1 | Can I come home again, or apostate? | Not Specified | GJH | 60882 | ||
Please, I want to know if I was a believer when a teenager, and over the years became a unbeliever, and now believes again, can I come home again? Had been a Catholic, met Jesus on retreat as teenager, over years became convinced that all religion wasn't real. Would argue with believers that Jesus was no more than a myth. Now have come to be convinced that Jesus is the Christ. Would like to be forgiven, but concerned about the references in Heb 6:4-8 and Heb 10 about not being able to come back. Is that true? If people actually did commit this unpardonable sin, do they spend the rest of their lives regretting it, only to be filled with a " fearful expectation of judgement? I'm desperate for an answer. Please help. If this isn't the place to ask such questions, I'm sorry. |

2 | forgiveness confirmed? | Not Specified | GJH | 61117 | ||
Back on 9/12 I posted my first question. I asked if I had possibly lost my chance at salvation, through committing an unpardonable sin. The encouragement received through the responses was wonderful. It had ended a three year struggle. Now, only a few days later, my joy has been replaced by a fear that I seem incapable to fight. The question is, am I supposed to experience something definative to confirm that my relationship with the Lord has been restored? It seems to me that there should be. Any comments would be appreciated, it's been a long day. | ||||||

I have been reading today's postings from Radioman. I have been using this forum since 9/15/02. My questions have not been learned. They have covered subjects like Heb 6. If I have used this forum wrongly, I sincerely apologize. My questions, though redundant, were intended to generate, hopefully, some good advice, hoping someone more experienced would say something that would end my struggle. Would someone please be so kind, am I using this wrongly? | ||||||

Steve, I thank you for your response too. Two others have responded as well. All are encouraging. My past is certainly more complicated. The bottom line is, can I go home? Your choice of the phrase "now that your heart has been renewed to repentance meant a lot to me. Thank you. |

Inmyheart, I thank you for your response. The re-assurance you have provided is priceless to me. The four responses I've received, three from yesterday and yours from today have really encouraged my heart. Thank you for the Welcome Home, it's great not to be afraid, it's been a long time. Praise Jesus for His Mercy | ||||||
13 | Can I come home again, or apostate? | Luke 15:24 | GJH | 61029 | ||
Dear Pemican Thank you for taking the time to present the very helpful explanation of that portion of Hebrews for me. I have saved your response. I am certainly extremely encouraged by those who have taken the time to do so. Knowing Jesus as much as is possible for any human being is my hearts desire. I have a lot to learn, but I do know that there is nothing, absolutely nothing more important to me. You have been a blessing to my recovering spirit. Thank you once again. Your brother in Christ - GJH |

Inmyheart, If I have blessed you by my gratitude, I am thankful. The blessing is mine too. When someone takes the time to give to the "least of these" it makes my heart soar with anticipation of the path before me. I have longed so long, and anguished so much, it is so much like having a cold drink when you are parched from thirst. I can't begin to describe the relief to know I can come home again. Thank you again. Your brother in Christ - GJH |

17 | Salvation is of the Lord... | 1 John 1:1 | GJH | 61129 | ||
JRdoc, Thank you for responding. Please, explain "Salvation is of the Lord!". Do you mean that it is the Lord who initiates the desire to come back? If so, what must I do to be sure of my salvation? Is it true that I must believe despite a total lack of any proof or confirmation or conversion experience? I thought the Spirit confirms with our spirits that we are sons. That sounds experiential to me. | ||||||

20 | forgiveness confirmed? | 1 John 1:1 | GJH | 61291 | ||
Emmaus, I want to thank you for your response, once again. You're correct in pointing out that there are certainly varying degrees of emotional reactions, and the absence or lack of one doesn't negate the value of an intellectual one. But just as emotions are not true barometers, sometinmes they are real indicators of very real warning that something is not quite right. It's just not clear to me which my experiences or lack thereof means. My concern is, on the bottom line, can a man be presumptuous in assuming God's forgiveness, when in truth, things are not right. I know the remark probably seems strange, but it's the thought that makes my fear have legs. Maybe, He just wants me to trust without any evidence. Maybe, my feelings are accurate and I shouldn't quit trying to settle things with Him. Maybe I'm just letting my fears get the best of me. Somehow, I just think that if my son was afraid I didn't love him anymore, I'd certainly let him know that I did. | ||||||
