Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: .. Jas 4:11

LIFESTYLES

Knowing God	Feeling God
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Ac 17:11	Open to Extra biblical revelation - Signs & Lying Wonders and Miracles II Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

Traditional Singing and Making Melody in your heart to the Lord	New, Fresh, Attractive Methods and uplifting Music combined with Anointed Song Leaders
Music being used to worship, exalt and glorify the Triune God	Music being used as a means of "connecting" or "feeling" the Presence of God through repetition

Attitude toward Israel

The restoration of the modern state of Israel is thus a Biblical credential and Christians believe that it is an act of God, in faithfulness to His covenant with Abraham some 4000 years ago.

Israel, having failed God, has been
replaced with the Church. As a consequence all the Biblical promises made to Israel are transferred to the church. The church is now the real Israel of God and Israel's national destiny in God is forever forfeited.

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. Jude 1:3	For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.2Ti 4:3 - 4
