I do commend everyone who actively stays on these boards.
It shows that we all have a thirst and hunger for The Lord…and are here to understand our faith better.I strongly believe that the amount of attention we give to these forums, is the way God intended us to seek him, and an example of Jesus telling us to Love God.
I love my wife and kid, but not as much as I do The Word of God.
God Bless.
I completly agree! We could fill our thoughts with money, or anything but we think about God! And from the posts here for many its most of the time which is what God would be pleased with!
Amen

Id like to say I feel God is mostly pleased with what we do on here but there are people who try to argue instead of discuss there views
there are people who will argue you that your experience did not happen and try to get you to believe that you are wrong don't believe them:blues:
I get upset at that it can happen on most forums,
some of us are like babies, new to the Lord and learning,
and everyones experiences are real and should never ever be not believedI believe God works differently with all, and everyones experiences are so special to them, so real, and so undescribable, (for those who have any experiences), and for some it is amazing, so for some not to believe what people describe is sad. For the individual it is real though, who cares what others say!
And remember that Noah was trying to tell people what he experienced and what was to come, and nobody listened, and they all laughed at him too!
“and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be. “
I feel that for the most part, we are all seeking truth. To say that not for one minute have we doubted the doctrines we have come up against as we grew, is not being honest. I have been through the trinity, the oneness and just about everywhere in between, on my way to the belief I hold today at 67.
Some beliefs have changed dramatically since I was saved in 1980, some will go to the grave with me. I received the Holy Ghost right after I got saved and I spoke in tongues and that I know. I don't care to hear any-one's opinion on that one. It was an experience directly from God so I don't need to question that.
However, I have struggled with other questions along the way. I believe I have now figured it all out and I love to share what I have learned but always with two or more scriptures to back up what I say.
I have also learned to read with my spiritual eyes and not with carnal eyes. For instance, a cloud can mean a cloud in the carnal but in the spiritual, it may mean a group of people. We learn this as we go along. It is hard to lay down the carnal understanding for the spiritual. It is a process. Some come to it early, others never will.
But all in all, I love the debate, not the argument. If you won't to argue, I will quietly go away.Eveh,
Debate and argument seem to go hand-in-hand so much of the time. Stick around and you will find that your spiritual skin gets a bit tougher. It's good. It's a place to learn to answer for your beliefs.
Glad that you're here,
MandyNick,,,,,OH NO,,,did I come off as a “know it all”…that isn't what I meant at all. I mean, I am now at peace with what I believe.
I don't mean to sound uppity. I am a dirt poor, mobile home living, Southern, country Gospel, music loving, Pentecostal leaning, Republican, conservative, Christian, old woman,,,, that is pretty much a lot there that a lot of people don't like so it keeps me humble.

I also am a music loving, pentecostal, Holy Ghost filled, once in a while tongue talking, Ive even been called a bible thumper, I've been told that we( apostolics ) are nuts, but some just don't want to see why we do what we do.some try to argue about denominations there is things I like and dislike about all denominations.
to many different views of the bible where people tell others they are wrong and they them selfs may be wrong as well
To all,
I find a use in the “bickering” as it enables me to test my beliefs and strengthen my faith.
I am not sure that our debates qualify as bickering. I have posted on other forums where the discussions fit the definition better.
