Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist
Seems to me there is a difference in what conversion means when talking about those who are raised in a Christian home compared to those who are converted from a non-Christian home. Those like myself, raised in a Christian home, might regard becoming a Christian as an on-going process and do not hav...

Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist
In a previous post I wrote - When I spent some years in a Mennonite Brethren church, I recall there were courses given at times for those who were keen on evangelism which taught people methods of reaching others with the Gospel in their daily lives outside the church. Courses such as 'Alpha' by Ni...

Re: Marrying Someone With a Promiscuous Past
I'm thankful that God not only forgives our past failings but He puts them into the sea of His forgetfulness never to be remembered against us again. He is a God of new beginnings. Not that we treat this as a license to sin but to not let our past failings keep us from moving forward in Him. I belie...

Re: Living in Peace
In short, I'm trying to say that the near-constant refrain of challenging conservative Anabaptists as somehow not emphasising enough being born again, etc. means that part of living in peace ends up not being "debating" with such a person. I have an opportunity to enter such debates frequ...

Re: Living in Peace
I'm hoping someone might chose option 4 or 5 and share how they go about living in the peace of God that goes beyond all understanding. Perhaps they don't exist here on this forum as, to them, it is a place to flee from ? I prefer not to try to intellectually discudd these sort of things with peopl...

Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?
ADC is more congregational and has a more "Beachy" feel..and is influenced by "kingdom" theology. One of the founders of ADC tells me that only about 5% of ADC is influenced by "kingdom theology". Could you (or someone else) elaborate on what is meant by "Kingdom ...

Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist
The place where I am most familiar with where people are born again is through home bible studies. A Christian invites an unbeliever to join in their 'care group' where they have a time of getting to know each other and study the bible using a bible course or just going through a book in the bible a...

Re: Living in Peace
To my own questions :) - one practical way of promoting living in peace is when we remind one another as MaxPC wrote - 'letting go: ceasing to try to control outcomes and letting God deal with the matters at hand. By entrusting all to God to sort it all brings peace.' Seems to me this is a harder th...
