Denominationalism is a form of authority over groups of people who pay allegiance to a specific creed. Being thus grouped together they fall under a specific authority... Somewhere in the OT (I can't remember the verses) it talks of the people "going their own way" - significant of this kind of sinful practice. Denominationalism is a false system of governance or security because it is not based on Scripture. A house divided against itself cannot stand. The reformed churches most often have used creeds, because reformed from Rome Ecclesiastic. The Book of Judges speaks of every man doing that which is right in his own eyes when there is no civil monarch. 1 Samuel clearly states, in typical fashion, that Monarch is Jesus Christ, the Son of David. When He rules in any nation, as their Creator God, His moral law shapes their civil laws. In the Church a plurality of under-shepherds rule His Church as brethren. Separate institutions in one nation but One Church in subjection to Christ her Head in any nation and as we pray for now in every nation under the gospel. Then will the Church look like the Household of God on earth as it is in Heaven. |

Limited atonement contradicts what the Bible says, read the verses that were given!...However, limited atonement says that God isn't powerful enough to save everyone, and if that was His sovereign will He would, but he says He won't only the ones he has chosen. Mal.2:2 "I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob, Romans 9:10-18 "And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, 'that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth ' It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. (Or as Jim says; God is not powerful enough?) For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee," His power is shown in ? |

Presbyterians have historically subscribed to this:...
...can't this have a paradoxical effect, perhaps, even causing evil to overtake one's denomination? ABP,Apparently Paul didn't think so as an apostle whose foundational teaching is not optional for any true Christian Read Romans 7 and 8 see Romans 7:24-25
Read of the battle between the flesh and the spirit in Gal.5 and the Victories of Romans 8; 2 Cor.10; Phil.2&3. This is the gospel, truth can be known we have God's Word for it!!! This evil is related to professing one thing and doing another and the fruit of covenant perfidity, especially those in the UK who don't even seem to know there is any covenant. Jer.2:11-13 11Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. 12Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD. 13For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. |
