Thanks to everyone who’s commented on the series of posts on the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and speaking in tongues. One of the issues raised was from a brother who had given up on praying to receieve the Holy Ghost in the belief he was not one of the chosen few.
I don’t have my [...]

Top 10 reasons for not speaking in tongues
As a follow up to my top 10 reasons to speak in tongues, here’s the top ten reasons some people don’t believe in speaking in tongues.
1. They believe the spiritual gifts have ceased, although there is no bible evidence for this.
2. They think that speaking in tongues are too undignified and therefore not for them.
3. [...]

What’s love got to do with it: can you re-purpose a love song and offer it to God?
A friend sent me this clip today of Bishop Lester Love of Greater Anticoch church.
He is singing a medley of love songs written by sinners, for sinners and has re-edited them to sing to Jesus.
His argument is that the songs are love songs and what matters is who you sing them to. So, when [...]

Compelling Scriptural Evidence For Baptism In Jesus’ Name
I recently revisited the Bible to explore the scriptures dealing with baptism and the significance of Jesus’ Name for baptism. The scriptural evidence to support baptism in Jesus’ name is overwhelming. I literally had to stop myself there was so much scripture to support being baptised in Jesus’ Name. As an Apostolic I had studied these scriptures before and they are almost a part of me, but it also means I take them for granted.

C4 Dispatches ‘In God’s Name’: patronising, demonising, annoying.
Being a Christian is no longer acceptable, our beliefs are outside of the norms of an increasingly secular society in which their is no absolute truth, and where the god of tolerance (for all but Christianity) prevails. Watching the show made me sad, frustrated and annoyed at how Christianity was being mocked. The proposition of the show was: ‘its ok to be a Christian, just don’t take your faith too seriously, after all it isn’t true’. And if that is the case, I guess I’ll have to say like Paul ‘after the way called heresy so worship I the God of my fathers…’

The denomination of non-denominationalism
My point is, churches should ditch the ‘non-denominational’ buzz word jargon. A better term would be ‘an indepenent church’ or a church not linked directly to an established denonimination.
