Online fellowship group - interested?

E
ESchaible Sep 27, 2023

With the online churches popping up throughout the world, most of which end up leading many astray, I was curious what sort of interest there would be for an online fellowship type group focused on New testament, apostolic style meetings (ordered by the Holy Spirit - tongues with interpretation, prophecies, etc.) With times of testimony, sharing, exhortation and if someone has a word than a preached word with prayer.

I am not sure exactly how I feel or would fit in, but I haven't been able to shake the idea even though I am naturally disinclined to this type of thing. It would give more intimacy of fellowship and sense of community and fellowship than a message board, and would be a able to be more easily ordered of the Holy Spirit.

I do have the technical knowledge to facilitate most things, but like I said, my natural aversion leaves me to happily just throw this idea out there and never think about it again if there is no interest.

I have felt directly led to post and interact here again for some reason, and I have just kind of obeyed without knowing why or where I was going.

With that said, would anyone be interested in this, and would anyone you know be interested? I do believe the Lord can use the internet in powerful ways, I just don't think we have seen much other than abuse lately in this context.

I would be interested. Rarely In many years of being a born again, spirit filled believer in America has there been any opportunity to use the gifts, encourage and exhort and hear personal testimonies and bring songs snd hymns and spiritual songs while hearing the public reading of the Word and hearing prophecies and tongues and interpretations in a large gathering of people. Too many want controlled meetings, praise and worship leaders and bands, organized cell groups and the division of the family into age group related activities. Frankly, I’m weary snd worn out by such "churches”.
Would it work as you suggest, I don’t know. I appreciate your willingness to suggest out.
An isolated believer.

If there is more than just a couple of us, we can seek the Lord for guidance in how to proceed.


Dolfan,
I'll pass on the end time church site, I was inundated with donation requests, notifications about who is donating and how much, all the different ways to donate... just money and more of the same. That site is ironically exactly what I was talking about in my initial post, just the charismatic religious extension of the world system.

We are in the final stretch of history, and it becomes more and more apparent to me every day that we are in the midst of the greatest deception and apostasy possibly in human history.

Your heart, idea and format are encouraging and frankly right and will be fruitful. I would join if possible but can’t. Hoping it goes well. Being the church as an example is far better than telling the church how to be although, for those called to it, teaching the church how to be Biblically is God ordained.

Online fellowship may be good, and was used much during the lock downs, in which I did not participate in, and never will. By the way, I believe another one is coming. There are many good prayer groups online that I have been involved in, but it does not take the place of corporate gatherings of the Body of Christ.

There is no substitute for believers gathering together for prayer, praise, worship, and fellowship. In small home gatherings where the Holy Spirit is leading the meeting, the gifts of the Spirit ca be in full operation.

"And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” (Hebrews 10:25)

AbideInHim,

So you aren't interested.

No one wants to replace anything, that was never mentioned or implied. This isn't a theology thread, merely a place for those who are interested to show their interest. Thank you for your input though, and the scripture.

This discussion is locked.
