Though I believed such is the best way I think it is not wise to take risk for others prophecied incase it is necessary to trust only in what Christ did to be saved and to be raptured as they say there is as Roman’s says all have sinned there is none who does good and the law shows that there is none good that all the world may be guilty to put trust in Christ it seems when reading Romans that Paul was showing how persons need to put faith in what Christ did as tract says shouldn’t seek to make salvation difficult but simple as receiving Christ that one is saved but without works when there is need one shows his faith was not real and may die before chance to call on Christ.So I will seek to do so and pray if Christ shows all Christian’s can be saved. If I understood correctly I was told at Baptist church even if you could doubt but still have faith that is way like the man who said I believe help my unbelief Christ will accept.

Unfortunately I don’t think it is right to risk that it is right to trust only in Christ as there could be rapture and may be necessary to do to be saved. That I believe it is safest to do that I believe bible is sufficient and I think better not to go to church but I think God might accept if person does not accept church doctrine but to be born again and to encourage it. I will not only go some times to try to reach people who I care that I seeked help from because they wanted to help.

Unfortunately there seems to be risk and not much hope for those who follow church though it could be if all they do is go to church and judge to claim to know but don’t and don’t reach out but also because can’t know because may not be the way being less effective and practical not helping people that need Christ so I think it is safe to teach to receive christ as Lord to trust in Him as saviour to ensure to be saved and to be raptured if there is since I can’t know and pray if Christ shows all Christian’s can be saved. It is people decision others should not mislead even leaders but I should not discourage unity though I will not go only sometimes to try to reach those who seeked to help me who may not know my current beliefs but others can go to any church to teach but teach to them to accept Christ as Lord and saviour to show care but if they don’t listen is their choice.

I don’t believe divisions should exist but since they exist I decided to follow Orthodox Church to be fully devoted to it as I think I should be sure that it would help if I am devoted to be guided and that it gives strength. And I will seek the Lord to have encounter with Him as bible says and you will find Me if you search for Me with all your heart. But the true teaching of the church if it is as bible says is that God is not willing for any to perish and whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved but some may not get opportunity to call in repentance that they will die at time before they do but if anyone calls at anytime they are accepted if they die before being baptised if they can’t.

I believe is wrong to follow church as also bible says it is right to put trust in Christ to lead otherwise that if he has no led He does not require and it is safest now not to and wrong to put risk incase necessary to be saved and to be raptured so person is not left behind to suffer more difficult tribulation. This video was made to show importance to be prepared now and to save one from being here during such difficult tribulation.

I wanted to follow church as I saw people saying you have to lose your life to gain it and wondered how I may do so if I need to follow church and could be men opinion just that it really just means you have to accept Christ and repent of sin but I think do not need to follow church and it may be that you don’t need to be a missionary to preach but repent as video may suggest so follow this. So I believe all should receive Christ as Lord and saviour and pray if Christ shows all Christian’s can be saved.

I decided I would not support church divisions to trust that Christ is just to accept everyone who follows Him according to what is possible as long as even if he thinks he must do work he does not believe he is righteous to deserve heaven by his deeds but he knows he must obey. If others are worried they can trust only in Christ. For I believe it is wrong to seek to be devoted to something I don’t believe is right that I would be fake. And I believe it is right that Christian’s should be united seeking to serve the Lord

For one should teach that for the parable of the virgins teaches the importance of people having more than just faith but commitment which is oil to follow the lamb wherever He goes to sell all possessions they don’t need to walk as He did to always seek to repent which includes to preach and people are called to lose their life. That is to be safe I don’t know if required but to be safe persons should seek to be missionary to lose their life in serving because they don’t know if they will die when not seeking to before they have chance to call to Christ.

People have to be fully devoted to serving Christ you can not serve God and mammon for we are commanded to love God with all our might. That is safest I do not judge others for God only knows the extent that is required but that may be required so persons should.

I believe rather it is not right to risk now incase true that I should only do so if Christ proves incase necessary to do to be saved and to be raptured if there is. That people only hope I believe is trusting in what Christ did as bible said by grace through faith are you saved and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God that you don’t need to do any work if can not do and may not be required to seek to be missionary if can but can do if want to be safe. But one is saved in not needing a previous work only to do what one can that Christ has commanded so I believe all should and pray if Christ shows all Christian’s can be saved.

There are some who claim you have to trust in Christ work alone maybe without works but I don’t know what they mean if they don’t have to atleast live right through work of Christ and not their own doing. I don’t agree you don’t need to do what you need to do which is to seek to obey commandments as you may not have opportunity to call on Christ to seek to later.I don’t support them anyway while I don’t know. I don’t know exactly what they mean if you don’t have to live right but I don’t support that but others can follow them but I wouldn’t unless I believed as they do for they seem not right.

There is another that gives us the power to do! And that is the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ. This is why it’s not of works.

Either we will do works on our own, believing that makes us righteousness (works does not make us righteousness), or allow the Holy Spirit’s in dwelling who is already rightious.

God did an exchange on the cross. The Bible tells us the exchange was Christ the righteousness died for the unrighteousness. We are unrighteous so Jesus gives us His righteousness. Righteousness is a free gift to us in Christ. This is why it’s not of works.

Because we are carnal, what we do is not acceptable to God. Only the rightiousness of Christ is acceptable.

Our power to do comes from being joined with Jesus. We are the branches, Jesus is the vine. The Spirit of Christ flows down from heaven where He sits on the right hand of God, and pour forth the power of His life through the believer’s spirit. Our spirit then comes alive with the power of Christ. This is why the Bible tells us we sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, because through the Spirit of Christ, we receive His Spirit to live out the life of Christ on earth. We live an ascended life on earth, given to us from heaven.

This is why it’s not of works.

Yes it is not of our own works and faith and calling on the Lord is all that is necessary if that is all one can do but as Paul says in Titus below His work must lead us to live righteous lives only because we don’t know when we will die if we don’t have chance to repent to call on Christ.

Titus 2:11-15
11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
15 Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.

I may be chaotic but I am doing nothing wrong for that is what God wants for it is not even possible to restore trust if I make no divisions. If God wanted to prevent what I think evil He could interfere to make no divisions to show care to me but He does not but it may be as He respects people free will as people have no excuse not to obey Him not to take salvation seriously no matter what way they want and I see no point to make unity as people show no care for others just to worship their man made tradition which does not give assurance for all who die in Christ to be worthy of salvation having needing church to prepare for many to stumble others though they have no excuse to reject Christ from others actions as they know it may not be true but some do but since I feel there is no grace and mercy in church message I will not follow.

I don’t think there should be divisions but there are and I don’t think it is right to judge catholic church if you can’t know it is not true so I decided to accept catholic faith and I think others should too if they think it is right and I will seek Christ to show me perhaps if all Christian’s can be saved.

I decided such is not wise that I should trust only in Christ for He is sufficient to guide because also may be time of grace ending for tribulation and we should pray if Christ shows truth that all Christian’s can be saved. I did only want to join Catholic Church as believed it may help grow my relationship with Christ but I believe bible is sufficient and those who were baptised and born again servants in church will be able to inform about how to follow Christ.

I thought to follow below but is wrong as could not be true and people take advantage to stay supporting divisions. They ought to give their life to Christ and leave judgement to Christ that is how they support no divisions that they have no excuse to do evil as is safest and they should do so.

I believe it was wrong to support divisions that we should be united serving the Lord not to stumble others to make them distracted from doing good which can cause them to die in sin to encourage good so reach out out to support what is good that also should to encourage more to that more be saved and that they be saved on death so I will not support divisions. If others want they can

I decided I would not let fear stop me from doing what I believe is right as Christian’s being united is a better witness to not cause stumbling though they ought to be serious they may not be seeing others not serious though they have no excuse and to not make hinderance to gospel that people do not take seriously though they have no excuse as word of God says which they know but they should though there is no excuse to cause offenses to judge others acting like you know when you do not. If others are worried they can trust only in Christ.

I believe actually it is not wise to take risk incase it is true that it is our only hope if it is gospel that all Christian’s should accept to receive Christ as Lord and saviour and leave judgement to Christ. And we can pray if perhaps Christ will show all Christian’s can be saved. For I thought what if it is true that some are also posting to prepare deception about September 23 that event will seek to happen of aliens coming to earth to consider them good that people will accept when rapture happens and afterwards people will betray one another because of difficult times.

I don’t believe it is right to judge anyone for holding beliefs that seems could be true to be most right so I decided to follow Catholic Church because not enough are truly converting to true that others such as Jewish people are supposed to have a true widespread awakening to show truth and support others and I think not to support divisions and feed the flock with truth and I will pray for Christ to show all Christian’s can be saved.

Actually I decided it is not right to trust man I am just tired of being alone that I want to be part of a church to fulfill all and I did not want to stumble others to seem not trustworthy if I seem not to be able to know enough but I think I do know enough and I think others should receive Christ as Lord and saviour to trust only in Christ that it is right I believe to trust only in Christ that He is sufficient and leave judgement of others to Christ. Also I do not think Catholic system is really helpful as can not know they will seek to teach true doctrine and they teach teaching a standard not all are guaranteed to be able to learn and no mediator can bring you to God except Christ as none can be justified in any works to ever be worthy. For even they make you need to see a priest to be guided and not guaranteed priest will teach truth and there is no priest everyone knows now who is teaching the truth and claims he knows whole way without another priest.
