Salvation is a process that continues until we arrive in heaven. Regeneration is an an experience that is instantaneous and happens the moment we believe the gospel. It is this experience that is the genesis of our relationship with and walk with God.
Amen.

Acts 2:38 is still there, folks. The people said, "What shall we do"?? Peter told them. If they shall do it, shouldn't we do it? There is much more to living for God than Acts 2:38 but I believe that is the beginning of the process - which starts with repentance.

Well, to some it is ... there's a church not too far from my house in Gaskin, Florida who adheres to the old teachings of women not shaving their legs, women not wearing their hair in any type of curls, either haves to be in a bun or down. They believe the world is flat instead of round ... I've heard some say that they don't believe in wearing deodrant, but I'm not able to comfirm that because everytime I've visited their church or been around them they don't smell or anything of that nature.
As for as robes go ... I won't fellowship a preacher who wears anything like that, or a clerical collar. We're not Catholic, or Episcopalian, Orthodox, Luthern or anything of those ... I believe a preacher should wear a solid white dress shirt, a full suit, and tie.
Scarves are just considered a "cloth necklace" and I don't believe should be worn.
Cloak-a loose outer garment ... people shouldn't wear clothes that will not be modestly formed to their body in that they are not revealing their nakedness.
What is the difference between a woman's scarf and a man's necktie? None. The necktie serves less function than the scarf.
As for this other group, well, the fact that they believe the world is flat rather than round is no stranger than their other beliefs, and frankly, equally intelligent.

And if a man wears a red dress shirt or red suit, anything loud in the color red, would be throwing off on the blood of Jesus, or one could say that they are being "lose, careless, etc" with the blood due to their choice of color.
As for as pink goes, I believe the Bible teaches a man should be masculine and not in any way feminine in nature. Thus pink shirts are totally unacceptable and should not be worn.
It is from my understanding by being around and talking to the old timers of Pentecost that if men back years ago wore colored shirts to church or patten-leather shoes, they would be considered a homosexual. Now while that is NOT the case today, I still believe we should take into consideration some of the good standards that our forefathers taught. In my opinion it will not make anyone closer to God should they adhere to this standards, nor will it break anyone from having a close relation with God if they choose not to.

I believe that the only acceptable tie knot would be that of a traditional windsor knot. As it is the most classy, and dressy looking form of a tie knot. The others are slobbingly sloppy as though one didn't take much time in their appearance, and I believe we should look our very best when going to the House of God. Amen?!

I am who I say I am ... and I do most certainly feel that way about tie knots. Now I don't believe it's a sin if you don't wear a windsor knot, however I believe it's a lot more presentable than say a military knot.

Well, again... what's good for you and me may not be necessary for eveyone else. Evangelist Benincasa, is an example of someone I'm told looks good in pink and I'd never question his manhood for it.
We are in agreement here, I believe. Personally I think we should have kept the old standard about "not shaving your face smooth like a woman's." The old timers put a lot of stock in a man looking like a man.

Personally I have a problem with the House of Windsor and their promotion of promiscuity and homosexuality. Wearing the full "Windsor Knot" endorses the lifestyle that these loose people lead; and the same with the "Onassis knot" and the really gay "Merovingian knot."
SORRY IN ADVANCE for all these quotes - But this dialog is WONDERFUL! Could not have been scripted better!
LOL!!!

I don't know Caston...the toe on that first shoe doesn't seem round enough...are you sure that's not a liberal show? I'd hate think all this time you were really liberal and didn't know it
Doesn't that first shoe have braiding on it? That's pretty liberal!

[QUOTE=Arphaxad;282665]All the guy did was ask a simple question. Yes, I'm a 3 stepper and 7 stepper, and a many more stepper, and sometimes I stop stepping and wait on the Lord. and I refuse to be stepped on!
I am too, not ashamed to say it and not confused about it.
I believe the scriptures (not just one) are very clear on the matter.
