The "Jesus Only" movement, also known as Oneness Pentecostalism or oneness theology, teaches that there is only one God, but denies the tri-unity of God. In other words, oneness theology does not recognize the distinct persons of the Godhead: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It has various forms / modes / manifestations—some see Jesus Christ as the one God, who sometimes manifests Himself as the Father or the Holy Spirit. The core doctrine of Oneness Pentecostal / Jesus Only is that Jesus is the Father and Jesus is the Spirit. There is one God who reveals Himself in different "modes."...

“Segregation, to use the terminology of the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber,” contended King, “substitutes an ‘it’ for a ‘thou’ … and ends up relegating persons to the status of things [such as a color or a race]. When you divide what should be united, you are not an integrationist. You are a segregationist. And you are guilty of sin. We are made in the image of God. He designed us and defined us, and when we compromise His description of who we are — when we hyphenate our identity through our contrived definitions and divisions — we not only compromise...

Now as my body comes together in one mind and spirit truly it is then I adorn my Bride in my presence. Doors open and heaven falls like rain upon my children of light then you shall experience pools of water in dry places and springs of water rise up as new wine in the vessels I take delight in, my obedient ones that "know my voice" and have come up from faith and stepped out of trust into my chariot of "Knowing" where I take you into my divine nature for there is no guessing here and waiting is...

Tyler Perry gives T.D. Jakes $1 million dollars and lays hands on him for a fresh anointing!

My rabbi explained: One way to gain insight into what the mass of humanity believes and feels is to study its billboard and magazine advertising. Advertising themes which are recycled again and again are those themes which experience has proven successful, messages which strike responsive chords in the hearts of millions of people. And if we consider the tens of millions of dollars spent on advertising religion, one central theme stands out: "Turn to G-d—it will make you feel better." "The family that prays together, stays together"; "Something good is going to happen to you"; Catholic schools— schools with a...

Supernatural consumation of all my obedient servants is about to congeal together as one and in this oneness great power Shall be released for did I not say there is power in agreement , then watch and see as Babyl many shall come together in one place yet this shall bring great reward not division or segregation for the Oil of Unity shall flow as off of Aaron's beard and this shall create a river of oneness that shall surround the globe and concrete the unity of the Mind of Christ in all my obedient ones as one eternally and...

With all these beliefs is there a chance that I could be wrong, and if I am – then who is right – and who’s reality can what is right or wrong be compared to?

"[W]e are born to be happy, to be abundantly supplied with every good thing, to have fun in living, to consciously unite with the Divine Power that is around us and within us, and to grow and expand forever. " -- Ernest Holmes

Yeah My kingdom come alive through you " . So let...

Is it true that the name of God the Father is 'Jesus' according to John 5:43? The answer is "no," and here is why. First, the term, "name," in John 5:43 does not refer to one's proper name, like "John" or "Larry." It refers to the Father's authority. Jesus did not come in his own name; that is, he did not come by his own authority. Jesus did not speak by his own authority (Jn. 12:49). His doctrine was not his. It was not of his devising, but it was the doctrine which his Father gave to him to deliver...

Folks, the table I shared with you a couple of days back, documenting the different anti-Trinitarian heresies, the time of their birth, and the people and events leading their rebuttal and condemnation as false teaching, had become a piece of conversation in here. One user observed that nowhere in the authorities in favor of the Trinity do we find "the Bible" and that's because the Trinity, so he said, is a heretical, devil-inspired concept foreign to Scripture and the Truth, or words to that effect. I suppose that he was talking about the second two tables because the first one...

I got an extermely interesting book from my wife for Christmas. It's called The Self-Aware Universe: How Consciousness Creates the Material World by Amit Goswami, Ph.D. The book combines quantum science, traditional mathematics, philosophy, psychology, and spirituality in a lively discussion of a scientific, monistic cosmology. A very interesting book for anyone interested in ideas. I recommend it highly.

1st Corinthians, Chapter 12: 4 Now there are diversities of gifts but there is only one Spirit. 5 And there are diversities of ministries, but there is only one Lord. 6 And there are diversities of powers, but it is the One God who works all things in all people. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every person as help. 8 For to one is given by Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit. 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healing by...

In his final "Sermon By the Sea" given in 1959 at Asilomar, California, Ernest Holmes shared with us his vision of the outcome of global well-being, the human species and Earth transformed by the consciousness that he had articulated as Science of Mind. His Sermon is a prescription for planetary resurrection, a prophetic, millennial assertion of the role of Religious Science in bringing about the world's rebirth: [Science of Mind] is the most direct impartation of Divine Wisdom that has ever come to the world, because it incorporates the precepts of Jesus, and Emerson, and Buddha, and all the rest...

Preaching abundant living The Rev. Della Reese Lett teaches lessons of material success and personal empowerment in her own church. Della Reese, who played a down-to-earth heavenly being on "Touched by an Angel" isn't acting as she stands in front of a congregation on Sundays in West Hollywood. She's preaching — in her own church. And her message has no mention of sin, no mention of good and evil and no endorsement of sacrifice if it means doing without. She talks about abundant living, not in the hereafter but in the here and now.

To: onedoug The Gospels are profound, but a little more problematic for me in terms of Jesus as Messiah. How so? That would be a more interesting discussion... 21 posted on 03/24/2003 3:38 PM PST by Alex Murphy [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 19 | View Replies | Report Abuse ] And so, since you evinced an interest in response, and I’d promised to keep it short, I thought to make this into its own thread in the hope we all might learn some more, as FreeRepublic has so often helped me to learn since I signed...
