Subject: baptismal regeneration - true or false |
Bible Note: Dear New Creature. Please do not feel sorry. Lets grow through this for Gods Glory. Lets focus on what we have in common! We have the Lord Jesus Christ. May I sugest the division that Jesus refered to was not among Christians. In fact there are several warnings not to cause division in the Body of Christ. lCor.12:25, Rom. 17:17, lCor.1:10, l Cor. 11:18. We are warned in Titus 3:10 to warn a divisive person. We are to be differnt than the unsaved world. We are told to let our love for other christians so show that the worldly will know we are different. I know you will agree that to be in this world, we are divided from the world by our faith in Christ. I personally have suffered because I refuse to go along with what was expected of me from a godless group of neighbors. We are pilgrams, not of this world. However God has blesssed me with more of the worlds tempoary possitions, to use for His Glory. We are not wealthy by any means. But God abundantly has supplied us with more than our needs. This was not always the case. We know what blessed are the poor means, as well. I personally spent one year in a Navy Hospital, being told I would not live. I saw no one who cared, except the Salvation Army who visited and gave me things to make me comfortable, thank God! I had over 50 spinal taps, over 300 IV bottles, My health was changed forever. I am 100 percent disabled. For Gods glory I am what I am. I was a mean unsaved person, back in 1968. I can tell you if Jesus can save me, then Jesus can save and spiritual heal anyone who is willing to repent and make Jesus Lord! I prayed out loud in a bath tub to change me or to let me go. Jesus took me, naked as when I was born, and by a strange coinsidense, as wet, as my physical birth. Jesus saved me! I was born again in the bath tub in 1983! I get shivers all over when I see how Jesus changed a rock hard hearted person to a tender soft hearted child of the King Jesus. Thank You Lord for what I do not deserve! I hope my sharing a part of my life will open you thinking to see how God works with us all not in the same way. Pray for me, and I will pray for you. Let there never be a nother unkind word be said by us to each other. That is my prayer. agape, just me |
