What I Believe Q&A

[Steve]

NOTE: I'm not doing this to prove I know my beliefs. I'm doing this to help myself know them. I've felt a little lax in this department lately, and I've felt too swayable. So I encourage you to challenge me.

[John Chrysostom]

Okay, can you link to your churches website or list some beliefs you hold?

[John Chrysostom]

Can you expand on the issue of the Lord's Supper? Specifically the part that says these ordinances confirm and nourish the believer. Do you believe it to be a symbol only? Also how often do you take communion and is it open or closed?

Are you reformed?

Do you believe that miracles take place in the present age?

Can you share a bit of your journey? Did you grow up in this denomination?

[Steve]

We believe it is symbolic. We take it once a month and it is open to any believer of any denomination.

Uh... fluff up my memory what does "reformed" mean, in this context?

Very much so. Personally, I believe that miracles are increasingly common, but we tend to overlook them.

I'll get to this one when I have more time.

[John Chrysostom]

Could a Catholic take communion?

Reformed meaning predestination and once saved always saved.

What is your churches stance on the Nicean Creed?
