Re: Placing of fellowship at a local church
Dear email, Thanks for visiting insearchoftruth.org. I will try to answer your questions. Placing membership with a local church when you move to a new location is a Biblical practice. We read in Acts 9:26-30 that Paul when he came to Jerusalem after his conversion, he tried to "join the disciples" ...

Re: The Sovereignty Of God (Total Depravity)
Pardon my delay in responding, but I have been very busy the last few days. As I read what you have to say, there is much with which I agree. You make statements that God has predestined you without your will being involved. Then you say you studied and then believed God’s word. When closely examin...

Re: throne
Thanks for writing for additional information and for clarification. It is wonderful you have an interest in spiritual things. No, Jesus in not ruling in a physical kingdom.

Thanks for visiting insearchoftruth.org. I will try to answer your question. Yes, Christ is sitting on David's throne today. As we look at II Samuel 7, we see the Lord speaking to King David through Nathan the prophet. In verses 11-16, we read--- “since the time that I commanded judges to be over My...

Dear Lim, I will have to say that you are persistent. That is an excellent quality. One needs to study the scriptures as did the Bereans in Acts 17:11.

I appreciate your willingness to confess and repent of your sinful activity. The Bible does teach we are to flee sexual immorality ( I Corinthians 6:18 ).

Thanks for visiting insearchoftruth.org. This is in response to your question about babies and sin.

Baptizing people "in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" or in "the name of the Lord Jesus Christ" are both acceptable.
