    I just don't know if I should I leave my church.

    My current church is a non-denominational church in Boston, Ma.

I am a credo-baptist and the baptist churches...

    "Unspoken"

    Have you ever heard the dispensationalist's argument that there are "two parts" to the promised seed of Abraham?

    Churches Among the Papists

    I am a bit confused. Is Calvin saying that there are true churches among the Papists or not? Maybe I am missing distinctions he is making? "12. Therefore, while we are unwilling simply to concede the name of Church to the Papists, we do not deny that there are churches among them. The...

    Head covering

    I have a question regarding 1 Corinthians 11. I am sure it has been discussed in this forum somewhere already. Is it proper for a woman to wear a head covering as she prays or prophesies?
