i cun realli explain biblical separation well...but if u r catholic or evangelical, u will condemn tis doctrine...its basically saying tat there shld be separation btw christians as we have differences in doctrines...nt toking abt fundamentals but the deeper doctrinal issues...issues like, tribulation, the supernatural gifts, calvinism vs armenianism etc...
so these christians r saying tat there shld nt be spiritual fellowship among christians of diff. doctrines...tis does nt mean nt making frends wif other christians...it means tat if there was an event like the festival of praise...they shld nt take part as such events involve christians all ard the country...basically, they hold on to tis belief cos they believe they shld hold fast to wad they have been tot n nt to be swayed by other doctrines...
ecumenism i am toking abt is like the festival of praise...i am nt toking abt diff. religions coming tgr to pray to their diff. gods...(there was 1 such case after the tsunami happened) meaning to say tat let there be no denomination barrier but casting aside our differences, we focus on the common goal...which is to win the lost n be in spiritual unity....
so u can see tat these 2 beliefs dun see eye-to-eye...christians who practise biblical separation condemn ecumenism saying tat ecumenism will onli lead more n more christians away from the truth... -
ouch!
SMS talk .. painful for the eyes. -
But arent most of us biblical separation. I doubt any of us are willing to throw aside our doctrines for Pan-Christianity.

If ecumenism to a believer of God is to ignore the differences between denomination practices and worship as one church, and that these believers also seek to separate themselves from the world, why should there be an issue?Originally posted by despondent:protestants can be divided into tis 2 categories...most protestants though r ecumenical...however, there r some namely the reformers who practise the doctrine of biblical separation...juz how biblical is tis doctrine of separation? air ur views here...
so you need to define the scope of ecumenism.... only with believers? or with practioners of other religions and philosophies? -

The KJV bible uses corrupted manuscripts. I have shown it in another thread.Originally posted by despondent:the link u gave is specifically the group of christians i am toking abt...they r famous for biblical separation...they believe tat the NIV bible is ecumenical n tat KJV bible is the onli accurate english version... -
BPs more likely. 'Reformed' refers to your theological dispositions, not really the same as denomination. In fact I suspect there are many BPs who wave the BP flag, wave their KJV, attack evolutionists etc. without a firm foundation in theology or science. You can think of them as brainless idiots.Originally posted by despondent:yes...the BPs n more specifically, the reformed christians...they r anti-charismatics as well as anti-catholics...u can nvr find them at events like festival of praise...some of them dun even noe who is don moen n hillsongs
FOP attracts people who prefer a certain kind of worship. I believe there are people from baptist, methodists and anglican churches who don't go FOP too. -
