Subject: Can A Christian disown Christ? |
Bible Note: Dear Sir Pent, I thank you for posting your most stirring testimony and for filling in some of the gaps for me! This was indeed a joy to read after a day such as this, my friend! Yes! I can and will attest that you were and are most definitely a Spirit filled Christian!! :) And I am honored and just ecstatic to know that I can fellowship with you here on a daily basis about Biblical issues! Little did you know back then, when we were at that young age together, you were an inspiration to me! But I simply wasn't ready yet to take the "plunge", if you know what I mean, and I am sure that you do. :) I just didn't realize at that time that you had to throw your whole body, soul, and spirit into this thing called "Christianity" and let Christ claim your whole being.. But the Lord revealed that to me during my journey with Him, and I have no regrets, although I do wish that my family never moved away from yours, my friend!! We could have been excellent together, sharpening each other in the faith! But our Lord meant for us to take slightly different paths, having both paths arrive at the exact same desired end- to be truly and wholeheartely saved with every confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ! You are the greatest of all my childhood friends and you and your family will never be forgotten as long as I continue to live. I also remember some of our mutual friends who have also taken different paths, some of which were Jeremy, Eric and Byron. However, I am convinced that you were the one who knew me best! I sincerely cannot picture you as an atheist, and I am sorry that I could not have been more of an inspiration to you during this time in your life. But I praise the Lord that He led you back and into a "fuller" understanding of Him! Each person must take a different path, no one takes the same path in their spiritual journey.. You continue to be a source of inspiration for me, and I pray that I may also be to you, my dear friend. You are responsible for recently "re-igniting" my enthusiasm for this Forum, since I was at a "low point" when you joined us, and I pray that we could continue to grow together again and enjoy the inspiration of each other! I love you and all of your family, and I keep you all in my prayers. Your Brother in Christ and forever friend, Nolan E. Keck P.S. Oh by the way, I still like Star Trek also.. :-) |
