Hello Blood Bought.So the only “ requirement “ is belief ,Correct ?
So the only “ requirement “ is belief ,Correct ?
I am going to simplify it for you and i am so glad its on your mind its the most important decision in your life your shall ever make. and also the best
When a person asks themselves what is salvation who is Christ Jesus these are good questions i feel a need to make a compelling statement based on the facts required leading a person in direction of their free choice accepting Christ Jesus as their savior. its important to me for i want or would like for you to enjoy the loving freedom in the relationship with him but recognizing his divine authority at all times.
So this I the guy on this post replying mere wretch sinner thief and a lair car stealing gambling adulterer and all things not according to gods will who once was and who is seeking to save their soul just like everyone else. It is by the divine authority God the alpha and omega that god by his grace and grace alone shall I be saved there is no God but one.
Blood Bought 1953: You have made the first step coming here which is brave but its were you need to be
The pros and the super pros of salvation.
1 you will have a relationship with God on his time not yours and be saved
The bads and the very bads
1 you will have to give up all the cigarettes booze adulterous actions if you have any lies deception all things not belonging or not Christ like be laughed at persecuted mocked made fun of be called a nut job give up your old life basically be the kill joy of todays modern culture and society
So you have thought and decided you want to give your life to Christ and be born again
this is the best thing i have heard since i have joined this forum and i think we as members on this forum should take particular interest in this man with a obligation of the most importance to help him on his decision
people will maybe convince you can say a quoted prayer and once you say it you are saved this is simply not true do not believe it it is false doctrine. it is of the most importance that i stress that their is no time but now to ask Christ to be your lord and savior that decision is entirely yours and yours alone for my friend you are not guaranteed tomorrow can you honestly say that you believe in god to be the divine authority and Christ Jesus who bore himself on that cross and give his life of free will and to glorify his father and to take the sins of the world and died and rose again and ascended to heaven so that man may have a chance to be saved and enter his kingdom and have eternal peace by gods grace and his alone
The steps on how to ask Christ to be your lord and savior when you truly believe in your own heart that he is gods son the only one delegated by god to be worthy of such a task to be your lord and savoir and repent close your door or where you feel comfortable but with the up most importance humble yourself get rid of all the pride and give him proper divine authority you may cry this is good its not about you it is about repenting for your sins and accepting the fact that Jesus Christ gods only son gave his life so that man may be shown mercy and be able to be reconciled with god due to his sinful nature and Jesus Christ paid the price for us so that wee may be saved afterwards you may feel elated relived or maybe want to dwell on the fact that you have accepted Christ turn away from your sins whatever they may be and have faith trust him read the scripture learn about who Jesus was and walk with Christ all your days and you and only you alone will know you have a relationship with god in his own time not yours and my friend you live in a world which is not in the ways of god it wont be easy you will have temptations resist the devil at all costs he will do anything to ruin your relationship with Christ and also god you will always be a sinner but dont forget Jesus paid the price for your salvation you might slip up from time to time i have and still do but always remember he is a forgiving god saying sorry to him and repenting every time wee make a mistake he is quick to forgive us or sins but do your best not to repeat it when you have the love of Christ you wont really desire these things seek him everyday and every moment and god will take care of the rest and he will meet you where you at but its up to you as well relationships take two this is simplified because i know you dont understand all of it thats why i am here to help you and give you the best knowledge that i have i with no special fancy intellectual knowledge but i do know one thing Christ gave his life for you god loves you and desires to have a relationship with you
Go and get baptized in the name of Jesus Christ any man who as the authority and is in Christ and has been elected to do so would be more than happy to see it happen
Any questions feel free to ask and i will happily oblige thats why i am here and i hope you do i live here in the uk
and anybody reading this fell free to correct me i oblige you to do so its in my best interests
Blood Bought 1953 you are far from a fool my friend takes a wise and humble man to have what you have
Thanks for your concern, Peter.....I might be a fool ,but I actually believe that God can save me.Paul said if I believed the Godpel thAt saves—1cor15– I would be saved. “The righteous shall LIVE by faith”. That is what I do. Like Paul said to the Galations....we finish the way we started.....I did not get Gods Holy Spirit by giving up booze,women and cigarettes....I got it when I said “God have mercy on me a sinner”. No works.Not one. God’s Spirit changed me and I lost the pleasure for many things that Used to give me a thrill.i made no effort at all.God did it not me—-they just all kinda fell by the way-side.So excuse me if I prefer to stay on my current path. I live by faith ( acting on the promises of God) and I trust God to continue to change me in the future,just like He has done for the last 35 years. Google Harry Ironsides Gospel if you want to know everything I believe....if you find any problems with his teachings send me another post.perhaps maybe even YOU could learn a thing or two...thanks again for your concern about my soul and may God bless you and all the great people in your country.
H***y I*******s Gospel
Seeing oneself as a lost sinner who needs a Saviour,would be my guess....Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner is adequate to save ,I think.....anybody out there see things differently than I do?
Blood Bought 1953 Please accept my humble apology by the above statement which i have took the wrong way i read seeing oneself as a lost sinner who needs a savior taking it by perception that you would like guidance on how to be saved due to my complete ignorance which i sincerely apologize for and i stand and look like a fool in my statement or post that was a response rather than thinking you already have a savoir rather than reading it to see the point that you are actually saying and for that i make a public apology on the forum and especially to you Blood Bought 1953 being a wiser man than I that i thought you were or would be looking an indication on how to accept Jesus Christ as lord and saviour
Again with the up most sincere apology brother i stand corrected which is in my best interests it will not happen again and i will make a note to myself to read and take good perception on what people are actually saying it will not happen again....
So how do you show by your lie that you are Christian?We would call that pietism, and some of us see that as potentially deadly, because it can easily major in the minors. A Christian that never swears but still feels justified acting cruelly, for instance, is not showing evidence of a living faith.
Besides, we Lutherans have the small vice of tending to swear more than a little. Not all of us, but some of us just don't see it as that big of a deal.
There are many clean living unregenerate people.
bugkiller
I agree there are, many show up the poor quality of Christian living.
How does a new Christian show that he/she has changed?
Everything is subject to testing, and this leads to more questions instead of answers; i.e. more problems instead of peace and harmony with Scripture.
If you do it like some of my relation,you first put a scowl on your face , be lightning fast to point out the sins of others and well ,you know....act “ religious” .if your church is boring and dead and adds to the Gospel of Paul and never opens the Bible to teach and gives forgetful sermons about how to be “ moral and Good enough—
invite others — misery loves company
No I askled you how you think a new Christian should live.
The new Christian should live like the old Christian..you start and finish the same way....the Righteous shall L I V E by faith.....from faith to faith...believe and act on the promises of God and He will clean you up from the inside out.....remember what Jesus said about the inside of the cup? We can become religious and do spiritual imitation
( that would be the outside of the cup that the world can see ) or trust God to do what only He can do by spiritual fruition (that would be the inside of the cup) it worked for me is the only thing I can tell you for sure. God bless
A super spiritual answer and practically uselrss.
How should a new Christian live?
Try living in the real world, imagine the nearest non christian at work. He has become a Christian and is asking you about his life style how would you advice him?
What change would you expoect to see anyway without your advice?
That seems to be the majority opinion as to what it means to commit blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. In that respect you are in good company.
But that is a theological conclusion and not a strict reading of the passage.
Webster (and Cambridge) say that blasphemy is:
the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God
the act of claiming the attributes of a deity
irreverence toward something considered sacred or inviolable
Jesus said, "Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come".
Therefore, considered in context, the generally accepted interpretation concerning blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is incorrect even if it does seem to follow logically in a theological way.
