    Looking for Fellowship with Brothers and Sisters in the Lord!

    Perhaps no more "being walked over". Perhaps this is a place that the seed He placed in you can bear fruit. And you can grow and blossom and share all that has been given to you. He is in you, I know this. Sorry dear sister. Sorry that I didn't stand with you. I think that brothers and...

    Is it Ok to ask questions here?

    Hi, I thank all of you for your replies. You took time to reply to my question and I greatly appreciate your gestrues. As of this time in my walk with the Lord, this is where I am at. I am grateful to experience the "fellowship" of all of you on this post. In my mind, this gives me hope. Now I...

    not sure what to think about praying in tongues

    Hi, speaking in tongues is a still a mystery to me. I have some ideas about it, but here I will just offer you my latest experience. I began speaking in tongues about 3 years ago, but in the last year came to a point of thinking that this speaking isn't doing any good. Perhaps the good that it...

    Introducing myself…

    Hi Gentleman Atheist, at least you are a Gentleman. I wasn't when I am where you are now. Are you enjoying arguing with the Christians and pointing out their stupidity? I did. A friend sent some Mormon Missionaries to my house, they were only 18 or 19. You see Mormons send their youth on...

    Now something here that those who die lost without a Savior and are condememd to hell will find. Hell is a total absence of God, even today the vilest sinner experiences God, but only from a one way experience. Only from God toward him. And this is in the form of God' Word. Even a total lost...

    Is it Ok to ask questions here?

    Amazing, at least if I understand your statement correctly, then I can say Amazing. Yes, I totally agree that the problem lies in the "words" being used. To one side, it is "working out your Salvation" to the other side it is "Sanctification" Yes the root of it all. May I speak candidly here...

    Is it Ok to ask questions here?

    I work the night shift and just came home and started reading here, so I don't know what awaits me down the list. But perhaps you are a better explainer than you give yourself credit for. The Elder you spoke of is a very wise man and I am very grateful for your statement. Your statement is the...

    Is it Ok to ask questions here?

    Thanks, the once saved always saved doctrine is something that as of right now I beleive in. However I will admit that there are verses in the Bible that I can't reconcile with this. The verses in Revelations about Christians who overcome are the most difficult. The most I can lean on is where...

    Is it Ok to ask questions here?

    Thank you dear sister, your words ring very true to me. My path to Him has not been one that I would wish upon anyone. I have suffered a great deal, but I can't help thinking that this was His Will all along. The Lord said Paul would suffer for His Name. And I so agree that the Chruch offers a...

    Is it Ok to ask questions here?

    I totally agree, 1Ti 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. So why the division? Why do the Baptist, Pentecostals, Methodists, Mormons, say they are the only Church? And why do the Catholics...

    Is it Ok to ask questions here?

    Hi, thank you very much for the video. It seems to me that this is very similar to what Pentecostals teach. That we are given a certain amount of Grace and "work" out our Salvation through our choices. Choices being our "works". I will not give my personal opinion on this right now, I think I...

    First confession tomorrow. Help please?

    Michael, I would be very happy to discuss your question with you, but not here. My comments have already "Hi-jacked" this post enough. Send me an e-mail or something if you really want the answer. To the orginal blogger, by this time your Confession must have happened. I pray that you...

    Is it Ok to ask questions here?

    Hi guys, I hope I am not breaking the rules here. I am just trying to learn and not argue. Here is my question. What is the doctrine of Salvation in Eastern Orthodox? And I very much welcome personal experiences and I am willling to share my personal experience if asked. Now just to let you...

    First confession tomorrow. Help please?

    Thank you, I was just trying to tell the poster to let the Lord search his heart. Confession is a very "deep" time. A time of opening your heart totally to the Lord. It is a shame that Protestants don't have a similar activity. Protestants make the claim that they only have to confess to Jesus...

    First confession tomorrow. Help please?

    Thank you for your understanding and I greatly appreciate your comments. Perhaps my greatest wrong in my posts were out of this view. Are you guys Christian? I am Christian. Therefore we are brothers and sisters. Are we not brothers and sisters because I happened to grow up and experience...

    First confession tomorrow. Help please?

    Hi again, I reread my prior post and I make a typo error. I was saved WITHOUT prior knowledge from man who God is. The Lord does work in strange ways. Another note, don't dread your Confession. Look forward to it as a time that is spent in the Presence of God. Imagine this, what if Jesus...

    First confession tomorrow. Help please?

    Hi, I hope you don't mind an opinion from someone who would not be considered to be Catholic or Orthodox or even Protestant. I live in an area where being Protestant is the norm and therefore that is what I deal with. However, I am one of those people who were saved with prior knowledge from...

    Obedience to God's Law defined His true people in the OT & NT.

    Guys, this is how all this is reconciled. 1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. And how does this "washing" happened? In the name of Jesus Christ and by the Spirit. Jn...

    Obedience to God's Law defined His true people in the OT & NT.

    Hi, very interesting post. I didn't read the comments, I just base my comment on the orginal post. Now you say that all the people in the Old Testament and the New Testament were people who obeyed God's Law? That is kinda odd. Jesus is the only One I can think of that obeyed God's Law. Let's...

    Why do we make

    Hi, may I offer you my experiences. For most of my life I suffered from what the world calls depression. I was on medication at different times. But then I was saved when I was 35 and things changed. Now when I say things changed, I am not saying that I am joyful and happy all the time. A true...
