    Baptism question

    Would an Anabaptist church accept baptisms done in a Baptist church as valid, or would a convert from the Baptist denomination need to be baptized before joining the Anabaptists?

    Historic Premmillennialism and Israel?

    Where does historic premillennialism stand on Israel? I consider myself premillennialism but on the fence between dispensationalism and historic premillennialism. I say I am closer to the latter as I think dispensationalism gets too caught up in details that may or may not be true. I don't...

    Non-Denominational Accountability

    So, I have seen non-denominationalists getting a lot of flack online. The biggest criticism I've heard is that non-denom churches lack accountability since the pastor can do and teach whatever he wants, without any higher authority overruling him. What are your thoughts about this, and how...

    Work and anxiety

    So, I just got a new job this week. It's fine, I guess. Better than nothing. It pays well and the benefits are good, but it has 12 hour shifts. Everyone I talked to suggest I stick with it because of the pay and I have no marketable skills. I see their reasoning, I get that money is important...

    Moderate Fundamentalism?

    I know this sounds oxymoronic, but I wonder if there is such a thing as moderate fundamentalis'? I sometimes wonder whether I'm a fundamentalist. I'm a firm believer in the inerrancy of Scripture, and hold to a lot of conservative views on theology, society and sexuality. I also lean...

    Israel and Eschatology

    I'm currently undecided about my eschatological view. I'm leaning towards premillennialism currently, but it's not a strong lean as I am open to amillennialism. One of the hang ups I have is about Israel: I believe there is only ONE people of God, and ONE way to salvation. God does not have...

    Where are the Plymouth Brethren

    I've always been intrigued by the Plymouth Brethren movement since I first learned of their existence. The Open Brethren are the closest to my own beliefs. However, I don't think there any of their churches near by, and I don't know how to find one. From what I understand, they don't advertise...

    Being filled with the Spirit

    From what I understand, Calvary Chapel is a charismatic denomination, and like most churches in that traditional, believes that being filled with the Holy Spirit is different from conversion. Is this correct? Can anyone explain to me how it works?

    What is Keswickian theology?

    So, as an American evangelical, I have encountered the term "Keswickian theology." I know nothing about it aside from that it's somewhat similar to Wesleyan-Holiness theology in that it teaches progressive sanctification and it's the view promoted by the Christian and Missionary Alliance. What...

    Complementarianism

    So, I noticed that all of the Holiness denominations I can think of: United Methodists, Wesleyans and Nazarenes, all affirm women's ordination. Are there any Holiness denominations that affirm complementarian views about the ministry?

    Revised vs Progressive Dispensationalism

    What are the differences between Revised and Progressive Dispensationalism? I know they don't make as sharp of a contrast between the Church and Israel compared to classical dispensationalism, but how do they differ from each other? From what I understand, the progressive dispies don't deny...

    Seventh Day Baptists

    What can you tell me about Seventh Day Baptists? I know that they worship on, but that's all I know. Ready To Harvest's video about them cleared up some things for me. I'm a Southern Baptist, but I diverge from the denomination in that I actually agree with the Seventh Day Baptists on Saturday...

    What can you tell me about the Old Believers? From what I read, they were Orthodox Russians who broke away because they disagreed with the patriarch's reforms. What reforms, specifically, did they disagree with, and how else do they differ from Orthodox Christianity?
