When did the practice of mid-week and Sunday evening services start? Who started this practice?
Can you tell me what a dumb spirit is?
Please help me out here. We are studying the qualifications for a Pastor. If he is divorced can he still be ordained? Does it matter who is at fault? What about the passage in 1Corinthians 7 "not bound". Someone in our church is divorced and wants to become a pastor, it is causing a lot of strife in church and families.
My wife is Methodist. They take confirmation classes when they are 15,she says this to see if the person is ready to accept Jesus or not, she believes in Jesus she says, but she says she was "confirmed", which she says is the same as being saved. Please explain this kind of belief and if its wrong.
If a Baptist Church had problems and split, would the newly formed church be a scriptural church? The new church did not have an "arm extended" from another church. Please help me understand "extending an arm from another church" clearer. I hear other preachers making the comments that if an "arm was not extended" from another scriptural New Testament Church then it is not a New Testament Church.
Do Christians require anointing oil, i.e. olive oil, to heal the sick, as instructed in James?
