Thanks everyone for all of your responses and advice. Apologies for a late reply but I've been very busy with work since last posting. I will take on board everything everyone has said and look into the many links and information given to me. Thank you once again it is very much appreciated. I...

I see what Inkfingers is getting at and I'm not sure I can answer it either. But I'll give it a go. From our point of view, if we die whilst in a unsaved state then our punishment, according to the Bible is Hell. (Some people may have different ideas of hell but universally it's accepted that...

Firstly, apologies if this is posted in the wrong section. I was brought up Atheist but after a few events and 12 months of having big questions about life, I came to Christ in 2014 at age 24. My family and friend circles were and still are hard atheists. I'm the only person of faith. I have...

I would agree with you also. I have also thought this from time to time. It often shocks me how many people who are regular church goers (and have been all of their lives) and haven't actually read the whole book. I'm still what I consider a "new Christian" having came to Christ in 2014. During...

Only Jesus was not talking literally. I'll share something I read on this recently to save typing it into my own words. This is known as hyperbole language. The term is derived of two Greek components, hyper (over, above), and bole (from ballein, to throw), hence “to throw above.” It is a...

Hell is a disconnection from God. Heaven is being with God forever more. Jesus is the Way, the truth and the life. No one comes to God except through him. Jesus was never rejectful, he was never abusive, he was never all about condemnation and fire and hell. He was about love, acceptance, second...

Yep, both. 100% God and 100% man.

Who would have said England would get to the semi's. I'm from Wales but have been supporting England throughout as the British team. Got a feeling we won't do it tonight but hoping. It's coming home. :D

You must not see anything past LGBT when you see a Rainbow is all I can surmise from this. The rainbow is about a whole host of things, of which only one branch is sexual orientation. God's love is unconditional. There are a 101 passages I could quote back to you but you're never going to agree...

Firstly, another assumption by mentioning my avatar. The Rainbow is a sign of Gods peace and love for all living creatures, which is also the message I have been giving consistently. No matter who you are, what categories you fall into, your mistakes are never greater than Gods Love. If you...

You speak a lot of sense, Hedrick. I would also say that I know a gay people (some male and a couple female) 2 of which are Christian. I too have seen the destruction caused by being rejected, or worse, trying to reject themselves. Certainly none of that "Good fruit" was evident as an outcome...

:) Exactly. Also Romans 10:9 - both of which are in my signature. Can a child molester not say the words Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart God raised them from the dead? Of course they can, therefore, like the rest of us who have made mistakes, they can be saved. There is only one sin...

In short, to answer directly the question posed in the thread title: Yes, they can be. I agree 100% with everything ubicaritas has posted here so I won't bother responding further past this post as they've stated everything I would have myself. - Salvation is given to us. It's not earned, it's...

Hi James. Welcome to CF. I am 27, also in the UK (South Wales). I'm a new(ish) Christian also (2014 I came to Christ). Been a member on this forum since 2010 (whilst I was still seeking) but only came back here as of today. As has already been said, you have already confessed with your mouth...

It now says Christian! Yipee! I'm counted :D
