I decided I would follow church as said below incase will help to prove for others to see the full truth to make others clearly see their need to keep all commandments they show only if possible to prove though that may not be the truth but that anyone can be saved just to repent to call on christ if that is all can do but I wont accept that to follow church always to assume not knowing what is required for unbaptised unless christ proves other christians can be saved and I will seek God in bible reading to know christ also to see if will prove other christians are saved.

I know some will seek to mock following orthodox church because church can close but church might teach though I dont know to assume anything but some may hold if it is impossible to go to church such is not necessary but just to accept faith and be baptised by any and must seek to do if possible that christ knows if you made enough effort however much is necessary.

This is below I will follow:

It doesnt look like there is hope for me to be more spiritual again to be spiritual man again and not natural so I decided to follow the below just to see if will make difference and keep following to be safe incase later will know and only change my view if christ proves other christians can be saved.

I believe there is no strength of conviction and grace to continually abide in the truth so I decided to follow orthodox church to test it to have sacraments to teach me the truth. I do believe anyone can be saved and that accept orthodox church teaches if one is being killed all that matters is accepting faith that you dont need to have been baptised or to see priest and if one is far from church or cant go to church person just needs to make effort to go to church even if cant that God knows if made enough effort. It could also be one just needs to desire to join the church that if difficult God does not require or even if close to church if you desire to join church but never make it because of any slowness to obey but there is desire however small God accepts. But I will accept I dont know what God requires for those not baptised if they dont die for faith as martyrs to see if it will teach me more clearly what is truth.

1 John 2:4"Whoever says, 'I know him,' but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him"

I decided I would not waste my time going to orthodox church as I could spend it going to other churches or focusing on my relationship with God with bible because I realise it is man made has a system of confession that when church closes they can choose if they want not to accept confessions not even to give appointment over the phone. But if others are worried they can try. I know one can accept one does not need confession if they dont allow you just need to try that God knows how much effort is necessary however much required that it could be just to desire in that case is enough and any effort but I am not going to follow that to trust God.

I decided I would just seek to join catholic church just to be safe just so it is available so i can test it to accept it may be confession is not required if cant just any desire and effort is acceptable but I dont know that may be God knows how much effort is required if one did and I have to plan to be commited to it that I will unless christ shows me otherwise.

I have heard to join catholic church just need confession of faith and to see priest to help that may not be necessary to join a course or is shortened if baptised to be a candidate.

I decided not to follow the catholic church that it is right to trust God justice that all christians can be saved that I should focus on my walk with God and also declaring the goodnews not to oppose that all christians can be saved that if all they can do is call on christ they can be saved. I received a phone call from voice of the martyrs to be invited to join breakfast in support of them and realised that it was wrong not to support all christians that such is not just. If others are worried they can follow catholic or orthodox church.

I decided to follow orthodox church to be safe and to see if following to have communion will lead to Holy Spirit guiding me in all truth to know God better and follow Him and keep following unless christ proves otherwise other christians are saved

That I can still participate in voice of martyrs and martyrs can accept orthodox faith.

I will follow below I planned to

I decided I should trust that I know the truth enough and not support divisions to also accept orthodox as full path if they let me to confess and have communion just to be fully united with God but that other christians have enough truth to be saved that I will focus on preaching the gospel and growing through reading bible to be able to find how I may serve more and if others are worried they can go to orthodox church if they think it will help them more but I should focus on preaching gospel so as not to distract others from what is most important a relationship with God though they have no excuse as they should know even if people dont please them they are responsible to God to follow Him even if they cant go to orthodox or catholic church. I did think my liking other christian posts it would make my following orthodox church not have grace but maybe it would not that could follow orthodox church but I decided to trust God. Actually I decided I would accept orthodox faith only when having confession and having communion and some times longer to know if it changes one but afterwards not accept it.

As I added below I decided to follow the below so I know I did my part in seeking to be closer to God. What I added below is I decided I would accept orthodox faith only when having confession and having communion and some times longer to know if it changes one but afterwards not accept it. I also can go to any church then which I will after going to church to do that but sometimes will wait while before doing so and interacting with others to see if makes change.

I decided it is wrong to be distracted and not to trust God that I will focus on making disciples to teach about christ and if they want I can baptise them and break bread with them that I will offer to do incase though I thought not required but can do incase and that is the commision to give option and if they want they can follow orthodox or catholic church. I will focus on making disciples and bible reading to help make sure one knows to follow His will. I will just go to orthodox church to confess not because I believe priest absolves sin but to help have partner to help my growth to be more useful as servant of christ.

I decided it is right to trust God baptism and communion is just required to do to be saved on death because everyone in their life had chance to go and do if they come earlier that I will not teach it required that I will trust God but I will offer to do as required to be saved on death by those who want to to be disciples but I will focus on the commandments of one commitment to one obedience to christ will. If others are worried they can seek to go to orthodox or catholic church.

I believe no one should take risk that should accept only to be born again to follow only christ to ask Him to make one new to give Holy Spirit to regenerate one that should assume one does not receive it without doing that even if baptised by water and leave judgement of other christians to christ that one should accept one is justified now if no chance to do works.

For I made a reply to below message and thought I must make a decision of my definition of born again

As much as I believe one should be born again I decided I would not let that stop me from fellowshiping with people of orthodox church I grew up with to not accuse to make divisions to stop others from any word of benefit as they know they have no more essential benefit and personally should not encourage something we dont know is biblical like seeking help for salvation from saints known as intercession of saints but that they should personally receive only christ and they can go to communion not supporting church belief.

I decided not to support such divisions that persons should focus on who has not heard the gospel to be peacemakers to help to make people have peace with God that all christians are born again if they put christ first seeking also a relationship with Him to do His will but because I believe christ is the only teacher I believe He must be put first before other orthodox and catholic church teachers if they teach you should not support other christian evangelists for one should as they do work when sometimes church does not to introduce christ to others just in case though christ might accept if you only support ones church.

I decided I would just follow the below incase having communion is necessary to communing with Holy Spirit to guide in all truth to be nourished by eating His flesh and drinking His blood which He said is food indeed and needed to give life though I believed is only necessary in purifying and uniting the soul to God not necessary to be saved but only to be saved immediately on death that i believed it only matters one obeys God which they know without but I will do incase but I will still seek christ to know if all christians can be saved.

I decided to follow orthodox church to be safe and to see if following to have communion will lead to Holy Spirit guiding me in all truth to know God better and follow Him and keep following unless christ proves otherwise other christians are saved

I did go to church and had communion and I did not feel Holy Spirit communicated with me to teach anything so I decided to accept not to take risk that should be born again as I said to receive christ as Lord and saviour which means you are justified without works if cant do is the meaning not saved of works lest any boast but saved for good works that you have to do if possible incase you die without opportunity to call on the Lord. I will sometimes go to church just to go to meetings l said I would do such as my confession meeting and church dinner fundraiser I said would go with friend which if they know me from my posts they will know otherwise I will just be as another but they know they are responsible to hear anyone to defend faith against another but our faith is most biblical being for all but wont go again and will discuss that I think need to be born again but not make further meeting. That it is important not to be lukewarm but focus on preaching gospel to all.

I decided not to support divisions as should show care to other believers so they enthusiasticly serve christ as may not want to if feel christ was harsh to them for following what they thought may be right and may also stumble people it is wrong to stumble because others of family were convinced it is right and so they also do not try to oppose other christians to encourage more to support to be united but if others are worried they can accept to be born again. I will focus on preaching the gospel and growing in my relationship with God to know more how I can serve and people can follow what they want. I think only to be safe as I believe christ is first that He said to call only Him teacher that catholic and orthodox should support other missionaries who introduce others to christ because church does not always but I dont know maybe christ will accept if support only their church.

I decided should not take risk incase message is true that one needs to commit to christ that should follow incase to be safe that I did not want to because I was worried from such a message being destroyed because it seems proud not God will but I will follow incase it is

As the below message shows part of spiritual warfare is preaching gospel to all

Ephesians 6:10-20 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.“

Today, more than ever, we need ALL the offensive Spiritual weapons from Jesus to defeat the evil being cast upon our lives and spread across the world by the devil.

Jesus gives us His Protection, Power, Authority, Blood, His Name, and all His Powerful Spiritual weapons to live free from fear and defeat all enemies.

Study God’s Word and learn how to use His Power and Authority in our lives, and live a victorious life!

STAND WITH JESUS, He never leaves our side! Pastor Roger

I would follow below

I did go to church and had communion and I did not feel Holy Spirit communicated with me to teach anything so I decided to accept not to take risk that should be born again as I said to receive christ as Lord and saviour which means you are justified without works if cant do is the meaning not saved of works lest any boast but saved for good works that you have to do if possible incase you die without opportunity to call on the Lord.

That it is important not to be lukewarm but focus on preaching gospel to all.

Jesus is clear not to cast one pearls before swine which doesnt mean you shouldnt preach but not when you yourself dont look good to support christ hope though God will accept one if he is persecuted but will suffer harm for nothing that I dont believe everyone should preach except on things like social media unless person is mature can convince but I believe person must be born again to send message out to some online. He also said you are the salt of the earth and if it has lost its flavour it is good for nothing but to be trampled underfoot by men.
