    how can I be assured as a Christian that I am born again ?

    Your feelings have nothing to do with it. Do you believe that Jesus is the Christ? If 'yes', then take God at His word: Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God ... 1 John 5:1 (KJV)

    Once Saved Always Saved is True.

    God subjects the offer of salvation to the unsaved man's free will. God does not subject the ability to loose salvation to the saved man's free will. The will is equally free in both cases.

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    A guy named Paul taught the pretrib rapture hundreds of years before Darby. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thess 4:17 (KJV)

    How to deal with self doubt about your faith?

    It sounds to me like you're too focused on yourself; "my faith", "self doubt". Instead, focus on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. (Heb. 12:2) :-)

    Sin Consciousness

    Fellowship is not relationship. Relationship is not fellowship.

    Sin Consciousness

    You're wrongly lumping 2 things together. 1. A born again believer doesn't have to lift a finger to "keep himself saved". God does all the keeping. 2. But when a believer sins, he severs his fellowship with God. He is conscious of his sin because the indwelt Holy Spirt makes him conscious of...

    Jesus and Nicodemus

    The new birth happens to a person prior to physical death; and therefore prior to the resurrection of the body. 1 Peter 1:3-5 (KJV) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again [past tense] unto a lively hope [the hope is...

    Can one repent at the Judgement or after death?

    All of the saints who died in the old testament era were saved through faith before they died. These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the...

    Can one repent at the Judgement or after death?

    Yes. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. Rev 22:11 (KJV)

    Can one repent at the Judgement or after death?

    Here are some passages for your consideration: But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring...

    about the baker who lost business when sued by "gays"

    No, I'm not saying the baker did the wrong thing. It's just something I don't think I'd want to do. I'm glad the baker won. I doubt I'd make the effort.

    about the baker who lost business when sued by "gays"

    I wonder what kind of a lawyer fee the baker ended up having to pay for all of this. Or did some ACLJ-type group represent him for free? I'd hate to try to solve my financial problem by using my finances to make some lawyer rich, or by subjecting my business interests to some activist group's...

    saving individuals or nations?

    Interesting subject. Here are a couple of passages that seem to support what you're saying: And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one...

    The MAIN "Divider" Of denominations!

    The numerous requirements in the New Testament and God's pure grace are in perfect harmony with each other. Don't pit one against the other. Water baptism is one of the requirements. It won't save you, but it won't counter God's grace either. You'll enjoy God's pure grace when you obey His...

    Gap Theory?

    Adam started out as dust of the ground; formless & void. Even after he was formed he was still void; so God breathed into his nostrils and filled that void. The process God chose to use was perfect from start to finish. Don't demand it to be "instant"; He's not on our timeclock.

    You have no support for that from the Bible or science.

    Gap Theory?

    God made Satan. Satan currently exists. Everything that exists was made within those 6 days. Therefore God made Satan within those 6 days. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is ... Ex 20:11 (KJV) God didn't create the earth in vain; He created it to...

    Gap Theory?

    The fossils that really do exist are part of the "all that in them is": For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is ... Ex 20:11 (KJV) Your "pre-Adamic" fossils can 't exist today without violating this verse.
