John for JESUS wrote: Good points, accept the part about baptism because without baptism a person does not have Christ and therefore would not be saved. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Galatians 3:27 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. Mark 16:16
What about the thief on the cross? Surely the baptism that is required is of the Holy Spirit and not water baptism. Many will have water baptism and yet not be saved Acts 8:13-21
From an ethical and moral prospective neither man was fit to be your President. Trump is to the world out side of the USA an embarrassment to your great nation. Biden may be to most people outside the USA viewed better of the two but for us in the UK politically he might like his former boss be anti UK but pro European. Also because of so many so called evangelicals who claimed to have had direct revelation that Trump would win I am glad they are once again shown to be false teachers but sadly many of their followers will continue to buy into their excuses as to why their prophecies failed. Spiritually though Jesus Christ still reigns in and over both the USA and the rest of the world who ever is in the White house. To God be the glory.
Given John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Ghost in the womb Luke1:15 and leaped for joy Luke 1:44 at the presence of our Lord, clearly then life begins in the womb and not just at the actual birth of any child. Also God knew, sanctified and ordained Jeremiah in the womb. Jeremiah 1:5. The deliberate act of destroying the child in the womb is then murder.
What if God put Trump in office has a judgment upon the USA? Just as Johnson is a judgment upon the UK, both nations having forsaken the Word of God a long time ago.
This is one of the reasons I would not join in the weekly Thursday night clap for the NHS, which has thankfully stopped now. When we do, and we will eventually legalise euthanasia in the UK the go too institution will be our NHS. What should be a healing and caring institution is becoming increasingly our biggest legalised murderer.
How does an article about churches opening for prayer in the UK get to be about American politics? Is the fact that churches on both side of the Atlantic are shut a reason for great concern and prayer by believers, may be its us that God is chastising because we argue about politics rather than humble ourselves before our God and seek His grace and mercy not only because of our own sin but for our nations which have forsaken the narrow paths and walked on the broad paths that lead to destruction.
Until we can have collective worship this remains an irrelevance to me I can call upon the name of the Lord anywhere and do not need a building for prayer.
Nineveh had received the word of God under the preaching by Jonah it had come to repentance Jonah 3:5-9 but within a hundred to hundred fifty years returned to its rebellious and pagan ways. Our modern western society as done much the same, forsaking God, His Word and large parts of professing Christianity has corrupted the gospel to a health, wealth and happiness message.
If Covid 19 as taught us anything its for Church and state to return to the old paths of true religion taught in Gods Word and to forsake the man centred and man pleasing religion passing its self of as Christianity today. But we also instead of tearing each other apart on these pages need also to humble ourselves before the Lord and repent of our own sinful nature and attitudes towards Brethren, any unbeliever viewing some of the threads on here could only concluded "see how these Christians hate each other".
I just understand this obsession of playing the national anthem at a sports event do any other nations do this? Its only at internationals that this pretence is played out in the UK. Never at a club match. Also if you are not an American citizen are you expected to stand given your national anthem will not be played? The believer allegiance is to Christ not there country, especially when it violates Gods law as much of the worlds nations do.
Is it not time that all who love the Lord Jesus Christ stopped watching and using films even in evangelism ?
By using films as a tool for evangelism we legitimise the film industry and train our young people that the industry is acceptable. While all along corrupting their souls.
1Corr 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
PS 101:3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes:
Given that we are to love the Almighty with 'All our Hearts Minds and Bodies' what we do in our leisure time should always be for the glory of God. How can watching murder, theft adultery and now increasingly Sodomy be either good for our souls or to the glory of God. 1Cor 10:31 whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Then how come you don't understand how sinful, arrogant, selfish and unbiblical your childish statement is. Read James 4:13-15. You gave no thought to God or His will for you, you seem to think that you can pick up a guitar and become an overnight supper star ( which is nothing but idolatry). you even appear not to have a guitar at the moment; how do you know if you have the aptitude to play it. Its all childish dreams.
The Rainbow is the sign of the covenant of God with His creation after the flood and the church needs now to start reclaiming the God given sign of His promise not to destroy His creation by a flood ever again.
She only needs them to pass the Queens speech and any budget, and any no confidence vote, after that they will probably just become a minor party that they are. Although they are socially Conservative as for their Christianity I am not so sure. We are probably looking at another election very soon.
I don't think Boris is the answer, upset too many in the party and so it would be open warfare in the Tory party which in turn will lead to Labour getting in. The UK electorate don't vote for parties which are at war with themselves.
