    Paul Walker converted to Christianity.

    I always wondered.. Can someone be really saved and still stay in Hollywood? I grew up in India.. Watching movies is considered a sin!! I always hear about Hollywood celebrities being saved and converted.. But then, no change in their life style.. They still get divorced and continue with their...

    The Denominational Gap

    I am part of AoG church. Its a small one with some 40 to 50 members.. Probably in a week only 30 turn up though! we have Bible study once a week... Morning and evening services on Sunday.. The Pastor is very experienced and has been pastoring for more than 25 years.. A true servant of God and...

    Strange Fire conference - Anyone followed?

    I totally agree with you.. That's exactly why I wanted to start this thread! I agree with all the points mentioned about the crazy extreme charismatics.. But it's not fair to say that people are not saved just because they believe gifts of the Spirit are operational today. That is where they...

    Strange Fire conference - Anyone followed?

    I think I will agree with John MacArthur on everything except the fact that gifts have ceased to exist :) I am not a theologian. But I think practically. For example, there were demon possessed people at the time of Jesus and early church. Jesus and Apostles were able to heal them. I don't see...

    Best bible translation

    Personally, I refer to many translations.. NIV is one which I use often.. But when I am meditating on certain topics, I prefer using ESV.. Sometimes I prefer NLT over NIV.. English is not my mother tongue.. So sometimes it is easier to use NLT or NIV..

    Strange Fire conference - Anyone followed?

    Good night! You can call me Ravi.. A lot of people call me Ravin. But there is no such name :) Sorry, not trying to be offensive.. I think it is better to let others know rather than keeping it in my mind wondering why people are not calling me by the right name :) Talk to you tomorrow.. Have a...

    [ Testimony ] Peace from the Lord

    This might be a strange testimony for many.. But I am really proud and happy to share.. It is about how the Lord brings comfort and peace at time of distress.. My wife got conceived with our second baby and it was 48 days.. That's when it happened all of a sudden.. On a Saturday she had a...

    Strange Fire conference - Anyone followed?

    What is your opinion on the abuse by charismatic preachers? I feel like there is more abuse than genuine gospel preaching.. Emotional experience is not what is required.. Willful conviction to follow Christ is what is needed.. That is the work of Holy Spirit.. It is not to make a person cry like...

    Strange Fire conference - Anyone followed?

    Well well.. I never thought the discussion would take this direction! would appreciate if we can get back to the original intent of the thread.. What do you people think about the conference? The first comment was pretty much what I was expecting to hear.. I also know that there are many "open...

    Strange Fire conference - Anyone followed?

    I have huge respect for John MacArthur and one of the preachers to whom I listen very regularly. Recently he held a conference by the title Strange Fire. It was against the charismatic practices. It has triggered lot of heat from pentecostal/charismatic side. The issue is, did he paint with a...

    Paying for your sins (in this life...)

    This is what I believe. Sin brings curse. Jesus nailed the curse of the sin on the cross. Wages of sin is death. He has bought us out of that with His precious blood. However, we reap what we sow! While we are in this fallen world, some how sin will enter our lives. Through the blood of Jesus...

    Loving the Lord, not the world

    I have a question on this.. Now let's take one simple example.. Let's assume I am a big fan or ice cream.. I crave for ice creams.. everytime I see it, I just want to eat it.. This is a very simple example.. in reality, i feel like that for electronic gadgets!! But for some it could be on cars...

    When should a Christian own/not own a Lamborghini?

    How do you differentiate between preachers taking money from people in the name of God and God truly blessing them Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4

    When should a Christian own/not own a Lamborghini?

    As long as it is the fruits of true labor, it should be fine! Of course, I don't accept preachers riding private jets. They did not "labor". I think for Christians work and labor are very different. My pastor put it very well. Work - What we go unto God. Labor - What we do unto world. Often...

    Why didn't the serpent (devil) tempt Adam?

    Did Adam get deceived that he is doing it in the name of Love? Because, Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil...

    repentance? miracles?

    I am from pentecostal background.. Have attended Pentecostal churches all my life.. I do listen to plenty of Reformed preachers.. Because that is where I can really get some deep messages! That's the truth! Unfortunately, the focus on Pentecostal churches is always about being filled with Holy...
