protestants can be divided into tis 2 categories…most protestants though r ecumenical…however, there r some namely the reformers who practise the doctrine of biblical separation…juz how biblical is tis doctrine of separation? air ur views here…

Pope Nicholas SG

What is biblical separation?

More importantly what is ur definition if ecunemism?

M©+square SG

when the pope enters....

My interest dwindles. Neutral

despondent SG

i cun realli explain biblical separation well...but if u r catholic or evangelical, u will condemn tis doctrine...its basically saying tat there shld be separation btw christians as we have differences in doctrines...nt toking abt fundamentals but the deeper doctrinal issues...issues like, tribulation, the supernatural gifts, calvinism vs armenianism etc...

so these christians r saying tat there shld nt be spiritual fellowship among christians of diff. doctrines...tis does nt mean nt making frends wif other christians...it means tat if there was an event like the festival of praise...they shld nt take part as such events involve christians all ard the country...basically, they hold on to tis belief cos they believe they shld hold fast to wad they have been tot n nt to be swayed by other doctrines...

ecumenism i am toking abt is like the festival of praise...i am nt toking abt diff. religions coming tgr to pray to their diff. gods...(there was 1 such case after the tsunami happened) meaning to say tat let there be no denomination barrier but casting aside our differences, we focus on the common goal...which is to win the lost n be in spiritual unity....

so u can see tat these 2 beliefs dun see eye-to-eye...christians who practise biblical separation condemn ecumenism saying tat ecumenism will onli lead more n more christians away from the truth...

Icemoon SG

ouch!

SMS talk .. painful for the eyes. Neutral

Pope Nicholas SG

But arent most of us biblical separation. I doubt any of us are willing to throw aside our doctrines for Pan-Christianity.

Chin Eng SG

If ecumenism to a believer of God is to ignore the differences between denomination practices and worship as one church, and that these believers also seek to separate themselves from the world, why should there be an issue? Question

so you need to define the scope of ecumenism.... only with believers? or with practioners of other religions and philosophies?

I think the above link sums it very well.....

despondent SG

the link u gave is specifically the group of christians i am toking abt…they r famous for biblical separation…they believe tat the NIV bible is ecumenical n tat KJV bible is the onli accurate english version…

M©+square SG

BP.... Surprised

despondent SG

yes…the BPs n more specifically, the reformed christians…they r anti-charismatics as well as anti-catholics…u can nvr find them at events like festival of praise…some of them dun even noe who is don moen n hillsongs

Icemoon SG

The KJV bible uses corrupted manuscripts. I have shown it in another thread.

Icemoon SG

BPs more likely. 'Reformed' refers to your theological dispositions, not really the same as denomination. In fact I suspect there are many BPs who wave the BP flag, wave their KJV, attack evolutionists etc. without a firm foundation in theology or science. You can think of them as brainless idiots.

FOP attracts people who prefer a certain kind of worship. I believe there are people from baptist, methodists and anglican churches who don't go FOP too.

Pope Nicholas SG

Whats Festival of Praise?

Strangely the first thought that hit me was Gals wearing sarong dancing around praising the Monsoons for rice...likw wth haha.

Pope Nicholas SG

Is it true King James was a sodomite and his wife became catholic?

SingaporeMacross SG

It's a large scale praise and worship rally organised by CHC and other organising parties.

That's one place where you'll never see me at.

M©+square SG

expected. You didn't like Protestants anyway.

Pope Nicholas SG

So its a non-denom thingy. I thought it was a inter-christianity thingy to bridge the gap LOL.

Well seems its CHC, my thoughts of sarong gals still kinda accurate....

Out of curiosity Singaporemarcoss, are we allowed to attend Protestant services etc etc?

Icemoon SG

SSPX is schismatic act.

Protestant is heretical act.

Second one worse than first right? Maybe ask yourself whether can attend SSPX services or not.

Icemoon SG

let's jio him go for traditional protestant service.

hmm .. i also dunno what does traditional protestant service do .. beside singing hymns. Laughing
