How often do we encounter an effort to make everyone conform to an outward model? Or else some biblical interpretation. Be it sabbath keeping, rapture theory, tithing...etc....

I say "vive la difference!" (that's French ) We are to be one in the Spirit, through the transformation of Christ and the renewing of our minds. We are not to be conformed to world, or even resemble the world...as in our quest for uniformity. We might behave quite differently in outer form, and yet have a perfect unity in the Spirit. God doesn't bless a form...but a humble heart.

Would that we put away our opinions and the hobby horses we love to ride so, and got on with the fulness in Christ that we are all called to!

There are differing gifts and functions in the Body. It is truly carnal to divide along any other line that a spiritual one. Many reveal their lack of a spiritual foundation by trumpeting one observance or other. Let every man be convinced in his own mind. There is a deeper unity that we seek. To be ONE NEW MAN in Christ.

Amen i have just added pay tv and have got the Australian christian channel as part of the package

i was watching this guy preach from singapore he takes after benny hinn what i observed blew me away everyone including the young people have the same out fits the men have fancy white or grey suits the women long sleve shirts and dresses and the kids dress the same as the parents including the worship team

i saw this while i was in the philippines on cable tv the guy i was staying with is a christian solictor and he is involved with the evangelical church in bacolod

i got talking to my partner and said who is this guy how effective is this guy among the chinese and has he ever talked in your country my partner said he is a benny hinn supporter and has been raised up by benny hinn him self

his name he uses for his church is called this is your day

i began to pray and said lord please deal with this preacher he is confusing his members he is sending a wrong message lord


i am thank full that i am in a good church i am thank full for my pastor and our leadership team this does not happen in our church or does this happen in the philippines


my pastor is a good shepheard he is also a good teacher and he constantly ecnourages us to step out of our comfort zones and use the gifts god has given us my pastor sees that we all have an important role to play and he has seen that we come from many diffrent nations

time for christians to brake away from that mentality



God bless from damo

Yes brother, this fellow sounds like he's been cloned! It is easier to follow a man whom they see than God who is invisible. But then we shortcircuit faith. If we would be genuine, we would look to God and be what we are meant to be...regardless of how popular that made us. We must obey God and not men.
