Just wondering.

For the record, I don’t “run” house churches–they are part of our larger church. Mars Hill Bible Church, in Grand Rapids Mi. Maybe you’ve heard of it?
Grace and Peace

I truly hope and pray that God brings you to repentance.
Grace and Peace to you

RB: You prove my point, and cast doubt on your own. Thanks!

I’m not sure what it is you have against Seminary and I see that you don’t have the moral honesty to comment under your own name.
That list is more than attributes it is fruit born from the Spirit. I never said any man can deny
“any Christian doctrine” I said the exact opposite of that in the post. It appears that you are lie much like your father.
Grace and Peace to you. I will not engage with someone who has no desire to actually listen. I truly pray that God will grant you repentane so that you might know Him and not simply a form of Him.

RB: Oh, my! The fruits in action, I guess. :^)

Let’s pretend that your comment about “my father” is not referring to any biblical reference. How is that you demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit by insulting a persons father?

You should listen to yourself, Joe. Your words above; “I believe Heretical teaching as you call it will be exposed because it will lack the Fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22.”

You see, the list that I put in the post is from a little guy named Paul. He wrote a few books in the New Testament. You should check out Galatians sometime. That’s where this list comes from. I believe Heretical teaching as you call it will be exposed because it will lack the Fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22.
Much as your blog lacks that fruit. May God grant you repentance, may you come to learn your Bible, the written revelation of Jesus and may you learn what Jesus meant when he said they’ll know us by our love for one another.
Grace and Peace to you. Perhaps, you should do some studying.

RB: Interesting. So, you believe that a man can have a list of attributes from Gal 5:22 and deny any Christian doctrine? Is that what they’re teaching you at seminary?
