Re: Justice
I would suggest that, along the same lines as Josh's reasoning, the relative danger of violent death for any certain individual is acutely influenced by what places they commonly find themselves, and also, I would add, if they are alone, or in a group. Many of the life-threatening dangers we faced a...

Re: Justice
To truly understand justice, though, we can simply read the Bible. God even gave us a perfect law code so that we can understand what is just. We have ample instruction for how to treat each other equitably. But what is the Biblical advice for when that code of ethics is broken? This is a situation...

Re: When the boys start coming around...
We had set a rule about "no romantic relationships before age 18". It didn't work - it happens anyway. My part in this was to save our children some of the pain I experienced myself, but you just can't. (Just my experience and opinion, of course.) Yes, we tried to "interfere", bu...

Re: “Five-fold ministry”?
My own involvement with the C&MA was very brief compared to yours, consisting of 3 1/2 years at what is now called Crown College. I did not ever attend a C&MA church while attending there. At first I visited a number of "cutting edge" (ie, on the extreme side) Charismatic congrega...

Re: “Five-fold ministry”?
How does the "Five-Fold" Gospel compare to the "Four Square" Gospel? Foursquare refers to four aspects of Christ's ministry: Savior, Sanctifier (or in some versions Baptizer), Healer, and King. The "trademark" of the group I was involved with for some thirty years, the...

Re: “Five-fold ministry”?
I've heard the term for decades and Ephesians 4:11 as a reference. Also "Full Gospel" ministry teaching. Where we come from, if Ephesians 4:11 is seen as only during Apostolic times, then our churches would see those as missing the full Gospel. I remember an acquaintance I had for awhile,...

Re: “Five-fold ministry”?
Thank you, OJ. That article is helpful. I see in the article that this terminology is re-emerging in what appears to me to be a blending of the Early Church movement, Evangelical and Charismatic practices. It does not seem to be associated with particular denominations but is gaining ground in inde...

Re: “Five-fold ministry”?
Is this teaching associated with a particular denomination? Is it found across denominations? In current usage, it's generally a charismatic/NAR concept. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostolic-Prophetic_Movement Thank you, OJ. That article is helpful.

Re: “Five-fold ministry”?
I have heard the term used in the past, perhaps in the distant, dusty past.... It was familiar to me, but I couldn't recall the origin, or application of the term. So probably in either the Evangelical Bible college where I attended, or in a church I attended while there, in that "Mennonite-les...
