Really? Some claim OSAS , some do not. Some say there is a trintity, some do not.Some beleive that worshipping on Sunday is the sign of the beast, some say women can be ordained, some say abortion is OK, some say homosexual behavior is normal.Yet all claim to being guided by the Spirit, all read the same Bible. How do you reconcile these diffrerences?

I do agree and have actually proven that within my own community. There are many churches in my area. All different denoms. The baptist church is in total agreement with the non-denom I go to now.
I would say it is about 4(I didnt include my other 2 pastors since they are in the same church.
) plus all the people on this forum whom I spoke with from all over the world who apparently believe the same things. OHH and plus all the born again christian friends I have that go to other churches all over my state. We actually agree as well.
There are many denoms that are really falling away from NT teaching. It is sad but true. I would most certainly say that churches that do not follow the Trinity,that say abortion is ok and homosexuality is ok and women being ordained is ok are not being led by the HS. They can say they are but if they are so clearly going against biblical principles then they are not.
None of this surprises me, really. The entire non-denominational movement is simply a new marketing technique for the Baptist churches…same product/ new, improved packaging. There is a thread here speaking to the fact that many Baptist churches are changing their signs to unclear names such as “The Family Church” here in my town.I do agree and have actually proven that within my own community.

I know several pastors from different churches that I can go to when I have a question that may come up here. I have, in the past asked them questions and surprise surprise they all said the same thing.
Go figure:shrug: I would say ,from experience we are not all that different as catholics may want to believe we are(protestants that is).
Ok, so everybody seems to have drawn a ‘line in the sand’, so to speak. A place where they can say “beyond this belief lies heresy”. But what about the people that have drawn lines that YOU have crossed? Couldn’t they say the same of YOUR church? And why do you feel it is OK to condemn perfectly nice people on the other side of your own line?There are many denoms that are really falling away from NT teaching.

We can only tell by someones actions.
They are going against Biblical prinicples per your ***personal ***interpertation of Scriture. Per there personal interpertation of sciputre you are going against biblical principles yet you boht claim t be guided by the Spriit. Hw can that be?There are many denoms that are really falling away from NT teaching. It is sad but true.

I thought you could tell becuase you were receiviang *personal * guidance from the the Spirit ?We can only tell by someones actions.
Not devout enough , evidiently, to know what transpired at Vatican II.There were no changes in matters of faith or maoralsat Vatican II. no teachnings were changed. What are they upset about?
I will not condemn them so to speak–just say they are teaching false doctrines and leading people away from the truth.Ok, so everybody seems to have drawn a ‘line in the sand’, so to speak.

Such is the shifting sand of the ‘reformation’: No rock, no foundation for truth to be built upon, no reason to believe anything is absolute.
And you base this conclusion on what?I will not condemn them so to speak–just say they are teaching false doctrines and leading people away from the truth.
I agree and I for one am happy I found that church and that I am part of that church(Body of Christ). AMEN!!
Before you get all crazy on me–you know we have different definitions of who the church is.
DUHH look at the episcopal church
Which BTW I have to go to a service in Aug. with my mom. She will just not leave. It is all she has ever known. I dont know why you need to ask me these questions when you believe the same way.How do YOU determine Biblical Truth?DUHH look at the episcopal church
I base this on biblical truth.
I guess you are trying to bait me or back me into a corner.
The point is that you claim all Protestants agree, because you are self-selecting a group of Protestants who agree with you. It’s like saying, “All dogs are poodles, because only poodles count as dogs.”DUHH look at the episcopal church

Well, I dont determine biblical truth–God does since He wrote it and He alone determined it.
Hi,
Ok, the HS just told me that personal interpretation of scripture is not scriptural.I will not condemn them so to speak–just say they are teaching false doctrines and leading people away from the truth.
