OK, I'm ready to start working on this. And for the record, this is not a sideshow act. I don't know the moment that some 'great reveal' will happen. We're just going to start looking deeper into the truth of things until we find something significant. At least that's how I'm describing it. It's kind of like when you pray to actually get an answer...you have to keep at it until God answers. You don't know when or how it will happen, but you're still asking him to do it. And when the answer shows up, it's pretty cool.
One thing I know is that people aren't really open to "buying" some new thing (or idea) before they are convinced they might need it. Right now I think you need a few small but important adjustments to your belief system. But I'm guessing you don't see it that way. So my first job is to start exposing a problem in your doctrinal structure.... to show that just MAYBE you've missed something important.
And I'm going to start with your #3 from Post#510.
#3 was: The disciples were either saved in John 20:22 or you are saying they were saved in Acts 2[:4]
Truthfully, I didn't say they were "saved" at either scripture (John 20:22 or Acts 2:4), because I don't see either scripture declaring them so, at either of those verses. My question to you is "
Why do you feel obligated to declare them "saved" at one of those verses?"
Secondly, I want to point something out about this quote:
You don't give me enough credit. I didn't just add the suggestion that "You're 'saved' once you say the sinners prayer" as a bogus suggestion. I added EVERY ONE of those as things people have listed as "As soon as you do (or have)
this, you're 'saved'!"
Love in Jesus,
