[b]It is not wat u do, but wat GOD has freely given to u that
assured ur salvation.
It is sad that Christians, even for those long in the faith and
walk closely with GOD, still see themselves living under
legalism/morality instead of GOD's grace.
If one do not believe that his salvation is assured by
faith thru Christ alone, then what Christ has done on the cross has
been taken in vain.
Do you believe after regeneration,
you will have to work onto salvation proving?
The Church is not perfect, but if one is going to let the failures
of men affect his decision concerning his own salvation, I can say
unfortunately he has been misled. A man
could be misled by any other way concerning salvation. Since man is
not perfect as well.
Anyway, misled by whom/what? One could not possiblity misled
himself. It has to come under certain influence.
As Christians, our role is to preach and to plant the seed. The
rest is up to GOD and the person.
Simple truth, hard to swallow -
I personally believe that as christians, the very first subject is
the Greatest Commandment and second to it. Knowledge of God's love
will propel a christian to reach out to those lost sheep.
Not the other way round.
Understand your primary role on earth first. Then go to the second
which is to be the salt and light.
We cannot be blame for that particular individual losing his
salvation, after all it is a relationship between GOD and himself
which nobody can decide for him/her.
Indeed. You can only intercede for
these people, showing them love of God, ...not preach to
them.
I reflected upon my own actions and I truely regretted my outburst
of anger. It was most unchrist-like. I am sorry to Dragg and [email protected]
for turning nasty and I apologize without any reservations.
