    As for going to church on Sundays or any other day of the week, my thoughts: I was an active church goer for most of my life. I brought my kids up in church. There are many goodhearted and faithful peopled in church... For the last year and a half, I have not attended my church. I have...

    Baptism does not save anyone at anytime, place, any age. You and those who believe as you do are putting stipulations on the gift of grace/salvation given to all mankind by God Almighty through His Son Jesus Christ. It's free for the acceptance. Following Jesus is another whole story. You...

    Baptism did not save me. It was an outward sign of my inward change. Yes I have been baptized. The salvation came from the Almighty work and blessing our our God through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

    We need no special ability to communicate salvation. The process of salvation is in God's Word. Salvation is explained simply in the scriptures: John 3:16. God has spoken His plan of salvation and mankind should not add unto it nor detract from it.

    Dang, since I've stopped posting everyday, so many new faces on here. Some sound familiar from another site that has closed down. My favorite versus and promise from God: John 3:16

    There are no experts on here who can make me feel bad nor angry except whenever I am accused of something I haven't done. There is a cool song called "before you accuse me, take a look at yourself" which I like.

    JPT has not pointed out in direct context where I insulted him/her. Whenever or if I ever insult someone, the insult will be plan and simple.

    You "assume" I deliberately did this, I deliberately am thus and so. You are "supposing" more than you should.

    If I were to insult JPT, I'd probably be thrown off this site. I would not mince words. Thank you for your support.

    Jesus never forces us to accept the gift in the first place. Eternal life is His gift but we must accept it. Once a gift is accepted, it is permanent. Do you believe Jesus would take back the eternal life He gave us as His gift?

    John 10:28–29 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand...

    I'm assuming you are thoroughly up-to-date on the scriptures. No I do not post scripture every time I post. I'm also not going to do your scripture look up for you. Not that my politics has anything to do with this site nor this thread, (stick to the OP), but I am a die hard conservative who...

    Once saved, always saved is not a doctrine. Read the Word of God for the People of God. What work God has done, cannot be undone. The gift once accepted seals the deal.

    If that is true, then God has no power. Some people have no security, no hope, and no power to live in the love of God. Leave it to those who believe in losing salvation to conflict with the Word of God.

    You are misguided. Once saved, nothing can separate us from God. Absolutely nothing.

    We have one gift of salvation and one time for it. Judgment decides whether or not our rewards hold up or if we receive any at all. How many times do you think you can be saved?

    Confession will not save anyone. Yes, when we know we have committed a sin (no matter big or little) we should talk with God and confess it. That confession is simply to keep our hearts/minds clean and pure. Salvation is a gift that cannot be earned, worked for, kept through human efforts...
