    Biblical Worship, Not a Worship Service

    Hello David, I didn't post the Got Questions article to define what a worship service should/should not look like, but to point out that some of the things that were said in the OP might not be true (or, at least, not always true), Biblically. For instance, the OP states that 1st Century...

    Martin Luther and Augustine: The Truth About the Protestant Reformation

    Hello again TitusTwoWife, I'm not sure what God "automatically" electing people actually means, but I do know something about what the Reformers meant by, "Irresistible Grace" (the "I" from TULIP, that is). It speaks of those who ~will not~ choose to resist God's drawing (at least eventually...

    Biblical Worship, Not a Worship Service

    Hello again @TitusTwoWife, while you are welcome to disagree with that or any other portion of the article, of course, I don't believe that it spoke of anything that isn't Biblical (concerning taking an offering to pay for needed expenses, including pastors' salaries). Here are some Scriptures...

    Biblical Worship, Not a Worship Service

    Hello TitusTwoWife, while I agree with some of what you've said about the liturgy of the 1st Century church, I don't agree with all of it (because the Bible doesn't agree with all of it). Here's a short, well-written article w/linked Scripture verses/passages that speaks to this. What are the...

    If someone claims to be a Christian but refuses to repent of their sin, what does the Bible say about their claim of faith?

    And every sin that we will commit, and that from the get-go, and yet, He chose to save us anyway, PTL :giggle: Go figure :unsure: Of course, this allows our confidence in Him (to see us through this life to be with Him and to guard all that we have entrusted to Him) to be very high, knowing...

    If someone claims to be a Christian but refuses to repent of their sin, what does the Bible say about their claim of faith?

    Hello David, the two following quotes from theologian and pastor A. W. Pink came to mind when I read the OP, so I thought that I'd share them. The second quote (below), although principally concerned with evangelism, makes a second, important point too, I think (about some/many who claim to...

The Bible is not on trial. Man is. Jesus said, “the scripture cannot be broken” ~John 10:35. God’s Word does not bow before modern skepticism. It exposes the heart and stands forever. The question is not whether Scripture will stand. It will. The question is whether we will stand with it.
When God warns you, don’t brush it off. Answer Him while you still can, because a hardened heart doesn’t stay neutral, it moves toward judgment. Scripture is clear: “Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts” ~Hebrews 3:15, and again, “He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy” ~Proverbs 29:1.
We must be careful not to cater to people's carnal desires, but rather point them to God.
