Roger Maynard is the pastor. Just like Orville Damron (Tommy's dad) before him and Nolan Queen before him. Sorry to see Tony go to Salem baptist.
Echo baptist church
- Thread starter Marshall Jeff
- Start date
Tony left to become the pastor at Salem, and still is. Salem is a sister church of Echo.
Yehh can you get it back? Scientology is a pyramid scheme and it brainwashes people.
So you held off lying for as long as you could, which wasn't very long. You Godless lying trumptard.
Dont agree with but participate anyway. Telling.
So as long as Echo still gets their tithe all is fine.
Basically, what I said. You claimed that people are saved by preaching. No, they are not. They may hear the gospel from a preacher but that doesn't mean they are saved by hearing the preacher. I think we agree on the path to salvation, but you'll never admit it because of the disdain you have for me.
If being saved was as easy as simply hearing the gospel from a preacher, a preacher could stand in the pulpit and give away salvation like Oprah Winfrey gives away cars, and people would have no choice but to take it.
^^^The idiot posts. You agree with everything you were taught in school? That your parents taught you? That MU does? That your boss/employees do? You idiot.
There are no tithes. Moron.
It is. I am reading ans watching things on it. It is a scam and they do trap people.
You better get your money back. If you get to a certain level they are going to hold things against you.
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 10: and how shall they hear without a preacher
You're a liar. Want proof?? You're here.
^^Here I am chewing on a cud of trump chum. But it's not like it used to be. It tastes like...what's the word...malarkey.
I have no idea what he said, because I obviously have him blocked. But Romans says faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. So, technically, you must hear preaching before you could be saved. The preacher is just the vessel in which the Holy Spirit uses, and if the Holy Spirit is not drawing you, then you can’t be saved.
Hearing comes not just from preaching but from reading as well. How many people have come to Christ not through formal church services, preaching and altar calls but rather by getting hold of a Bible and reading it?
And before a certain non-believer pipes in when most people read they hear the words in their minds.
Edited to add: In Jesus' time on earth the written word was not widespread, therefore the preaching of the Word was the primary way most people heard the Gospel. Bringing the written Word of God to the masses brought about a new way for the Gospel to be proclaimed.

Why are so many biblical stories almost identical to very unique stories that were part of earlier religions?
You said it medical professionals and Jesus didn't help this kid L Ron is his only hope as long as you have enough money in you Diane account
There he goes doing it again, calling God a liar. Nothing in the New Testament will support your statement.
Not a single one. None.
I believe in the parable of the lost sheep and the Good Shepherd...

"I found God at the Dallas-Lovefield Airport when I was on a business trip."
"In an effort to stop thinking about these things, I picked up my Bible and began to read. I was still in the early books of the Bible. I was studying Christianity and reading the Bible from the beginning with a goal of supporting my girlfriend in her beliefs. Compromise is an important part of any relationship, and I saw this as a good place to try to meet her half way."
"Why should reading a book that I didn’t believe and wasn’t particularly enjoying make me feel happy? As an atheist, I had no rational answer for that question."
I also believe that John the Baptist came to pave the way for the Lord without being preached to for he was a prophet of God. Was he a Believer? Absolutely! Did he come to be a Believer because he was preached to? I don't believe so as he leapt for joy in the womb when he felt the presence of Jesus. If he believed in the womb why would he need to be preached to in order to believe???

I believe I recently said I would not respond to you unless you had a sincere question about God. Whether this is sincere or not I don't know but I will attempt to be true to my word.
As to earlier religions the Bible starts with "In the beginning..." How can any other religion be earlier than that?
Continuing in Genesis one finds the story of the great flood. Interestingly virtually every society and religion contains a reference to a great flood.
Also contained later in Genesis is the story of the Tower of Babel. This was after the flood and peoples were scattered across the globe with different languages. But their histories and memories weren't wiped out. The flood was a part of these histories and memories and this is likely the reason the account of the flood is included in so many of the religions you have referenced.
Continuing through the Old Testament there are many references to "false" religions. Perhaps these are the very "earlier" religions your are referring to.
I'm no OT scholar nor have I spent much time and energy studying and comparing various religions but I trust this post attempts to answer your question.
However the more I do study the more I am convinced Christianity is the one true religion for countless reasons. Christ is more polarizing than Confucius, Muhammad or the Buddha. There is power in that. There is also power in Jesus' words that only Believers can understand. And Jesus' teachings run counter to those other religions and basic human nature. Man in his selfish nature couldn't "invent" Christianity because man by nature can't "deny" himself.
Sounds more like "Ego" Baptist... Man alone can't bring someone to God but that seems to be the argument someone here is trying to make...
Man can be a vessel, but the Word of God is the Truth...
Hebrews 4:12
New International Version
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
BAAAHAHA!!!
EGO BAPTIST is the perfect name for a church that Greed would attend.
Hey Greed, we are ALL called into discipleship by God to be the Body of Christ on Earth (which is round, BTW).
This is to spread the teachings of God's word to everyone, everywhere. People come to faith through believers everyday and many of which are not Preachers.
To backup what @WV-FAN was saying, you do not have to hear the message coming from a Preacher in order to be saved.

You are Biblically insane. First I didn't say you had to be in a church house while someone was preaching to be saved. I guarantee that IF the person in your story was saved, he had heard the gospel preached. Multitudes of people have come to accept Jesus at home or wherever. After that there is labor for a Christian to perform. In your story there is no mention of asking God for forgiveness, nor anything about baptism.I believe in the parable of the lost sheep and the Good Shepherd...

Secondly, your John the Baptist excuse is a pitiful attempt to make God a liar (that seems to be your forte). First, Christ didn't begin preaching until AFTER being baptized by John. John was one of a kind in that he had the Holy Spirit while yet in the womb, furthermore the Gospel couldn't have been preached to him unless God revealed it to him in the womb as the Gospel of Jesus didn't exist.
Now, stop making stuff up and show us in the New Testament where it says you can read scripture and be saved.
I’m no longer a child, so I have the free will to do what I want to do and what I choose to participate in. Hell no I don’t agree with everything I was taught in school or by my parents, that’s why as an adult, I do it differently now with my own. If my employees don’t execute the way they need to or should….they are gone. I no longer participate in the MU Alumni association because their decisions were not the direction I believed it needed to go years ago.
If I don’t agree…I don’t participate or practice what is being told to me. Thanks for proving you’re an absolute sheep.
You're inventing stuff again. Stop it. I'm telling you what God says...
1 Corinthians 1:21 it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
And here is why some members of this board mock preaching...
1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness;
You don’t really want to know. A conversation you’ve avoided in the past. Not worth our time in discussing again.
