    A closer look at "baptizo" (to baptize)

    I am curious, is there any mention of a instance where the Holy Spirit comes inside a person but they still fight it, for a time? If God decides you are His, then you are His and there is no way around it, however I can see that perhaps people fight God. I am speaking of the New Testament...

    The Fallacy of Freewill

    That's all right, Slider. [Insert joke here.] But what I did want to get into is the origin of the freewill doctrine. As I outlined above, freewill doctrine is a ruse. It is a lie that is designed to make God's followers glorify themselves, even if in the smallest of ways. It is a way to take...

    The Fallacy of Freewill

    Oh come now! I'm sorry to break it to you but it isn't all about starched collars and chest-high khakis! Humor isn't a bad thing, Jesus was a pretty funny guy. He had to be. He had to live a truly human life, and that means laughing and joking, so that He could die a truly divine death. But...

    The Fallacy of Freewill

    Josh, if you'd like I wouldn't mind a nice discussion about what you brought up in your last point, but a new topic would be required. Slider, I don't know either. I think you are right though, maybe some people are predestined to be wrong. One of God's hobbies is to rebuke, perhaps He...

    The Fallacy of Freewill

    Freewill. It is the key point of many a person's understanding of both their own salvation and of God. I once thought freewill was the greatest thing in the entire world, and then I finally met God, and I understood that freewill is a really good lie that a lot of Christians believe because it...

    He is my "Blanket"

    I was watching a very short video in which John Piper was speaking about memorizing scripture. It was important, he explained, because the Lord speaks to us through His Word. You cannot have a conversation with Christ without the Bible, but the Bible cannot be with you everywhere, so we need to...

    Why is the NT in Greek?

    Such a good response! For shame, we never even thought that it was God's doing! Thank you so very much! :clap

    [__ Prayer __] Strength, Love, and Conversation

    Sort of feel God, or maybe it is just my own heart doing it but it doesn't matter all that much at this point, pushing me towards a ministry career and even specifically helping people in the urban world, and even more specifically the people that no one else wants to even share a pew with...

    What a Marriage!

    This is such an awesome and moving video. The love of Christ is so awesome, and this is truly a Christian marriage in the real sense of the term. WARNING: YOU MAY VERY WELL CRY! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEBzPi2GbkI&feature=related

    A closer look at "baptizo" (to baptize)

    Yeah, I don't like Arminianism, and luckily my church never talks about such things. It seems to me that Arminianism is a total 180 from the Bible because the entire Bible is about God, how awesome He is, how He controls everything and how little control we have. By stating that man can decide...

    Do you know anyone having trouble with demons?

    Praise God! Drugs are a terrible curse on our world, truly the agents of Satan. My brother, for I will call you a brother because I believe God has called you from reading your testimony, my coming to Christ was a long one. Now I didn't have an addiction to something in a needle or a pipe or a...

    The role of the devil- The tempter!

    Satan isn't alone in his fight against all that is good, he is joined by his horde of angels. Look in Revelations and you will see that Satan is cast into the fire along with his brood and they are many in number and very willing to do what Satan bids them in your life. And also remember that...

    WHY did God allow the Jews to suffer the Holocaust?

    Do not take offense, but save your fingers the typing! I was just putting up the questions, I am sure there are answers to each but I didn't really need the answer. But thank you for the interest! Truly, thanks!

    A Place for Liberty?

    Is there a place for "religious liberty" in the life of a Christian? What does the Bible say about it? In the time of the New Testament the Christians were hated where ever they went. They were beaten, stoned, whipped, crucified, hung, burned, and many other like torments. But they took it with...

    A closer look at "baptizo" (to baptize)

    Election, like Calvinism? I don't know what I believe in terms, as I am not very sure what the terms means since I cannot find them in the Bible. What I can tell you, in terms, is that I am a pentecostal who has slightly-less-than-conservative views (in mostly the exact nature of the Spirit's...

    Do you know anyone having trouble with demons?

    Truth! 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge...

    The role of the devil- The tempter!

    I'd say there is truth here. I recall in Job that Satan came to God and God allowed him to tempt Job to an even greater extent, by taking away what he had without just cause. Satan has two capacities in the Bible. Firstly, he is the tempter. He tempts us into doing what is wrong and what...

    The Poverty Gospel

    Truth! We are each a individual and unique child of God. He has a plan for us and He will unfold that plan in our lives. That plan may be to live a rich life, so that we may minister and show love and kindness and generosity to others. And our lot may to live a poor life, so that we may show...

    A closer look at "baptizo" (to baptize)

    Oh how I know! But truth, isn't a demon, the king of all demons, trying his very hardest to destroy our lives? But it'll be something we can and will survive because John 17:9 makes clear that Christ is praying for us at this moment! How can I lose when I have my savior praying for me? I don't...
