An appreciation for one’s denomination is not as prevalent
today as it once was. Nevertheless, concerned members of the body of Christ
should have an understanding and an appreciation for the heritage and
contribution of their denomination. What are our distinctive beliefs? What have
we contributed to the Christian community and society generally? These are
important questions. Since I am a Baptist, I would like to recommend that you
read a great article (here), written by Kenneth Keathley, regarding the
Baptists key involvement in the adoption of our great nation’s Bill of Rights.

THE INTERDENOMINATIONAL INTERPRETERS BIBLE
ReplyDeleteIf all the denominations of the world assembled and presented the world with a new translation of the Bible, what would it contain?
Comparison of the New King James Version (NKJV) and how the Interdenominational Interpreters Bible (IIB) might appear.
NKJV: John 16:23 "And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My nameHe will give you.
IIB: John 16:23 "And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, the name of the Virgin Mary, and the names other dead saints He will give you.
NKJV: Hebrews 6:4-6 For it is impossible for those who were once enlighten, and have tasted the heavenly gift , and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
IIB: Hebrews 6:4-6 It is possible for those who were once enlighten, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew then again to repentance, because all Christians are once saved always saved......
NKJV: Mark 16:16 "He who believes and is baptized will be saved;but he who does not believe will be condemned.
IIB: Mark 16:16 "He who believes is already saved and should be baptized as a testimony of his faith; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
NKJV: Galatians 1:8 But even if we,or an angel from heaven,preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
IIB: Galatians 1:8 But even we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other way to be saved do not judge them, because we are all going to the same place anyway. God has given many denominations, and various doctrines, and different paths to heaven.
