On my way home from work I began to comtemplate on this topic. Here on BPN I have been involved in, and observed many a discussions, some have gotten heated and some have been in fun. Some have been informative and some have not. Many have been repetative, and every now and then you will get a fresh topic that sparks a lot of interest. But I have also observed this not everyone believes the same thing. So my question is this when do we draw the line? Not everyone that we call brother/sister (in Christ) is. I heard a man say this about the faith some things we can debate vigorusly but we dont have to divide over it. But somethings dont line up with the Word and therefore should be divided over below I will list a few things that I belive are debatable if you have some or want to chime in please do so!
But ultimatley the foundation of every conversation needs to line up with this question that Jesus asked (highlighted means where or focus should be):
Matthew 16:13-18
When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? [14] And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. [15] He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? [16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. [17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. [18] And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Here we see that the church was built on the foundation of the answer to this question!
So here we go:
Can salvation be lost?- Debate
Women Preachers?- Debate
Adherance to the Mosaic Law?- Debate
Certain Interpretations of scripture?- Debate
Name of God/YHWH- Debate
Can salvation be lost?-Debate
Speaking in tounges?- Debate
Tarring for the Holy Spirit?- Debate
When you recieve the Holy Spirit?-Debate
Is Jesus God?- Divide
The way to salvation?-Divide
What say ye?
