It makes me sad to see people trying to trick the world with their name it and claim it gospel. These people need the true gospel of Christ. There are many mega church pastors out there teaching the truth. It’s a shame these bad apples influence many to think the vast majority of the church is like them.

So grateful to be a part of a church and pastor who preaches against this false gospel and preaches the true gospel.

The Bible says we should test our faith to ensure it is genuine. As best I can tell, that’s considered a bad thing today. We are taught to never doubt our Conversion even though is is something WE do. I walk to the front, I get Saved, I repented of my sins, I get washed in the Blood, I got the Victory. Personally, I didn’t get Saved. God had to drag me kicking and screaming to it.

I know churches where they go out “Soul Winning”. They win souls! I flinch every time I hear it. Sure it sounds great until you think about it. You weren’t Saved by God; you were Saved by Freedom Baptist Church on June 5, 2011.

People ask me why I go to a Methodist Church even though I would love to go to a conservative Presbyterian church. That’s where God put me so there I am and I’ll go every Sunday until they put me away. I figure He’s got his reasons. It ain’t about me.

I believe it’s easier to witness to a non-believer than someone caught up in false religion. Unless God changes a man’s heart, you can’t get him to dump his sacred idols, especially if he got them from Mama and Daddy.

Then again, that’s true of all of us. Absent sovereign grace, no man would ever come to Christ.

Take a look at this. The prosperity gospel and what they believe vs. truth! The end of the video is my pastor and faithful servant Matt Chandler.

A year and a half later Matt is doing good and still fighting cancer.

Or is that all air-brush and all?

The wonders of modern technology. The hands in the last pic tell the tale.

I’ve rarely seen a post as perfect as that one. Bravo.

[Halls]

Grace Grace Grace is definitely the answer.

Pastor Paula White

Per Wikipedia (Your Mileage May Vary), "Paula considers T.D. Jakes her spiritual father. " (though Church w/out Walls' statement of faith seems orthodox, WRT the Trinity).

Just thought I'd mention that.

I don’t know on that score. I wasn’t inside her head or heart.

She said a lot more stuff that was more vulnerable than

—The Pope
—A list of other guilty in the RC hierarchy
—a list of other Pentecostals and other Evangelicals

who parade around in the stinking finery of their own

self-righteousness and self-justifications.

I started listening to Chandler in 2004. I sent him an email saying that I was stealing ideas from his sermons to use in Sunday School and he answered me back. I loved his comment that his phone was more powerful than the computer he got when he arrived there when it was still a Baptist church.

But the surgeon was pretty good.

Rock throwing tends to be a pretty hazardous hobby.

It does, eh Quix?

The Pope, A list of other guilty in the RC hierarchy, a list of other Pentecostals and other Evangelicals who parade around in the stinking finery of their own self-righteousness and self-justifications.

So, to clarify: are you telling us that rock-throwing is hazardous, but boulder-throwing is a good idea?

Just trying to find the logic in your thought process.

[Halls]

That’s great. Matt is a great guy, pastor, and friend. I’m blessed to be able to sit in The Village Church each weekend. It doesn’t surprise me he responded to your email. He’s very responsive, approachable, and friendly guy. :)

1. It’s never my desire nor intent to diminish at all the super priority of OBEDIENCE.

2. I know it’s very easy to take potshots from the sidelines.

3. There are at least two sides to every story.

4. I wish to extend the same quality and boundless Grace I need.

5. God is her task-master and pay-master.

6. Praise God for all your wood hay and stubble.

7. There will be MANY more revelations soon about many more Christian leaders in all denominations and groups. Relatively few congregations will be left untouched.

8. Folks judging from the sidelines need to guard their hearts, minds, souls, attitudes else they reap unnecessary condemnation to themselves in the process.

9. It is one thing to fittingly call a spade a spade.

10. It is another to dogpile on someone else—particularly a public figure—in order to boost one’s own sense of worth.

"I" had nothing to do with my salvation either. A dead man loves his sin too much to turn to Christ, to wit: As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. (Romans 3:10-12) Your comment about "soul winning" reminds me of an old man I knew from church when I was a boy. He always kept a stack of tracts in his pocket and hung around the parking lots liquor stores, bars, and pool halls in search of sinners. Each time he found someone to say the sinners prayer he would come back to church and tell the story. He usually said something like "I saved another one." Even as a child that made me cringe. I didn't know much, but I knew that if God had not saved the man, he wasn't saved. As for being a Methodist, I have known many faithful Methodists in my life. And you know, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the great 19th century baptist preacher, came to Christ one Sunday morning when he ducked into a little Methodist chapel to escape a snow storm. I know lots of Methodists are apostate, but so are lots of Presbyterians and Baptists. I don't know for sure, but I believe my cousin and her husband are lost. They seem to turn what is good into evil and evil into good. He's a Baptist seminary professor who has probably forgotten more Scripture than I will ever know. However, they turned down the wrong path long ago when he decided the Bible couldn't be trusted, she went along with him.

THE VISION and

particularly THE FINAL QUEST by Rick Joyner

emphasize the utter priority of humility.

This gal is not my preference in style of a list of ways.

Nevertheless . . .

I can’t imagine what happened to the paragraphs in my post.

[Quix]

Maybe I’ll be able to get to that later . . .

The Scriptures used ARE SCRIPTURE.

AND GOD DID MEAN THEM AS HE WROTE THEM.

Some still jump off the cliff with their application.

[Quix]

I don’t know how repentant her heart is.

That’s God’s priority.
