1 | Why little sign of power in our churches | Mark 16:17 | Ken hepting | 93516 | ||
"No. Preterists openly acknowledge the power, we understand that Christ DID have victory, then and forever. And through His victory, we have victory. Take care," You mean you believe it used to be but now you are sterile because it ceased to be yet somehow still is and you can't figure it out. That must be very frustrating for you. |

Hi Ken, ...You mean you believe it used to be but now you are sterile because it ceased to be, yet somehow still is and you can't figure it out. That must be very frustrating for you... I can see what you mean, but it's actually not frustrating at all. I don't buy into non Biblical prophecies, or jibber jabber talk, or being slain in the spirit. If someone wishes to believe in that, that's fine. I however don't see a Biblical proof for these things. I believe in the word of God for Churches Post 70 AD, and that's it. But I understand that it is my view. You may believe in gifts, that's fine too. It isn't a salvation issue so it's of little concern to me as a whole. Take care, SUEDE |

But then the church isn't a salvation issue either. I feel bad for you. Take care. | ||||||

Ken, ...But then the church isn't a salvation issue either... Correct! Gifts and salvation are not tied together. Neither are gifts and the church. Neither is the church and salvation. I think it's a good idea to fellowship with Christians, but it's not a salvation issue. Salvation is grace, not church attendance or having a "gift". Take care, SUEDE |

"Correct! Gifts and salvation are not tied together....." Correct! ".....Neither are gifts and the church....." Incorrect! ".......Neither is the church and salvation......" Partly correct! ".....I think it's a good idea to fellowship with Christians, but it's not a salvation issue...." Maybe! Depends on the condition of the "Christians" and what influence I may bring into the gathering. "....Salvation is grace, not church attendance or having a "gift"...." Maybe....A little to cultish here, I'm afraid. A good question you might ask yourself is "What salvation"? There is one that must be worked out with fear and trembling. Does the church have part in that one? How about the gifts? |

Hey Ken, ".....Neither are gifts and the church....." Incorrect!.... If gifts and the church were tied together absolutely, then they would be absolutely manifested. But they are not, and never were. Even back in the first century, not all believers would exhibit gifts. Lack of salvation? Never. ".......Neither is the church and salvation......" Partly correct!... Correct in it's entirity. Eph 2:2-9 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. It is important to fellowship, but you are not saved because of it. ".....I think it's a good idea to fellowship with Christians, but it's not a salvation issue...." Maybe! Depends on the condition of the "Christians" and what influence I may bring into the gathering... Yes, if they are wolves amongst the flock, I agree, but I meant fellowshipping in it's purest form, with Believers not non believers. "....Salvation is grace, not church attendance or having a "gift"...." Maybe....A little to cultish here, I'm afraid.... Surely you jest. Eph 2:8 and 9 again? It is often cults that claim that only 'they' have the correct or true church. That is cultish. ...A good question you might ask yourself is "What salvation"?... Grace alone. ...There is one that must be worked out with fear and trembling... Yes, our gift from God must be worked out, or understood. But this does not imply salvation by works. However, that verse is at forefront of cults such as JWs. ...Does the church have part in that one?... In understanding one's Grace from God? No. BUT, we should fellowship with believers. ...How about the gifts?... Absolutely not. Never have, never will. Some charsmatic believe this to be so, as in if you can't speak in "tongues" you aren't saved. That is incorrect on so many levels. Take care, SUEDE |
