Preaching at a country church a couple weeks from now..

[ironglow]

  THis is a small but growing, old country church across the county.  They have a growing church, and have built some new additions to the rear of their
   building.

  Some would ask..  "That's not your 'denomination', so why do you preach there?"

   Let me add..I would preach in a Seventh Day Adventist church, a Mormon church or JW hall, so long as they allow ne the free will to preach,
   without any restriction.

  That is the deal on this engagement...so I go for it..  My grandson preached there a couple months ago and they liked it..so no surprise coming
    for them.

[locust]

" I would preach in a Seventh Day Adventist church, a Mormon church or JW hall, "  ah but would they invite you back

  Well, my gradson preched there a couple months ago, and they know where we both come from..and they want me to speak.
 
  Actually, their doctrine doesn't differ  much from mine, since they are a "Free Methodist" church.  the Free Methodist church seperated from
  the Methodist Episcopal church in 1860.

 They are much like regular Baptists..Biblical and Arminian.. Nice country folk there. ..But I still would speak to nearly any congregation,
   so long as they don't  censor me in any way..

  Gottam be ready..."in season and out of season"..

THAT IS A LIE. So-called Free Methodists freely contradict biblical teaching, opting to avoid full emersion baptism (just 1 of their minor scriptural apostasies), and DO FREELY ORDAIN FEMALE PASTORS AND CHURCH ELDERS

https://fmcusa.org/wesleyan-perspectives-on-women-in-ministry

And the Free Methodist Church,  staggers all around homosexuality,  but has deceptively let it into their church.

https://scod.fmcusa.org/the-free-methodist-churchs-response-to-sexuality-and-sexual-orientation/

So here you go,  from THEIR WEBSITES.

 BTW,   You should fit right in with your wishy-washy theology.

[ironglow]

  Accept and encourage LGBTQ activity? Not around here, they don't...and not across the country do they..

   Here is their national statement on the subject.       https://fmcusa.org/wp-content/uploads/PP-FMCUSA-Sanctified-Sexuality.pdf 

     Observing the above statement..you should not be so quick with words like "That is a lie", since you may have to figuratively, "eat those words'..

  Ordain women? I don't know, but this church certainly has a man as Pastor..(I believe he works construction during the week.)

  In any case, as I said earlier..I'll preach to any body that doesn't censor me. Never can tell, when there may just be somebody there, hungry for the gospel.

ONCE AGAIN. I never thought for a second, that your GIGANTIC EGO OF SELF IMPORTANCE would allow, or accept the mission statements from their websites to contradict the all knowing ironglow.

Historically,  you have always been ALL OVER THE THEOLOGICAL MAP. This time is no different than when your little baptist church had a First united methodist preacher in your pulpit teaching.
You claim to be a Baptist, and you go to a church that claims its a Baptist church. But the church invites representatives of apostasy into its pulpit, and you are always quick to embrace, and defend apostic representation with ironglow wishy-washy theological excuses
And like every other time, your self promotional announcements of your preaching dates gets the usual interest.

   Sorry if you are all confused..but the church I attend is not specifically Baptist, even though hermeneutically it may be.

    Although you refuse to recognize that the UMC has recently split due to the very causes you are concerned with, you still play a nebulous
     Don Quixote...charging at diaphanious windmills that don't even exist..

     Of course, I have a Biblical view and do not in any way endorse female preachers or LGBTQ philosophy or lifestyle.  Still, I do not HATE either
     women or those confused few.  Matter of fact, I think women are rather "neat" !  

    Please, do not go on with false accusations concerning " giant ego' or "self importance', but like any who ventures to intelligently discuss an
    issue...counterpoint with facts !   It will gain you credibility !

Thats funny. YOU intimidate me.
You have in the past said your church was Baptist. Now your waffling on that. Like I said. Wishy-Washy. You lean in what ever direction the wind is from. 
I've been aware of your theological confliction for years now.

Definition of ironglow theology: Subject to change.  Daily!

[ironglow]

  I have said I am Baptist seminary trained, an donce did attend a Baptiist church, although my current church (of 27 years )is non-denominational..

  BTW: Don't try explaining my history, and I won't even begin to try to explain yours.  After all, I have lived my history, and  you haven't. 
  I am the foremost authority on my history...just as you are the foremost authority on yours.

You have never told anyone here you went to, and were Baptist seminary,  or any other seminary trained. You have claimed a lot, but never seminary and now you've outed yourself once again. This now explains why you're constantly adrift in multiple directional theology .
This further explains your constant wiggling and spoofing in an effort to never be wrong.
You believe in whatever sounds good,  and meets your fancy at the moment. You don't  really know much about any denomination, you just pretend to know. And I'll bet you have went to lots of "Different churches", and stirred the parts you liked, and remembered all into "ironglows wishy-washy church of confusion ".

BTW, YOU DO HAVE A 20 YEAR HISTORY,  RIGHT HERE ON GBO SO I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT. Duckin & Dodgin That's your history here.

[Dixie-Dude]

Well, Jesus ate with publicans and sinners.  He shared the Gospel with Samaritans.  Jesus would probably go into a bar to share the Gospel as well as a den of sexual deviants.  As long as the truth was preached.  Ironglow stated that to begin with by saying a Mormon or Jehovahs witness church, as long as they let him preach the gospel.  I know of Independent Methodists in the south who baptize by immersion.  Baptism is important but the thief on the cross didn't get baptized, but was with Jesus in paradise when he died on the cross.

That has been used many, many, times when some wannabe preachers have been outed. It might work once, or even twice, unless someone is actually paying attention.
Christ was not self promotional, He was not in it for recognition, or status, but if you want to ignore the obvious, carry on. I'll take the Word in its context, and you can have the ironglow bs.

  Evidentally you don't recall, but I have mentioned several times that I studied with a Baptist seminary.  however, that is irrelevant here anyway.  I
   do not confine the sharing of the word to just one denomination, since that is not what He has told us to do..

      "15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15)

  PLEASE.... If you have a contrary opinion to mine, concerning this subject..let's take it up in a scholarly manner.

   I have noticed that in almost any discussion with leftists, they run out of ammo...and start calling names and venturing into ad hominem attacks,
 
  ...Let's not go there.

 Historically, in the old Testament synagoges , discussion of the scriptures was encouraged..since we can all learn that way..by sharing views.

  Now in the New Testament church age, we partake in Bible studies.  There we discuss, compare and learn from one another, all a heslthy practice.

  So, let's discuss things in a civil manner, without annoyance or pique.

   No Dee, I have not been a member of 'many churches'..but rather just 2 in the last 46 years since I have been saved.

  Frankly, i cannot grasp your indignation, whenever it comes to such discussions.  If you think I  have misinterpreted the Bible..challenge me to
   PROVE it by book,chapter & verse.. which is the usual practice employed if theological discussions.

  Let's not just go verbally spastic, and end up screaming invectives...

  When you make remrks such as this, I do maintain that you are being quite presumptive, since you are claiming information you could not possibly know..and by it, hurling accusations..

I've learned everything I need to know about your theology I don't need anymore info.  Your an empty vessel that constantly shifts positions for cover. 

[Lloyd Smale]

wonder if youll still be agreeing with everything dee says because your pissed at me i give dee credit for one thing he doesnt much care about back up. like me he stands on his own two feet. dont much like him but respect that. some hear are almost sickening with their need to have people agree with them or to tell them they are right

[ironglow]

  I don't expect everyone to agree with me, but it seems it is just too much to ask that they disagree...agreeably..

  I am ready to back with facts, anything I claim, and welcome you fellows to counter in a graceful, intelligent manner.

   Presenting factual information can counter anything i may proffer, but simply heaping abuse doesn't prove a thing...other than a extimated IQ score.

  With that..I leave you here, to 'stew  in your own juices'..

Stewing in our own juices! LMAO! Says the ducker and dodger, and chief evangelist, of the First United "Church of Wishy-Washy (church doctrine pending, and subject to change)

[locust]

  THis is a small but growing, old country church across the county.  They have a growing church, and have built some new additions to the rear of their
   building.

  Some would ask..  "That's not your 'denomination', so why do you preach there?"

[ironglow]

  A couple corrections to be made.. Disagree if you wiush , but let us keep it civil..

  From Dee;

  " You have never told anyone here you went to, and were Baptist seminary,  or any other seminary trained. You have claimed a lot, but never seminary and now you've outed yourself once again. This now explains why you're constantly adrift in multiple directional theology".

  See, there you go, assuming or "reading between the lines again"..  I didn't say I 'went to' a Baptist seminary, but that I 'studied with' a aBaptist
   seminary.. and I have mentioned it before.  Surely, you must by now, have heard of "remote learning", practiced by many schools and colleges..I
  only travelled to the location (Florida) for final exam and graduation..

  Then there's this one from Dee:

  "Christ was not self promotional, He was not in it for recognition, or status, but if you want to ignore the obvious, carry on. I'll take the Word in its context, and you can have the ironglow bs"

  Jesus was not self-promotional?  How about these words from His own mouth?

   "6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6)

   " he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. (John 14:7)

  “I and my Father are one.” (John 10:30)

    ..An how about this?  Jesus tells his disciples to go into all the world and preach th egospel (Mark 16:15,16) !

  So, what is the gospel, but the knowledge that Jesus is the only way to salvation, and he has come to "seek and to save"..

 Looks like self promotion to me !   Yes, He said he is not "seeking glory", but He is seeking to make himself known throughout the world...

  Not seeking glory... He already had full glory as he entered into the world....angels announced his birth and the Maji came to worship Him.

This is pretty standard ironglow slipping and sliding. I always quote you because I know when caught in a lie you'll start trying to wiggle it around where I misunderstood. I didn't misunderstand.

But here it is. YOUR WORDS. YOU SAID: YOU WERE "BAPTIST SEMINARY TRAINED"

And  there it is. Not much to discuss. You lied. You have claimed so much for so many years that isn't true, you obviously can't keep your lies straight. You throw scripture at virtually everything so much that someone might think you to be a religious fanatic

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  I do feel sorry for you Dee..  Why is it you almost without exception, have nothing but criticism for many folks here, as they relate some incident,
  success or pleasant event in their lives?
   
  Why be an old "party pooper"?  I relate things truthfully, and you have nothing but scorn, and call me a liar..which in itself is a lie.

  I have no reason to tell you or anyone else an untruth, and it makes little difference whether you believe it or not ! ..So please quit "projecting"..

  The things you accuse me of falsifying, you have no knowledge of, other than 'guesswork'..and guesswork from a jaundiced perspective.

  Yes, I studied with the seminary..but didn't pursue beyond an associates degree.  I learned more by teaching a senior men's study for years..men
   who themselves, were well versed biblically.
  Teaching that class required intensive study, just to keep from being embarrassed.  Perhaps you should try that !

  You accuse me iof being deficient theologoically, and while I am no certified Bible scholar, I do study the word, so if you wish to show me up in that
  regard, take me to task in exegesis of the Bible, posting proof for proof, rather than just launching more false accusations...
