241 | Saved with Baptism? | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 51293 | ||
Dear Raven: I think being a Christian is proberly where more people classified as Christian, and they are but there are many beliefs that are so direct opposite. I say this to confirm we both are Christians and both have some basic christian teachings, but we have some very different perspectives. As assured there is, No once saved always saved, I would say oh yes that is! One of the basic planks of our faith is the holy Spirit seals us. But that is not significant enough to stop fellowship or caqll someone a non believer.I can assure there are many who as a tender child were aware they needed Jesus as their Saviour. Jesus said unless you come as a little child. My marriage partner was five, and grew as a baby in christ just as we all must. Scripture referes to satrting out on the sinscer milk of the Word. I have been with children most of life. In fact contrary to my grandchildrens thoughts, I once was one. I remember very clearly what was wrong or right. Any young girl or boy knows not to show or touch someone eleses privates. That is taught in public schools in Kindregarden! So please let me assure you God has given children a sence of wright and wrong. And yes right and wrong is taught as well as instinctive. I doubt the age of innocense may be some what different form child to child but by 10 I wold say that streches it pretty far. I think we are both very secure in our beliefs to defend then with scripture that could fill a hard drive. What is more important is how has Jesus changed us so everone can see Christ love in our attitude with others and with each other. Right? agape, justme |

I have not understood who gets this when I answer with a note, so this is ment for Treadway; Surely you are not suggesting Cor.7:14 to say that if either partner in marriage is unsaved, the believer somehow alots the unbeliever salvation by some sort of connection in marrage? Are you? Because I have a different understanding on that verse if that's what you are saying. By the way what does ESV stand for I do not recall that one. agape, justme |

New Lump: Oh thank heaven for someone to agree with that a 10 year old boy does know its not nice to have sex with a 13 year old girl. I suppose we could raise the age of accountability to 57 and I would home free? Bless you I was feeling rather picked on. Get the pun? agape, justme |

Hey Searcher: I suppose everything has been discussed many times. I wonder how Seminary Professors keep teaching for so many years. I am sure they have heard it over, and over, and over, and over, and over.....I think you got the idea. The thing in a forum some areas are good to rehash as it brings in new members and they can lear from participating. That's what is most important. By the way I have eaten crow several times in my life, I wonder about stuffed baked raven? Thats a joke! agape, justme |

Joe: I am very impresses with your well presented information. I most soildly affirm your statement that it is grace through faith alone in Christ alone. I brought up that question simply so some might think toeir understanding of baptismal regeneration has a flaw that it takes some real study and thought to make a change in thinking baptism is what seals salvation. I strongly believe in eternal Security as long as it is not used for fire insurance. Understand? agape, justme |

Raven: I just re read your note. You are lucky raven season is not open. I thought the other day you said you were going to be nicer? Personally I think you need your wings clipped, and tail feathers plucked. Are you so numb to the real world. Have you ever seen a child carry a gernade and blow up anyone? Don't tell me kids dont know what death is! Perhaps you have lived such a sheltered life, and do not know what it is to see how evil this world is and how quickly it comes naturally to children. Let me say it very clear you do not have a clue on some of what you speak! You got me real worked up so I will sign off before I get kicked off. Think before you type next time! Please! justme |

249 | Divorced Pastor do weddings? | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 52062 | ||
Tim: May I add that it is also the state or local county laws that also regulate. As a general rule If a person is ordained, that is enough. However in some states just going in to the County clerk and registering with then just as a person wanting to do marriage services is adaquate. Whether a former pastor is divorced has little to do with the state allowing him or her to marry. In fact you can get adds in papers and in magazines sell minister diplomas for a small price to ANYONE to marry couples and make lots of bif money. Ha Ha, I have married more couples for nothing. I usually give it back to the bride as asupprise gift. Justme |

250 | Divorced Pastor do weddings? | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 52088 | ||
Tim: From the first I have said I would rather do a funeral than a wedding as I knew they would stay put! Sadly, and a heart brake is how many divorced that I married, it really hurts. I never will marry anyone with out counseling ever again. I did for some family members to my heart ache. God bless. agape, justme |

Hank: I do have three nutered goats we use to keep the 3 acers trimed down. Does this not represent good stewardship? However if raven was a amish they have horse and buggies. I wish raven would respond to my note. I noticed you have had an interesting day. I love open mindedness, and consideration for others feelings, and I sincerely try to show those qualities. However, sometimes this key board just does not do as I tell it to do. agape, justme |

Hank, and others: I am not sure if this is a backward complament or a way of saying I was too harsh. I respect you very highly. I have avery serious problem with spelling, and gramer. Thank you for overlooking my many mistakes. I admire your command of the English, and how you respond to others on the forum. At times I feel like dropping out as there is so much to learn and life is so short. I have been to Bolivia with International Crusades in 1982 and 1986. Both times Rodney Cavert was the director. I understand theyare now part of the SBC Missions Dept. It was on my first trip I came back questioning my faith in Christ. In March of 1983 I came to be a born again Christian. I was 37 then. When I went back to the same place in 1986 I was able to tell a new testamony and 861 souls came to Christ. In all my life I never though I was not saved, until I went to Lake Titti CaCa Bolivia. My what God had to do to get across to me I was Lost. I can say my life has been one that only Christ could have led me through. So many wonderfull trials and ex[eriences have caused me to grow closer every day. Thank you for blessing the guy that was going on a mission trip in 36 days. That will change him for all his life, I know. agape justme |

I notified the forum, webmaster that I was uncomfortable with the implication by others that my name implied theology was indeed too far out, like liberal. I did this with proper notification. No intention was made to deceive or confuse anyone. I recieved an e-mail from Lockman not exactly understanding why, but acknowleged the name change. I have not used farout from that time, I hope. If I have, it was not intentional. I sincerely hope this fully explains the justme. Should you or anyone have any other questions or concerns please feel free to ask me. agape, justme |

I am not real sure, but I think I heard James White say that Pentecostalism does not believe in the Trinity. Perhaps you might know for sure. I am not 100 percent sure on this, so maybe someone can confirm this one way or the other. agape, justme |

Jeshuafreak: I was trying to be tender and not offend anyone. So I gave room for others to speak and give theie opinion. Kenneth Hagin has said quote: Man was created on terms of equality with God, and he could stand in God's presence without any consciousness of inferioity. end quote. Other Word-Faith teachers have said some other quotes I would like to share with you. Quote: Satan conquered Jesus on the cross. end quote, by Kenneth Copeland. Quote: You're not looking at Morris Cerullo--you'er looking at God. You'er looking at Jesus. end quote, by Morris Cerullo. quote: Never, ever, ever go to the Lord and say If it be thy will....Don't allow such faith-destroying words to be spoken from your mouth. end quote, by Benny Hinn. Quote: God has to be given permission to work in this earth realm on behalf of man.....Yes! You are in control! So, if man has control, who no longer has it? God. end quote, by Frederick K.C. Price. Quote: Not all Faith teachers subscribe to exactly the same beliefs on every point of doctrine, but they do hold on to an aberrant core of doctrine that rightly places them within the broad outlines of the Faith movement. end quote by, Hank Hanegraaff. CHRISTANITY IN CRISIS Harvest House Publishers 1993. pages 12-13. Again quoting Hanegraaff's book onpage 14. The Faith movement is every bit as cultic as the teachings of the Mormons, the Jehovah's Witness, and Christian Science. It is not worthy of a true Christian's support. ....the Faith movement does not represent biblical Christianity.....the Faith movement long ago departed from orthodox Christianity. and again Hanegraaff says on page 30 and I quote: There is no denying that much of Faith theology is dervived directly from metaphysics. Some of the sibstance, style, and scams endemic to the movement, however, can be traced to teachings and practices expressed primarily by certain post-World War ll faith healers and revivalists operating within Pentecostal circles. With regard to substance, for example, both Kenneth Cpoeland and Kenneth Hagin point to T,L, Osborn and William Branham as true men of God who greatly influenced their views and ministries. Of course, Osborn himself has consistently followed E.W. Keynyon's Scripture-twisting practices, and Branham has among other things, denounced the doctrine of the trinity as coming directly from the devil. Unfortunately, Hagen and Copland are not alone in affirming Branham; Faith proponent Benny Hinn gives him hearty approval as well.....In addition Hinn has given his endorsement to notorious revivalist A.A. Allen. a huckster if ever there was one. end of quotes from Hanegraaff. I was quite sure, in fact 100 percent sure, of what Pentecostals believe. Yes saying things you are not sure of can danage others reputation. I was trying not to offend anyone, so there could be some dialogue with tenderness of words. I agree that I should check my sources, and I am carefull to do so. I have quoted from Hank Hanegraaff who you can look up on www.Equip.org should you want to hear and read what these Faith leaders have said. I have quoted Hanegraaff's book and the words are not mine, they have been taken directly from their mouths. So if you believe in the trinity, I am glad. I think I have proven by the Faith movenents leaders quotes they do not. I sincerely present this in a humble way. agape, justme |

Jeshuafreak: What a pleasent suprise by your response, I am thrilled. I was unsure exactly what your position was in you first note. My guiding spiritual principle for the forum is Galatians 5:6 the last part of the verse says "The only that counts is faith expressing utself through love," I perfer to leave openess in my notes, that perhaps others can join into and complete the dialogue so we all can grow. If I do not know for sure of the response I give is accurate, I will respond with a question. I believe if I give out all I know then that is just an answer. Often I do give the complete answer which is the right way to respond. However, when I feel the Holy Spirit nudging me, I at times will not completly and fully give a total answer. This I beleive allows to open other's spiritual minds, and Bibles, and add to the answer. This allows more people to participate. More often than not, I learn more my self. I am not an authority, or the final answer on this forum, by a very, very, very, long shot. I am just one of many, I am "justme" thus my name. As I sit now, at my desk, there are twelve reference books I use quite regulary. I am blessed with a large library that my wife and I have both invested not only our money but many years in in formal education and study. My primary studies were in Bible, Psychology, Missionology, Pastorial Care, and Pastoral Theology. My wife got the same degrees but in different areas. I am indeed blessed. I have had some major blessings, that God allowed to happen to me. My health is a constant battle. and we depend on the Lords watch care every day. Besides physical problems which includes Cognitive slippage. I am so blessed, my wife and children, and grandchildren a rich reward! My wife is my litteral help mate. I have said all this to say My wife and I walk by faith as most growing Christian do, or come to do. I sincerly welcome you to the Forum. Take a moment to fill out the Update User Info. It is nice to know a little about who we talk with. There are some real jewels of Jesus in this forum. Some more polished and sparkley, and others like me, we look like sandstone, but the Master is chipping away to show how we fit, in His crown. I an encouraged with your attitude. God Bless you. agape, justme |

Edb. Perhaps you are unaware that the Pentecostal/Charismatic movements are positively both founded by the same founding Word of Faith Teachers. Some Charismatic churches have moved back to a more orthodox Christiamity. The pentencostal movement is as my note stated is in reality a Word-faith movement. Not everything these teachers expound is wrong. It is impossible to trace the authentic Pentecostal/Charismatic beginings, with out finding the founding leaders were, and still are Word-Faith teachers. I believe there are many devoted sincere true Christians within the Pentecostal/Charismatic churches. I aslo am convienced they are unaware of the movmemts cultic Theology. I think this is a very important topic, that has the potential to have feelings hurt, and anger flare up, rather than have tender kind dialogue take place. I am willing to dialogue but not argue. I am willing to listen and respond with respect and christian love be the center of our motive. But I will not intentional insult or degrade you as a person. If this is what you want, I would respond to you or anyone else, that agrees to the above. But I will respect, and show love, which I require in return. agape, justme |

EdB: In no way did I feel attacked or insulted. It is a pleasure to interact with such a kind hearted believer. I have nothing to forgive you for. We need only beg God's Mercy and love be shown as this Forum interacts with one another. I read once, I dont know by whom or where it came from. "Lord, help my words to be soft and tender; for tommrow I may have to eat them." I have eaten some shoe leather words in my Christian life time. agape, justme |

Edb: For anyone, me included, to blanketly say ALL members of this or that church or group believe totally in a certian way, is pure ignorance. Most likely not one other person believes exactllay as I do. In deed, I change my ideas as I have grown in Christ. So do movements, Churches, and theologins grow and change. Often changes nake no difference in doctrine or theology. I was a Southern Baptist for many years. I have many dear friends that are Southern Baptist. I attended a Souther Baptist University, and seminary for one year. In 1985 I could not cope, and was not willing to stand alone trying to change something that clearly whoud have caused a division. Now, some 17 years later things are much better. I felt alone, and without a church home even as I pastored three churches that we not SBC. When I was retired we spent three years looking for a church. We finally found Calvary Chapel. They are totally run different than any Baptist church. Yet ther beliefs are very simular. Is Calvary Chapel better than SBC or the other way around? I am pleased to say no. I can say I have come to the conclusion if you are unwilling to be responsible for your own personal spiritual growth then Calvary Chaple is not for a Christian to sit like a sponge. Do we have sponges? Yes we do. Do Southern Baptist have a very clear statement of Faith? Yes they do. And I agree with it. The Church Universal encompasses many believers from many churches, movements, and in places we could not imagine. We have some Assembly of God friends. Our daughter attends their youth night in our area as ther is no other Christian activity near us. We don't agree with some Assembly theology. But we talk to our daughter and it helps us explain why we believe and why, and we explain what they believe and why we do not. So narrow nindedness is something we try to avoid unless there is such a basic theology we just can not accept. I honestly have never thought Assembly of God Churches as Pentecostal. Charismatic yes, that's what I have always refered to them as. Thank you for sharing all this with me. agape, justme |
