Verses Freebirds ignore or misunderstand when reading their Bibles.

[Recovering IFB]

So-called "Freebirds" have a great disconnect between evangelism and Christian living. They seem to firmly believe that it is best to hide any cross-bearing or commandment keeping in order to attract others into the fold.

please, provide proof of what is happening since you seem to know what we "Freebirds" are doing and how we evangelize

However, Christ in the great commission included that we are to teach the new converts to "observe whatsoever I HAVE COMMANDED YOU." (Matt 28:20)  Yes, there are commands in the New Testament for Christians to obey.

again, provide examples that Freebirds are not doing....
Im also going to start to say your beleive and method of evangelism will differ vastly from mine.....

Acts 24:25  And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
And it worked!  Definite signs of conviction were seen.  What was that Paul reasoned with this lost man about, again?  Righteousness?!  Oh, my!  Temperance!?!  Are you kidding?  Judgment to come?  Was he kidding?  How are you going to attract people talking like that.

Luke 14:27  And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

once again, please elaborate your thoughts with examples rather than just general statements and fasle accusations. I am going to expect that we will differ on our veiws on righteousness and especially on temperance

How are you going to attract people talking like that.

I'll tell you how, we share the Gospel, Jesus's death, burial and resurrection, His victory over sin....you know, faith comes by hearing?
Acts 13:48 When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord; and as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.

Well, to start with ... how do you know I'm referring to you?  I don't recall saying that this is a description of "Recovering IFB," or your claim to exclusive use of the term "freebirds."  But apparently, when I tossed the rock into the pack, guess who yelped?

Consider 2Peter 2:9-22.  Considering your chosen moniker, dwell especially on verse  22

And of course you can not provide any proof of what "Freebirds" do, except a lame comeback sprinkled with a verse which poses as an answer,
You have to show what and where people are  doing  and provide Scriptural support for your claims. Until then, you're just flapping your gums.

Heb 10:24  And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Heb 10:25  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Buy whatever your soul gets worked up over, whether farm animals or intimate animal companions, for grape juice or for grape juice concentrate, or whatever your soul desires, then have a potluck in the fellowship hall followed by a night of hymn singing, you and your family.

Luk 6:46  And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Luk 6:46  And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

You mean that whole neglect the poor, foster injustice, and preemptively murder your enemies thing?

Luk 6:46  And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

22 Many will say to me on that day, ?Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?? 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ?I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!?

I'm really glad to hear of this recent change of heart of yours regarding the Scriptures' support for NT tithing.  Maybe I've misjudged your Freebird status.

No, we free birds believe in tithing too....except when we are away, we use that money to get things that our souls lusts after(usually bourbon and cigars for me) and we partake and thank God for those precious gifts He has bestowed on us.

I can determine what I set before my eyes but there is a lot set before them by others. I have no control over that other than to look another direction.
