Church That Teaches Grace

Kathr~ It's fine if you feel you need to correct someone and/or help someone for we all need help and guidance at times....but we must remember what it states in 2 Timothy 2:23-25 "Avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing they generate strife. And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel, but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition." Also we must all be reminded what the Bible teaches us about the true character of the new man: tender mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering, bearing with one another and forgiving, love.

	Awesome post Mark Eaton...and yes, I feel like that all the time. But God will have his day of vengeance so I put my faith in that. I hope God builds up a righteous Army before His day of wrath, that people like you and me and many many others, might be able to defend our God, not with the weapons of man, but with the sword of the Spirit.

Church That Teaches Grace

Kathr~ I care about you, but you don't need to give MarkV. such a constant hard time. Calvin had some messed up ways, but he brought out the doctrines of grace. Even Wesley respected these doctrines of grace for they are completely biblical, but the only problem that Wesley really had with TULIP is the only problem I have with it...TULIP is a correct teaching overall if it's understood correctly, but normally many people take advantage of God's grace in these TULIP teachings and turn His grace into a license to sin.

MarkV~ I liked your last post, and yes, we most definitely need more truly Holy Spirit filled preachers in our day since the miracle of regeneration comes through hearing the word of God! People need to realize that if a person does not experience an overpowering, complete, regenerated, altogether new, Holy Spirit filled transforming change in their life that now sheds and despises ways of darkness, and now embraces and lives for the ways of Light, that that person is not yet truly saved/elect.

What Is Jesus Waiting For

Linda~ You wrote to me: "I am believing God for the release of the expression of Christ through the sons of God in such a way that everything that flows out of Adam will back up because of the walk of the priests. It isn't the talk, it's the walk." Linda, can you please explain more specifically what you expect to see in the future in relation to this statement. Thank you. Also can you provide some scripture references if possible, thanks.

	Good observation Lee. Wal-rev can you please respond to Lee's post. Thank you.

What Is Jesus Waiting For

Mark V. ~(the other blog is closed), Paul Washer does not really teach Calvinism, he mostly just teaches that Calvinism is not the issue, but rather that Regeneration is the issue. I respect him greatly for that. Check out his sermons...you need to listen to him before drawing a conclusion. I'm not even terribly upset about his version of OSAS because he tells Christians that if they are true Christians they had better make sure their lives are reflecting a continual growth in holiness or else they had best question their salvation. We definitely need more preachers like him in churches of our day.

Today's Biggest Sins

So far I have not heard Linda say anything bizaare, and she is also very polite which I greatly respect and shows the fruits of the Spirit. Mostly Linda is saying that the greatest miracle is the miracle of rebirth/regeneration and she is absolutely right. Other miracles (physical healings, tongues etc.) are probably quite simple in comparison to the miracle of rebirth. Of course the wrath of God is approaching, but we as Christians must still move on with our God given mission and seek to help lead as many to Christ as possible through the preaching and teaching of the Word so others might come to a saving faith.

Today's Biggest Sins

I have never heard of Christian Now theology. I only listen to preachers like Paul Washer. So I basically only listen to 3 or 4 preachers that I feel are firmly biblically based. In fact I just got off the phone with Heartcry Missionary Society where Paul works. lol I have only spoken with Linda for my first time this week so I don't fully know her beliefs. I don't doubt that God can possibly work miracles even in our day. God bless.

What Is Jesus Waiting For

Kathr~ If Linda and I want to plead to God for an awakening upon this wicked world...that is what we're going to do. I know I'm not going to waste my life thinking doom and gloom...I'm going to believe that God can do the impossible in this wretched world. I believe that it is always darkest before the dawn. I believe in God's Almighty Power. That is what love is Kath...for love believes all things, bears all things, hopes all things and endures all things. I believe God's love is limitless, and I refuse to put limits on it.

What Is Jesus Waiting For

Linda~ Stay in the hope, and keep passing on the encouraging words. Some people want to put limits on God's Almighty Power. God can awaken this wretched world, and He can rain down/pour down the Holy Spirit through His faithful children who continue to walk steadfast in Him. I am going to keep the faith and believe that His mighty Light can still shine in this vast darkness. I still have great hopes in a mighty reformation, and a great revival. I do believe...and I'm glad that you do too.

Today's Biggest Sins

Stay in the beautiful faith Linda for as you stated on 10/26: "I believe the greatest miracle that takes place is the translation of one from the power of darkness into the kingdom of His dear Son - someone being born-again, being taken from death unto life. It is because I believe this that raising the dead, healing the sick, casting out demons, and speaking with new tongues is no big deal." You are not one of little faith like many here. I pray others might have such faith too, and know Christ's mighty power that can work through us. For as we all know: Many have a form of godliness, but deny the power.

Saved By Doing Things

Miche~ You deserve a big hug for continuing so steadfast. I am so proud of you. You are a lady who wants to make sure that people daily test their faith to make sure they have the evidence of living in the faith so they can be 100% confident of their salvation. This is what the Bible tells us to do...this is part of what it means to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. How we NEED more strong men and women like you in this day who encourages us to grow in the Lord. God bless you sister.

Saved By Doing Things

Mark V.~ You're going to be surprised, but my favorite preacher in this dark day is a Calvinist (he's not a hard core Calvinist, and he barely talks about it, but yet he tends to side with it.) His name is Paul Washer, and I praise God he placed that man in this wicked world. Please listen to his sermon "The sermon that angered many." What Paul Washer is saying in this sermon is exactly my views because he stands completely on the word of God. I see things 99% in accordance with Paul, and if anyone could be my spiritual twin brother, I would say he is that person. I have a slight disagreement with him in one area, but if you listen to him, you will understand how I see God because I think 99% exactly like him.

What Is Jesus Waiting For
	Amen Linda! You are a wise lady. Let's pray we might be blessed with more truly Holy Spirit filled preachers in this world who might help turn this rebellious nation into one that seeks humility and righteousness once more.

Are The End Times Here
	Rhonda~ I wish everyone was 'awake' like you in regard to this issue, and I enjoyed your post. Please share more about what you know about Daniel and Ezekiel's prophecies to soon be fulfilled about the last revival and the 3 1/2 years of tribulation to follow. Thank you! I can sense a true reformation on the arise already beginning to occur in the world.

How To Get People Saved
	Miche~ I like your statement: Instead of teaching the unbiblical -- ONCE saved ALWAYS saved -- True Christians should be teaching the biblical -- GET saved STAY saved!! Perfectly said!

Is Remarriage Accepted By God
	I don't think we should make light of what wal-rev is saying because --- just look at this crazy mixed up world...does anyone think God loves this constant state of people divorcing and broken families? I know God is exceedingly forgiving, but I believe we need to be ever so cautious and fearful of God when it comes to the subject of divorce. It at all possible, STAY married.

Is Remarriage Accepted By God

wal rev~ Please read what Glenn wrote on 10/20. I believe what Glenn wrote is correct, but could you please share your thoughts on it as well. Thank you. Also, God is a forgiving and merciful God. Let's say someone is an unsaved Christian and living in adultery because he married someone who is illigitimately divorced. This unsaved person later hears the message of salvation and repents and believes. However, he or she is living in adultery and cannot get out of it since he or she is married to that person. How can that person be assured of salvation?
