CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
How would you define trust and faith in regards to being saved?

Ok, or as simple as, "We love Him because He first loved us" 1 John 4:19.
I've been dealing with a friend who's lived about as wild and fleshly and licentious and drug-filled a life as one can live but who's Christian now due largely to the fact that I've continued to accept and love her despite her past-it's been a long journey. Anyway, she responded to that-she's almost 60 now. At the same time she needed to get to that point where she finally realized that her life wasn't working as she'd been living it. And she wanted something more, something better. Either way, yes, turning to God is the only path to this love.

All three are work of the Holy Spirit in us. We do not do anything other than to allow God to do a work in us and through us. If we do not produce the fruit of the Spirit then we are cut down and thrown into the fire.

not wanting any to perish but for all to come to a saving knowledge of the truth.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
