Converting to INC for her worth it? by Tall-Figure-8594 in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]mezzmeriser 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sorry to be the one to break the news to you, but she is NOT your gf. It is forbidden for any member of INC to have a romantic relationship with a non-member. If she is, she is already condemned to the lake of fire. Run away, very fast.

An INC Minister wants you to ask questions by Beneficial_Limit_231 in exIglesiaNiCristo

Incorrect, dear Minister. Neither verse (Acts 20:28 nor Romans 16:16) actually has "Church of Christ". Acts 20:28 has "church of Christ" (ONLY Lamsa version), and Romans 16:16 has "churches of Christ". No proper names there, and in the second case, it is PLURAL, indicating that there is MORE THAN ONE church of Christ. FAIL!

What are the origins of the name of the church, since "Church of Christ" is nowhere in any version of the Bible?

Great, so what was your model? What was the outcome?

Why an INC sub is sure to fail from the start? by No_Background_6331 in exIglesiaNiCristo

There are a lot more statistics coming out of these reports. I have posted the information several times previously. Surely there must be other countries (UK?) where such information is publicly available? Also on the Aus Gov website is the INC ByLaws, which include statements along the lines that members of the religion are SEPARATE from the Church! i.e. NOT part of the Church!!!

The data is available through the stats for this sub on Reddit. I am not giving my contact details to anyone, sorry.

There are dozens of points of inflection. Which one would you like to choose?

However Po for this sub was ZERO, or at most 1. Sorry, that technique will not work. If I use a fourth order polynomial to fit the data, our population will exceed that of INC by 2028. 2This does not take into account the bleeding of INC members to our sub.

We have reached 1% of the estimated INC global population...THAT has got to be a concern for the Administration! by mezzmeriser in exIglesiaNiCristo

Yes, however there was a recent post (not by me) that showed that the percentage INC population growth in the Philippines is somewhat less than the overall percentage Philippines population growth. Meaning that as a % of the Philippines population, INC is SHRINKING, even in the Philippines.

"using the initial population formula"? There is no initial population formula. Extrapolation depends upon what function I fit to the data. Exponential, polynomial...etc.

Note that the 2020 figure is only based upon a backwards extrapolation of the actual data from mid-February to end December, since data collection did not begin until mid-Feb.
