As someone who was … As someone who was raised in this church for 18 years, I would completely disagree with him. They believe that you do not EVER go to heaven and that only 144,000 people will be taken up in the rapture. These 144,000 are what they consider an “overcomer”. They do not celebrate any holidays. They believe that how ever many people they have call on the Lord it brings them closer to becoming an “overcomer”. Basically you are fighting other believers for a place with Jesus.
I have been meeting … I have been meeting with the Local Church for 35 years. I’m now in a retirement home and miss having a sister here to have the same kind of fellowship I have had with LSM. I do have the saints come and visit me tho, for which I’m very thankful. I’ve been in many demonations and haven’t been able to find satisfaction in my spirit.
I thank the Lord He led me here.
CRI is not alone. … CRI is not alone. Fuller Theo Seminary, ECPA and many others agree too. It’s also interesting to note that the response from Geisler and Rhodes, from a purely argumentative perspective, is quite weak. In fact, I would say that it is not a response but just simply a restatement of what was said before. It’s obvious after having read both that CRI did the research. Geisler, Rhodes and the others have not and have chosen not to address 99% of the points in the CRI Journal. Do your research people.
It is a common … It is a common error to take quote out of the context and take them as evidence. CRI used same ways to accuse Witness Lee’s teaching, but after they got into the books and talked to the brothers and sisters who meet in the local church they became clear that there is no contradiction.
CRI is virtually … CRI is virtually alone in its assessment of this movement. Other views by a wide selection of theologians and ministry leaders can be viewed at open-letter (dot) org. That site also includes a response to CRI’s position, written by noted Christian apologists Norman Geisler and Ron Rhodes. That information should certainly be taken into account when evaluating CRI’s change of heart on the subject.
I thank you for … I thank you for clarifying your understanding on living stream ministry. I think the saints in the church are wonderful.. I do not live near one right now but in the past i met with the church for more than 20 years. I miss the daily fellowship very much and hope to see a church raised up where i live in Beloit Wisconsin . thanks again
