Personal profile for user screen name: RoaringLamb The earliest I can recall believing in Christ is 1964. I was baptized the next year. For years, like most everyone else, I believed what I was taught, without question, without examination as to whether it made sense. My beliefs affected many choices I made in life, but only served to make me feel good about myself, as compared to others who seemed to be worse than me.Over 20 years later, I was faced with questions on what I REALLY believed, when called upon in Church services to read aloud with the congregation a statement of our beliefs. I realized that not everything written therein did I really believe! Soon, I realized that much of what I believe was flatly contradicted by the Bible. So, over the next several years - and to this day - I underwent the painful (in the beginning) process of examining all my beliefs by the word of God - rather than what I was spoon-fed all my life. I found that MOST people believe what they are taught by parents, pastors, books, etc., without ever bringing it under scrutiny of the Word - that, indeed, many of Christendom's most cherished doctrines are in conflict with the Bible. And, throughout history, those who uphold the pure Word of God have suffered persecution from those who presume to be the true keepers of truth - persectuion that includes everything from censure and being overruled by majority opinion to execution. Therefore, I expect to be on the minority side of many of the issues discussed in this forum. But I pray that the Spirit of Christ will rule every heart - including mine - in all exchanges. As for that, originally, painful process: My greatest joy has been found in humbly submitting myself to the CORRECTION of God's Word, admitting where I am wrong, and discovering the GOOD NEWS of the Word - which is FAR BETTER than the "other gospel" Paul cautioned had already begun even in his day.
