Bible Answer: I don't know how confidential that these answers will be on a public forum, but here goes: 1. Yes. 2. Jesus died to pay the penalty for my sin 2000 years ago. When I was 10 or 11, the Holy Spirit made me aware of that fact and persuaded me to put my trust in Christ alone for trhat forgiveness and for eternal life. 3. Presbyterian Church in America (http://www.pcanet.org) 4. I have not been confirmed in the Catholic/Orthodox sense of the word. 5. Prayer, sitting under the preaching of His Word, reading the Bible for myself. 6. Every Sunday. 7. That my right standing with God the Father comes from Him, by His grace alone, through faith alone in Christ alone (His sinless life, substitutionary death on the Cross, and His resurrection). My sin is forgiven, and God has put Christ's perfect righteousness, earned during His life on earth, to my account. 8. My sins have been forgiven. I am indwelt by the Holy Spirit. I am able to please God (Romans 8:7; Hebrews 12:2). I am assured of eternal life with God because of what Christ accomplished on my behalf. I will not be going to Hell. In short, what makes me different from a non-Christian is that I won't be getting what I deserve, thanks to God's mercy (Titus 3:5). 9. A disciple is a follower of Jesus Christ. 10. Yes, I am a disciple of Christ...a very imperfect one, but a disciple nonetheless. 11. If you are asking if I have ever offended God, absolutely....daily. I cannot remember any specific examples of trying to prevent the message of Christianity from being proclaimed. 12. Of course. --Joe! |
