Also, there's a philosphical concern I have with a Pentecost established church which would make the Holy Spirit the hero, a position that He Himself would avoid in His efforts to point to Christ.<BR/><BR/>In any event, you've done some legwork here, that I've been meaning to do for myself for some time, so thank you.<BR/><BR/>There is one objection to the "Jesus built it" position for which I haven't been able to give an answer. That is, that being a member of the church today requires "the baptism of the Holy Spirit," something that happens at salvation (I'm being lazy and not point to verses here ... assuming that I'm not taking a terribly radical position there). However, it is argued that the Holy Spirit wasn't here till Jesus ascended. Ergo, no church without the Holy Spirit. Any thoughts on that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18747631.post-1169336113974817582007-01-20T17:35:00.000-06:002007-01-20T17:35:00.000-06:00not every one will agree with that for some odd re...not every one will agree with that for some odd reason. and worse is they resort to name calling like third grade bulliesChris Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09627506570519673041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18747631.post-1169331758025150792007-01-20T16:22:00.000-06:002007-01-20T16:22:00.000-06:00I'm with you Chris...when Jesus said, "I will buil...I'm with you Chris...when Jesus said, "I will build my church," that pretty much settled it in my mind...Steve Beznerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260563791091215318noreply@blogger.com
