    Denominationalism VS nondenominational Churches.

    Then Lamb was correct when saying that you were mistaken when you wrote this: "Some of the Sacramental Churches proclaim themselves to be the savior through the use of sacraments." Those churches, including the Lutheran ones, do NOT proclaim themselves to "be the savior" and certainly not...

    Denominationalism VS nondenominational Churches.

    You've misread that post. Josiah and I were referring to a church which would keep some of what it believes and teaches off from its websites, presenting only a very basic Statement of Belief to anybody who might be looking for a new church.

    Are we now saved, or now called?

    It's obvious that we are not in heaven now, so this is just a small matter concerning how people choose their words when speaking of the same thing. Unless we're Universalists, that point is also obvious.

    Denominationalism VS nondenominational Churches.

    Well, I've said before that non-denominational congregations do have their own sets of beliefs, but the idea that they hide some of them deserves consideration. And I've said before that these pastors impose their own personal beliefs on their congregants in addition to any creeds, but we also...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    Yes, Jehovah God was referred to as Lord in the OT, and Jesus was addressed as Lord according to some NT verses, but this doesn't mean that there was no Holy Spirit who was God or the Father who was God. That would be impossible to argue, using the Bible, but the Triune nature of our God wasn't...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    Yes, he was God. That isn't the issue. I'd suggest not becoming a disciple of Granville Sharp in preference to 2000 years of Christian history and thought. I hope you know that for every verse you imagine debunks the idea of the Trinity, there are probably a dozen that affirm it. Here's just...

    Your political views

    Hard to say. Democrats have long thought that Hispanic immigrants would favor the Democratic Party because of its support for easy immigration, welfare programs, and so on, but lately the polls have been showing that open borders don't go down so well with Hispanic immigrants because many of...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    Not changing the subject like that, but if someone says that he believes Jesus himself was the Trinity in the flesh, it seems necessarily to be a denial of the Trinitarian nature of God.

    Your political views

    Almost no Democratic candidate is pro-life these days, and almost no Republican candidate is not. The US Taxpayers Party is the Michigan affiliate of the Constitution Party and is solidly pro-life; I wouldn't think that the party would nominate, at its state convention, a candidate for any...

    Your political views

    Good point, but both Democrats and Republicans have gotten to be quite willing to go to war, so that anyone who thinks we ought to stop trying to be the policeman of the world doesn't have much of a choice on Election Day. At one moment, one of these parties may be in favor of some overseas...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    What does that have to do with the claim that Jesus IS HIMSELF the Triune God that Christians affirm?

    Your political views

    That wouldn't be accurate. The Constitution Party is oldline conservative, patriotic, but with also a commitment to the Christian faith (as you said) and the US Constitution. There are some similarities between the CP and the Libertarians, but the Libertarian Party is focused on maximizing...

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

    When the large number of charismatic Christians who believe that they speak in tongues because they've been gifted by the Holy Ghost start exhibiting some of the other gifts, I will rethink part of what I feel about the claims. After all, whether we believe a person who claims he's received...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    Wouldn't someone who affirms the following be in that group also? "Jesus is YHWH (the trinity) in the flesh."

    Do you use Advent Candles at home?

    Sometimes we do. In any case, it's a lovely tradition, particularly if there are minor children in the home. Many Christian people don't know what to make of Advent and, if they're aware of the season at all, they think of it as a sort of a pre-game warmup for Christmas Day. In a way, it is...

    That could be interesting.

    Denominationalism VS nondenominational Churches.

    Yes, and each one of them amounts to a very small denomination, if we think about it for a moment. The typical non-denominational church has a set of beliefs, certain standards concerning admission of people to membership, certain rituals like baptism and holy communion, etc. It's not that...

    Denominationalism VS nondenominational Churches.

    Good. Then post something for discussion that isn't framed as a denunciation of almost all Christians.

    I meant to leave that up to you, considering that you were the person who started this one.

    Denominationalism VS nondenominational Churches.

    Great. Then you've lost your argument. We have to leave it since you have been able to defend not a single one of your claims. Do you have another issue that we could discuss? If so, please start a thread on that one.
