Re: AP Video: How to Read Revelation & Avoid the Mark of the Beast
My opinion and theory is that when it started, Eastern was so sick of relativism and growing worldliness in the Mennonite church, that they over corrected into fundamentalism or literalism. And they found themselves with a mindset that left little room for not taking the Bible (N.T. teachings) lite...

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
LMC and W/F long ago negotiated some deal they wouldn’t intrude on each other’s “turf”. I was not aware of this. W/F congregations were originally under LMC until a new regional conference was formed as more people moved west. As I understand it, since Eastern considered themselves the true success...

I guess you did tell us that, but I was thinking temporal end rather than physical end. Thanks for the footnote.

Re: Sattler College Turmoil
I am most certainly not reformed . I do not know how to make it more clear, A book burning of Grudem’s systematic theology maybe? Yet you associate with people who teach Reformed doctrines (perhaps not all five points), print Reformed articles, and use Reformed language. It should not be entirely s...

Re: The Great Dechurching
In my early years in Pentecostalism and Evangelical Baptism, there was expected dramatic new beginnings in people's lives immediately. It wasn't a matter of saying the sinner's prayer, soon get baptised and join the church and yet not really having a new life in relationship with God. And some will...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil
Solid post JAHertz, but reading through the Sword and Trumpet correspondence I think both parties could be seen as committing the error you describe, mechanising theology to reconcile tensions in the scriptures that might be best left as tensions. Tension holds up buildings and bridges, it has it's...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil
I have no interest in repeating hours of research and writing here. The discussion with Mr. Miloni is well documented in Sword and Trumpet. I stand by what my associates and I wrote. If you are interested, read it there. I put many hours in that, and my position is clear. For those who may not have...
