I did and there’s 6 more things needed beforehand…Widows over 60 are meant to wash the saints feet and then they can be blessed and provided for.
1 Timothy 5:10
Look it up!
how do you know what was his exact words ?but no such blessing attached to foot washing by our Lord.
well then i guess there is no need for farther discussion.. once again its all in what we want. i have been down this road before in person and in forums . if Jesus said we are blessed by knowing these things then as far as i am concerned . i take it at face value its like the older said to me in the lynch meeting . i been a Baptist all my life and never heard of foot washing .I just don't see these type of promises tied to foot washing
Well I suppose I could speculate or I could go by what is written. I choose to go with what is written. I’m a terrible speculator. I see nothing written concerning a promise specific to foot washing.how do you know what was his exact words ?
to be honest i dont know a whole lot about the r.c .c . i have been told hunting easter eggs is a pagan celebration. Christmas trees idol to be worshiped .... my feelings on the matter as long as i teach the truth about easter Christmas etc. then kids can have fun. this is why i say foot washing done in the right spirit i have took communion in a dry service

so i opened up the book and read it him. poor guy had nothing to say the rest of the hanging meeting for me. . funny thing about that meeting was i used the words foot washing in a southern Baptist church pulpit. the former pastor daughter decided play the role of jezebel . she never got her way. till weeks later when i was called into another lynching meeting. was told it was the will of the Church i resign..
the amazing thing about it there was never a church meeting or voter. when a mind is totally closed there is no room for the Holy spirit to work. flesh prevails.
If you did not want comments and or advice that you would not be posting on this forum.
easy there dude i dont think i asked for advice ..its called a discussion ( you seem to be holding a grudge against those who asked you to leave your church.} a grudge you dont even know me so how can you make this remark? its called life experiences i can introduce you to pastors who has experienced far worse and use it as illustration. you have took something that you have no idea what it was about. let me explain to you what the beef was with the former pastor daughter. i was a general baptist preaching in a southern baptist pulpit. the church was growing it had nothing to do with me mentioning foot washing. the entire fleshly thing was about a denominational name . i preach and teach a know so salvation the discussion is the reason the church is floundering.. i have kept saying there are many things. what i just posted is only part of it.. called carnal minds . please dont assume you know what is going on.. i have plenty of stories of what i seen out of church people. i take all these things and gain wisdom from it.to keep it from happening in the present Church... curious would you allow a general baptist in your pulpit
your truth or God truth i don't hunt Easter eggs we don't put up a tree for Christmas in our house. but its not due to some pagan speculation but we did put up a Christmas tree in the church and we worshiped in truth and spiritCorrect.
The idea of Easter eggs comes from Genesis 10 and the wife of Nimrod whose name was Semeramis. Goggle her name and you will be able to know all about her. She is the original spiritual Babylon whore and she is the originator of idolatry.
She is also where the idea of Easter rabbits originated.
Christmas trees originated from the ancient "Druids". The trees were a sign of eternal life because they lived through the cold.
It is one thing to use a tradition out of ignorance. It is a completely different thing to know the truth and then continue to follow a tradition.
It is the truth that sets a man free my friend.
tell ya what i am not asking you to put your dog in the hunt.. btw i understand country sayings rather well one thing i dont do is ask advice in a forum. i know a pastor who told he was rocking the boat. his reply i am here to stomp a hole in that boat . its sink or swim ! i am a swimmer i consider this matter closedWell my dear brother......I do not have a dog in this hunt.

how do they figure that ? Justification takes place the moment we get saved same as sanctification. if anything parts of the Body have forgot about being sanctified .set a a part from the world possibly some have forgottena feeble view of the doctrine of justification alone is the reason the Church is floundering?
To turn direction a bit (since we have an absentee OP).
Luther, the Reformers, R.C. Sproul, J.I. Packer etc. would say that justification is the article by which the Church stands or falls.
Perhaps a feeble view of the doctrine of justification alone is the reason the Church is floundering?
I guess I am not following you. Does not justification speak to the issue of how sinful man can pass the judgment seat of God? Is not how one views their justification determinative of whether they will go on serving God out of thanksgiving or serving Him for Brownie points (for merit)?how do they figure that ? Justification takes place the moment we get saved same as sanctification. if anything parts of the Body have forgot about being sanctified .set a a part from the world possibly some have forgotten
Deuteronomy 8
11 “Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today, 12 lest—when you have eaten and are [e]full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them; 13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are [f]multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; 14 when your heart [g]is lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; 15 who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, in which were fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty land where there was no water; who brought water for you out of the flinty rock; 16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, to do you good in the end— 17 then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’
18 “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may [h]establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. 19 Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the Lord your God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. 20 As the nations which the Lord destroys before you, so you shall perish, because you would not be obedient to the voice of the Lord your God.
And not just 'justification by faith' (which Rome also holds to), but 'justification by faith alone'...sola fide.Yes sir!
Without the proper understanding of justification, men always fall into the trap of "works based" salvation.
yes justification is declared as made righteous not guilty just as if we never sinned . we are made declared in right standings with God . sanctification is the progress of being made Holy 3 steps positional placed in the Body of Christ progressive the stage we are all in growing in the grace and knowledge , w.i.p work in progress finial i use ultimate we made it home our work on earth is done. i will state this again there is no one certain issue with the Church floundering , the 18 th i have a family coming the dad will preach they are awaiting the green light for missionary work in the Philippines the united states needs missionaries.Does not justification speak to the issue of how sinful man can pass the judgment seat of God?
This may be true, but if it's also true that the article of justification by faith alone is the article by which the Church stands or falls, then it is a foundational reason while the other 'stuff' are just symptoms or window dressing at best.i will state this again there is no one certain issue with the Church floundering ,
POSSIBLE i think possible because iniquity shall abound the love of many shall wax cold . where i live we are considered part of the Bible belt/ my guess 3/4 th was raised in a Bible believing Church but some of them have strayed left field .i like Galatians 5:1 &13. Galtian Church wanted revert back to law. today the law represent flesh . however even though faith is the key justification comes by the blood and grace also . maybe were saying the same thing not understanding each other i dunno . it boils down to our free will we do what we wantThis may be true, but if it's also true that the article of justification by faith alone is the article by which the Church stands or falls, then it is a foundational reason while the other 'stuff' are just symptoms or window dressing at best.
