    COMMUNION: Does "is" mean "is?" Catholic, Lutheran, Evangelical

    Then IS doesn't mean IS? Or BODY doesn't mean BODY. Of BLOOD doesn't mean BLOOD. How can you really claim it both ways .. Jesus was completely literal, except for the physical part? Where does Jesus say that in those verses? Where do the Church Fathers say that about those verses? I am not...

    Which part of "No, that is not what they believe." are you having trouble comprehending? Of course, you, a Reformed Christian, know more about what Pentecostals believe than someone who attends a Pentecostal Church ... so why bother telling you anything. You already know everything.

    What do Pentecostals believe?

    They don't. You are misunderstanding, but not willing to do the work to really understand. As Calvinists are experts on the Soverignty of God, so are Pentecostals experts on the person of the Holy Spirit.

    What do Pentecostals believe?

    [I tried to explain it to you, but you saw no need to answer my question, so ... ] "Neither will I tell you (about) these things." paraphrased from Mark 11:33 I am not obligated to chase whatever sticks you care to throw.

    What do Pentecostals believe?

    Sorry to answer a question with a question, but in the book of Acts, the followers were promised that they would be empowered by the Holy Spirit when He came upon them beginning at Pentecost. The testimony of the rest of Acts confirms that the believers were empowered by the Holy Spirit after...

    What do Pentecostals believe?

    From my experience, Pentecostals believe in original sin (as it is taught in the Bible, but not the Calvinist logical conclusions based upon those scriptures) however it is not a matter heavily stressed. Each person has more than enough willful sin in their life to need a savior without arguing...

    What do Lutherans believe?

    While off topic, I am pretty sure that Calvinists and Arminians did not get to choose their names either. The irony is not lost on me that even "Christians" called themselves followers of The Way, it was someone else that named us Christians (little Christs).

    Luther and the Jews

    Martin Luther "On the Jews and Their Lies: Part 11" (1543) [snipped due to forum post limit] You can read it and decide for yourself. I think the truth falls somewhere in the middle. Luther was not a racial anti-Semite like the later Nazis, but he advocated against more than just the Jewish...

    Mathew 3:11

    You better not go back and read the OT verses quoted in Hebrews in their original context. If you have problems with my pointing out typologies, the writer of Hebrews will cause you fits. :)

    Why should I let you into my heaven, asks God. How do you reply?

    Technically, being OMNIPOTENT probably means that God tends to ask rhetorical questions. You do realize that the question was just a conversation starter to get at where they placed the faith in their justification, right? It is as good as any other conversation starter. How about "You brood...

    Mathew 3:11

    Yes and no. While the primary reference is indeed the judgement/destruction of evil, there is a secondary function of purifying that which is pure. It was not for no reason that the disciples were instructed to remain in Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit came upon them in power. It is the...

    Mathew 3:11

    Matthew 3:11 was fulfilled in Acts 2 (literally) and is fulfilled every time the Holy Sprit ignites the fire of faith in the heart of a new Christian that believes in Jesus Christ.
