    Is Official Or Formal Church Membership In A Local Church According To Scripture – Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 3, 2025
     | 132 views

    Formal church membership that involves special membership and voting rights is contentious. In this Part 2, I open up the matter to show how out of sync the matter is with the membership of the one Body of Christ, and the discrimination. We delve into some scriptures to bring this out.

    IS OFFICIAL OR FORMAL CHURCH MEMBERSHIP IN A LOCAL CHURCH ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE – PART 2 In Part 1 we looked at the practice some churches have of there being an official local church membership that divides “members”, adherents and attendees into “MEMBERS” and “NON-MEMBERS” depending if one has ...read more

    Is The New Testament Reliable Series

    Contributed by David Dewitt on Apr 3, 2004
    based on 27 ratings
     | 3,766 views

    The New Testament is the best source of historical information from the time period of Jesus and it stands the test of scutiny. Therefore it is not only reliable it is the most reliable document of its kind!

    Is the New Testament a reliable source of information? The four gospels (Matthew, mark, Luke and John) give us a biography for the life of Jesus and they provide us with a wealth of information. One statement that I heard just recently is that the gospels were written as a way to communicate faith ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 669 views

    You may not like the answer....

    You may not like the answer, but it is - NO! There is no direct empirical evidence (i.e., primary or reliable secondary sources) or absolute proof that Jesus existed. Unfortunately, to the chagrin of atheists and agnostics, there is no audio or video evidence of any person alive today who was there ...read more

    Benefits Of Water Baptism

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Jan 23, 2003
    based on 39 ratings
     | 13,173 views

    This is an examination of the various spiritual blessings that the New Testament associates with water baptism. In addition, we consider how the early Church viewed this rite.

    In the ’Great Commission’, Jesus instructed His apostles to make disciples of all the nations "baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." Why did our Lord emphasize the need for baptism? What ’benefits’ does the person receive when they are baptized? We wish to ...read more

    There are many good studies and observations about the seven churches from a spiritual perspective that can be applied to churches today. However, this study will not address them, but rather review the actual history of the churches and where they are today (2025).

    In the Book of Revelation, Jesus sent a message to seven churches that were located in the western part of Asia Minor, directly south of the Black Sea. The word "church" is translated from the Greek word "ekklesia" which means the people of God, the whole collective body of ...read more

    Contributed by John Gaston on May 23, 2025

    WHERE DID THE BIBLE COME FROM? INTRODUCTION 1. Inspiration means that the Holy Spirit worked in a unique supernatural way so that the written words of Scripture were also the words of God. 2. 2 Tim. 3:16 tells us that scripture was created by the divine “in-breathing” of God into man. It was the ...read more
