1 | Did other churches use intruments | Eph 5:19 | Hank | 167535 | ||
Dear gospelmann: Having read all your posts to date, I am pleased to welcome you to this Forum. We are for the most part a fellowship of Christian believers with a common bond, to study God's word together and to learn, as iron sharpens iron, from one another. We try to meld together here as mere Christians. Even though we hail from various and sundry communions within the Christian community, it is, I believe, widely understood among the regular denizens of this Forum that the canopy of the church, the body of Christ, is broad enough to shelter a multitude of relatively minor points of doctrine. So, for example, a Baptist such as I can fellowship with (and learn from!) a follower of Christ who happens to be of the Presbyterian, Assembly of God or other communions. ...... We who have been regulars of the Forum for years have learned the folly of debate, and so has the Lockman Foundation; hence, a proscription against it. ...... It is o.k. to state one's theological point of view, even one's denomination's views, as you have done. There's nothing wrong with that. But we do advocate that the views be stated once and be done with. It's the continued PUSHING of one's denominational bias that leads to dissention and ill will and usually and most probably to some sort of disciplinary action being taken. ...... But, you have committed no breaches of Forum guidelines at this point, so far as I'm able to determine. So, again, I welcome you as you join us in the same kindred spirit that guided the Bereans of old, as we search the Scriptures daily to determine what things are so. Soli Deo Gloria! --Hank | ||||||

Dear brother Hank, I wasn't attempting to push or debate the merits of the fellowship I belong to only to correct a a serious misunderstanding. I would ask only this right as I participate. Also, I would hope that the one great character trait of all the participants is not to just be like the Bereans but also that we have the attitude of Apollos. The reason I joined is not to confront but to explore and learn how others approach scripture and like wise to share. This doesn't change the fact that I like yourself have strongly held views. I will gladly listen to anyones views with the utmost respect. we are all entitled and encouraged by scripture to make up our own minds, philipians2:12,11tim 2:15. And if I disagree it will likewise be with respect.Having said all this I ask you to examine what I respond to doc and let me know what you think. |
