I believe now it is not right to risk one salvation. Jesus said we must worship in Spirit and truth. Though I feel offended that some judge me still others may not and may teach the truth as it seems it could be biblical. As bible says if we keep the whole law and stumble in one point we are guilty of all so we must put our trust in christ finished work to receive christ as saviour because we need to believe in His righteousness to cover us at all times and not just when we are at church so we must receive His sacrifice personally to be our righteousness for all time.

For as ours is never good enough having sin though we must obey Him to do what is possible incase one dies without opportunity to call on the Lord and since not know when one dies even if cant do work because of time must seek to do though we will never be perfect without sin for Him to be Lord. Therefore I believe all should receive christ as Lord and saviour as others have said incase and to be raptured and because it is right as should be concerned for all to know christ and leave judgement of other christians to christ.

I did before say that we should not go to church but it is not profitable that way but should support the work of churches but seek to encourage them to receive christ as Lord and saviour.

I decided I should trust God justice not to make divisions which I dont know is distracting or not that one can be orthodox to ensure child is baptised orthodox so they dont wonder and still not accept divisions afterward. I decided I would accept other christians but follow orthodox church for sake of being perfected and for fellowship.

I decided to focus on serving God that I can not risk focusing on the world but trust God to meet my needs even without seeking only if it is clear He thinks is better saying seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you. For though seeking after marriage is not a sin one should not be focused on earth but on serving christ and I want to just if God brings but others can search but must not be put before serving God that you wont because you are focusing most your attention on how to get a wife and if you have a wife is wrong to stop one from serving God and I think is better for me to remain single to focus on growing closer to God and doing His will and to show care to people single not to be troubled and focus on christ. Charles spurgeon said the below though I dont agree with some of his theology I may have got him wrong when he says we are not saved by works that he just believes none of our works are required to be saved but after saved they will follow true believer if there is time but if thinking one need not seek to do works I dont agree with him.

I decided I will seek to marry as is good thing as people do respect me less to use my situation against me to promote their ideas and judgements and it is self made that it may seem to have myself to blame to do so and is more better to do more to be fruitful that is God will to have children. I thought I should be single as was worried by some who criticise one for focusing on worldly things that I wanted to show I am doing what I can to please them to try to understand their position but now I realise is not right to condemn marrriage that I should just not let it stop me from serving God but can look for one too.

Since it seems other christians I am not sure to be charitable and because church people perhaps if I am not following that they want to see I make most commitment I decided to follow orthodox church to accept its beliefs to test it though everyone can be saved even if not baptised if they were making all effort possible to be baptised I will assume incase that is position but it may be otherwise and maybe just if they desire to join church if cant find church service near them at a certain time but if so maybe any effort or most to seek to join to go to all churches that can help and do when one allows one to that perhaps I will learn later that anyone who desires can join if no church service near by and if there is that making effort not little but not need as most as possible or that desire to join even if can make effort is enough but I am just going to test it for a while otherwise I will not accept.

I decided it is right to trust God justice since God provides no confusion and it is unjust to reject one because of a ritual who believes as that is a must because otherwise one does not acknowledge that he needs a saviour since God is holy and all sin must be punished but was punished on Jesus to take sin away and not to acknowledge that one needs His atonement to forgive his sin is a choice that one chooses which costs nothing to choose not to acknowledge his need of forgiveness so is unworthy of God forgiveness but a believer is not guilty and a just judge will judge one based on ones will to good so I will trust God.

I just thought perhaps I needed church to know the path to heaven because I thought I might need it to make me understand the word of God incase there is more to do but actually there is not that we only need the word of God that the gospel message is only to repent of sins mentioned in the bible and our responsibility is to seek to share gospel message and tell them to read bible to those who we know may be deceived by false teachings that that is our only responsibility that we must only be a profitable servant in some way according to what is possible to serve God in some way to help others so that it helps spread kingdom and to make sure we do what we can to share it but we should share to many. If anyone wants he can follow church.

I decided I should follow the below as being extreme is not right to prepare people to be ready at any time in case there is natural disaster or disaster sent by God to punish those not ready and people can be deceived by teachers to not know they can be accepted but they had responsibility to know themselves but sent to remind people of His words as true and they must be ready at all times or in risk of accident and would be hard to get to church as should give assurance but can not by saying need to seek to follow church as may be difficult to as church is confusing to people not to give assurance to people they can be saved to know if they make enough effort.

The below is

I seen people true colours outside the church never charity though there could be some that are but to me I think church should stand a better chance of being since from similar raising of closer beliefs so I am going to return to orthodox church though I am not sure they are charitable either but to follow incase and to help find a church I agree with in what is essential to help fellowship and I thought I might as well incase true but I will follow the view of st theophan the recluse that those not baptised orthodox do not have to join or rather as that does not make sense to me since then it would be better not to be baptised I will accept it is better to join to have fullness to reach perfection but you are still saved outside according to grace you have but not to be perfected but you dont need to accept the faith unless it was proven to one 100% not by seeming true arguments but without any ability to doubt but if you do to accept the faith it is sufficient to be saved without seeking to be baptised.

I believe actually that it is wrong to risk since we should know the truth that we are not saved by works because if we were to die within moments what would be the ground for one hope and what would think to be the basis of our acceptance to decide if we are accepted that is wrong to decide for ourselves our work is sufficient to think that anything short of perfection christ standard all that christ taught is acceptable for none have done all He taught to everyone who was in need and seeking to do was never said is enough to be worthy as christ compares to His standard that never said if we seek to do if we have not met His standard that we are accepted so must accept His righteousness and we should also do good according to what is possible to be saved on death that we must only seek to do what we can to be saved on death if we have also been baptised and had fellowshipped with Him to be perfected with communion. Rather we should see that any one who received the gospel from one was as though receiving christ as stranger and christ also allowed other needy people that righteous people before knowing about christ do to them and receive christ from them.

As it is written

Galatians 3:10-14
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” 12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”
13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

The only things we must do and is not considered work is to repent of sin and have relationship with christ in His word to pray always. Confessing you are christian before men is also required incase have no opportunity to call on christ as must confess christ before men as is not considered a work as though it makes you worthy as you did a good deed only because it is mentioned by paul need to confess jesus as Lord to be saved in gospel if can to be profitable servant.

Therefore we should put our trust in christ finished work and we should also do works to be saved on death walking the path to be saved going extra mile for everyone in need.

God calls to come out of churches that person should not worry to trust christ that baby is not baptised properly for many also are not that should trust God and know one will to good is enough.

You can visit churches to support them but not accept their views just accept the good for one journey to heaven.

I believe now it is wrong to support divisions and preach what I cant know though it may be true that is better not to preach anyway but lead people to follow what they think the Lord wants them to that I trust God He will not judge people if they think they must do works.I added the below to other post that it seems to support but I trust God that if you have faith no matter what denomination you follow is accepted as the law maybe was about no forgiveness if you break law for some sins and also was to show all Jews in the past why they need to trust in a saviour as moses was showing need to trust in Him as all will break some laws so need to.

Galatians 3:10-14
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” 12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”

I did do a sin of looking at porn because I was offended that people no matter how good I am they will reject me and also to show to those judgemental who are spies I suppose they have connections with google or my isp that they can not keep judging me when i sin that i expect to sin later and so I will sin now to show them it is wrong to expect perfection from me and that it is wrong to make me suffer to be rejected but now i realise I do have to be holy no matter my circumstances that I must stop for the salvation of my own soul.

I am still following the below I said for sake of being regenerated not only to live holy but in full communion with christ to be perfected. I think may happen in any church that has communion but can not know incase it happens only in orthodox church. I am choosing orthodox church however I know others may disagree believing catholic is true church which I will not argue to know but I am choosing orthodox church.

I seen people true colours outside the church never charity though there could be some that are but to me I think church should stand a better chance of being since from similar raising of closer beliefs so I am going to return to orthodox church though I am not sure they are charitable either but to follow incase and to help find a church I agree with in what is essential to help fellowship and I thought I might as well incase true but I will follow the view of st theophan the recluse that those not baptised orthodox do not have to join or rather as that does not make sense to me since then it would be better not to be baptised I will accept it is better to join to have fullness to reach perfection but you are still saved outside according to grace you have but not to be perfected but you dont need to accept the faith unless it was proven to one 100% not by seeming true arguments but without any ability to doubt but if you do to accept the faith it is sufficient to be saved without seeking to be baptised.

I believe we can not risk that we can not continue to hold to church beliefs for must proclaim the good news to all. That one can only accept church beliefs to test for all christians are accepted but afterward we must all proclaim that all christians can be saved. We are the church and are commanded to be living to proclaim the good news to all we know who needs it and need to serve God in anyway that message while we have chance to seek to serve Him in some way to be profitable servants incase we die while not seeking to not have opportunity to call on the Lord. I decided also I would test the church beliefs to accept it when I go to church but if it does not prove not accept it and continue to go to church to test yet not accept if it does not prove.

I am not the type to want to be legalistic that I do want to watch many movies even ones with romance to have sex scenes and also stories of how person fell for unlawful desire not that I delight in it but still I follow a story and I learn how the spirit of lust is evil to influence people and to see the world people to know their condition to not be naive about how they think and what they may value now to condemn it to call them to repent that can want to follow a story but skip the parts that are sin for I thought by doing so also helps prevent temptation when you know what to expect how the world is but since I am not sure it is right since can fall in sin I do want to avoid watching all movies with sex scenes that unless one can prove that falling in sin just in thought is not a risk if you are not doing it purposely to fall I never will but I was tempted to watch a movie just to seek to know how the world really is before if there is temptation plots that others seek to tempt to avoid them.

I decided it is right to trust God that I know person just needs to follow Jesus that there is no point supporting church as some people also can not be baptised so is not just and people should not follow church after trying church to be safe to trust only christ. I will just accept orthodox church to be perfected but not need to test if the extreme view is right for otherwise I dont think is true even if not all agree that you can that church may seem not to have taught that before but some in church after believed it does not apply now and it may be God knows it does not and I will follow that.

I decided it is wrong to judge that which says is true church if not 100% sure it not right as cant know it is not right and since others all reject me I dont know why that is maybe church is true so I decided to seek to be catechumen in catholic church to accept it as far as I dont know and then be baptised during the easter time. So I will accept it as far as it could be true so that if there is no change after baptism hopefully that they will do since can not provide evidence of having been baptised in orthodox church and chrismation then I will just follow christ if there is no change. I will accept whatever it teaches as true but it may be if there is no church available at time it is sufficient not to seek to go to church but just to accept the faith that I assume otherwise must seek to go to church but I am not sure maybe accepting the faith is sufficient.

I decided instead it is not right for me to risk or others can do to try but afterwards no change should not support divisions. I can do in future.That I will focus on another church I am seeking to get baptised in as adult just to test if I do feel change to prove only have Holy Spirit then and they believe after you are baptised need to be born of the Spirit that there meetings aim to prepare one to be filled with the Spirit.

I decided will only go to other church just to be baptised if they contact me first but can explore catholic church near same time first if not or after and may be harder to go to church later so I may report whether it is really having more of Holy Spirit or not and I will seek to join other churches later but it is wrong to hold church beliefs to be divided after been baptised and not notice change.

Actually I am not following catholic church as sinful people can take advantage of system to plan to commit adultery which is a serious sin that can lead to death to die in the planning or while sinning before having chance to repent so I should not go to encourage it. I will follow instead the below after seeking to be baptised as an adult and following that church too.

I believe we can not risk that we can not continue to hold to church beliefs for must proclaim the good news to all. That one can only accept church beliefs to test for all christians are accepted but afterward we must all proclaim that all christians can be saved. We are the church and are commanded to be living to proclaim the good news to all we know who needs it and need to serve God in anyway that message while we have chance to seek to serve Him in some way to be profitable servants incase we die while not seeking to not have opportunity to call on the Lord. I decided also I would test the orthodox church beliefs to accept it when I go to church but if it does not prove not accept it and continue to go to church to test yet not accept if it does not prove.

I decided to focus more on preaching the gospel and still go to any church to help inspire to do more for the Lord but not accept any divisive doctrine to just have communion at church and focus on building my relationship with christ in my quiet times with bible to serve Him that way with prayers which is very important though will also guide me to doing more I can do to serve the Lord within ability which is more though preaching is sufficient.But if any one wants he can follow the orthodox or catholic church.

I would normally say just can try to follow orthodox or catholic church but should be united with bible only believers to say anyone can be saved to be safe but now I think is right to accept christ accepts all christians who dont follow something bible seems clear to condemn such as teaching to keep old testament laws that are not moral to be saved such as sabbath for new testament only teaches they were shadows to find fulfillment in the new that the spirit of the law is important that it does not require any day though some believe can apply to new testament days given for but if worried he can do so.

And in some things that are said to be wrong by christ such as to call a priest father or teacher it is not clear leads to condemnation that if you think you are disobeying scripture should not as well as following any church teaching you are not sure you should not keep to be safe but it may not condemn that I can not judge will condemn. But God may understand that it is not the same as seeking to be justified by the old testament law which is sinful because it means you trust in a law that shows you dont think christ is sufficient to make you righteous to have authority to make new covenant laws which some think baptism is important because such old testament laws are obsolete that christ can make it so because has nothing to do with righteousness.

I believe it is most important to trust in God for one soul that the fear of man brings a snare. For what shall it profit the man if he gains the world and loses his soul. That instead of seeking to gain your life to put spreading gospel first and pursue otherwise if not killed or injured so that if I die for spreading gospel I am saved or if I lose an eye or foot or hand I will not care I will just spread gospel more and I will be more commited to preaching gospel.
