Does Jehovah truly base salvation on organizational affiliation, or does He judge each person by the condition of the heart? In Revelation chapters 2 and 3, Jesus inspected seven congregations that differed sharply in faithfulness. Yet, instead of commanding individuals to get out of those problem congregations, he still held them in his right hand […]

Historical evidence shows that early Christians often testified that prophecy, tongues, and other spiritual gifts continued long after the apostles—in some cases, for several centuries. The belief that such gifts ended with the apostolic age is not found in early church teaching.Instead, cessationism—the view that these gifts must cease—emerged much later, primarily during the Reformation.

Nor was he giving them a mandate to make known to the world the name of his father. But along with revealing God’s character and personality, there was something […]

In his letter to the Galatians, the apostle Paul explains that faithful servants of God were once under a guardian or tutor. (Galatians 3:24,25) So by claiming that it is their responsibility and role to “shepherd the flock” and to make decisions that, in their view, help the whole community remain spiritually clean and united, […]
