    Am I saved, or have I lost salvation?

    lol technically speaking the acronym wasn't put on there til much later by other Christians on to label what he taught. As I mentioned, I do think there are solid non calvinist teachers out there; this is one: https://www.ccontario.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChnVoek_V6NgBi0wSjapYmA...

    Am I saved, or have I lost salvation?

    I would argue to avoid churches that aren't preaching Scripture. With online services being a thing right now, there is a Pentecostal Arminian preacher I very much like who teaches verse by verse - Calvary Chapel Ontario--I would not have a problem recommending him as a resource. I would also...

    Am I saved, or have I lost salvation?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvinism will probably explain it better than I can. It differs from most Christian denominations on the following: they believe in predestination and election. In other words, God chooses , or predestines, who will be saved (Romans 8:28-30). This is probably...

    Am I saved, or have I lost salvation?

    lol....yea so this is pretty spot on with my church labeling Hillsong as heretics---if indeed it was prosperity gospel; my church would have despised it...They can't stand any prosperity gospel teaching. In fact, my church in particular didn't even pass buckets or plates around! lol...

    Am I saved, or have I lost salvation?

    I should note...after having my own issues and wanting to give up church for good, and studying a good bit on scriptures regarding false teachers, I discovered something truly shocking. There are pastors who run churches who aren't saved. There are many stories of pastors who grew up in the...

    Am I saved, or have I lost salvation?

    So, we have to separate the issues of salvation and the issues of being hurt at church, because they are 2 different things. Firstly, while I don't know Hillsong myself, I know the last church I was a member at would have vehemently labeled them heretics. I'm not sure I agree...but that's lack...

    How to remove all the toxicity from your life.

    Basically, cut everyone out from your life, and then find a way to be perfect, even better than Jesus. Note* that was sarcasm. This teaching of removing toxicity or toxic people from your life is actually quite counter-intuitive, and will actually lead us down a route headed straight for looking...

    True or False

    True or false, I was once trapped inside a giant castle in the form of a beast due to a magic spell cast upon me; but was woo'd by some belle who happened to be named Belle. I also had a giant library.

    Which Bible translation is the best one to read?

    I think it has more to do with our own selfishness and desire to have our own way of life...basically the original problem that never stopped being a problem lol.

    Which Bible translation is the best one to read?

    I would argue that if one has a false understanding of the text; hopefully either a solid church will correct him, or God will convict. Most of the time, false teaching comes either from a leader with evil intentions or from a leader with lack of knowledge and understanding on their part. It is...

    Which Bible translation is the best one to read?

    I used an NLT Chronological Study Bible published by Tyndale House as well as Interlinear Bibles of Aramaic, Greek, and Hebrew. Reasons for this: 1. Tyndale was renowned for his knowledge of several languages and desire to translate the Bible. So, I trust and hope Tyndale House have been...
