Online Baptist is now pleased to offer a community wiki article section. You can find the link on top. How does it work? Right now it is pretty basic, but more features will be added in the near future. All IFB group members have access to create or add/edit any page in the article section. If you are IFB and need access into the article database just send me a PM. I need your help. I need you to start articles. It does not have to be long, in fact it could only be a sentence to start, others will come along and add to the articles. These articles are to act as an encyclopedia on IFB. They are to help others understand what IFB believe. Let me know what features o…

McDonald's is supporting the radical hispanic group La Raza. Many people don't know what La Raza is up to, but in a nutshell, they are calling for the southwestern part of the US to be given to Mexico...and even advocating the killing of the white people there... I know that many people don't participate in boycotts. There are solid reasons for that: 1. they don't necessarily do any good. 2. there are so many companies that support so many wrong things. But here's our reasoning: McDonald's is a company from which no-one actually HAS to buy. They sell luxury items (and I do love their iced mocha...which I was getting about twice a week) that are not necessary to pu…

Five Truths that Republicans Hate By Joel McDurmon | Published: July 2, 2010 On Wednesday Gary posted the list “Five Truths that Liberals Hate,” and it proved one of the most popular posts we’ve had in a while. While in total agreement with those ideals, and actually prOBably the most conservative guy at American Vision, I thought a little Tabasco for the Right was in order as well. So let’s hear it: five truths Republicans hate. 1. Most Republicans are as socialist as the Left. While not as socially liberal as the left—not advocating equality, gay rights, feminism, etc., etc.—Republicans have proven every bit as fiscally liberal with the exception of the last year o…

Are Christians Disposable People? By Angela Wittman And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. - Rev. 19:16 I recently listened to a report on the persecution of Christians in Afghanistan. And while America supports the present government with money and troops, I believe we are complicit in this destruction of human life. Which leaves me to wonder if the world (America included) sees Christians as disposable people? The lack of media attention for Christian persecution really speaks volumes as to the apathetic condition in our so called "Christian" nation. But of course, we are quite adept at turning a blind eye…

Hey, All, I'm interested in seeing what other Fundamental Baptists are using for their primary computer Bible studies. I have a definite preference (which I'll not reveal here...). One of my ministries is formatting public domain resources for Bible students. If I can do so in the most popular Baptist programs, then I can increase my ministry. So, what do you use as your primary study program(s)? (I utilize two of them, but one is my "main" resource.) Please don't select all that you've tried; just mark the ones that you use every day (or perhaps every week). Dave

Last night at Bible study we were in Hebrews and discussing the importance of reading and studying the Word so we know the Word and will be less likely to fall for false teachings or to drift away. During the discussion our associate pastor related something that happened on the recent mission trip himself, two other adults and 7 of our youth went on. At this mission trip there were many different groups from many different churches around the country. An issue came up about the dress length of a couple of the youth. Our associate pastor happened into the room where several youth pastors and youth leaders were discussing this. It seems they couldn't come to a conclus…

Hey, Y'All, Baptist missionaries to Tanzania (who happen to be childhood friends with my wife) put us on to this series. They have 4 girls, and loved it. So it came highly recommended to my family (3 boys - no girls). Well, we started into it, and the boys never wanted us to put it down. We've read almost a chapter every night for the last 6 months (7 volumes, each volume just under 200 pages). The stories themselves are quite riveting; but the allegorical truth is what is so exciting and refreshing. Ed Dunlop is a fundamental Baptist, and you can tell while reading this "children's" series. If our adults would read it for themselves, our churches could be changed! …

The Internet I had a very scary thought early this morning: What one thing ties the world together today? The internet. Who controls the internet? Many say that no one person or body can control it, but what if one person does? What if one man could take control of the internet, and have all that is in it at his discretion? He would have the power of complete censorship; he would literally come into nearly every home in America, and be able to OBtain valuable information about any one of us; private, personal, and vital information that could ruin us, or promote us, whichever he desired! Think of the power he would have in the mere knowledge of our business activ…

A SUBTLE AND DANGEROUS SHIFT IN CHRISTIANITY By Marsha West June 13, 2010 NewsWithViews.com It seems everyone’s practicing yoga meditation these days. Physicians recommend it to their patients which means it’s beneficial…right? Meditation is said to relieve stress, anxiety, hypertension, acne and post-nasal drip, so go for it! Just tighten those abdominal muscles, inhale deeply and chant Maaaaaaaaa all in one breath and your concerns will drift away like a feather floating on the wind… But what if you’re a Christian? Should you practice the same sorts of things as Buddhist, Hindu’s and New Agers? Listen to what the Bible says: "This book of the law shall n…

This is not a debate thread! Just a poll. I've been around lot of different types of Baptists, and there are a lot of different types of ideas out there. I'm just curious if everyone around here believes the same thing or not. Like I said, this is not a debate thread, if you want to do that start a new one. I don't want to be responsible for a huge brawl, I just want to know what people think.

Restoring Broken Relationships We need to seek out principles for restoring relationships, and remember that love always prevails. 1. Reminisce about past shared experiences. Remember the “good old days”. Times spent, things done together. 2. Don’t be afraid to “eat crow”. Swallow your pride. --Pride is destructive; it seldom, if ever, edifies. Why not take the blame for the prOBlem? 1 Cor. 6:7 At least make it right on your end. 3. Build dreams with them! Talk of “better days” ahead; Instill in them a new hope. Find something to compliment them on (Need not lie, everyone has some accomplishment we can compliment them for.) Let them know the…

“The world” is taken mostly in a general sense. To many, it is impersonal, and in an abstract tense. We need to personalize it before it becomes meaningful to us; we need to read it as “God so loved me that He gave His only begotten Son for me…” Until we personalize this verse, we will never grasp the beauty of it. You see, “the world” is spoken of in a general sense as well as a personal sense. However, this may not be true in every case; we read of another passage concerning “the world”, (1 Jn. 2:15-17), and those words become all inclusive; they speak of the world’s systems; of governments, and philosophies that prevail as “worldly” and secular in nature, and …

I know alot of kids in my grade who drink alcohol. The usual rationale for doing so is that it helps them relax or have fun. I even had one guy tell me that it helps settle his stomach. Mostly though they drink to feel like adults. They think they can just "drink responsibly", but they don't stop at a couple of drinks. They're just not responsiblke enough. They're not adults, they're just teenagers. I never felt the need to drink because I can have fun and retain my decision making abilities at the same time. That, and I never really saw the point. I'll stick to my chocolate milk thank you. I can have fun sober, and I don't need to prove I'm an adult to anyone…

Psalms 139 “How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.” (vs. 17, 18) There are several important facts we can deduce from this passage of Scripture. First, that God ought to be precious to us. We ought to delight in thinking of the Lord and knowing that we are in His thoughts also! The Lord does not forget us, ever, the blessings just keep on coming. Next, we see that there ought to be many thoughts toward Him, as our verse implies, “count your blessings” we are very much blessed of God, no matter how bad we think things are g…

Just to clarify on the repenting God did when Israel turned from their evil ways. The thing here is that their turning from evil ways here is called... works. So since salvation isnt by works ..and turning from evils ways IS works.. hence the issue with repent meaning 'turn from sin'. So there is what I was meaning. -

Thankfully the pastors I know NEVER STOPPED preaching the gospel. Remember, TGL, they're to preach the whole counsel of God, not just salvation messages. And just to be clear, preaching messages that promote conservative, Biblical values is imperative. Maybe one should let the Holy Spirit guide in what these pastors preach, eh? -

Excellent it’s over, I noticed that many pastors were disturbed, with the elections this year, more than ever before, and they were preaching to reinforcing being a conservative, it was a priority for many preachers, but now that is all over, preaching the gospel for salvation should take its place. Thanks 🙏 You -

Well, I agree with knowing you are a sinner before salvation and by free will, believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. So that's not really calvinism. -
