I have not seen all your posts but from what I have seen you rarely ever use scripture and when you do it is always misused and not meaning what you try to make it mean

It isn't that you are of a different school and what I say doesn't match what you say? I'm Amillennial Calvinist cessationist. I don't expect too many to agree with me. But do expect them to know basic scripture.

Do you believe in free will salvation? Calvinists do not.
Do you look for the pre-trib rapture? Amillennialists do not.
Do you believe in the Jesus who will reign in a future millennial physical kingdom on earth?
Jesus said his kingdom is spiritual and not of this world.

I don't believe in denominations and I don't believe that they decide the hearts and understanding of believers either. in Christ we are one denominations do nothing but divide and spearate and a kingdom divided cannot hope to stand.

If that is how you feel that is your choice but that isn't how I feel. even with our arguments and disagreements I still believed you are saved you just lack instuction and the willingness to recieve it. some of the things you say on here are actually quite impressive but I need not repeat myself of the things I say of you otherwise.
I don't discern judge or look at a person for their denomination or set of beliefs in christ I look at the heart, one can have the heart for God but be mislead or lack understanding and in this day in age with all the denominations beliefs and views within those denominations and understanding being different with everyone I don't hold people accountable for not knowiong understanding or even believing something, if I see God is in their hearts they are my brothers and sisters.

Anyone can see denominations and views and beleifs and decide if a person is saved or not only furthering the division within the body but I see with different eyes.

God saved me when I least desired it. He filled me with the Holy Spirit and it caused me to believe in Jesus and dedicate my life to living the Sermon on the Mount.

I don't belong to any denomination. But I've learned from many. After many years of study, I lit on what I know to be true.

God saves people after (or when) they decide to believe the Gospel (Eph 1:13-14).

Calvinism is false.
Amillennialism is false.
Cessationism is false.

They cannot believe until God saves them. Faith tells me God saved me or I would not believe.

No, it isn't. It's a belief system taught in the bible that exists in many denominations other than fringe.
