  1. Thanks
    No Nicolaitans got a reaction from Jim_Alaska in Salvation in the OT – Paul’s explanation.   
    One of the best expositions...if not the best exposition that I've ever seen regarding salvation in the Old Testament. One thing jumped out at me, and though I've read it countless times, I've somehow missed it up until now...
    Heb 9:14-15
    14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
    Thank you Dave.

    No Nicolaitans reacted to Alan in Glory in Heaven   
    Brethren,
    Evidently, the problem with the avatars and emoticons affected the photos in my devotions (including this one on Daniel 12:3, Glory in Heaven), and it also affected some of the scripture references to be deleted. I am in the process of re-uploading all of the photos and checking the scripture references. If I miss any please let me know.
    Hope you enjoy the devotions! If there are any comments on any of the older devotions please feel free to comment or ask any question that may arise.
    God Bless!
    Alan

    No Nicolaitans reacted to Standing Firm In Christ in Is Tithing a Sin?   
    The book arrived this morning.  Following is just a sample of what is  in the book:


                   But as to the method of execution, we do not endorse the tithe system for the following reasons:

    1.  It violates the divine plan laid down in the New Testament Scriptures.
    2.  It violates every principle of Church polity upon which all our churches stand.
    3.  If the Scriptures require our churches to tithe, we have not a single Scriptural church in our association. 
    4.  It changes our giving from the realm of voluntary worship to that of slavish obedience to Law.
    5.  It makes our churches tax gatherers.
    6.  No Baptist Church has ever adopted it.  Should a church adopt it, they would cease to be Baptist.
    7.  So far as History goes, it was never mentioned as a Christian or Church obligation until after the “great apostasy” in 250 A.D., and then only by the apostate church, and not by Baptists.  The agitation among Baptists, of this question, is of recent date.
    8.  No Baptist Confession of Faith has ever mentioned it.
    9.  It screens the rich, and oppresses the poor.
    10.  Not one syllable in all the Bible that connects the tithe system with the churches of Jesus Christ.  When Baptists leave the Bible, they get into trouble.
