My life must be Christ's broken bread,
My love his outpoured wine,
A cup overfilled a table spread,
Beneath his name and sign,
That other souls, refreshed and fed,
May share his life through mine.
- Albert Osborn
I like The Salvationist view on sacrament that the communion has more to do with living than with actual bread and wine. I saw something interesting the other day as I was reading the Lords supper in Mark. Jesus speaks about how the wine and bread are His blood and body, at the same time Jesus said that the one who would betray him was the one who dipped his piece of bread in the bowl at the same time as Jesus...
Is it fair to say that we need to take on the bread and wine and not just dip into it? If we simply dip into the blood and sacrifice of Jesus how sure is our Salvation? What sort of life are we living? Judas could only dip in and he ended up betraying Jesus. So heres a warning, (whether my exegesis is any good or not) go the whole way with God or you risk living on a tight rope, about to fall off at any moment, or your a shopping trolley at the top of the hill, at any time the possibility of slipping down the slippery slope to hell.

Anon keeps his record with warning us against false prophets. Im glad there are some people out there who like to warn. I think we need to look at the fruit of whats happening though... This taken from Patricia King discussing whether Lakeland is a revival or not...
"Just in case you do like a bit of analysis, lets take out our measuring stick and measure what is going on in Lakeland:
- The Lord is being praised and worshipped.
- The Word is preached.
- The Gifts of the Spirit are flowing.
- Miracles and healings are manifesting.
- The Supernatural (angelic visitation, presence of Jesus, fragrances, glory presence) is being experienced.
- Many souls are being saved (both in the meeting and on the streets).
- Deliverances.
- Conviction and repentance.
- The dead are raised.
- Lots of refreshment and joy.
- Spreading worldwide like an unstoppable fire.
- Major generosity. "
I'm going to judge by the fruit.

Could you please provide the evidence of healings (proper medical reports, not a video of unqualified guys holding up xray) and of the dead being raised. Thanks. Also, I'm still waiting for a reply to my emails.
1) go to lakeland and see for yourself. i dont know why you dont believe good solid christians testimony. so go to lakeland and check it out.
2) I've only got one email from you which i replied and never got an answer back... please let me know if you got the first one i sent or not, if not i will resend it. and if you did get it and replied please resend that one because i didn't get it...
3) why do u always remain anonymous? it gives your position no credit. I'm curious why you need to hide who you are.
I've sent them again to reelbigjimmy@hotmail.com
