    The sheep were not surprized that they did good works, they were surprized that they did it unto Jesus, for they had not seen him. They asked how they had served him, and he told them, when you do unto others (good works) you do it unto me. No surprize. So you are not going to say to Jesus I...

    John 15:2 you are lost if you do not produce fruit, especially when you are IN JESUS and on his vine and produce no fruit. So keep working hard for the Lord and all will be well.

    If I do not believe 100% what you believe it does not mean I worship a different Jesus than you do. It means there is 1 Jesus that we believe in, and worship, but think differently about some aspects of his life and doctrines.

    The Lord will ask you: how much fruit have you produced for my kingdom? Let us examine your life's production. Then you will know if you have EL or not, depending upon your fruit. How can I say such a thing? This is how. If you believe and you then have the baptism of the Holy Spirit and...

    And many will come before the Lord claiming the following: a. I trusted totally in you Lord. b. The Lord asks, how much fruit did you produce? c. Answer: I was taught that you are saved without having to produce any fruit, all I had to do was trust in you, that you would input your...

    The Christian church I belong to is my business, not yours. I want to be able to debate the gospel of Jesus Christ without the added notion that "he's a _______________" so thats why he says these things. It is unimportant to know what church I worship at, what is important is the doctrines of...

    If the church is not a social gospel, you are not reading the scriptures with much insight. If the head cannot get along without the big toe, that means the head and the big toe are connected and dependant upon each other. This means they are dependant in all aspects, even socially. This is...

    There does not have to be agreement on any particular doctrine, but we can be in harmony concerning Jesus Christ. We believe in him and we are brothers in the gospel of Jesus Christ. I will never, as you have said, agree 100% of what you believe, but we can shake hands about Jesus, and commune...

    I have an opinion about what it takes to be saved, and I will tell people that opinion. If they decide it is true, great, and about 1/2 of the Christian people agree with me. The other half do not, but I will take communion with them any time, because we all believe in Jesus and you are right...

    I went after VCO and decon for being so negative towards each other. Let us all get along even with our differences is what I am saying. Yes, I do have a favorite verse: John 17:21 King James Version (KJV) 21 That they (all believers) may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that...

    I hear what you are saying, but we do have to believe. That is something we must do or you will not have EL. We must trust the Lord, or we will not have EL We must have the baptism of the spirit or we will not have EL. In my mind, we must be baptized by full immersion or we will not have EL. We...

    I was talking about VCO and decon, 2 very powerful and opinionated people. I was not talking about you. If you love your church that is wonderful, and stay with it. I did not give you unsolicited advice to change your church. I said that VCO would not accept decon as his pastor, nor would...

    So as you remember the scriptures, does Jesus say, love those that agree with you, but smash those that do not? So you can feel good about smashing people who disagree with you, I guess you do not believe in these words of Jesus: Matthew 5:44 King James Version (KJV) 44 But I say unto you...

    I don't use people to make myself look better, I have enough self respect, I don't need you. You say you are not at odds, listen to what you say: Post #71881 Where do you come up with this stuff? Nothing in scripture even comes close to saying this! Post #71882 Another strawman. Just like...

    You are now at odds with VCO and EG, who have been on your side of the "who is saved" debate. And you and they have said some rather sharp barbs at each other. This is not a good Christian trait, and this is not the kind of haughty, divisive men that will inherit EL. (God hates, haughty, and...

    I gave you good advise and instead of acknowledging what I said, you attacked. A hauty, unhumble person will not have EL. God would not countenance a sharp, divisive argument with you everytime you knew He was wrong.
