My name is Frank, I am 37

My general approach has been essentially Galatians 3:28

Acts 4:32-36 is proto communism as I understand it

Acts 19 says belief is not enough

The Orthodox give theosis for salvation

This is baptism by Spirit, and here it happened in 2012

Henosis means made one, as in John 17:20-26

I seek communion with others who have answered this prayer

Not sure about what new revelation about salvation you have in store for us, but welcome to CC, Frank. If you put the aforementioned information on a BDF thread, you are sure to get attention like bread before pigeons. :):coffee:

i.e. Heads up!:rolleyes:

I have suggested theosis is Orthodox salvation

This is the group that stuck to the Greek, you know, the language it was written in

I do not do much of the superficial stuff

I enjoy its uniting of Stoic and Neoplatonist ideas

I dislike that many decided that was bad

For me, Gregory Palamas and Meister Eckhart are the most important saints.

Theology only makes sense if you know God

This is unfortunately not necessary in various sects, anyone can say anything and have authority

I certainly agree with that statement. Just don't demand that others view things exactly the same way we do. I personally believe in Christian Liberty, as set forth in Galatians...

Galatians
5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
5:2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
5:3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
5:5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
5:7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
5:8 This persuasion [cometh] not of him that calleth you.
5:9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
5:10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
5:11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
5:12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

There are members on here who have been on for ages who have not been banned. There are guidelines here and sometimes we are not privy to all the info the Mods have on people here. As long as we stay within the guidelines and don't promote any questionable doctrine we will not have to worry about being banned.
