Well, the Church or Churches I attend based on location at any point in time do all these things and I don't. As long as they don't preach or teach what's not in the Bible, I fellowship with them and I am a believer of what you have on your inside should reflect on your outside and also the standards of God not changing as the world changes. 1 Like |

Well, before you decide to become a member of this church ponder on these observations below 1. Female Ministers: well, you may say I'm sexist but the Bible does not command a woman to preach Reading through Scripture, a few passages stand out that directly speak to the role of women in the church: 1 Corinthians 11:3-12, 14:34-35, 1 Timothy 2:11-15 and Titus 1, 2. These passages are the foundation for the conclusion that women cannot be lead pastors in churches. 2. About speaking or praying in tongues pls read 1 Corinthians 14;1-28 Acts 2:1-11 you will understand that Speaking in Tongues is not speaking gibberish and bubbling about Nigerian churches have been polarized with Strange quasi Christianity that has nothing to do with real Christianity of the Bible May the God Lord help you locate a Bible teaching Church |

Today was kinda funny tho... One lady was just calling states and capitals thinking she was teaching us how to pray in tongues. I was just hearing sokotomaliba, Anambrayaya. I couldn't stop myself from smiling. The other one just wore a fitted dress and be shaking her waist. I just observed and focused on my mission since we can't permanently shut our organs. 1 Like |

nigeritogoriba, imoportakokokoriba But that is wrong, the gift comes from God not by trying to put different sounds together. Its not good to try to force it out or do it from ones effort. It is a gift The Holy Spirit gives to whomever he chooses or decides to give. SonOfHercules: 1 Like 1 Share |

thinkmoney: Is it God that defines the dressing standard? Nope! But you and people like you - you define it, condemn, and judge others that don't fall into your definition. That's wrong. How did this whole thing started? It started just like the issue of gay and related stuff today. World people pushed for a certain way of life until they made it standard for them and then judge others that don't adjust to their standard. What's God's standard? Godly morals! Once you have them in your heart and allow them lead you, you don't have a problem. However, you will also have to factor in the law of the land in that area. If the law condemns it, then you'll be punish by the law if the keepers of the law comes for you. But being punished by the law doesn't mean God is condemning you. By the way, what's 50/100 abeg, when heaven is the goal? Tell me, who among the two set of people can make heaven? |

Lucifyre:I think that the reason why it's like this is because people don't study the bible. When you study the bible, everything becomes clear and nobody can deceive you. Preachers and Pastors are not encouraging their congregation to study the bible properly. Every time in church the preachers would say open to the book of That verse This to This, usually short texts and they read that particular text and the preacher starts to preach from that verse.... Many times what the preacher is preaching is not what that verse is talking about, but because nobody bothers to read the preceding verses and the following verses and sometimes the whole chapter to understand the full scope of what the verses are talking about, they get easily misled and confused and lost. |

JohnBullMySon: So if someone dresses naked to church it doesn't affect the other person? I guess that's what you're trying to say. Away from the church, we've had cases where indecent dressings were banned in universities and other forms of gathering. Would u say the people who made these restrictions were erratic, because according to u indecent dressing doesn't affect the next person? You should know that one of the things that differentiates us or makes us higher mammals is the ability to spot good and evil, in essence sound morals. |

Prince202020:That is the contention and beginning of misconception.. Thats how Christianity allow all sort of evil beliefs to creep-in. Church of Satan, Ordaining gay Bishops etc. Things that are entirely out of Abrahamic religions. Its absord and moronic to distort the true revelation to suit and accommodate everyone. In Islam, its either you follow to true teachings or you keep deceiving yourself. |

OluwaLina1:You're the one with the problem not modernisation. If others pray in tongues, nothing stop you from praying in understanding. What and how to pray depends on individuals. Nothing is wrong with trousers, infact some skirts are worse than trousers. Dressing in modesty is key. You are suffering from spiritual Inferiority. |

samuelson06:I advice you go back to the Bible and get to know what we came here to do and our final destiny really. You have referred to our dressing standard and even sexual orientation as though it is not something Bible defines and regulate. You are either ignorant or lying as I will point to you that God actually through the Bible regulates our dressing by two/three standards; 1. It was in the beginning in Eden that God actually fist start to define and regulate dressing standards. The standard God set there was that clothings must cover. God replaced the clothes our first parent made with leaves with that made of animal skins. 2: God enjoins us to dress in a way that we won’t be mistaken to other sex or people that the world sees as belong to some culture with ungodly vices. 3: this encapsulate everything, and it is that our conduct and clothing must glorify God “FOR THERE ARE CLOUD OF WITNESSES AROUND US.” You remember I said at the very beginning that I do not know your religion but then you boasted that the Bible regulates you. But this hasn’t been evident in your argument. I have made in all my response references to Bible events and even quoted Bible, and you haven’t been able to fault any of this. But you on the other hand, have hardly made reference to anything from the Bible. One can conclude that you are not really being regulated by the Bible but by human (limited and deficient) wisdom and traditions. You have even gone 180 degrees by going against your advice not to judge by directly judging me and falsely saying that ‘me and people like me’ define dressing standards and condemn people. Dressing like gay issue has been refined and regulated by the Bible. And I have all the while shown you this |

samuelson06:Because I didn’t put chapters and verses to it abi? Lol... Just in my last response alone, I mentioned the event to you at Genesis 3:20. I also showed you the idea that is in Deuteronomy 22:5 and 1 Corinthians 6:20 (“glorify God in your body”). And when I quoted that “there are clouds of witnesses around us” I was almost quoting directly Hebrew 12:1. My friend, your argument and response hasn’t evidently shown that you are being guided by the Bible. This mean you are most likely not a Christian... maybe only Christian in name. To rest this it might be that you are in the wrong place and reacting to the wrong issue. This issue is for Christians and people that are ready to accept in FULL bibles regulations and definitions. |

Truthday: There are varieties in Islam too as we've seen over the years in Nigeria. That's why we've had Maitatsine, Boko Haram, ISWAP etc. Also the ones who operate camps where people are indoctrinated based on doctrines which seem alien to Islam as we know it. Of course, they misinterprete the Quran to justify their lifestyles. |
