Hello from the Coastal Maine

Hello everyone, I'm a new babe in the woods here. I'm looking forward to sharing the word with whomever has the same mind.
I have no denominational ties. According to research I have done on the internet there are 38,000 Protestant denominations and and splits and fractures within the Roman Catholic church as well.

Acts 2:47 states that the Lord adds daily to the church such as should be saved. Since God never makes a mistake that means there are no unsaved in the church that Christ is building. That is why Christ could state the gates of hell will not prevail against His church. Matt. 16:18

God has said in 1 Peter 2:5 that the believer is a living stone that builds up a spiritual house and that we are of his royal priesthood. That means we can go to the father ourselves through Christ and have the father hear our prayers.

And has said if we come out of man 's religions {38,000 plus} the Lord will be our God.

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
2 Cor 6:16-18 (KJV)

In every man made religion there are saved and unsaved alike worshiping together. The reason most claim is so they can save the unsaved. I can't find that in my bible, can you.

However here is what God says about fellowship for a believer.

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

2 Cor 6:14 (KJV)

Since Christ draws all men to himself we don't need to fellowship with the unsaved. John 12:32

The Lord says there is only one faith and not the faith of our choice. What a lie Satan and his minions have spread among those who have put their faith in false teachers. When we should just have our faith in Christ and his word.

5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph 4:5 (KJV)

Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Phil 2:2 (KJV)

Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
Phil 3:16 (KJV)

Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Phil 2:2 (KJV)

10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1 Cor 1:10 (KJV)

These are some of the reason from God's word why I only do all things in Christ's name only.

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Col 3:17 (KJV)

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Col 3:1-2 (KJV)
 
Re: Hello Coastal Maine

Thank you Timothy for your welcome. yes i will be posting in the forums. Most don't like what I post for I only go by God's word only and never by sectarian doctrine. I find there is a vast difference between sectarian thinking and what is given in God's word if and when a person takes what is said at face value other then putting a sectarian twist to it. Those twist is what has caused over 38,000 denominations.
Thanks again, Timothy.

Welcome Tomlane! I think I responded to a post of yours regarding denominations. :D
 
Hi Free, if you ever did respond to one of my post, I don't remember of it. Could it be someone who understands God's word about denominations? Often times when two or more people speak the same things, {Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. } Perhaps we were speaking the same things and were of one mine so we seem alike?
1 Cor 1:10 (KJV)

Hi Tom,
Welcome to Christian Forums :)

As your finding out, were a pretty diverse group here expressed in many different ways. Ahh, the perfect body of Christ.

God Bless you Tom.

Grace and Peace,

Jeff
 
Hi Jeff, thank you for your warm welcome. I'm very much looking forward to us comparing God's word for his enlightening truth. Not only do we learn from our encounters but it makes us better prepared for God's will in our lives; not only strengthen us but help us be wiser in helping others.
I do believe you are a brother in Christ but just haven't learned yet the proper way to rightly divide God's word properly. I think perhaps I might make a thread on that. lol
Anyway thanks again and I really appreciate that. Most always its so easy to tell a real brother in Christ from one who is spiritually dead or not allowing any real measure of the Lord into their life. I have been on both sides of the fence so I have a first hand knowledge on carnality and refreshing forgiveness of the Lord love.

Vick, its all Jeff's fault for being so kind. I never do anything wrong. If you believe that I have a bridge for sale in a national park. No water under it, so maintenance is low and no taxes. Its only six feet from the ground so easy maintenance, low over head. I'm sure it will go fast so let me know soon. One more thing. easy financing, and you get free bailout money for a bonus if you purchase this month.
