Subject: Debatable Issues |
Bible Note: Mark: NASB Romans 14:1 Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his OPINIONS. (Emphasis added.) I think Romans 14 probably applies to "secondary non-essentials", including, but not limited to, pre-, mid-, post-trib rapture, premill, preterism, predestination, election, cessation of the charismatic gifts, and baptism for adults or infants. Grace to you, Kalos 'Secondary Non-Essentials 'The [following] subjects . . . whether affirmed or denied have no bearing on the status of a person before God. They are OPINIONS, various positions held. Unfortunately, it is in these non essentials that many denominational differences result. 'SUBJECT '- Predestination, election, limited atonement, and free will '- Communion every week, monthly, or quarterly, etc. '- Saturday or Sunday Worship '- Pre, mid, post trib rapture. '- Premill, Amill, post millenialism, preterism. '- Continuation or cessation of the charismatic gifts '- Baptism for adults or infants 'IMPORTANCE Secondary Non-Essentials Any of them can be denied, or affirmed, and regeneration is not in question. 'RELIGIOUS GROUPS 'Denomination Division Denominational differences often result due to these issues.' ____________________ (Emphasis added.)
