The means of salvation

We were having a discussion in our church’s training school a while back regarding baptism. The question was regarding what to do if a person “accepts” Jesus as saviour, but doesn’t want to follow through with baptism. The issue I raised in my answer was that of the issue of legitimate regenerative experience, to which everyone looked at me in disbelief at the very thought of questioning someone’s salvation.

Facetime Lies – Part 3

I was at Taco Cabana sitting across the table from a friend of mine a while back and during our conversation and meal he posed a question that shocked me a bit. It went like this, “I mean we’re not gonna need our bodies in heaven, right?”  I wouldn’t have been shocked had it been someone who wasn’t raised around the church and had simply caught onto some odd cultural view of heaven, but this was someone who was raised around the church and grew up learning about the bible. OK, so what does this have to do with FaceTime? You ask. Well, I’ll go into that a bit further down, Continue reading “Facetime Lies – Part 3”

 “To me there will never be enough thanks to give, words high & deep enough to give to the Lord. I don’t know how to give back to God what He deserves than to just worship with my life and every part of me.

Paul said that “everything is permissible” but not necessarily “beneficial” and that he would not be “controlled” by anything. So with that being said, let’s look at our actions, like smoking and drinking. It is clear that scripture says nothing Continue reading “Grace or Law?”

So, this is my first post. I decided to be a nonconformist and refused to create one of these. However, as time passed I began to see the good of having a blog in order to update people, dialog through thoughts, and share your general outlook on life. I don’t know if any good will come out of it yet but I hope so. Continue reading “Mustering through my heretical thoughts”
