We must look at the bible as a whole. All of the Scriptures that you listed were good. The bible also says in Galations 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Meaning in our faith we are all equal in Christ Jesus there is no distinction.

Once saved – always saved?
The doctrine of election, which William M. Branham preached,
that the elected cannot fall away from the Lord, it can entice
people into a false safety, which can be their fall. Branham’s
doctrine of the election does not agree with Ezekiel 33:12-19
or Rom. 11:17-22.

If the elected ones cannot become lost, why then are there so
many warnings in the Bible? Why did Jesus warn us about
false teachers and false prophets, if it is impossible that the
elected ones become lost?

If it is no risk to lose our salvation, then we do not need to
hold us awake or be careful against false teachers. Why then
are Israel’s sins and punishments under their wandering through
the desert, written down as warnings for us? Why then did Paul
write, “Now all these things happened unto them for examples:
and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of
the world are coming. Wherefore let him that thinketh he
standeth take heed lest he falls.” 1 Cor. 10:1-12.

A usual reason that Christians fall away from the Lord, is that
they follow false doctrines, which lead away from the sincere
faithfulness to the Lord. They believe more on preachers and
priests than on the Bible.

A remarkable phenomenon is, that the most resistance against
revival comes from those Christians who have been praying for
revival during many years. They have prayed for revival, but
when the answer to prayers comes, then they become angry.
They do not like to hear the truth of the Assembly of God, the
Body of Christ. Instead to praise Jesus, they are irritated and
afraid. Why? They are spiritually blinded of Satans false
assembly doctrine. They do not have the knowledge of the
Assembly of God. This truth has never been preached in the
churches.

Churches and denominations are Satan’s tools to hold control
over the Christians. The purpose of the churches is that with
false doctrine defend churches and denominations, and to hold
their members in religious slavery, and hinder them to
understand God’s word.

In the time of the apostles any church did not exist, and
therefore the word “church” does not occur in the Bible.
Everywhere in your English Bible where you see the word
“church” it is a grave translation error. It ought to be
“assembly”.

As you can see in my Web site, I am no member in any

Honestly I've never been able to figure out how a sinless inerrant person is meaningfully human at all. You did a nice defense of the orthodox statement. Similar to most of the trinity in answer to (a) or (b) just assert "both" with the how being a mystery. That being said this is a well written apology for the doctrine and I'm going to link to it.

Bobar Mon, 13 Jul 2009 04:29:36 +0000 http://blogogetics.com/?p=17#comment-2447 You are quite wrong about the antichrist Apollanarius his type of antichrist teaching was that the “the logos” was the substituted mind in a “human sensitive soul”, a kind of division between though and emotion; so he also did not believe that Jesus came “in the flesh” either. The problem was when antichrists departed from using the standard of the bible all kinds of false teaching that qualify as an antichrist teach started to emerge since there no long was the standard that “Jesus came in the flesh”. But all who believe in Hypostatic Union are antichrists the Bible teaches this (John 4: 1-3). The Hypostastic Union crowd do not believe that Jesus came in the flesh they are using the word incarnation incorrectly to mean inpsychation since they believe that the Messiah came into a man (i.e. a human soul) and NOT in the flesh; compare how Pual understood the phase “in the flesh” (Philipians 1: 19-30 You will not find any mysterious union in his understanding of the phase “in the flesh”.). From the beginning Satan has misleadingly implied to Eve that she would be like God. And Moses warded Is real repeatedly NOT to Warship other gods even placing into the Ten Commandments that He is Jealous God as a warning. Logically you should not come to an opinion which would make the charges that had lead to Jesus’ crucifixion out to be true, you should not come to opinion which would resemble the deification of the Roman Emperors nor should you come to agree with the Greek Philosophers who disputed Paul over the idea that flesh was inferior. And one last point just ground logic, it would make no sense for salvation to be by the crucifixion and resurrection if a human could be saved by his own works (Galatian 3: 21) since they claim that Jesus is human but what is the biblical view “not from a man nor through a man, but through Jesus Christ” (Galatian 1: 1). As for the word tempted this Greek word is tested and it’s used also of The Father as well. Many have taught that the title The Son of man is a claim to being human but if you look in context “What if you should see The Son of man ascend to where he was at first” (John 6: 62) within context of the same scroll “the first” is a reference to the prolog of this scroll (John 1: 2). It should not seem odd to you that God would give himself a title like this since He had mad man after his own image and likeness sort of like making man according to His own blue-print. You asked why should this matter? Let me ask you something, do you want to study the bible only to end up in hell? Because if you believe in Hypostatic Union that is where you’re going, the letter of John is so clear against Antichrists that John’s latter warns believers not to even greet them; that pretty strong. The bible writes to struggle to enter the narrow way and few are they that find it; I can see by the comments on this site and many others that this is indeed unfortunately true!!!!

Thank you. It helped me to crystalize some of my thinking on the relationship of the parachurch to the Church and in particular, the danger of the parachurch because it is not under the authority of the Church. It, in essence, is a law unto itself. Very dangerous. My guess is that some parachurch organizations continue to be "successful" because they place a high value of its members being accountable to the Church and because the organization itself stays closely involved with the Church.

Parachurch isn't a necessity because of problems in the church but often the outworking of a strength in a good direction. The missionary zeal led Christians to partner together rather than apart, because together they could be more than the sum of their parts. 2. I agree. Anyone who suggests that Christians can claim to be Christians without being committed to a local church is way off beam. 3. Parachurch absolutely has to exist for the good of the local church - at it's best it really really does that, and it's worst it's as bad as bad local churches.. Parachurch should never be an alternative to being in a church - a student involved in one should be fully a part of a local church... parachurch leadership has to be there to serve local churches - with some form of accountability though the specifics of this would vary massively. The issue of a student transitioning between them shouldn't even be a question - a student should always be in the local church and can then also engage in the parachurch/partnership ministry. In the case of a student missions partnership that mission would have as its goal to bring new believers into the local churches in that partnership.... At least that's how the student mission ministry i'm involved in is working :) From your pleas, I suggest
