Not to be confused with Boy George. Bob Hill or George? I think he means George (I never heard of him until sozo).

Sozo said:His book Classic Christianity, (with a Forward endorsement from Bill Bright), is published in 20 different languages, and is one of the best slling Christian books of all time. He also has a nationally syndicated call in show on over 50 radio stations, and on the internet.
godrulz said:Sounds worth reading, but like "The Plot", it probably does not stand up to close scrutiny in all areas. No one book, except the Bible, returns us to pure, biblical Christianity. George's subjective ideas are not divine revelation any more than Finney was an infallible prophet.
Sozo said:godrulz, as usual, you don't have a clue what you are talking about.
The only thing I truly gained from reading his book was the "revelation" to stop reading other people's books and to turn all of my attention to prayer and bible study.
godrulz said:How superspiritual. Along the way, you just happened to adopt many of his ideas and leave behind those of other great men of God?
Sozo said:Perhaps you forgot my quote, that use to be my signature.
"There are no great men of God, there is only a great God of men".
What are they?lightninboy said:I think that rewards are a major incentive for service to God.
lightninboy said:That's what the Grace Evangelical Society (faithalone.org) teaches.

lightninboy said:Read the many GES articles.
Post what you conclude if you want to discuss rewards.
No problem. I read the articles, and they were filled with nonsense.lightninboy said:Forget it, then.
lightninboy said:Sozo, I meant no harm.
If you don't believe in rewards, what about these?
Mark 9:41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
Matthew 10:42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
1 John does not teach that Christians sin. In fact, it says exactly the opposite.lightninboy said:You make a big deal out of that a Christian can't sin.
And maybe you should think that way when you are reading 1 John.
But of course a Christian can sin.
And how!
Can't one in Christ receive rewards prepared for him?Sozo said:The only reward is Christ, and in Him everyone has all things that God has prepared for them.
