Again, she will be instructing is kids. Would you want a young woman not able or interested yet in sound theology, but convinced of charismatic practice teaching your children?
- they won't be getting married nor have children at age 17 though. They'res years yet to develope sound theology if he continues.
How do you know what they will do, what will happen??
But if they do not have this then they must be able to discern sound theology or wait until they are old enough to have an interest and ability.
- So every christian must come to the conclusion of reformed faith before they are theologically sound then? I think it's quite boastful if we float around thinking were the hieght of theological correctness. What if she reads the bible and comes to the conclusion of arminianism. Is she undecerning and not acceptable as a wife?
If her parents were sound in theology, or in the same denomination or church and both parents agreed the relationship would be good, then the children could court based on their parent's oversight and protection. - Denominations...yeah...for practical purposes it would be good but the church of Jesus Christ is one church therefore if they from 2 different denominations but love Jesus and are born again are you saying they're not capable of oversight in their relationship? Again I find it quite prideful.
I'm not saying they shouldnt have knowledge of their bible and lets say whats contained within the apostles creed and what faith is, and who Jesus is and lets say they accept the trinity. However calling people undecerning and unacceptable because they aren't interested in predestination, election and the doctrines of grace like we are is pride.
Its not pride. Its not about who is right. Its about would you marry a person and let them train your children with those views?
If you would then fine. I suggest you not. Therefore I suggest you not be seeking a wife in one who you can not share these things with and let her know they will be required for the relationship to end in marriage. It would be unkind to her to lead her on thinking there was hope when there isn't.
I see no need for them to be dating, unless they are considering the other as a potential mate.
Those who say it is fine for them to play together alone may not see this as urgent.
There are 17 year olds who marry.
There are 17 year olds unmarried who get pregnant, though they profess to be Christians.
Then what? You marry a woman who is Charismatic.
