Governor Sarah Palin's church and a list of sermons she may have heard

http://wasillabible.org/sermons.htm ^ | Wasilla Bible Church

[knightforhire]

As Obama's church affiliation was attacked fully expect Sarah's affiliation to come under scrutiny - I don't know how many if any of these sermons she heard but she did belong to this church for some years.

[DarthVader]

Looks to be a good, wholesome Christian Church that preaches the truth as opposed to the heretical racist garbage Obama exposed himself to.

[Gamecock]

I read elsewhere today she is a Catholic.

Anyone?

[Campion]

She’s more Catholic than Biden is. [rimshot]

[Domandred]

The Messiah Must Suffer Many Things

Obama zombies won't like that one a bit! :)

Yes I am being irreverent

[big'ol_freeper]

She’s an Evangelical.

[Domandred]

Not Catholic. CNN reporter got it wrong. Protestant but not sure which denomination.

[kittymyrib]

Someone reported that she was Lutheran.

[jabchae]

nndb says Salvation Army (at some point); I read another source today that said Assemblies of God

[Coldwater Creek]

Assemblies of God!

[Gamecock]

hehehehe

[VeniVidiVici]

What? You mean nothing that says if God ain’t White, He ain’t right? That if God is not White that he can’t be our God and that he must help strike down the Black race? You mean no White Theology Movement?

[gbunch]

A lifelong friend of mine has a younger brother who’s an assistant pastor at the Wasilla Assembly of God church. Sarah Palin is (or at least was) a member of the congregation there.

My friend, a staunch hardcore conservative, is thrilled with the choice of Sarah as VP.

[narses]

Assembly of God is what I heard.

[WalterSkinner]

..by their statement of faith, it looks like they are a very sound non-denominational church—and no Liberation Theology LOL!

[Lee N. Field]

Their FAQ page says "non-denominational".

"What is the history of Wasilla Bible Church? During the fall of 1976 a number of families at Lazy Mountain Bible Church felt the need for a non-denominational church in the growing Big Lake/Wasilla area. .....

Don't see anything about particular denominational affiliation.

[Inyo-Mono]

Let’s see, would I rather hear a sermon entitled “God D#@m America” or “Who Can Separate Us From the Love of God?” No brainer here.

[Loud Mime]

This is a great idea!

[WalterSkinner]

"In his conversation with Gov. Palin and her husband, Todd, [Rev. Rob Schenck] asked about their church life. They told him they were active members of an independent Bible church.

LINK

[tiki]

Oh that would hurt wouldn’t it? She is Evangelical.

[AngrySpud]

This 53-y.o. retired Sailor burst out in joyous hollers when he heard Palin had been selected ... my eyes even teared up.

Now to hear that Palin may have attended an A of G church ... I’m bawling with joy! That’s been my denomination for all my adult life. Hoping for definitive confirmation.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I read she's Assemblies of God though her present church does not list a denomination.

I read the Wikipedia entry on Assemblies of God and scanned their 16 fundamental docrinal points. They look like solid standard Christians to me.

Very frankly, Joe Biden claims to recognize the divinity of what appears to be a small round piece of flatbread, but fails to recognize the humanity of what appears to be a small baby. How does that verse from John go? About somebody who claims to love God Whom he cannot see, but hates his brother whom he can see?

If the flaming bolts of God's judgment were crashing down all around the place, I would far rather be standing next to Sarah Palin than Joe Biden.

This-here Catholic is so excited about Palin I can't stop smiling and breaking into the occasional jig. McCain did the right thing. My heart feels good.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Thank you! Formatting IS our friend. :)

[AngrySpud]

” ... solid standard Christians ... “

YES, they are! Gimme that Old Time Religion and stand on Christ The Solid Rock!

[AngrySpud]

YES, they are! Gimme that Old Time Religion and stand on Christ The Solid Rock!

[Mrs. Don-o]

Got that right!

[TheBattman]

Not exactly Baptist - but still quite good!!!:

Statement of Faith

1. We believe in the Bible as the only inspired inerrant Word of God authoritative for faith and practice.
2 Tim 3:16,17; Heb 6:12; 2 Pet 1:19,20

2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; Who is the creator and sustainer of all things and worthy of our worship and praise.
Mt 28:19; Gen 1:1,2; Jn 1:1-3; Col 1:15-17; Heb 1:1-3

3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death for our sins by His shed blood on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal visible return in power and glory.
Jn 1:1-18; Lk 1:26-35; Rom 3:24,25; 1 Pet 2:24; Jn 11:1-45; 14:1-3; Acts 1:11; Heb 6:14,15; 7:26; 9:11-14; Rev 19:11-16

4. We believe that based upon Christ’s death for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We believe that all people are lost and without God in their natural state; but by the grace of God those who exercise genuine faith in the Lord Jesus Christ are saved - justified, baptized into his death and born again, from above, by the Holy Spirit.
Jn 1:12,13; 3:1-21; Rom 3:23,24; Eph 2:8,9; 1 Pet 1:23

5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit. By His indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life, and is spiritually gifted for ministry to others.
Acts 2:1-4; 17-21 (cf.Joel 2:28-30); 1 Cor 6:19,20;12:7

6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life to be forever with God, and they that remain lost unto the resurrection of judgment and damnation.
Mt 25:31-46; 1 Thess 4:13-18; 2 Thess 1:4-10; Rev 20:11-15; Jn 3:17-19

7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, having been baptized into one body by the Holy Spirit. We believe in the responsibility of all believers to love and minister to one another.
1 Cor 12:13; Jn 13:1-17; 17:20-26; Eph 1:13-18; 1 Jn 4:7-11,20-21

8. We believe in our responsibility to be disciples of Christ, to love all people and to fulfill the Commission of Christ to go and make disciples of all nations by bearing witness of Christ through life and word in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Lk 9:23-26; Mt 22:36-40; 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Rom 1:16

[xJones]

Don’t worry, she probably has a Calvinist hidden somewhere in her woodpile.

[mad_as_he$$]

Lutherans in Alsaka? I am shocked!!! /s

[eggman]

Personally, I don't care what denomination she belongs to. Her faith is more in line with the rest of this country than Obama's could ever be. Her faith is so strong that she brought her youngest into this world despite knowing he had Down syndrome. Her love of this country is so strong that she supports her oldest son's decision to join the Army.

I think she can take whatever the hate filled left can dish out and still come out strong.

[Cvengr]

Outstanding Bible study church.

I just read the Aug 17, 2008 sermon transcript which had an outstanding witness from a member of Jews for Jesus reporting on their trips to Jerusalem and blessings for many Jews living there.

Outstanding.

God blesses those who bless Israel. He will return when they declare “blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”.

[HighlyOpinionated]

I raised my kids Assemblies of God as I could not find a good church with a strong male leadership for boys and Royal Rangers made my son the man he is today. My daughter didn't fit the "Missionette" persona, but she turned out okay after a few wild years.

Solid teaching and preaching from the Bible, good children's programs, lots of fellowship, outreach to others. Anyone like Jeremiah Wright show up and he'd be called to the altar, have hands laid on him, everyone would pray and by the time the man stood up, he would have repented of all his sins and would have become a true Christian.

[livius]

Great post! Those titles tell you all you need to know about what shapes her mind. Hint: not hatred.

[mware]

In moral teaching she is closer than her counterpart in the democratic party Joe, "straggle you with my rosary beads" Biden

In truth, she is of one of the protestant faiths.

[PAR35]

Around here, ‘Bible Church’ means dispy; but to be fair, I didn’t spot any dispensationalist distinctives in their statement of faith.

[Mogollon]

I read elsewhere today she is a Catholic.

Anyone?

She's protestant.

[allmendream]

Gal3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free person, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus

[Tax-chick]

Seems like a perfectly nice church, with a good array of solid Biblical topics.

[reagandemocrat]

Good one.

I’m very happy that she takes her faith seriously, and abides by it.

Biden, on the other hand, needs a good Pelosing by a conservative bishop.

[Lee N. Field]

Around here, ‘Bible Church’ means dispy;

Unemphasized dispy with rare fits of millenarian frenzy is the evangelical default, and "bible church" is as generic evangelical as it gets. That should placate the dispensationalist voter. (I hear complaints that George Dubya has surrounded himself with "replacement theologians". I am not kidding.)

Nothing really jumps out at me from their website as a cause for concern, except possibly not mentioning denominational affiliation (if they have one).

[LiteKeeper]

read later

[Lawgvr1955]

She’s more Catholic than Biden is. [rimshot]

LOL. Good one. And as a Catholic it pains me to admit that it is true.

Kennedy, Pelosi, Biden, Durbin, etc. are CINOs in my humble opinion.

[Marysecretary]

Yes, it does, doesn’t it?

[Marysecretary]

Yes, it does, doesn’t it? AK has some good churches.

[Marysecretary]

Mine, too, Mrs. Don-o. I can’t help but wonder if God hasn’t chosen her for a time like this.

[Marysecretary]

Sounds good to me.

[Marysecretary]

Yes He does. He will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse her. All christians should take that seriously.

[AppyPappy]

“Assemblies of God!”

Just like Jim Bakker

[wmfights]

This-here Catholic is so excited about Palin I can't stop smiling and breaking into the occasional jig. McCain did the right thing. My heart feels good.

Good for you.

She clearly lives her faith. Just as with Roberts and Alito it isn't which church they are a member of as much as does their walk reveal their faith.

What a great pick for VP!
