Quoted from http://www.againstdispensationalism.com/95theses.shtml Disputation of NiceneCouncil.com On The Power and Efficacy of Dispensationalism -or- The Ninety-Five Theses Against Dispensationalism Preface What follows should not be interpreted to mean that NiceneCouncil.com nor the historic Bible believing church would place every dispensationalist outside of the Christian faith. We acknowledge that most are dedicated to the foundational orthodox doctrines of Christianity. Unlike the sixteenth century dispute over the doctrine of justification, this is an in-house discussion, a debate among evangelical Christians. We recognize and treasure all born again believ…

Deuteronomy 22:5 1 2 3 4 14

If I may, I would like to request the guidance of others on this Forum regarding the issue of gender-specific dress. A few years ago, when I read Deuteronomy 22:5, “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God” I took that instruction to heart and stopped wearing trousers. Occasionally, I come across women (usually women from my place of employment but this would also happen at the Southern Baptist Church I used to attend) who ask me why I never wear pants but only long skirts and dresses. I would show them Deut. 22:5 and I would be accused of bein…

I would like for this to be a civil discussion. The problem is that an IFB can mean many sort of things. For example, this website is and mostly IFB, but some say we are too IFB while other state we are not IFB enough. Where in your mind should Online Baptist/We draw the line for IFB?

I have seen a disturbing trend on this board and also in "real life". I hope everyone will understand my post as not being written in anger or meanness, but out of genuine concern. My biggest concern has been seeing this trend (which I will explain) in pastors and others in full time ministry. Our main complaint of neoevangelicism is the fact that they often change their beliefs or way of doing things in order to attract/keep the most people. However, I see this in our circles today as well. More and more I hear "People's schedules are just too tight to attend church faithfully, so we should really schedule less things. After all, its just a church building, and…

I was wondering how many of you will be celebrating Easter on the 23rd, or whether you will be celebrating Resurrection Sunday in April?

Did Jesus turn the water into fermented wine? Luke 5:39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better. John 2:9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. Which wine is the "good wine"?

I'm going to go out on a limb here, and probably get shot in the process. LOL. But I was thinking about different Christians and such, and there are some Christian ladies that totally "preach" if I can say it that way, absolute submission to their husbands to the exclusion of submitting to any other authority. My :2cents about this is that some Christian ladies seem to use "submission" as the "spiritual" way to rebel. If we look through the Bible we can find several times that Christian women directly obeyed God or a man of God...also the Bible teaches for all of us to obey government authority, whether or not the government is godly. Many women were also slav…

Had a question about Pastoral qualifications. If a Pastor of a Church is married to a woman who is divorced, is he qualified to pastor a Church?

Here is a scripture where Jesus is speaking: Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come [again] unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. (John 14:28) Clearly Jesus speaks that his Father is greater. Therefor he can't be compared to Jehovah, can he? Can someone explain me this question: is Jesus inferior to his Father on earth only, or in heaven also?

The question that I would like to raise is whether or not it is considered sinful for Christian women to wear pants, and why that is the case. The controversy within this community regarding women's apparel has manifested itself countless of times whether it be in small local churches, such as my own, or large scale conventions and conferences where the attire of an individual, typically a woman's, is criticized or condemned. Personally, I believe that one should place more emphasis on behavior/actions and our faith than in the triviality of appearances. However, I am aware of the fervent stance that many of us have regarding this issue and I would like to hear/see o…

Okay Bible Scholars, Preachers and laymen alike, the question is simple - what is sin? I learned from the Bible that sin is the transgression of the law and all unrighteousness is sin. Now I am interested in learning what everyone elses' opinion is regarding what SIN is, what kinds of things are sin or are not sin, etc. I believe that too many preachers are way too soft on sin - and tend to sugar coat the Truth. All of this sugar is spoiling the congregations and when they found out that the Truth isn't sweet, they get real upset. I will not post this in the general forum, because I want to make this specific to the IFB community.

I want to try to bring up this subject without addressing specific issues if possible. In God's Word it basically says that even though God specifically says its okay to eat meat, that some "weaker brethren" will still prefer to avoid it, and that that's okay too. What I find, though, is when we get on the topic of standards/seperation, that some will say that its the "weaker bretheren" that have the stronger standards. It does not, however, make sense to me that the closer we get to God, the "looser" we become in matters of worldly seperation. I understand the Biblical example of eating meat, because God specifically says "Its okay to eat meat." So to actually h…

When Jesus was teaching His followers, so many times the people totally just didn't get His meanings, and many times He had to explain things to His disciples even because it was over their heads too. And i don't blame them because some of what He taught was very confusing. Do you ever wonder if maybe we are still misunderstanding some of His teachings? Maybe it's so much not that we misunderstand what He wanted us to do, but rather the reason for it and therefore the methods in which we do it. Take the Lord's supper, for example. Did He really mean for us to do it so corporately? To sit around in our pew rows and have the special trays for the grape juice and itt…

Question # 1 Rom 10: 9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Is this when " YOU " become born of water and the Spirit? Yes or No?

I've known many IFBs who were against going to the beach (during swimming season--summer) because of the way men and women dress. However, I have also known many IFBs who will enjoy summertime at the beach by swimming and such. Is it ok to go to the beach if you are dressing modestly? Or is it not appropriate, because even if you are dressed modestly, you are putting yourself in a situation to surround yourself by many who are not?

The Bible mentions things like dogs, chickens, hens, cocks, horses, mules, bulls, goats and sheep,. Then there are wild ones like wolves, foxes, leopards, ostriches, eagles. lions, and bears, For some animals, which we know by their modern names, the Bible uses a very different name because "asses", are now called "donkeys", "hinds" are now called "deer" and what we call "cattle" the Bible calls "kine". and nobody seems to know for sure what a 'unicorn' really was, though some suspect it was a wild bull or something. But what about crocodiles and elephants? Historical and archaeological evidence confirms that there were crocodiles and elephants in the Middle East yet ther…

A small excerpt from David Cloud: DAVE HUNT DENIES THE FIRE OF HELL (Friday Church News Notes, April 18, 2008, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - I am very sad to report that Dave Hunt, who has written some helpful books on a variety of subjects, is boldly denying the fire of hell. In an article at The Berean Call web site entitled "Justice, Forgiveness, and Transformation," dated March 31, 2008, he says that the fire is "not physical" and that it "must be the 'fire' of God's justice, holiness, purity, and truth that exposes motives and would surely torment the conscience of the damned forever." He says, "This alone could constitute the flames in the …

I just found this website today, April 19, 2024. Never heard of him. Can you relate any experiences you've had concerning him or his ministry? From the home page: https://kjvevangelist.com/ "Psalm 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ, We are, Jack and Barb Koons; Evangelists to America, and as the Letterhead states; “Promoting the King James Bible, and Refuting Calvinism, and Arminianism”. After researching the King James issue since about 1990, and having written a book on the subject named “What is So Special About the King James Bible?”; God has called me to teach churches why we believe the King James is the inspired, inerrant, and preserved Word of God, for English speaking people. I am available to teach anything from a single lesson, to an entire conference on the King James. My book could also be used as a textbook at any seminary, standing on the King James. Furthermore, seeing how Calvinism (“Reformed Theology”) has been taking over many churches, and growing in popularity, (because it appeals to the supposed “sovereignty” of God); I also teach why this is a NOT a Biblical doctrine. I have written a book titled, “The Biblical View of Salvation”, which is a series of 173 lessons, which covers the Doctrine of Salvation from a practical perspective, and also refutes Calvinism, and Arminianism. I am available to teach anything from the basic Gospel message, to detailed messages presented at a revival, or such type meetings. Please explore the menu on this sight to see how Barb and I can be a service to you. Because the Lord is still on the Throne, Jack Koons" -

- In the last nearly 7 months, there have been 2, major attacks, against the "jew", but we will call it Israel. OCT 7 was the first, and this is well documented, and now, a few days ago, you have Iran (Islam) attacking Israel in the middle of the night, as the devil loves the darkness....... Many many Ballistic , Cruise Missiles, and at least 200 Attack Drones were sent in by Islam (Iran) to try to kill Jewish citizens. Here are some photos, of a few of the Ballistic Missiles and a video. I wanted you to see the size of just ONE of the Ballistic Missiles so that you can get a real sense of just how much damage and death Islam was trying to again, inflict on the JEW., as they fired over 100 of these... and not just these. - - - - - -
Only "throw it out" if you are trying to offer it to God to be accepted by God. For example.. "God, i'll promise to stop sinning............will you save me now'"" ????? See that? "God says" = NO I WONT, as that is not my GRACE. and you are "saved by Grace", or you are not saved at all.
