Christian Persecution

[phillip]

I have been persecuted by one Christian forum for believing in end-times prophecy, repentance, confession of one's sins for maintaining one's fellowship with God, for believing that Jesus' Words are for Gentiles as well as Jewish believers (spiritual principles), for believing in water baptism as an option for Christian believers, for believing that all books of the New Testament apply to Gentiles as well as Jews, for believing that the Church began at Pentecost, and for believing in evangelism and the Great Commission applying to Christians today and not just the 11 Jewish disciples. I was censored, threatened verbally, and ridiculed by the members of this Christian forum. I enjoy Rapture Forums because I have not been ridiculed for believing the Word of God is applicable for today.

Praise God for directing you to Rapture Forums as a refuge for you. This is a very truth focused message board and you can feel safe here.

Please know that there may be some who disagree with you on minor issues from time to time and that is just an exchange of ideas. But when it comes to the basics of our faith - as it appears you have outlined in your OP - you are among fellow sisters and brothers in the Lord.

God bless you.

Hello. I'm new to the forum. I was also ridiculed on a Christian forum for believing in the soon return of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ and bible prophecy. I'm also thankful to be on a Christian forum that gets along and rightly divides the word of truth.

This forum is quickly becoming my favorite forum because they do not criticize you here but show love and respect!

Many on this forum are hungry for the special wisdom God has given other members of the body of Christ and hope you share it with us all. You may see a little criticizm shown when sombody types something that doesn't come out right, but we sense the excitement of the faithful to see the fulfillment of scriptures. We are all like little children all looking for the same thing! So our countenance is all facing the same direction, like flowers for a visual. It's hard to see faults in others when you all look for the same thing.

That being said, those other forums you mention, must not be looking for the same thing you are. And with your talents, who wouldn't love and respect you?

But, on this forum I get to respond to things and not get criticized for posting. On that Christian forum they persecuted me for every little post. That's why this is a better forum!

[bball39]

I was disappointed in that other forum because they have persecuted me for preaching the truth. This forum though lets you preach the gospel!

[bball39]

I was really disappointed by this Christian forum because they don't believe that you've to repent of your sins in order to be saved. They said you could just mumble words and be saved. They said that you could just keep on doing the same old sin over and over again. That is false doctrine. You've to ask for forgiveness of your sins and repent of your sins in order to be saved. That forum made fun of me for preaching the truth about salvation. Which is repentance and asking for forgiveness of your sins. We need a revival bad in this country. Billy Sunday would be terrified at today's crowd. But, this forum preaches the truth about salvation!

Rapture forums is one of the best forums I have ever been on! I am glad to be among fellow true believers in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! May the Lord give you His peace and joy during this Christmas season. I Peter 4:14 says, "If ye be rerproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you? on their part He is evil spoken of, but on your part He is glorified!

Amen and Amen!
