    About this ebook

    Being Spiritual vs Being Christian explores why a believer in the New Testament looks so different from believers today. This series cuts through the confusion and answers the question of why some Christians say they are believers but continue in their sin, what is the difference between a believer and a disciple, and to whom did Jesus say, “Depart from me, I never knew you”?

    John C. Fenn

    John and Barbara Fenn were born in Kokomo, Indiana and grew up just a few miles from each other. They attended the same kindergarten, went to many of the same neighborhood birthday parties growing up, and had mutual friends. Barb even attended John's confirmation in the Episcopal Church when they were twelve years old. They began dating as teenagers and were born again together and baptized with the Holy Spirit at age sixteen. Each attended Indiana University after graduating high school and were then married in 1978. In early 2002 John and Barb founded the Church Without Walls International of Tulsa (CWOWI), a house church network, emphasizing relationship-based Christianity. The seeds of CWOWI were planted in 1992 during a time of prayer. The Lord Jesus appeared to John in a visitation and shared some of what He would be doing in the future. Part of the Lord's plan was an exodus from many of the "para-church" organizations that were raised up after the Charismatic renewal of the 1960s and 70s. This would produce a movement of more "para-church" organizations, home prayer meetings, and also home-based churches. On November 4, 2001, during an evening church meeting in Edmonton, Alberta, Jesus appeared again to John. As both John and the host pastor fell to their knees, Jesus laid hands on John and told him to start a home church network "based on my Word and the things you've learned through the people I've brought across your path this year." The Lord said He wanted it to be called The Church Without Walls International. The next month, CWOWI began meeting in the Fenn home, and is growing and gaining affiliate house churches as relationships develop. Known for teaching with anointing and by revelation and flowing with the gifts of the spirit, his heart's desire is to make known the ways of the Father God. Church Without Walls International (CWOWI) is dedicated to making disciples of Jesus Christ through the establishment of a network of related house churches around the world.

      Being Spiritual vs Being Christian

      Part 1

      Hi all,

      Barb and I have wildly differing practices concerning bars of soap. Barb uses soap until it is the size of a coin. Often several of these tiny fragments will congregate around sinks and showers like a herd of animals at a watering hole. One may have been a deodorant bar, another a moisturizing bar, and still another a no-perfume bar. But they all end up the size of a coin and gathered together at faucets just waiting for someone to have mercy on them and end their lives by tossing them in the trash.

      That person would be me. About the time a bar of soap is small enough I keep dropping it or it breaks apart, I pull the shower curtain aside and underhand toss it in a long sweeping arc into the wastebasket sitting next to the toilet. Have a nice flight, you’re history, little bar of soap, you gave it all, but now you are done!

      Soap Christians, what fragrance are they?

      Years ago it was easy to know who was a Christian or not. Back in the charismatic renewal days of the 1960s and 70s, the Christians were the ones going to the home prayer meetings, Bible studies, got excited that Charles and Francis Hunter were coming to town for healing meetings, frequented Christian bookstores, and listened to this new Christian ‘rock’ or young women singers with names like ‘Honeytree’ and
