It is indeed a sad thing. We have several family members who are in "churches" like these, and even though I'm not IFB MILITANT fundamentally like David Cloud or others, having moderated some of my viewpoints while still within BIBLICAL guidelines, I'm considered by them to be a MILITANT...

And ALAYMAN hasn't said you should, so why try to make an issue when the Bible is very clear.?

Sin is sin, Brother. Yes, there are sins that are of a more serious nature than others. Still, the point is this, that you don't know what sin anyone has committed unless it comes to light. You very well could have a pedophile in your midst that you know nothing about. It happens, and has...

I truly wish we had an Evangelical Free church in our area, but nobody wants to plant one here. My wife and I no longer attend a Baptist church instead going to a church that split from the United Methodists a couple of years ago over their decision to accept homosexuals as pastors. My friends...

When they have only ONE verse on a certain subject and try to make it a major doctrine they're a cult. The first Baptist college I went to was like that. I never did get to graduate from it at that time. I was just suspended my first semester of the first year for standing up during chapel...

Having STANDARDS for such positions doesn't make them a cult. You've got one twisted, WARPED set of values and opinions. You say they go to one extreme, yet YOU go to the other and don't see yourself as a cult member? UGH!!!

I very well can and have used that logic. You may as well not have your wife and daughter go to church then, because they might already be sitting next to a pedophile, adulterer, or even a murderer. You NEVER can tell. I also noticed that you avoided a bunch in my previous post.... typical...

I know you're joking around here, but you know that's a bunch of horse droppings! We've got a Community Church in a town we used to live in that has a lesbian couple as co-pastors. They were pushing this tripe 20+ years ago and now have a church full of homosexuals, deviants, and unsaved people.

I know of MANY IFB churches that ARE NOT a cult, though like you I have attended many that were. So, once again, "Bruh", let's throw the baby out with the bathwater.... UGH,!!!

So, which is it, "Bruh," women or children? Someone who goes after children usually doesn't go after women. And men who go after women usually don't go after children. I believe it's like @ALAYMAN said, you just want your pound of flesh. You are conjoining two totally different things, though...

Your "way" sounds more judgemental, hateful, and self-righteous, and that's just the fact of the matter.

I grew up in a church that was so legalistic that they wouldn't let a man who smoked teach a SS class, sing in the choir, sing a special, or even take up the offering as an usher. They browbeat my dad so much that he eventually went off the rails, decided to throw off the "standards" enforced...

I know a LOT of people who accepted the Lord using those "canned prayers." Did they have evidence of repentance and true salvation? Most of them YES...many of them NO. It's not up to us to decide at the very beginning whether their prayer was "official." ;)

Some of his answers and attitudes make me think that he's eating funny spinach! Maybe he's been eating "special brownies!"

He'd be a better accuser than Satan standing before the throne of God! Sad....

Well, it talks about stoning for the adulterer, and several other sins. Either way it's death, yet Jesus said "Go and sin no more."Thank God for grace, which of course, you seem to have none.

Think he needs to read "The Scarlet Letter."

They're also being used to stalk ex-wives, girlfriends, wives, husbands, and more. They've had a lot of problems here with that, and also in Augusta Georgia, and Pittsburgh. Prosecutions should be beginning here in the next few months. I'm all for their use in finding criminals, but, there's...

I don't recall reading either of those.

It's far from "changing the subject." You've avoided the subjects of FORGIVENESS (that doesn't necessarily mean to FORGET the sin committed), RESTORATION, which is clearly taught in the Bible (this again doesn't mean FORGETTING and letting it go without restrictions), and following GOD'S...
