12\/14\/2024<\/strong> So we got an email about our church sprinkler system failure causing us not able to worship tomorrow at Grace<\/strong>. So Nadia and I decided to visit the church which U has been moonlighting at. Millington Baptist Church. I have my list of churches to visit, MBC and PCA's Crossroads Community Church are on top of my list because they are being mentioned most during my time at Grace. I had briefly checked MBC's website before and was impressed by some of their programs, such as Behind the Pulpit podcast, which is supposed to be a chat about the sermon that was just preached. The idea was my praise, but I cannot value the content because I haven't gone through them comprehensively yet. But now, reading their statement of faith<\/a>, I caught some error: #5 \"Satan is the author of sin\", if I understand what they're implying, then I would not agree. Everyone of us is the author of sin, not just Satan. They probably got this off of John 8:44 \"father of lies\" or that it was Satan who beguiled Adam and Eve, which are inadequate for this conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12\/10\/2024<\/strong> Dr. Tong criticized \u5468\u795e\u52a9\u7267\u5e08 of twisting the verse: 1 Corinthians 14:15<\/strong> - \"pray with the spirit and also pray with the understanding. \u6211\u8981\u7528\u7075\u7977\u544a\uff0c\u4e5f\u8981\u7528\u7406\u667a<\/strong>\u7977\u544a.\" or \u7528\u609f\u6027<\/strong>\u7977\u544a. The Charismatics twisted this verse to be all should speak in tongue. Tong had them hosted a debate on this during the 4th \u534e\u5bcc\u5927\u4f1a<\/a>\u3002I have just ordered this meeting for $22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
