Australian Anglican Church splits after 'going too far to the Left'

[@duaneadams5210]

I once was familiar with a Missouri Synod Lutheran Church. About half of the people got tired of the traditional teachings and forced the rest of the church to change to a more liberal synod. The conservative half left. About two years later, the liberal half that stayed, wanted more liberal changes. About half of those people left, and for the liberals who stayed, they wanted still more liberal changes. More people left. Soon there was no one left to keep the lights on. The church "woke" itself into closing. I saw this very same thing happen in a Presbyterian church too.

[@eb2505]

God is in the business of closing down churches too - when they no longer reflect the purity of his word, not just starting them. A good reference to this are the letters in Revelation to the major churches at the time , particularly where he says to one that he will take out the candle stick. After that , if the church survives in any form, it is no longer representational of the Christian faith.

Which baptism is a part of the salvation process, based on what the Bible says? What did Peter say below? Acts 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. Acts 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Act 11:17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God? Based on Luke 3:16, and John 1:33, and Acts 11:15-16, the most important thing about the word "baptize" in the New Testament has nothing to do with water. The Holy Spirit is the master teacher promised to New Covenant believers in Jeremiah 31:34, and John 14:26, and is found fulfilled in Ephesians 1:13, and 1 John 2:27. Unfortunately, many modern Christians see water when they read the word "baptize" in the text. Based on the above, what is the one baptism of our faith found in the passage below? How many times is the word "Spirit" found in the passage, and how many times is the word "water" found in the passage? Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, “baptize” KJV Mat_3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Mar_1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. Luk_3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: Joh_1:26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; Joh_1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

Actually, this has occurred in congregations across the religious spectrum of the institutional assemblies. I know of several that used to be what were called 'evangelical' but they have found their way into abomination as well. The church in the end days will be religious expression rather than a redemption message. Jesus wondered when He returned, would He even find faith amongst what we call the church.

[@rickroberts9182]

I left the Anglican church years ago because they started "Blessing" same sex unions and promising to honour same sex marriage and even participated in several in my Parish. Our female vicar presided over a same sex marriage and I told her I could no longer respect her Biblical teaching or preaching. I also have a dim view of a female being a "priest". It is not Biblical. I packed up my music gear and handed in my resignation and went to another church that respects and follows The Bible, not the woke mob.

Wangaratta Anglican church has 2 'married' men as priests. There was an article in the local paper about how tolerant and accepting that union is. Pffft!

[@richlopez5896]

Can women be ordained to the priesthood? This is a question that provokes much debate in our modern world, but it is one to which the Church has always answered “No.” The basis for the Church’s teaching on ordination is found in the New Testament as well as in the writings of the Church Fathers. While women could publicly pray and prophesy in church (1 Cor. 11:1-16), they could not teach or have authority over a man (1 Tim. 2:11-14), since these were two essential functions of the clergy. Nor could women publicly question or challenge the teaching of the clergy (1 Cor. 14:34-38).

[@rickroberts9182]

@@richlopez5896 I agree. Our presiding priest was a man but had a newly ordained female priest as a resident. We also had a female Bishop who was responsible for pushing lgbtq acceptance at the synod meeting. She gave a highly passionate and emotional speech which used all the societal buzz words but no Biblical foundation. At that point, I was halfway out the door.

As someone who has done work for churches and witnessed the behind the scenes workings, I have come to the conclusion that most of today's churches are nothing more than a business exploiting the faith of its congregation. One should not confuse the church with faith in God. That's not to say that one shouldn't attend a church. But one should be highly cautious of a church that is becoming political.

The best way to get out of poverty in this life, is to gain the wisdom and help that God Himself gives to people who accept Christ and his word. Biblical commands and precepts save people from much folly in life, which will keep people from poverty, if they are followed. Most people go to churches for hand outs, but have no interest in being a part of the household of God and obeying Him.

The difference between a football playbook and the bible is authority outside of the playbook. In the Protestant doctrine of bible-alone authority, there are no umpires or referees to decide who’s right or wrong. But the true Church that our Lord built has the umpire authority and the playbook. The playbook is the bible or Sacred Scripture and the Catechism. The umpire is the Church Magisterium, her teaching authority. The Protestant view is not practical. Why? Can the bible say who’s right? Is it the progressive or the conservative Anglicans. But the Holy Catholic Church can. It claims authority to interpret and teach the gospel that no Protestants dare to claim.

The concept of hospitality and the sacrosanctity of the guest-host relationship, known as ξενία _(xenía)_ among the Greeks, is ubiquitous in the ancient world, and its plainly apparent on reading the story of Sodom through a Classical lense that it's this lack of respect for divinely ordained hospitality that provoked God's cataclysmic wrath against the city.

Anyway, everybody know that the Anglican Church is not the God's Church founded by Pedro... Chesterton anglican or Newman protestant, they wrote a lot about this and finally both confirmed, that the Pedro's Church is the catholic.

Good luck to Conservative Anglicans.. from a Conservative RC. Don't worry, under Mad Frankie aka pope Frankie... we RCs are going down a similar road. 🙏✝️

Thanks for your honesty about RC. Did you know that, about three years ago Mary ( the RC version of her) was ( artificially) elevated ABOVE God ; God HAS to obey her. According to them, God is no longer God almighty ; 'Mary' is supreme ruler. Massive blasphemy. Read about it yourself and be SHOCKED,. Shalom Pep.

@@geraldhagen2989 Well, it's the truth that sets you free 👍

In the US, we call it the Episcopal church. There used to be high church, and low church. As you can guess high church wasmuch more observant. Low church was very relaxed, rather more a social group. Well,the decision was made to smash them together, and congregations started splitting off. Oh, well.

The established Anglican church is Apostate. It has failed to follow the clear teachings of the Bible and Jesus Christ. It does not follow the Great Commission of Jesus to take the Gospel of Jesus into the world and make disciples of all people. Its leaders, Archbishop and many bishops have capitulated to the secular influences of the world and not stood firm on the Word of God. May God bless those who have decided enough is enough and are now leading a departure from the established church and its weak-kneed , disgraceful clergy.

If you are a believer, God’s will is not negotiable.
