Three totally different Christianities
Started this discussion. Last reply by robert gilbert Aug 4, 2010. 6 Replies 0 Likes
When people comment about Christians and try to lump them up in one big group it is not fair, as well as totally ignorant. I know among the pysdo-intellectuals it vogue to make fun of Christians. To…Continue

Speaking in tongues

Speaking in tongues.When they spoke in Tongues at Pentecost it was the same sign spoken in Acts 10:45-46, Acts 19:6-7 and 1 Corinthians chapter 12-14. In Acts 2 the tongues were a sign and were…Continue

Hi Ross,
Exactly! Christ breathed on them, and indeed they received the Holy Ghost. What time does this happen? After they have believed that indeed He is risen from the dead. We know they believed because Thomas who was not with them fell short of…

Interesting, I have read the blog regarding 'tongues' and respectfully I feel the author makes a couple of common mistakes, that of, one, saying that receiving The Holy Spirit at salvation is the same as Baptism in The Holy Spirit.…
Jimmy Nduruchi replied to Darren's discussion 'Speaking in tongues'
Mike,
I agree with you 101. What most of us ‘Christians’ have failed to achieve is love. Paul wrote to Timothy about our days, calling them perilous times because the love of many would wax cold. Indeed we have so many Christians around…

Thanks, Cindy, for your words of patience; one of the flavours of spiritual fruit. I, for one, need frequent reminders to 'wait on the Lord'.Don't be too surprised if he decides to use you to introduce the subject! But as others…
Cindy Skillman replied to Darren's discussion 'Speaking in tongues'
I'm very interested in this issue, but not in a hurry about it. The whole matter of spiritual gifts (except for the more usual ones such as teaching and edifying prophecy) hasn't come up in our group yet. We're probably divided…

Ross Reeves replied to Darren's discussion 'Speaking in tongues'
great conversations...
My perspective comes after reading Pagan Christianity; a post-institutional view.(& also a post-charismatic view)
I think all the gifts must mirror the Giver, the Holy Spirit. Spirit is described as organic &…
John Tyler replied to Darren's discussion 'Speaking in tongues'
I agree completely with you, Jimmy, that without repentance we cannot be filled by the Spirit; I also think that some people who claim (and maybe believe) that they are 'speaking in tongues' are actually 'babbling as pagans do'.…
Jimmy Nduruchi replied to Darren's discussion 'Speaking in tongues'
Was Paul himself speaking in tongues or was he telling others about something he does not do like most people like doing these last days? Paul Himself says he spoke in tongues more than anyone else. Any spiritual gift goes to the one who HUMBLES…
Jim London replied to Darren's discussion 'Speaking in tongues'
John, these are very helpful words of wisdom that you have spoken into this discussion: "We should not take one passage of scripture and use it to 'prove' that another passage is wrong. Whenever we find ourselves in the situation of…
John Tyler replied to Darren's discussion 'Speaking in tongues'
I think that both Jason and Oliver make perfectly valid points, and this brings us back to the question of how one reads scripture, and how one's reading compares with one's experience of God's work in one's own life.
I…
Jim London replied to Darren's discussion 'Speaking in tongues'
Thanks for bringing forward some thoughts that contribute to the musings that I've had over these texts for decades. One of the benefits of hearing each other!
Oliver Elphick replied to Darren's discussion 'Speaking in tongues'
I'm afraid I find Zerhusen's interpretation thoroughly unconvincing.
First, a sign is something significant. A baby in a manger is unusual and therefore a sufficient indication of the right baby. Miracles are also very…
Jason Zhang replied to Darren's discussion 'Speaking in tongues'
Brothers, I too was raised in a charismatic church and attempted to speak in tongues on several occasions. It always seemed very forced and fake to me, but I did not question the teaching until I went to college. I went to a cessationist school…
Stephen H Cornell replied to Darren's discussion 'Speaking in tongues'
hello! Experientially, I am in the exact position you are in! I believe the Holy Spirit is Sovereign God and manifests himself as He chooses which means just as Paul said in Romans, some do one thing and some another by the self-same…

A lesson I wrote in 04 you can use it and fine tune it for your church. About the consequences of doing right.

Posted on May 17, 2010 at 9:00am 0 Comments 0 Likes
What is Baptism? It is a work so therefore it cannot be needed for salvation. No we are not saved by baptism we are saved by Jesus Christ. Salvation is a gift of grace and not of works. If we are saved it has nothing to do with whether or not we are baptized or not.…

I don't know of any books off the top of my head, but I know they're out there.
One place to start is the following link:

I'll find some more resources to share with you as time allows.

Michael Hartson replied to Darrell Meeks's discussion 'Tithe-Whipped'
Very interesting. If you know of some book or material that dives a little deeper into the subject, I would appreciate it. Send my a message if you know of anything.
Darrell Meeks replied to Darrell Meeks's discussion 'Back in music again.'
I just uploaded a song called "Be Still My Soul" on my page that I re-mastered, re-instrumented, added effects, and made a simple midi file sound fantastic.
Enjoy
Darrell Meeks replied to Darrell Meeks's discussion 'Tithe-Whipped'
Michael,
I certainly understand what you're saying. Very few ministers ever speak the TRUTH about the tithe.
In OT times, the tithe was the inheritance of the Levites who were not allowed to make a living by any means as was common among the…

Jossimar, bienvenido al blog de MHI, espero que aqui encuentres informacion relevante sobre como desarrollar discipulos, lideres e iglesias utilizando una proceso estrategico simple/organico. Bendiciones!
Michael Hartson replied to Darrell Meeks's discussion 'Tithe-Whipped'
I have seen a lot of sermons on the tithing, or giving; some of them very strange. I remember some time a go when my adult daughter was a teen, and going through a very difficult time, was being hauled off in a police car. We called the pastor…
Michael Hartson replied to Joshua Westcott's discussion 'Challenges of the Small Town'
yes, Quite true. "Doing Church" in house with out the Organic content, is just switching buildings. We as people tend to compartmentalize areas of our life. Church in this part, school in this part, marriage in this part,…
Jossimar Diaz-Castro liked Marvin Lorenzana's blog post '¿Como hace discipulos tu iglesia?'
Darrell Meeks replied to Darrell Meeks's discussion 'Tithe-Whipped'
Amen to that.
It's also of interes that those who had, for example, only nine lambs or calves born in a year, they were not required to hand over anything.
One thing I will say is that I thoroughly appreciate the OT system of…
Catherine Seebald replied to Joshua Westcott's discussion 'Challenges of the Small Town'
You're so right, Darrell! Many of the house churches I'm familiar with are not organic expressions of church but are really just institutional church in miniature. As Frank Viola says, organic church (OC) is one of the most…
Michael Hartson commented on Jim London's blog post 'What do we do when there is no group to join?'
When I think about the most significant points in my Christian walk, they did not take place in an organized, institutionalized environment. It was incidental to my world, but wholly intentional by God.
Michael Hartson replied to Michael Hartson's discussion 'Why Can't Christian's Hang Out?'
Sure, it's intentional. God is responsible for the Results, we are responsible for the action. God asks us to share our lives, talk to others about him, love others. Who gets saved, or what a person does or does not do or what…
Jim London replied to Michael Hartson's discussion 'Why Can't Christian's Hang Out?'
Michael, you are sharing and asking about something that is very crucial. Often the pattern is "We don't want to be that programmed meeting all designed and led by the fellow hired to make it all run smoothly. We want to be more…
