I will correct you in measure. - Jeremiah 30:11

Sin procures correction, and love sends it. Every child is chastened, because every child sins. But though we are corrected for sin, yet not according to the desert of sin.

CONDEMNED, censures pronounced to be wrong, guilty, worthless or forfeited, adjudged or sentenced to be ashamed at the judgment seat of Christ or punished accordingly during this lifetime. So in what situations or circumstances do Believers condemn themselves? 1.…

The Lord’s Supper

*Acts 28 dispensationalists do not practise the Lord’s supper for the simple reason that it is referenced in 1 Corinthians, an Acts epistle, but apart from this, it is also due to that which Paul mentions in verses 25 and 29 in particular which makes them render these verses pertaining to the Lord’s supper null and void for believers today… 1 Corinthians 11:23-34For I have received of the Lord…
