Rejoice and be glad
Today and each day is The Lords Day

Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy." “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Please show where might I find His mandating such a practice. I understand that your group assembles each "Lord's Day". Please explain God’s mandate to keep the Lord’s Day.

I believe we have, and I don't really want to get into it all right now. Let me just encourage you to examine the context of the passage you quoted. The book of Hebrews was written to a church well-versed in the Old Testament, and it used language and examples they were familiar with in that regard. The writer here was simply warning them of the dangers of turning back to the old system, the old sacrificial system that is, after they had experienced the reality or the end of which those things pointed to. Besides, affirming that one can lose their salvation denies the very foundation of 'saved by faith/grace' altogether, and moves salvation into a Roman Catholic type of system where we are ultimately saved by our goodness rather than Christ's blood.

Nate, how do you interpret this passage, then: Hebrews 6:4-6 "For it is impossible in the case of those who have once been enlightened and tasted the heavenly gift and shared in the holy Spirit and tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to bring them to repentance again, since they are recrucifying the Son of God for themselves and holding him up to contempt." How, exactly, could the Holy Spirit "share" Himself with those whom were not at one point "saved"? This is akin to suggesting that an unbeliever has been granted the gift of the Holy Spirit. Further, how can one "fall away" if they were never in any position to fall? How can one "recrucify" the Son of God?

What's he going to be preaching on specifically? (other than the gospel and truth!) I'm with ya brother! He preaches in a way that you can tell that the truth has been literally etched on his soul. I've never heard a preacher quite like him either. Nate Hi Bill,
