circles are made up of a lot of left turns!
that's cool that he was doing well
i need to keep looking at people as fields with treasure in them -- maybe shoddy real estate on the whole, but worth paying the price for, because of what's hidden in there.
that's how Christ sees us -- He bought us at a very steep price, when it looked like bad business to do so.
I think it is about time this thread gets locked. This thread has been a somber testimony of certain people on this forum who refuse to believe Christ's divine revelation to man in its totality. You still have time accept the totality of Christ's divine revelation to man, so as to AVOID HELL. JESUS FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO. IN YOUR LORD NAME JESUS WE PAY. AMEN.
this is what the Lord does for His friends
all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.
(John 15:15)
what do you do? do you do as the Lord does?
do you really follow Him if you see what He does, but you do not do what He does?
you may say that you do, but proof is in the pudding. people say a lot of things.

The Thief on the Cross did not have time to read and believe all the Divine Revelations in the Scriptures but yet Jesus said he would be with Him in Paradise.
Also the very fact you are using very big letters in red to try to convince us only you have the Truth shows your Pride is blinding your eyes to the Truth in the Scriptures.
I follow what the Holy Spirit says, i do not follow people like you who put themselves above the very Word of God.
God revealed to me He created everything. I believe Jesus created everything but i do not have to believe this to receive Salvation.
I could believe in Evolution and still receive Salvation by Faith.
Its not about rightly believing, its about accepting the Faith from God and accepting Jesus as my Lord and Savior. This is what the Thief on the Cross did.

Can you let us know 1 divine revelation from Christ you believe we don't have to believe?
I DIDN'T THINK SO.
I DIDN'T THINK SO.
Are you doing those things GOD said to do under the law and also doing those things GOD said to do under grace?

The claim that all will go straight to hell if they don't believe the totality of Christ's divine revelation to man has no teeth.. for every Christian of every church lives by a larger or lesser expression of the Christian faith as written of throughout the Bible.
It is a theological fact of Christian churchianity.. yet, everyone of them claim to have the totality of Christ's divine revelation to man. Some even add that those denominations that don't believe exactly as they do, will go straight to hell.
However, there is no verse of scripture that they might give in support of their statement that will trump the well known verses that have within them, "Believe in Jesus and you shall be saved."
That, is all that is needed for a sinner to believe. That is what makes the difference between going to heaven, or going to hell. No other doctrine matters at that point. The rest of it can be taught after salvation. And no subsequent doctrines can override the assurance of salvation.
There is no Biblical law that allows for being excommunicated by any self appointed Christian taking authority over any other Christian.
The knife to the throat as it were, to agree or die, has no supremacy within Christianity.
A Christian does not have to believe certain doctrines in order to be assured of going to heaven when they die. In that sense, once saved - always saved, is true.
The only thing that I see in this thread of forcing the issue, is a game of sorts that is being played, perhaps to snare any Christian who is weak regarding the matter of their own salvation.
