INTRODUCTION The grace convention 2013 is the brain child of Goshen 360 who intends for it to be his contribution to religious discuss on the religion forum of nairaland.com following his being awarded the Poster of the Year for 2012. The sole purpose of this convention is for nairalanders to appreciate the grace of God more: with the hope that those who do not share the Christian faith may come to faith through grace in Jesus Christ. It is also hoped that those who are already saved but are not enjoying the grace of God sufficiently might come to do so as they partake of this convention. The grace convention 2013 is meant to be an e-convention. That means that people will partake of this convention not in the traditional manner of assembling in a building but by reading a nairaland thread and posting on it. We shall be having presenters come to the thread, who are nairalanders themselves, come to present papers of various topics bothering on the whole concept of grace. Seven teachers shall be presenting these papers as will be mentioned below. We believe God that this Convention will be a blessing to both nairalanders and visitors on this forum and it will leave everyone with a richer grasp of the concept of the gospel of grace and make everyone of us serve God better with grace in our hearts. The planners and organizers of this convention are Goshen 360, who came up with the vision,Tgirl4real and DrummaBoy. They will not be presenting papers per se but will be the hosts of the convention. They will act as reviewers of the papers presented and ensure that the questions and contributions made by nairalanders are properly directed to the right person. They will also acts as chief wip under the moderator. 7 Likes |

It is best a Christianity Section be created seperately like that of Islam. If this should start, which I would also like to start soon, the so called anti-Jesus on this forum will also come in and make their confusions known... @Seun Under Religion section, kindly lets have Christianity and Islam and let every other ones like Hindu and the rest take the general section. Christianity should be recognised. 5 Likes |

Bidam: Quite unfortunate you left out seasoned teachers of the word like Olaadegbu, Joagbaje,Image123,Ihedinobi,Alwaystrue,Snowwy etc.. Just because they don't share your views on doctrinal tithes doesn't mean they don't have one or two things to say on the issue of grace. Stop having sour grapes just because you and your cohorts who believe in diluting the gospel were not invited to be speakers. The tithe doctrine by it's very nature denies the grace gospel and anybody that believes a christian must tithe certainly doesn't understand the concept of grace which christ's gospel brings. So why should such a person be invited to speak on a topic he/she does not fully grasp 4 Likes |

DrummaBoy: @ Bidam Its not about organising his own convention. It is one Nairaland and here, we preach One God, One Love and One Heaven. So, I would advice we know how many lectures and have a poll for all lectures and the person with the most credible wins the opportunity to present knowing that the ones whoes names will be used in the poll will be stating their interest beforehand... 3 Likes |

Okay , let's be ALL inclusive on the condition that we will do a peer review of each other's teachings before submission. So let's include some more brothers / sisters and take a vote on who is best suited to address a specific topic ? One thing is certain, Bro Jo and Bidam are banned from preaching on the Tithe - Thanks. |

frosbel: Okay , let's be ALL inclusive on the condition that we will do a peer review of each other's teachings before submission. People do not always agree on one thing or the other. There's no point doing a peer review of what someone wants to teach or not - that in itself will be legalism. We say, the Spirit of God will use our guest teachers to deliver the mind of God even though some (at least not all) will still not agree to what all or one of the teachers will teach. 1 Like |

It's not about division - we cannot do that. We can include them in any forth coming edition. The fact we don't agree doesn't mean we are not one in Christ. We have carefully and prayerfully selected these speakers because it's the first edition of the Grace Convention. Let there be no strife brothers. We will all enjoy their teachings. 2 Likes |

Kun has said it all: why should anyone who is an avowed law keeper be invited to a meeting were grace and freedom from laws are being discussed? Who is Bidam to be talking about dividing the body of Christ now; when one J'85 came telling us that we are not only to tithe but keep the whole of Moses' laws and Bidam was all over endorsing such demonic messages, Was he not dividing Jesus Body then? The law is the number one means of division, and Christ came to annulled to make us one; that is what this convention is going to espouse. Let it be known that this convention for me is the end of all controversies. Following it, I would say little or nothing on grace and laws. Who ever wants to keep Moses 613 laws afterwards can be my guest then. If I was Bidam, I will present my own paper too on the convention, Without breaking the thread's laws. Or I will organize my own convention. Not come here and be spewing venom. 1 Like |

I have been cautioned: Indeed everyone has a reason to query anything anywhere on this forum. The appropriate thing is to respond to such query. I guess I have not responded too well to Bidam's query. Maybe it would have been sufficient to say that Christian communion is not necessarily democratic and that the steps we took were according to God's leading and based on our best judgements. This should have been the best response to Bidam. If, however, U are still offended, I tender my apology to U (again). You are very welcome both to this thread and the one that will hold the convention. |

I am saddened and sorry to read just now that this initiative is bringing division. I personally did not think of being divisive when I agreed to take part. In fact this position of mine is more so as I knew that two of the other presenters are not even Trinitarians. I hope the matter of divisiveness is resolved quickly and that the initiative is not blighted (further?) by this matter. 4 Likes |

^ Thank you my brother. God bless you. I think Bidam took the matter out of its original intent and made big issues out of it. It is practically not possible we have everybody as guest teachers except we want to make it like 5 or 7 days event. Even if you have 5\7 days, not everyone will teach and some will still complain, we can't bring in everyone (teachers) at this time. Like I said earlier, people will always disagree, convention or not but it doesn't divide us in Christ. This is the first, we have prayerfully and graciously selected our guests. It doesn't mean we dislike other. We can not all teach in this first event. 1 Like |
