Featured Any one Else here have a "blended baptist Church?"

Basically, you seem to be asking if I would become a member of a reformed church, and my answer would be that would not be my preferred church, as hold to strong Dispyviews, but also would not avoid going there to listen to messages, see evangelists/missionaries, and would definitely try to have friends in that group!

Think what makes it easier for me is never was raised in ANY church/teaching/tradition un=til saved, so can appreciate all the different flavors of doctrine in the church...


Also, we teach and instruct in the essentails of the faith, and grant to members freedom to chose, as we do talk about the differing viewpoints within the church!

 

depends on how one defines the 'true Gospel of Christ," as some would say that mans ONLY a calvinistic view, others like me would say that while that is the best way to preach/teach it, evengelical arminianism also has the Gospel, just confused on some points!

 

I agree that theDoctrines of Grace as expressed in calvinism does explain the closest to what the process used by the Lord to save sinners, but do NOT hold to it being the ONLY valid model to express and use, as Evagelical arminianism does have the right Gosepl message, its just they don't jave all the points correctly covered!

 

the clear message of the Cross, and the teaching its its thru and by grace alone/faith alone takes out the RCC and many charasmatic groups!

As well as most mainline churches!

 

Would say those 2 groups are tricky, for they both seem ot teach "something" God does onbehalf of sinners inthe water baptism, but would say that if one say that as part of the salvation process, or required not true gospel, but if they saw it still as faith alone in Christ alone despite what is taught...

Of those 2 churches, would say presby teaches real Gospel, just confuse the true meaning and intent of water baptising, while Luthereyns on case by base basis if saved!

 

Would say that what the scriptures testify to isthe real power of the Gospel, thedeath and resurrection of Jesus, and that the Spirit makes that truth known and received by those whom God intended to save!
