A bit of a confusing situation.

[God is good777]

So I responded to a reddit post the other day on rtruechristian and the person who posted it direct messaged me, and asked if I was saved and I said yes, he said do you believe in the gospel and I said yes and I believe Jesus is my Lord and savior and that he died on the cross for our sins and rose on the 3rd day.

Well he questioned my salvation more, and sometimes I struggle with doubts about it, and made me wonder if I was saved, and said if I doubt I'm not saved.
So he asked if I wanted to get saved and I said we'll yes, and so he asked if I believe in the account of the gospel and I told him yes I do absolutely, and he said now im saved, this whole time I've been in an emotionally bad spot as of lately and i should have stood my ground knowing I was saved already, but I didn't and now he wants me to join a group message thing on Paltalk I believe and pretty much has made it sound like just the the group there has the truth, and to only use kjv and not read any books in the bible besides romans to Philemon. And that any preacher or any advice outside of what Paul told us is of the devil.

And I realized after alot of thought and realization this is not something I probably should be involved in so should I just kinda not respond to him on reddit ? I know the awnser is probably simple and im overthinking this I just want some advice on it all.

It does sound suspicious. Doubt when things are troubling us is called holy Doubt because faith with thinking or reason which doubt draws out is often weak. A faith bought through trails even internal ones tends to withstand long term troubles. This doesn't mean all reddit is bad, just shy away from any group that has the only Way.

You've built your house on sand......storms and winds will bring it down easily. Tear it down, and build upon a stronger foundation....upon a rock.

Forget about whether or not you were saved....time to do our first works over.

Yeah thats where I'm at with it, I mean he is making sound like just his small group basically understands salvation, and maby he does not mean that but im very troubled by how he went about things, and not all reddit is bad not at all, and maby he really does have the best interest but some of the things he said, im just going to remove myself from the situation.

Good idea and know a little doubt pushes you to learn more.

I understand what your saying, my foundation was built on sand, so I did not have built on Jesus or I wouldn't have allowed for him to make me question things? I'm guessing that is what you meant by that anyway.

I don't use reddit anymore because I find websites like christianforums more enriching. It would be best to leave it alone but if you're itching to reply to him then i would suggest redirecting him to the forums. Kinda sounds like he thinks Paul is the messiah lol.

No I simply left it alone, and yeah at first he seemed completely fine and I agreed but then the more he was talking on some things I realized this was not a healthy environment I was being brought into, im just going to let it be thank you for the advice.

While it's great to know you have faith in Christ alone, it's always good to add to it, so you have sure reply for such people in the future.

[2Pe 1:5-8 NIV] 5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God bless.
