I don't see "worth keeping" vs. "optional" as a way to categorize doctrines. I know my church thinks the head covering is worth keeping. But we also think Christians can disagree about important matters, even things that make it necessary to belong to a different congregation or...

In the first couple centuries of the church, they had the "rule of faith". (The "Apostles' Creed" is actually significantly newer - from the 400s, 500s, or so). There were plenty of other important things that they talked about, sometimes disagreeing, sometimes agreeing; but with...

This is a spinoff from this other post . How do we distinguish more important doctrines and practices from less important ones? It's common sense that not all doctrines are equally important. No one thinks your opinion about the rapture is as important as believing in the bodily resurrection of Chri...

And I heard a voice say, "Behold!" And I beheld, and lo! I saw a white horse, and a dark horse, both with a saddle, but no rider; and they ran wildly down the streets of the city, for they had no one to guide them, and were afraid. And there was much confusion and excitement. And I saw the...

I don't see in Scripture that it says to use removal/excommunication from fellowship on those who disagree about how to apply Scripture (rather than on those who deny core doctrines of the faith or live in unrepentant sin). We don't excommunicate or discipline people from the two Rosedale Network c...

When was this? 1559 I believe, as a result of the Strasbourg conference of 1557. See here under (3): https://gameo.org/index.php?title=Strasbourg_Conferences Peter Hoover wrote about it in The Secret of the Strength. Also see this book "Later Writings of the Swiss Anabaptists" (page 23 of...

As someone who takes the futurist interpretation, I may not be the right audience to judge the video. And let me preface this right now: Whatever your interpretation of Revelation, that's a secondary or tertiary (third) matter. There are a lot more important things. But Anabaptist Perspectives and P...

Menno even excommunicated the Swiss Brethren for not accepting his strict views on excommunication. When was this? 1559 I believe, as a result of the Strasbourg conference of 1557.

Assurance of salvation and Reformed/Baptist style “eternal security” aren’t really the same thing at all. Agreed. (Reformed "perseverance of the saints" isn't really the same as Baptist "once saved always saved" either, but without proper teaching by Reformed leaders, it can be ...

Menno even excommunicated the Swiss Brethren for not accepting his strict views on excommunication. MattY, I just want to say that thus sentence made me laugh out loud. Luther also "excommunicated" Zwingli and the reformed church in Geneva because they couldn't agree on the metaphysics at...
