OSAS is not a correct gospel, it is nothing near truth.

Please lay out the plan of salvation that you once believed and have now abandoned.... stating "OSAS" is not enough information to support the credibilty of your initial statement.

That i believe:
1. Christ took the penalty for my sin at the cross
2. My name has been cancelled in the book of death and now written in the book of life and now have eternal life
3. I now walk with Christ all the days of my life, even if i stumble, i need to pick my life back, ask for forgiveness and continue marching with Christ

All these first came in a prayer that someone led as i repeated his words.

I now realize that if i do all these things and don't love others, i'm nothing. My own forgiveness is related to how i interact with others. If i don't forgive others for the trespass against me, then God has not also forgiven me.

I see our new resident Aussie stepped in with a negative comment while supporting a peddler of false gospels.............funny thing....The churches I investigated in AU...all peddled fun, games, people walking around with thongs (flip flops) on, people talking on the phone, kids playing with toys in the aisle (all during the service) and zero respect for the word of God.....oh and a 10 minute message out of context.....

no surprise one would support a peddler of false gospels.....

I sure hope there are a few churches that respect and proclaim the word of God......

You know....the only thing that irritates me....anything that contradicts the word of GOD and or goes against the word of GOD.........other than bugs that bite to suck blood like gnats, mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, banks with high interest rates etc.........

Well repeating words does not mean a whole lot if you do not believe what you say.... and that is what I read here.

I go take a look.. like I said the forces against truth seem to be growing exponentially.

Reminds me of something Bob Marley said ( I did not agree obviously with his religious beliefs ) but this had some merit to it.
“The people who were trying to make this world worse are not taking the day off. Why should I?”

Those people are the false teachers in my mind.... promoting death rather than life.

I am really trying to wait until I catch up, but here I can’t be silent.

Rom 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

The answer to this is be filled. Everything we need to live the life and godliness is already within us by the Holy Spirit. I just learned a new term that is helping me to understand this better....”lean into Him”. It may not be for you, but it may help someone else. The Lord is personal with us all but the end of a lesson should bear the same results.

We have love, joy, peace, righteousness in Him. He is a gift, and He keeps on giving.

Brother DC,
it's is always a very sad search looking for 'the Faithful' - but even so, we have to 'prove all things' -
as it is written from the beginning;
'And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.'
How sad =
SAD doesn't even to begin to express what those of us who love and know Christ's Love -
this is totally pagan, and devilish! nuff said, 'tree of good and evil', they speak sayings of merit,
but it is intertwined with 'evil' 'the oldest TRICK in the book'...
