Finding a church
Do they preach and teach the word? That's what's
important.
You could be stuck on one doctrine (like
many TOL members) or you could pray for your
pastor. That's what he needs. I don't agree with my pastor on all things.
"One man asked the pastor, 'How many active members do
you have in your church?'
He said, 'They're all active. Half are building us up
and the other half are tearing us down.'" ~ Adrian Rogers
"...I've been attending a "non-denominational" church (it's in quotes because they say they're non-denominational but their services hover between Pentecostal and Baptist...)]."
Pentecostals don't know their bible and Baptists
don't have the spirit.
"It's easier to cool down a zealot than it is to warm
up a corpse." ~ Adrian Rogers
...Even after I pointed out the words of Jesus about giving a certificate of divorce for fornication he still refused to budge. I talked to most of the church members who told me, in low voices, that there are some cases where divorce should be allowed. The problem is they come out of a background where the elder is never questioned and the people who do question the elders are almost shamed (as I was).
You're looking for a church to compromise on
so-called divorce?
Are you looking for a bar
or a church?

Divorce and Re
Permanence of Marriage Until Death Walking by the Spirit Always
Divorce occurred during the betrothal period. If he
found out, for example, that she was a dirty ho
(not pure) then he could give her a bill of so-called divorce due to bait and
switch prior to marriage. What is occurring today in Sodom aka America is not
what God intended (Jer
16:2).
