    I'm bummed out on church

    Not too common. However, the UCC and the DoC have had a very close working relationship since the 1990s and it's fairly common for a UCC pastor to be ordained in the DoC and vice versa. I went to a UCC seminary and those who sought UCC/DoC Dual Privilege only had to take one course in the...

    I'm bummed out on church

    Very similar. Wesleyanism/Methodism began as a renewal movement within the Church of England, and the Methodist Articles of Religion are basically edited from the Anglican Thirty-Nine Articles of Faith, edited to remove the Calvinist influences.

    Starting crying to the Moody Blues - what's the matter with me these days?

    Strangely enough, that song was from a side project by Justin Hayward and John Lodge during a period when the band as a whole had taken a break from recording and touring. Blue Jays might very well be the best album The Moody Blues never recorded! I commend it very highly.

    Mother wants me to do a "fellows program" from cs lewis institute

    Looking at the leadership of the CSLI, they're conservative Anglicans, not ICOC. That said, I wouldn't be as concerned about heavy shepherding as I would simply being way too busy keeping up with all the homework. Not saying it couldn't happen, just that it's not likely. I think it's fair to...

    Catholic vs Evangelical/Protestant POV - discussion

    Has nothing to do with insecurity about their beliefs as much as it is a simple protection about a forum being brigaded by opponents of certain beliefs "flooding the zone" and shutting down any real discussion.

    Southern Baptist adding Nicene Creed to Baptist Faith and Message

    "Some" would be correct, but they tend to fly under the radar to avoid sanction. With the whole Rick Warren thing a couple of years ago, women's ordination has become the big target again as they were in the 80s.

    Southern Baptist adding Nicene Creed to Baptist Faith and Message

    True. The SB's have been diligent about weeding out LGBT friendly churches. Most that would be sympathetic left for the splinter Cooperative Baptist Fellowship years ago.

    Southern Baptist adding Nicene Creed to Baptist Faith and Message

    Nope. I can't count how many times I heard sermons as a young man declaring how "Baptists are not creedal".

    Were you disappointed by your Christmas service?

    As a rule, I try to avoid Christmas and Easter services. In way too many churches, they tend to be dog and pony shows for the ones who only show up on those two holidays. Also not a fan of Christmas Eve services. I hate standing up and holding a drippy candle (even with protectors) while...

    AOG, Most Popular? No, just the "greatest"

    It goes back at least to the late 70s when Kenneth Copeland was on the rise. Back then it laid equal emphasis on health and wealth.

    Baptism of the Holy Ghost

    In our neck of the woods, we have a number of churches who are "Independent Assemblies of God". Apparently it's a spinoff group of churches.

    Southern Baptists and Once Saved Always Saved

    Corrected some spelling for you...Armenian is an Oriental Orthodox church. Arminian is the non-Calvinistic theology. At any rate, if they're going to shed the Reformed theology, they could go all the way and become Free Will Baptists!
