God gave me the gift of tongues and interpretation of tongues. I pray with the spirit and with the understanding. Many Churches do not do what Paul told the Church at Corinth to do concerning spiritual gifts. Many of them have not studied 1st Corinthians, even if they claim to practice the...

    ESV, although I sometimes check other translations. I also check with Greek language reference works when I have concerns with a translation.

    what happens when holy spirit comes upon you?

    I saw the Lord Jesus Christ in the year 1982. After a Church meeting I walked to a park beside the river Suwannee in the town of Brandford FL. I sat there at a picnic table and was feeling very down because I thought my life was not accomplishing anything. Suddenly the Holy Spirit came upon me...

    The dispensationalist preach a false gospel. Their leaders are out to collect money, so they appeal to the flesh.

    The Jews; a Religion, or a Race?

    The word race is used in communication. It refers to 3 distinct groups. European, Asian, and African. It can also be used in describing peoples of mixed ancestral background. It is sometimes used to describe people of a particular religion. So it is only a matter of proper grammer.

    What is your opinion on the 1st resurrection and the thousand year reign of Christ?

    The first resurrection is being born of the water and of the Holy Spirit. That is water baptism in Jesus name and the baptism in the Holy Spirit. The next resurrection should be pretty obvious
