As it says in the title, I am asking how do you know that your specific beliefs are leading you on a path to third-heaven? I don't ask this to start argument or debate but I'm very curious as to what makes you sure that your chosen church/denomination is the correct one to follow. Naturally I'd like to comment on every response to evoke more thought! I am 16 and very well-read. If/when quoting or citing scriptures please use the KJV (1611) version of the bible to keep everything mainstream and no mix up's in translations when I respond God Bless
Faith tells us that Jesus is the correct one to follow. by faith we Know. the thing with faith is, sometimes there is no visable evidence, you have to believe the word even when you dont see it manifest with your physical eyes. its about faith in Gods Word above the rest, that convices me that Jesus is the right one to follow. because its everything His word says, believers believe and , im a believer.
Faith is Like when you look up and the clouds are so thick they have dimmed the light and things look dark. Faith tells us, that the sun is still shining bright and warm, even though we can only see the clouds and rain. its an illusion like the world. we have to hold to the truth of what Jesus said, even when the world is crashing around us, even when evil looks like it won, we Have faith in Gods Word, and His faithfulness to bring it to pass.
i personally think denominations are a work of the devil to divide the church and create division among the Body. it shows each time no agreement was found a group split and taught different doctrines, different details , one denomination says " this applies" another says " no that doesnt apply this other thing from the same word of God applies......its not a design of God to have denominations within the body.
