Holy Spirit! Baptisim of fire??
by mad max inwanted to know if the holy spirit is the same thing when people talk about being babtised with fire.
does'nt sound the same.. reason being is when i went to this church end jan i accepted jesus into my life (can you believe it, i was supposed to do that when i became a jw or when i got babtised in 1982. just recentley got announced that i am no longer a jw) anyway i felt then that i received the holy spirit and had it quicken in me.
now other people say to me "have i been babtised in the holy spirit?

Why are the Old and New Testaments in the same book?
by sonnyboy ini'm not sure why christians study and quote from both the old and new testaments.
it's my understanding that the ot applies only to hebrews.
in the nt, jesus supposedly created a new covenant, so many of the old laws don't apply.. the old and new testaments seem to represent two distinct religions.

Faith by definition?
by wherehasmyhairgone inwhen i was a jw i never really thought about what faith is, i always had the hebrew scripture and kinda recited it as my definition.. now faith is understood differently by jw then it is from other religions from what i have seen.. the wt comment on the later verse of heb .
at hebrews 11:1, the greek word translated "evident demonstration" (e legkhos) conveys the idea of presenting evidence to demonstrate something, particularly something contrary to what appears to be the case.
positive or concrete evidence makes clear what previously went undiscerned, thereby refuting what only appeared to be the case.

Song "Raccoon Revival"
by hmike inthis may not be a great place to ask about this, but i'm desperate for some information.. back in the early 70s, there was a little-known song that i heard on pop radio stations.
the song was titled, "raccoon revival.
" it was about a spiritually dead church in some rural midwest area, or maybe the ozarks.
