> Introductions, Announcements, and More of Ray's Teachings

Anyone in Colorado (or visiting CO) who'd like to get together for coffee?

Apollos:
Thanks, you all, for replying to my note. On some level it is nice to know that there are others who share our beliefs, even if the chance of meeting face-to-face seems remote.

Which gave me the idea of using Skype to connect --- which greatly opens up the possibilities .... perhaps of even doing more, such as praying in real-time for one another, joining our voices and instruments together in musical worship, having an on-line Bible study that jives with Ray's teachings, and so forth .... 

I have taught several Bible studies, and miss doing so. I've also created a slightly amplified version of Ray's "7 Foundational Truths" that I call "The Ten Foundational Truths" and which is is in alignment with Ray's ... Mine just includes many more Scriptures that support each of Ray's noted "truths" and includes three other foundational truths that Ray refers to but doesn't explicitly include in his 7 Found'l Truths. I'm happy to share them with anyone who is interested.

Hi Jeff, that sounds like a nice idea.

My 'advice' still stands, however, for whatever it's worth.  I really recommend you 'fellowship' here on the forum for a while before undertaking something like that.  It's incorrect to say that 'we' are of the same mind.  The minimum you can reasonably expect is that we all agreed to the rules before we joined up.   :D  I still 'fellowship' with Ray, even though he is dead.

I don't mean to discourage you (or scare you), but I'm just sharing the realities of a web-forum.

Ran across this verse just this evening.

2Co 12:20 For I fear, lest somehow, on coming, I may not be finding you such as I want, and I may be found by you such as you do not want; lest somehow there be strife, jealousy, fury, factions, vilifications, whisperings, puffing up, turbulences.

That's pretty strong, coming from Paul who LOVED to visit.   :D

Wow! I love that verse Dave, powerful stuff

Cincinnati here.....I remember feeling and thinking similar when I first found Rays papers and ideas as well as this website. I instantly wanted fellowship! I like what Dave said.....he still fellowships with Ray.....meaning reading and following his work, and the fellowship that goes on here with each other.

I am a bit of a type of person that seeks as any other human would some social stimulation from time to time. Though I can count on one hand the friends in my life....though I used to have many acquaintances and other coworkers.....at times I feel as if I am the Apostle John stranded on the isle of Patmos! Lol However, most of my interactions are by choice. I simply choose not to mingle around as much as I once did....although if asked I almost always help or go and interact.

Mostly I fellowship with people I once went to church with, whom no longer also attended but nevertheless do not seem like minded with me....there is my chance for persecution lol. I can not shut up about what is inside me and often times as the word says....out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. I am convinced that most of this 'foolish' preaching is for myself and perhaps some for those who hear me. The Samarian that was told that 'I tell you the truth a time is coming and has already come that you will neither worship or fellowship for that matter on this hill or in this or that temple....or this city or that building.....but in Spirit as our Father seeks true worshipers in our spirit' must also hold true for our fellowship.

I feel privileged to know you all here.....and still fellowship with believers even if my physical life is not surrounded by a 'church'. I am sure not in a hurry to go find rules or be entangled again into the web of the 'woman'....when after all we have been called out of her all over the world as prove by this humble forum.

loretta:
Spiritual coffee huh!  :)

Definitely true. Gotta be true.

Finally, the purpose of fellowship it to build each other up into the spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
