    AVBibleBeliever reacted to wretched in When Is A Non-Baptist A Baptist?   
    You said book full with these two lines
     
    After 30 years and living all over the world I have yet to see a real New Testament Church.
     
    The closest I have seen are missionary works in central and south america but absolutely zero in the states.
     
    The NT Church Operating guide and standards are in the Book of Acts. If anyone knows of one like in the Book of Acts, please share the info.
     
    The 7 day a week Church where dying to the world and sharing all things common is the standard, praising God and worshipped all day, working to provide for the whole body and not our own ambitions in this nasty world and for entertainment would go out soulwinning.
     
    The Amish maybe? Nah, they get the sharing all things part down but are clueless to the rest.
     
    We get the soulwinning down pretty good but are clueless to the rest. Seems even the most fundamental Churches are over adminstered and run like corporations.
     
    I know we are all set in our ways and American culture to change now and I certainly won't be starting a church myself but can't stop but wonder why noone notices that this maybe why we are so stagnant.

    oh my, if only I knew, someone offered us one for free.  Our landlord wont let us have one.  Plus I hate getting attached and then having it get hit or die on you can be emotional.

    Well, I don't live in India, and I don't like nose rings.    That said, if the waitress has one and gives me good service she'll get a nice tip.  Even if she doesn't give good service, she would get a decent tip because we then leave a tract - and we aren't going to stiff a tip and leave a tract at the same time.  Bad witness, that!
     
    My biggest pet peeve?  The fact that I don't have one. I want a dog so badly.  A beagle pup.  That I can name Liberty.  Yes, then I wouldn't have a peeve anymore, I would have a pet.

    Self sanctification will not make anyone clean.  At Salvation it is imputed to you through Faith on Jesus Christ, Sanctification, Justification, Righteousness, Holiness and Godliness.  You need only walk in His Spirit or the Holy Ghost to live accordingly.  Gentiles walking in the Spirit will by the Imputed divine nature stay pure, clean and in service to Christ and produce fruit that is not theirs by any amount of works.

    In every instance of using the 10 commandments to lead someone to Christ you will create a legalist because the natural progression is if I didn't keep them and am guilty of that then I must keep them after I get saved.
     
    This is why Ray Comfort and his Lordship Salvation movement came about from his "Way of the Master Series"
     
    Many of the new Yeshua and YAH cults were invented because of the Way to the Master Series.  I know many men who have fallen from grace in this manner.  Beware of using the 10 comandement to convict Gentiles they are not right with God.
     
    Paul's word makes it clear that we were without God or the covenants because we were Gentiles (not the people of God).  We come to God through Christ who died for our sins period not that we broke the Law that was given for all Israel on Mr Horeb.

    It takes "detective work" with the help of the Holy Spirit to uncover a lot of truth that is in the Scriptures.
    How many times have I seen folks just "gloss over" a truth as if it wasn't even there.
    Being creatures of habit, many often just "parrot" what they have heard others say.
     
    The Bereans were more nOBle than the Thessalonians because they diligently searched the Scriptures.

    Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. JOB 38:4
    When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? JOB 38:7
     
    God is not one who "has a lot of time" to accomplish his plans.  God dwells in eternity.  God created the space-time continuum.
     
    In Rev., John is describing things from HIS perspective, using the best language he can to describe events.
     
    Unless the desire is simply to be contentious (Pro 26:21, Rom 2:8),
    these concepts are easy to understand by the simplest of minds.

    In Addition to Prophets, remarks above,  the word "about" is key in understanding that the one seeing the revelation, a man, is the attributing or guessing a time to how long he experienced the silence.  This does not mean heaven us under any type of time quantum (measurements).  Time only works here on this planet.  Even the scientist and sci-fi writers know that.
  9. Thanks
    AVBibleBeliever reacted to prophet1 in How Old Is The Earth   
    The relevance is that the sons of God are tied to Time. The angels are created in eternity, where time doesn't exist.

    And God here separates any possible cross reference.

    what is even more amazing is that I don't read the "day's of praise" or have any publication of theirs in my home.
     
    It was placed on my heart yesterday and I thought I would share it as I was looking at the Bible to determine what were the traditions Paul taught especially as it seems he was pointing to the Second Epistle to the Thessalonians as containing those Traditions.

    There was an old man I used to do some free work for in the 90's he told me that they used in in the WWII to describe a man who was a coward. not that the soldiers name was killroy.  I think I got it about as correct as he told me.  I heard the old shipyard story about it but no one has officially verified that one either.  I like the old veterans story on why they used it it may not have originated there but it fit why they used it.
     
    This is all I know about WWII my grandfather was shipped off with 35 friends from Chicago for landing in Omaha Beach in France.  Out of the 35 he was the only one who survived.  He never spoke of it.  But one day my brother was talking about paint ball battles he was into back in the early 80's and I watched as my Grandfathers face turned red, one thing we knew was if his face turned red he was angry.  Then all of sudden he sternly told my brother that if he really wanted to go into battle to go join the army.
     
    It was my Grandmother who told us about his friends and that landing on Omaha.   She Hailed Mary for 7days she said because she hadn't heard from him.  then a week after the landing, an officer was calling all his friends families but she never got a call so she knew he made it.  It was two weeks before she got a letter saying he was ok.  After that I had a lot more respect for him those who made it deserve that at least.  He died in 91 of cancer, a Roman Catholic.

    Paul never used the Law to show a Gentile that they were sinners and/or to lead them to Christ.  He didn't even use it to lead Jews to Christ  and for us to do so is to use a NON BIBLICAL means of evangelizing.
     
    Paul may not of had the New Testament he did have the Holy Ghost and direct Revelation from God himself.
     
    I don't know who this Les guy is but anyone who says there are errors in the AV Bible is someone I would not listen too no matter how correct they are on right division.

    almost all the Hymns can be found on MIDI and if your sound device plays MIDI you can get most of the music  The prOBlem is most of the MIDI accompaniments are very old styled organ sounding.
     
    My wife is Sandi Patty style too.
     
    I think it is useless to come to a final decision on an issue like this.  But the more the music moves the flesh than the spirit the more I stay away from it.  Shame about Ray Boltz.

    you're quoting a message to a JEW under LAW, PRE CROSS and this has nothing to do with Salvation for the CROSS has not taken place yet.  This is all OBeying law if you want to live in the Kingdom and then take it to the next step Sell everything and follow Christ, and if he did it and lived it then he could enter the Kingdom (either by resurrection of the martyred saints or enduring to the end of the tribulation) where he would get eternal life by eating of the fruit of the Tree of Life or if he died before the kingdom came then at the judgement he would be given the right to enter in the New Jerusalem and eat of it.

    the prOBlem in using the law is this.  You show them the law to worship God and him alone or any of the other laws and convince them they have not Kept them.  they agree get saved and then believe they must keep those laws there after and that is not the truth.
     
    Get them Saved, teach them and be an example of how to live by faith in Christ for the word says, Col 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:  Ye were saved by grace through Faith alone and you must learn to live by grace through faith alone.  You must teach through example how to stand strong in the Grace of God and how to produce fruit of that in their lives and teach them how to commit that standing strong in the Grace to others as well. 2Tim 2:1&2 ¶ Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.   And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
     
    We must learn and teach how to walk as an anointed one i.e. a Christian, When you walk in the spirit you are walking in the anointing 2Cor 1:21&22 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;  Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.  when you do you will produce the fruit of the Spirit Gal 5:16-25 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.   But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.   Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,  Envyings, murders, dunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.   But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.   And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.   If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
     
    If we learn this then we will have the mind of Christ that unites us in a way that is powerful Col 3:12-17 ¶ Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;  Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.   And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.   And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.   Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.   And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
    2Co 13:11 ¶ Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. 
    Php 2:1-9 ¶ If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,  Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.   Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.   Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.   Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not rOBbery to be equal with God:  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became OBedient unto death, even the death of the cross.   Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
     
    The prOBlem is many teachers/preachers are not teaching the Word as much as they are teaching their interpretation of it and all the worldliness that goes with it.  Prosperity theology, Replacement theology, Preterest theology even Pre-trib/pre-mellennial theology can usurp Gods word which is to edify the Body of Christ and glorify God.
     
    Theology and those major doctrines are good but far better is teaching them how to live a new life in Christ Jesus as an anointed Son of God called to be adopted, forgiven, sanctified, holy and righteous in this world.  the Law does none of that but the Spirit filled life does.

    From a safe then they already know who stole it.  according to a member there I know they have a computerized safe  and it is set up that two peoples pin numbers must be entered into the safe's digital lock in order to open it.  so either two people were there and they used their numbers to open the safe the record is in the safe's system or was recorded to the computer in the office that the safe uses to record who uses the safe.  If that system was over-ridden I would still be suspicious that is was an inside job and more than likely it is a scam.  Because all you have is their word there was $600,000 in that safe. 
     
    Generally all checks are separated from the cash.  Checks are not usually kept in the safe.  and one must remember that most banks have deposit boxes for businesses and churches to use for large sums accessible at their nearest bank location even on sundays.
     
    It all sounds to convenient.  Watch the IRS jump on this and they look a bit closer to the ministries staff  income taxes and and claimed expenditures.  Remember these are to be NON PROFIT ORG they are to be pretty much in the black or red very few are in the green.

    If I am correct his ministry just filed a theft case that some one stole $600,000 dollars last weekend from his ministry.  I just couldn't see this being done seeing that he has such a large staff and supposedly multiple accountability levels for those who handle the tithes and offerings.
     
    What got me was they had insurance to cover stolen money.
     
    Seems to me this may be an insurance scam.

    From the first slight I asked him to stop communicating with me and he refused.  Then I asked him again and again, I finally just had to add him to the ignore list just so I could straighten my short hairs as they say.
     
    I tried very hard not to respond in like,  I never made accusations or placed him in an a typical labeled box or ever questioned his salvation because of his personal remarks towards me.
     
    Now from ministerial experience these types of brethren find fault in those they disagree, looking and searching for anything to which they can continue to point a fault.   They will act like a hound dog sniffing out anything just to pick a bone of contention. There is no convincing them they are being less than gracious or loving ,and they will always feel it is scriptural and they are guided by the Holy Ghost.  They always justify themselves, and it takes a real move of the Holy Ghost in their life to get them to change. 
     
    It has been my experience in counseling many brothers in Christ who are like this over the years(and they are in every culture and race upon this planet), they have somehow grieved the Holy Ghost in this practice and as such they tend not to hear the Holy Ghost speaking directly, indirectly, through others or through scriptures.  And they always have to have the last word in any given situation.  It gets to a point one must just ignore them and let them be to their own devices.
     
    Thanks for taking the time to point out to our brothers (me included) that we need to be sure we attack the message and not the messenger so to say.
