Re: Forum Name Change
Legalism is easily defined as judging peson's righteousness based on subjective convictions. Getting rid of television but keeping the computer doesn't show consistancy in conviction. Doubling attendance does not validate cramming subjective convictions down people's throat. When the Galatian church tried that Paul compared it to witchcraft.
People getting the Holy Ghost doesn't mean people are saved. Speaking in tongues is not a sign of revival. Read the history of revivals that changed nations. The fruit of revival is repentance.

And not only that, but our church has had tremendous revival since we have stepped it up in prayer AND consecration in holiness (tv's bein tossed out, rings taken off, sleeves comin down). We have almost doubled in attendance and had MANY receive the Holy Ghost. Sorry Brother, but I very much disagree with you. The prayerless will not have revival, the unconsecrated will not have revival, the unsincere and unsubmitted will not have revival. God will, however do a work in those who seek him.
