And the Baptist General Conference beat them to "Converge America"...

For a minute there, I thought he was talking about Jesse "The Body" Ventura. Had to re-read.

If you got that far, then you should know there can be only one! Otherwise, it means that moment when the baby can be felt kicking.

Your story sounds a lot like mine. Through a series of circumstances over the years, I wound up in a more liberal denomination. The UMC schism last year rocked me a bit and I realized it was not the place I needed to be any more. My wife and I had trouble finding a church around here where we...

Feldick is probably the best-known hyper-dispy out there, unless you get into the small circles of the Berean Bible Society or Grace Gospel Fellowship.

Ransom's explanation here is what most mean when they reference "hyper-dispensationalism", not the average church that preaches the rapture and seven-year tribulation.

Depends on the standards. The IFB church downtown is definitely not a cult, IMO. If I weren't divorced and remarried, I'd rather go there than the SBC church where I grew up. Yeah, they're strict, and that's fine. The UMC church (now non-denom megachurch) that I used to attend is heading...

NOTE: the Pentecostals in question do not deny the deity of Christ; conversely, they deny the Trinity in favor of a view based on Colossians 2:9 where it says "in [Christ] all the fullness of the Godhead dwells in bodily form." As for Church of Christ, they ALL preach baptismal regeneration to a...

The Dake notes are...interesting. Some of them are square on the money and others are, let's just say, way unorthodox. Those notes, for instance, are where Benny Hinn got the notion that each member of the Trinity has their own separate spirit, soul, and body. I can't do the Dake thing any...

Sarcasm is my spiritual gift.

Poking around his website, it looks like a hot mess of "NAR" style prophecy mixed with "name it and claim it" teachings. I don't think he's mixed up with Armstrongism, though. STILL...I'd keep my distance, as far as possible.

That "Tomorrow's World" bunch is particularly aggressive. Somehow my wife (another prophecy nut) got on their mailing list and getting off of it is like the Hotel California: you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. So it comes in the mailbox and goes straight to the trash...

I would suspect anything NOT a PCC sponsored camp meeting, e.g. some Southern Baptist camp.

Pigpen McKernan (RIP) from The Grateful Dead has entered the chat...

I still remember the kerfluffle over the Gaithers' "The King Is Coming" since the Gaithers were amillennialists and there was no mention of the rapture, etc. Also Dallas Holm's "Rise Again" got some pushback since critics claimed the lyrics were putting words in Jesus' mouth.
