I agree Sultan

Excellent stuff David,I've had some of those fallacies used on me, and I'm guilty of using them on other people in the past. Again good stuff

hi Nick,I agree there are two ways to recieve the Holy Spirit. Prayer and laying on of hands. You say that fruit is the only proof of the spirit. But what would you say to those who say that the tongues of manifestation are the proof. 1 Corinthinans 12:7

I appreciate all of your responsesGod's Blessings

somebody clarify 1 John 3:9. Is it saying that those who are truly born again won't sin?

hey Eliyah,Tell me whats wrong with the NIV?

Great points guys,Brother sultan I live in America too and I can relate to the point about materialism. kenrch thanks for the encouragement. My wife and I have 5 children. My wife is a stay at home mom. I'm the provider, our household income is $50k. It is not easy but the Lord is making ways for us. Thanks for the responses.Gods Blessings

you were starting to scare me kenrch, because what little i found on the “Church of the Firstborn” wasn't pleasant. thanks for clearing up the misunderstanding.God's Blessings

Right on Sultan,We must be born again before we enter into the kingdom of God. I'm sure you guys are familiar with plants, particularly annuals. They are “reborn” every spring, but before this happens they die in the winter. Anything that is living cannot be reborn unless it dies. This is the role water baptism plays in rebirth. Water baptism is a…[Read more]

kenrch,I don't know about The Church of the First Born. I did some research and are you referring to the General Assembly? I think there is a difference. I'm having a hard time getting doctrinal statements from any of the Church of the First Born sites i've visited. If you have any sites you recommend please let me know.

Amen Bastian, right on the money

Hi Nick,thanks for the encouragement. We as true believers should seek the approval of God only. Romans 3:4, Let God be true and every man a liar. God's Blessings

God bless you too brother T8,I really appreciate the encouragement. That's what we need more of in the kingdom of God. You have no idea of how much the encouragement helps me. Today was a difficult day, I had a discussion with a Trinitarian co-worker in regards to the Trinity. Let's just say I got the big “H” scarlet letter now. Hebrews 3:13, But…[Read more]

kenrch, All i can say is amen brother

Right on Nick,The scriptures are crystal clear on this issue. It saddens me that we even have to discuss this. John 14:10, Jesus says that the words he speaks are not on His own authority, but the Father who dwells in him does the works. The Father who is the one true God, Jehovah, Yahweh, He was doing the miracles. Christ was speaking by the…[Read more]

No arguments from me Nick,I agree totally. I'm well aware of the difference between the harlot church and the real church. That's why I said “church”, referring to the harlot church. I will definetly check out that passage though.thanks Woutlaw

Good points NickI don't know how things are in New Zealand, but here in America, complacency is definetly the right word to describe the “Church” here. The divorce rates in the “Church” are just as high as the divorce rates of the world. An alarming number of women who are having abortions in this country profess to be “Christians”. The…[Read more]

Personally, I do not believe in the Trinty or the Oneness doctrine. I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Not God the Son, not Jehovah or Yahweh in the Flesh. Its funny that as you look throughout the gospels, you see examples of Jesus casting out demons. And on certain occasions the demons referred to him as the Holy One of God, Or the Son of…[Read more]

Hi Nick,yes this is an interesting forum. I read all the responses. I think we all need to keep in mind the saying of our brother in Christ, Peter. In 1 Peter 3:15, he states, ” but in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with…[Read more]
