Could You Spot Jezebel in Your Church?

Amen. People forget that Jesus said, "Upon this rock I will build my church. They think it's their job to build it.

As each individual is unique and has a responsibility to answer whatever deep call God has placed on them. All the while knowing that He is not a respecter of persons, keeping us from becoming high minded.

True. With the exception of the "entrance requirements" I don't believe God is aiming for cookie cutter Christianity. I've been thinking about cloven tongues lately, how each individual person receives the Holy Ghost for themselves, to shape them individually. While I believe the fullness of the measure of the stature of Christ is the goal for all of us, how we get there is an individual journey.

We don't know where He will lead us in one year, two, five, ten. We have to be reaching, personally, for the mark of the high calling of Christ.

For me, I can't get my life defined by opinions on a Forum Board or even an individual at church. I must be lead by the Spirit.

I agree. Maybe at times you feel as if your definitions are being challenged by the opinions on these forums? Maybe things you felt are set in stone are sometimes rattled by the things you read?

We can't draw a line in the sand either way and say - This is the way we should walk on this issue. It will always be personal convictions.

That's all I am trying to say.

Personal conviction is the only way to go on stuff like this.
