    Can A Christian Be Lost Again?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 7, 2012
     | 4,299 views

    Eternal life means unending life; this is what Christ offers. Some, however, are convinced that His gift is probationary. The life He offers is meant to encourage us, and not to intimidate us.

    “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father ...read more

So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 11, 2012
     | 5,818 views

    Leadership in the congregation is to reflect the Lord’s choice rather than seeking diversity as defined in the world.

Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, ...read more

    What was confessed through baptism reflects your understanding of relationship to Christ.
