You may very well be a theist but you still need to be Born Again in order to get into Heaven when you die.

God is faithful/sleepless to watch over His Word to perform it for the believer and not for the unbeliever or doubter or the one with little faith! 

 I do believe that there is a difference between "losing" your salvation and "walking away" from your salvation!

 Adam went from life to death and so did Lucifer and so can we if we don't guard our hearts with diligence which the Bible is very clear throughout the whole Bible, Old Testament and New Testament Saints

 All of us are born with the sin and death nature via procreation which is why we need to experience the New Birth via Regeneration and/or Recreation!

 In Second Corinthians 5 it says that God reconciled mankind to himself but then he tells us to go and urge people to be reconciled to God and this is not a contradiction but a paradox. Anything God has already given and done for us at the cross is something that was given and done, only positionally, meaning it has to be received by believing and if it's not received by believing it will not become effective and efficacious in the life of a person which is why universalism is one of the top heresies of all heresies. Fair warning to all of those who spew universalism under the umbrella of Grace

 There is a great difference between speaking the truth in love and speaking the truth in hatred yet even when you do speak the truth in love people will still call it hate speech because they don't love the truth. Thank you Jesus

 Reformed Theology is Deformed Theology

 It is always God's will to heal the sick since he has already healed the sick positionally of the cross, by his stripes we were healed but this is a positional truth that has to be believed in order to be received, and unfortunately we have many of those who claim to believe yet they were not in faith but in little faith or underdeveloped faith and not being fully persuaded of something that God had already done for them at the cross

 the majority of people that call themselves Christians worldwide or nowhere near walking in Romans 8:14, not even close to it because if they were they'd be walking in what Jesus walked according to acts 10:38. Also God has given us Ephesians 4:11 and 1st Corinthians 12:28 including what is written in first and second Timothy and Titus called the Pastoral Epistles as leaders and yes I said leaders because we all need leaders in our lives within the Body of Christ and where God wants to have us. If you don't have the same works that Jesus had you're nowhere near walking and being led by the Spirit of God, so before you go on spewing such nonsense and rubbish, I would take a very close look to what the Word says about church government and how God wants to govern his Church the Body of Christ the New Creation through different individuals and their giftings especially in light of 1 Corinthians 12 and the whole chapter. I'll be the first one to admit most of those who are called leaders in our churches today are not qualified nor fit to be leaders but this is man's doing and not God's doing. Let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater like you're doing.

 Christian universalism is a heresy and will be dealt with extremely severely on that Great Day

 We are to become living Epistles to be read of all Mankind but those Epistles need to be sown inside of us first.

 absolutely, very well said, the holy spirit is instrumental in carrying out the Plan of Redemption in the life of The Sinner beginning with the conviction of sin John 16:8-9, the Holy Spirit has been given to the world as well as to the church and when I say the world I mean all of the world meaning unlimited atonement like you mentioned, not all but most of our Evangelistic efforts have been fruitless because of the lack of the power and workings of the Holy Spirit

 Eternity awaits us all: Eternal Life or Eternal Death. It's your choice therefore choose wisely while there's still time.

 to atheists who are without God in this world Ephesians 2:12, the Holy Bible is full of fables and myths and superstitions but once they die the Holy Bible comes alive full of realities but then of course it's too late,

 if God was not compassionate we'd all be in hell today, God is Not holding your sins against you at this time giving you opportunity to repent before you breathe your last breath, you can mock God all you want but once you stand before him it will be too late to beg him to let you into his heaven even though he's willing to forgive your mocking while you are still alive on this Earth, the problem with atheists is that they don't understand the seriousness of sin and the consequences but those of us who are born again we understand it because we were at one time atheists going to hell but when the goodness of God showed up in our lives in different ways of course that's what enabled us to repent from our atheism and to turn towards God and believe in him and his word and his love for us, easy peasy.

 It's more than credited unto us we are actually the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus regarding that new nature we receive when we are born again through the Regeneration of our human spirit

 Have you ever heard of the new birth or being born again or being born of the Spirit or being born of God or being regenerated or being born of Incorruptible Seed? Have you ever heard of being in Christ Jesus the second Adam and no longer being in Union with the first Adam? Did you know when you were born again you received a new nature which is the very same nature that Jesus was born with according to his Humanity because your spirit was regenerated by the Holy Spirit and any sinning that takes place after that has to do with the unsaved soul an unrenewed mind according to Ephesians 4:22-24 in James 1:21 just for starters? Easy peasy. Why does the Apostle Paul address the believers as Saints meaning holy ones and no longer sinners? Have you ever heard of the term "sinning Saints" or "Saints that sin"? Why are we commanded to put off the old man and put on the new man once we are born again which was written to Saints and not sinners?

 The gospel of the kingdom is all about the gospel of the new birth of the new creation of the new Adam, easy peasy

 First of all Jesus was a whole lot more than just a Hebrew Messiah he was the second Adam the last Adam the new Adam of the new creation as the substitute for the first adam because of the fall of Man. The Apostle Paul talks about being in Christ meaning being in Union with Christ the second Adam via the new birth via the new nature and no longer in Union with the first Adam via the sin and death nature who is the Fallen Adam of the Fallen creation, no longer being born of corruptible seed but being born of incredible seed, easy peasy for those who take the time to read the Bible

 If you're struggling with your thought life that's simply on you because you've not put on the helmet of salvation which is mind renewal

 do you remember how Jesus spoke to his own disciples at times and do you remember how Jesus spoke to the Pharisees all the time? Maybe you should brush up your Bible studies before spewing such nonsense

 by the Holy Spirit the Apostle Paul penned 2 Corinthians 8:9, 2nd Corinthians 9:8, 1st Timothy 6:17-18 for starters, what about proverbs 13:22 b?? What about God and what he gave adam or mankind back in the garden before the fall of Man? Prosperity belongs to the believer but not the way these prosperity preachers preach it because their whole Doctrine is based upon tithes and offerings, sowing money to read money which only works for them and not for the givers, most prosperity preachers are charlatans yet I've learned not to throw out the baby with the bathwater, provision is based upon sonship as it is in the natural between the father and his children.

 There's a special place for people who don't like Jesus or God but that's not Jesus or God's doing but our own doing

 Actually Jesus did die for you but if you don't receive what he's done for you you will have to do it for yourself in the Lake of Fire and this is your own doing not God's doing

 Actually if you read the Bible very carefully which obviously you have not, the blame for all failures first and foremost are upon man meaning us meaning mankind meaning Humanity, abracadabra, easy peasy to understand for some and a great mystery for others

 Jesus was a whole lot more than a Jew He was the second Adam of the New Creation to replace and take the place of and become the substitute of the first yet fallen adam and the fallen creation. Easy peasy.

 We are introduced to the Triune God in Genesis when the Triune God said "let US make Man......."!

 I believe Adam was created looking at the age of the same age that Jesus left this Earth at the age of 33+, and I believe this is the age that we will have for eternity in our glorified bodies

 you been watching too many horror flicks, I've been in the word of God for over 30 years now for hours a day assimilating whole chapters and Epistles, praying hours a day walking with God talking with God ever since I was born of God in 1994, to the point where God made me an Apostolic International missionary and defender of the faith after working construction for 23 years. I've devoted my whole new life in Christ to the kingdom of God, I can pull out Greek and Hebrew and do laps around you, 5000 books all theological, Greek and Hebrew dictionaries, lexicons, commentaries, out of print books, you name them I have them but ultimately I don't rely on that I rely on my relationship with God and most importantly the indwelling Spirit the Spirit of Truth the One who inspired the Word of Truth, abracadabra, easy peasy hope that helps but probably not.

 even if it's not true Christians have got no business suing anybody, you forgive, you walk by faith and you move forward and what God has called you to do, suing is carnal it's of the flesh it's Tit for Tat it's retaliation it's worldly

 and there's more reference to judgment in the New Testament than there is in the Old Testament regarding the great white Throne judgment for the unrepentant and the Judgment seat of Christ for those who did repent and even with the Judgment seat of Christ there are those who will lose rewards and having Works burned up being saved as if by fire, and this is in the New Testament, easy peasy

 TO BELIEVE IN GOD AND TO BELONG TO GOD ARE VERY DIFFERENT!

 Until you die, and then you will find out that Jesus had nothing to do with religion nor the cross he died on has anything to do with religion nor the new birth had nothing to do with religion but reality, easy peasy on fair warning

 Jesus said and did many things and some of the things that he said and did most are not doing it even those who claim to know Jesus better than the other camp, so my question is who is healing The sick supernaturally, who is raising the dead, who is casting out demons, who is preaching the gospel of the Kingdom with miracle signs and wonders?? These are all things that Jesus showed love towards those who needed healing and deliverance. Liberal Theology and Progressive Christians says that Jesus told us to love sin for Jesus never told us to love sin yet he did tell us to love the sinner but in order to change his direction from living a life of sin towards a life of holiness, easy peasy

 If you're walking habitually in your true new identity in Christ you won't mess up. The reason Christians mess up and wallow in their mess is because they have not yet learned how to put off the old man and put on the new man according to Ephesians 4:22-24, just for starters

 Just because you cannot see the Creator of the universe does not mean he does not exist. Everything that we see on this planet was created and made by someone, planned by someone, inventions need blueprints and blueprints were created in order to create inventions, therefore the universe has a Creator and everything in the universe, easy peasy. The creator of the universe is invisible and not imaginary. The atheist cannot believe in God for the atheist is without God in this world according to Ephesians 2: 12 which literally has the Greek word "atheos" translated in English "without God" and the Word also tells us that the god of this world the devil Satan the evil one blinds the mind of unbelievers. Easy peasy for some of us who are Born of God to understand but for others it's a great mystery and even fairy tales. Everything we believe or don't believe has consequences especially in the long run. Make sure you believe right and not wrong before you die because eternity has no end nor ending.

 Denominational churches are pastoral churches and not Apostolic churches, Denominational churches are cessationist churches but the Church that Jesus built is Apostolic with all the Gifts of the Spirit intact and Church Governments found in Ephesians 4:11~16 and 1st Corinthians 12, just for starters

 Nice to have a lot of Bibles as I do also 5000 theological books Greek Hebrew dictionaries lexicons commentaries you name it I have them different Greek texts as well but you need to get the Bible inside of you assimilating whole Epistles which takes a lot of time so that the Holy Spirit will give you the right interpretation so that He can live the Bible through you so that we can become living Epistles to be read of all men and not just have a bunch of Bible sitting in our shelves, the word of God has been given to us in seed form Luke 8:11 so if you want to harvest of the word of God you better start sowing the word of God in order to produce the imagery of those seeds, easy peasy

 this is not a frivolous argument as you say, to you it may be but to many others it is very very critical in understanding many things especially when it comes to Creationism versus Evolution, I fully agree that we need to share the gospel more before Jesus returns and I do and we will be doing even more but this is a vital part of scriptures that needs to be addressed by people who know what they're talking about like Ken Ham and so many more, that's part of their calling so let them do what they are called to do and you do what you're called to do and I'll do what I'm called to do and things will work out

 this ministry the Lord has entrusted called missionary enterprises consists of equipping the Saints for the work of the ministry for the edification of the whole body of Christ, the book of Acts is still to be written today I've assimilated the whole book of Acts many times, the Great Commission I've taken it seriously from the first year I was born again 32 years ago starting with my own Jerusalem here in Oshawa Ontario Canada by the Lord's command I started to pass out tracks door to door for two and a half years which is when the Lord began to open doors to Europe and then eventually to Africa regarding the Great Commission as well as getting people healed and baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues,, I work with all kinds of churches in Africa and Asia, French and English, two YouTube channels bilingual, podcast bilingual French and English mostly in Asia starting with China, I can go on and on but I won't bore you, I was saved and set free at the age of 31 from drugs, alcohol, fornication, playing in rock bands, I got kicked out of four high schools but because of my praying mother for 16 years prayed for me it charismatic Catholic and once I got born again she left the Catholic Church and came and joined where I was at at that time which was more Pentecostal Evangelical, easy peas

 I never needed any scholar to prove to me or to tell me that the Bible was the word of Truth, within a few hours after being born again I asked for a Bible right away knowing very well that what I had known for years about the Holy Bible was actually the word of Truth and then within a few years the Holy Spirit on different occasions reminded me or reiterated what he had first revealed to me that the Holy Bible is the word of God, and yes I love to study I love to research I love to write having 5000 books in my library all theological etc.

 You mean Apostles of the Lamb but Apostles of Christ exists because anyone who is in Christ and being sent by Christ is an apostle of Christ easy peasy. that's not what Ephesians 4:11 and 1st Corinthians 12:28 teaches, and the Lord himself is the one who decides whom he calls to become apostles today or Prophets or evangelists or teaching pastors and so forth, we don't choose that just in case you did not know, he's Lord , we are not, and to misinterpret His holy Word is to misrepresent Him and we will give an account on that great day, fair warning

 Christ is for sinners and transforms them into Saints if you will let Him

 those of us who are born again meaning those of us who know better are on the straight and narrow path and not the broad path that leads to destruction. The very day and moment the Lord put me on the straight and narrow path I never looked backwards nor sideways but always forward, and the longer you stay on the straight and narrow path the more you will experience freedom from sin, freedom from unbelief, freedom from wrong believing, freedom from ignorance, freedom from the world's influence, freedom from wrong teaching and false teachers, and so much more. Thank you Jesus. You can call it whatever you want but once you die you're going to wish you had joined our cult even though it's not a cult it's called the Family of God being in Christ Jesus the second Adam and no longer in Union with the first fallen Adam, fair warning, mock all you want, the more people mock the more I enjoy my freedom from atheism and hedonism and paganism and every other isms out there

 Most of these preachers I do not listen to but I certainly have learned not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The law of faith is the only law that receives from the kingdom of God and something God has already done and given freely yet positionally to sinners and Saints alike. You're saved by faith, you're healed by faith, you're provided for by faith, you're strengthened by faith and so much more based upon his grace. Easy peasy. Thank you Jesus

 Jesus only did what he saw his father doing and that belongs to us, we are surrounded by needs and needy people and if you keep being moved by all those needs you're actually walking by sight and not by faith. If you keep meeting the needs of everybody around you they will eventually take advantage of you therefore you need to teach them how to receive from God for themselves

 Most Church governments are wrong, too much emphasis on leaders and not enough on the body, the Lord gave me that years ago.

 Why would I want to be one of God's friends when I'm one of His sons

 God gave Man THE Dominion back in the Garden of Eden and Man gave the dominion over to the god of this world but Jesus got it back for us for the New Creation, easy peasy, the Word of God even says that God ordained government to punish evil and to reward good, if that's not called Dominion I don't know what it is. AND I NEVER SAID GOVERNMENTS ARE DOING IT YET SOME HAVE AND ARE BUT IT'S STILL A FACT THAT GOD ORDAINED GOVERNMENTS TO BEGIN WITH AND THEY WILL CERTAINLY GIVE AN ACCOUNT LIKE WE WILL ALSO GIVE AN ACCOUNT FOR NOT HAVING DONE WHAT THE LORD EXPECTED OF US AS THE NEW CREATION THE FOUNDATION AND PILLAR OF THE TRUTH UPON THE EARTH.

 Brainwashing began back in the Garden of Eden and the Original Creation between the serpent and Adam & Eve before the Fall which led to the Fall and it's been going on ever since even within the New Creation

 Atheism is a belief because atheists believe that God does not exist nor Heaven or Hell nor the devil nor Judgment Day and so forth., yet those of us who are Born Again believe that God does exist, that's the difference, easy peasy

 The Wolves and Heretics are coming out in droves in the last days, and the biblically illiterate are their disciples. Of course, the ignorant and the gullible are the easy targets or in other words soft targets!

 Preterism, Calvinism, Cessationism, Universalism, Annihilationism, all different of course but all heresies

 Atheists and those who spew Liberal Theology and Progressive Christianity are the best of the best cherry pickers when it comes to the Holy Bible/Word of God, but they won't be cherry-picking when they stand before God on that Great and Dreadful Day

 no contradictions in the Word of God, you're just not qualified to interpret scriptures properly because you are void of the Holy Spirit because you're not Born of the Spirit, contradictions are all in your brain cells

 It's easy to mock Jesus but let's see what Jesus thinks and says about that when you come face to face with Him on that Great and Dreaded and Awful Day

 You can't educate your spirit, once your spirit has been regenerated by the Holy Spirit you now have the very same Nature that Jesus was born with, what needs to be educated and renewed and transformed is your soul and not your spirit.

 There is an afterlife and this afterlife is eternal.

 Jesus talked about righteous anger and there's lots of reasons to be righteously angry about these days whether it's in the church or in the world, I read years ago an angered man is an awakened man

 I've said this a thousand times and I will keep on saying it , there is Nothing wrong with prosperity, just go back into the garden before the fall of Man what God gave mankind but man gave it over to the serpent the god of this world Luke 4:6 but Jesus got it all back for us 2 Corinthians 8:9, we need prosperity but not the way these prosperity preachers preach it though and that's the problem right there.

 Both of my family trees are all Catholic French Catholics and 90% of them are not even born again, my mom was the first to be born again and then she prayed for me for 16 years and then I was born again in 1994 at the age of 31 and then my sister got born again and her son my nephew was born again and my dad was born again and they all left the Catholic Church, I'm not saying there are no Catholics that are born again because my mom was one of them she was a charismatic Catholic but she eventually left and joined a charismatic Evangelical Church and that's where she really grew spiritually

 we no longer have the sin and death nature because we have the new nature but the sin issue is with the soul and mind that needs transformation and renewing according to Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:22-24, James 1:21 for starters

 There is no such thing as true happiness or fulfillment outside of or apart from God.

 no, the real inherent problem is atheist who are without God in this world Ephesians 2:12 trying to understand the Bible, and then of course we do have Christians who do misinterpret scriptures starting with preachers.

 The Peace of and from God helps tremendously to hear God and get His instructions and encouragement in our time of great need!

 All these Facebook Groups and their redundant posts but who's actually winning the lost, healing The sick, driving out demons, raising the dead, supernaturally feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, giving shelter to the homeless??? Isn't that the Gospel of the Kingdom that Jesus preached and demonstrated and commanded His disciples/followers to imitate and do likewise?

 Once you step into eternity you will not be able to change course, so make sure you're going in the right direction beforehand

 It's time that we expose false prophets, false preachers, false teachers, false Doctrine, Heretics and their heresies, but it has to be the Truth and not just an opinion or disagreement, meaning it has to be done by the Holy Spirit.

 Why would anyone waste their time warning people about Hell and how to avoid it, being hated and mocked for it if Hell wasn't true?

 According to James 1:27, religion is not all that bad, actually we could use a little bit more of this kind of religion

 I'm a charismatic, I believe in faith, I believe in the apostolic, I believe in miracles signs and wonders and so forth but I'll be the first one to admit that the Charismatic Church the Word of Faith Camp and the New Apostolic Reformation Camp needs a good spanking and lots of pruning in order to produce proper fruit for the Kingdom of God before we run out of time

 it's amazing, we have the Spirit of Truth, Jesus is the truth, Thy word is truth, the church is to be the pillar and stalwart of the truth. I believe in love because it's love that saved me and I had a Praying Mother who prayed for me for 16 years because of her love for me but there seems to be an over emphasis especially by the those who spew liberal Theology and Progressive Christianity to espouse love and Only Love above everything else.

 Unbelief is the greatest obstacle between God and Man, even Jesus said when the Spirit comes He will convict the world of sin which is the sin of unbelief John 16:8-9

 don't waste your time because you won't find it and if you do find it it will be twisted, the only reason we have false teachers which includes Calvinists is because we've done that to ourselves and not God, God allows what we allow, people who claim to have the truth have not given themselves over to the Spirit of Truth to teach the truth the way He wants to teach it and that's a problem right there, Calvinism cessationism is full of false Doctrine but my camp which is charismatic we have our own false doctrines unfortunately, but they're different, yet false is false

 of course the devil believes in God but it's not saving faith, the devil lives in the invisible realm where God is, the devil was created by God as Lucifer before he fell, of course he believes

 I used to think that myself, I was an atheist for 31 years, I had this guy I went to school with he was born again and he told me I was going to hell if I didn't get born again and I laughed at him, and about 4 years later I was born again by the conviction of sin John 16:8-9 because my mom had prayed for me for 16 years, so when I moved back to my hometown I phoned him right away to tell him the good news and we've rejoiced, easy peasy for some and fair warning for others

 How you spank or correct your child is no different than how you preach the gospel or anything else, Christian parents not only have access to the infallible Word of God when it comes to raising their children but they also have access to God's voice and leading by his Spirit in how to apply those verses.

 I've been saved for 32 years and I never thought for one second that women were not called to become Apostles or Prophets or Evangelists,........ according to Ephesians 4:11 yet I also believe in a plurality of leaders working together. The Holy Spirit is not restricted to gender like some say he is, yet I'll be the first one to admit that we have many women preachers today that I believe they are not well prepared and equipped for their calling and we have the same problem with men, especially those men that say that women are not called to full-time Ministry. Shame on them and they will give an account on that great day. According to acts 10:38 Jesus Himself did everything by the Spirit and that's not only the miracle, signs and wonders but that's the preaching and the teaching and so must it be with the women and men found in Ephesians 4:11 and even first Corinthians 12:28.

 And that's a command in the Bible because the Bible says darkness and Light have nothing in common, but I would say that anyone that leaves the faith were never of The True Faith meaning they were never truly Born of God Born again Born from above Born of Incorruptible seed, Regenerated. I was an atheist for 31 years and I was gloriously saved in 1994 through the conviction of sin John 16: 8-9 after my wonderful beautiful mother had prayed for me for 16 long years. And now I will be with her once it is my time to go Home to be with Jesus and to be with her and my father and my siblings who are all in Heaven now, thank you Jesus

 Buddhists like everybody else including Muslims, atheists and so forth needs to be Born Again in order to make it into Heaven when they die, the devil created Buddhism and many other false religions to distract people from the true Gospel which is the gospel of the kingdom of God the gospel that Jesus preached the gospel that the first disciples preached the gospel that the Holy Bible preaches.

 That right there is not a very smart post, it can be very very misleading and deceiving. The majority of the church worldwide has not taken the Word of God as seriously as it should have and it shows, and we will give an account of that on that great day, rest assured and fair warning. Just as an example it says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God meaning without the word of God there is no faith of God meaning you will never know nor believe what God knows and believes and I'll leave it at that for now.

 speaking the truth is being kind, it's the most loving thing a person could ever do, may not be done perfectly but if you're perfect go ahead show us the way, lead by example, critics are a dime a dozen, easy peasy

 I have all kinds of versions and translations and paraphrases, English and French and different languages including 5,000 books all theology, Greek and Hebrew dictionaries, lexicons, commentaries, volumes on reformation and reformers, revivals and revivalists, Awakenings and awakeners, translations and translators, you name it I got them and I'm still buying some but I spend hours a day every day in one Book called The Holy Bible assimilating whole Epistles building the imagery of those Epistles inside of me so that the Holy Spirit can teach me His Word so then when I open my mouth I will have the truth come out of my mouth and not half truths or falsehoods, easy peasy

 the Holy Spirit will never lead you to learn from the counterfeit preachings and doctrines of preachers but He will always lead you to His Word for thy Word is Truth and He is the Spirit of Truth, what we need and have always needed is preachers and teachers who only preach and teach the truth and He will see to it that the rest will to be taken care of itself

 God allows what we allow since he's given us the authority to stop the enemy as well as to stop sickness and disease and so many other things which is why he told us to put on the full armor of God yet most Christians have never put on the full armor of God because they don't even know how to put on the full armor of God so that they can resist the enemy in the evil day. Everybody's waiting for God to do something for them yet God has already told us what to do, what to believe which goes against heretical Calvinism and cessationism and reformed Doctrine

there's a big difference between condemning and judging yet most people think they're the same, we judge every day meaning we make decisions everyday from the very moment we wake up in the morning till we go to bed at night we're constantly making judgment calls,

 If you can't be honest with those around you and those around you can't be honest with you, you have superficial friendships.

 Some things you don't have to pray for, you just have to believe for it and even the things that you do have to pray for, if there's no faith God will not answer it and when you do pray for something, that has to be according to his will and all of this is found in the Holy Bible, easy peasy, the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing meaning the Holy Bible is foolishness and a bunch of fairy tales to those who are perishing, congratulations

 rules without relationship leads to Rebellion, many parents give rules to their children without a relationship and the children end up disrespecting , dishonoring and even hating their parents.

 God is not real to the atheist nor can He be real to the atheist because the god of this world the devil has blinded the mind of the atheist and the atheist is without God in this world Ephesians 2:12 /2nd Corinthians 4:4, easy peasy

 The moment you are born again the comic book will become the most important book in your life and just to prove to you how dense atheists are, every Christian at this time was an atheist before they became a Christian because everyone born is born atheist, I was an atheist for 31 years but I had a praying mother and she prayed for me for 16 years and I was gloriously born again and saved in 1994, the world of atheism behind me the Cross before me no turning back no turning back. I thank Jesus everyday for saving me from hell and he'll do it for you too if you'll humble yourself. God gives grace to the humble but he opposes the proud, easy peasy.

 there's no Jews nor Greek in Christ Jesus there are no Jews nor Gentiles in the new creation, get over it, obviously you leave out the genealogy of Jesus in The Gospel of Luke regarding Jesus being the second Adam, and the second Adam was not Jewish because the first Adam was not Jewish

 You have to do a whole lot more than just reading healing verses you have to meditate upon them day and night until you build the imagery of those verses inside of you so that you can become fully persuaded of them building the faith of God in your soul and once that takes place God will perform what you now believe and arefully persuaded of, God's word has been given to us in seed form Luke 8:11, I spent a few years every single day with my mom and for myself in healing verses and mom lived till 96 and I came out of some serious issues in my two legs and It wasn't easy peasy but I persevered according to Luke 8:15 and I got the victory. The Lord told me once battles are sour but victories are sweet

 the word psyche (PSYCHO-LOGY) is everywhere in the New Testament translated soul and even two synonyms in which we have are two Greek words "n o u s and "p h r e n" translated mind and intellect different translations of course, but even "p h r e n " we have schizo-phren-ia

 Self-righteous judgmental people are broken people, they just don't know it

 most of Paul's Epistles begin with the word Saints and this is translated holy ones in the Greek, the moment we are born again our spirit has been regenerated recreated by the Holy Spirit, we have the very same nature that Jesus was born with at His incarnation, but if there's any issues with continual sin or habitual sin such as sending Saints or Saints that sin, that would be found in the unsaved soul according to James 1:21 and the unrenewed mind according to Ephesians 4:22-24, for starters.

 Mocking sin is because you have no understanding of sin, the sinfulness of sin and the consequences of sin and what it takes to eradicate sin

 God does not allow the devil to touch us unless we allow him , we are the ones who allow him by not putting on the full armor of God. In other words, what we read in the Book of Job is not relevant for today. Get your theology straight.

 Jesus commanded his disciples to go into all the World of Nations and to make disciples of Nations and then of course the word of God says that God ordained government to punish evil and to reward good meaning government is God's idea and not man's idea, of course most governments are corrupt but government is still God having ordained it to begin with so let's pray for our government instead of criticizing it

 i've read the whole Bible & I don't live in the old testament but in the New Testament Post Cross & not Pre Cross! I live after the Ressurection as a New Creation in Christ & not as an old testament saint! To say that Apostles are not for today is to discredit much of what Jesus as the Chief Apostle/Sent One/Poimen etc. accomplished at the Cross regarding the Substitution! The word "sent" regarding Jesus as well as the Church is the Greek Word "Apostolos" so don't come & tell me that the Church is not be be "Apostolic"!

 After Jesus, the Apostle Paul was most probably the greatest man who ever lived on this planet!

 Don't let the culture surrounding you define you but you define the culture with the Culture of the Kingdom of Heaven and of God

 Calvinists believe and teach and spew that God ordained Lucifer to fall and then ordained Adam to fall, and that right there is the heresy of all heresies. In other words from that heresy proceeds all other heresies that they've managed to spew over the centuries. They've managed to grossly and erroneously misinterpret the Foundation of all foundations which is back in the Garden before the Fall of Man.

 Hebrews 9:27 it is appointed unto Man to die once only and then to face God in judgment, welcome to the afterlife and eternity

 Once you're Born Again having the indwelling Spirit of Truth the Bible comes alive as the Word of Truth but if you're not born again meaning you are still spiritually dead in your trespasses without God in this world (Ephesians 2) the Bible comes across as full of contradictions and fairy tales.

 Mankind is at the root and origins of all problems, not God.

 Your body will die that's for sure but your spirit and your soul will go on to be judged, either in the Great White Throne Judgment or the Judgment Seat of Christ, and yes I am living my life to the fullest as I travel the world sharing this gospel and by the way we do it for free, and we go where we are invited we don't shove it down people's throat as you may have suggested or implied, eternity is too long to be wrong

 God made me rich and wealthy first and foremost and then I was able to use that wealth for my calling because there's no difference between my life and my calling since they are the same and this should be for every believer because we don't belong to ourselves we belong to Him but he had to make me rich first in reality and not just positionally because God made mankind Rich back in the garden before the fall and because of the Fall, all that wealth was transferred over to the god of this world according to Luke 4:6 but Jesus got it all back for us at the cross according to Colossians 1 :20 to 22 and now it's up to us to appropriate what belongs to us in Christ but it has to be appropriated by faith. And no, I'm not a Prosperity preacher but God has taught me how to prosper the way God was able to prosper George Mueller of Bristol, we all have a calling to fulfill in the Body of Christ and the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous proverbs 13:22 because the wealth of the wicked does not belong to the wicked but to God and anything that belongs to God belongs to Christ because Christ the second Adam is in Union with God and anyone who is in Union with Christ the second Adam has access to that wealth

 Believing what God believes is not easy but it is very doable via Mind Renewal.

 the law of faith or the law of believing what God believes is the greatest law that exists in the universe Romans 3:27, Faith puts God to work at saving, healing, delivering, providing, guiding just to name a few

 There was no such thing as "atheism" before the Fall of Man meaning "atheism" is one of the many consequences of the Fall of Man!

 Grace is appropriated by faith and by faith alone, no faith no Grace no Grace hell. Faith receives Grace and grace keeps you out of hell and puts you into heaven, easy peasy

 the Bible as we know it is a masterpiece, there's nothing else more accurate when it comes to history, the afterlife, the invisible realm, the creator of the universe and of mankind just to name a few things, but until you're born again the Bible will be come across as nonsense and as fairy tales like it did for me before I was born again and even once you are born again you will need to give yourself over to the Holy Spirit who is the one who inspired the Bible. Easy peasy

 the Christian's greatest enemy is not the enemy the devil but our flesh the old man that needs to be crucified and put off according to Ephesians 4:22 to 24 in James 1:21 for starters

 True Faith and believing always has works, easy peasy, even unbelief has works including doubt and wavering

 According to Calvinism God does everything but according to God's Word we have our part to play because it's part of a relationship, it's reciprocal

 Eternal security has been made available for the whosoevers but every whosoever has the choice to turn away from it if they choose to do so

 answering to Jesus is one thing but answering to Jesus in the great white Throne judgment and then finding out your name is not in the Lamb's Book of Life and then to be thrown into Lake of Fire for eternity is quite something else I could never ever fathom for my own life, thank God for the new birth thank you Jesus

 Jesus said a lot of things and I do mean a lot of things, we have four Gospels and then we have the book of Acts and then we have all the Epistles and then the book of Revelation, maybe you should read a little bit more before quoting just one verse that Jesus said. Did you know that Jesus said you need to be born again in order to enter the kingdom of God? Did you know that Jesus said that those who believed in him would be saved and those who did not believe in him would be damned? And to many this would be considered hate speech

 The best thing that you could ever tell a sinner is to warn them about a place called hell and telling them how to avoid this place. Love warns. A few years before I was born again someone I went to school with for years who got saved/born again told me I was going to hell if I was not born again not only once but twice he told me that on two different occasions and of course during that time I didn't mock him but I did not take him seriously but a few years later on I did get saved radically saved through the conviction of sin and once I was saved my mom told me that she had been praying for me for 16 years and then during that moment where I got saved in 1994 at the age of 31 the Holy Spirit made it very clear to me that if I died in my present condition I would not go to heaven and I knew that hell was the other option, the Holy Spirit made that very clear to me and I will be eternally grateful to God for what he did for me on that day, you mentioned love your neighbor and your enemy and that's very true but what about the rest of the Bible what about the rest of the New Testament and what it has to say unless you're a cherry picker which the church is full of cherry pickers also meaning they are really good at having selective hearing.

 The Love of God and the Fear of God are both scriptural, extremely scriptural.

 I believe in hell, I got born again by the conviction of sin John 16:8-9 in within 30 seconds I saw my condition before God and I knew that I knew without a shadow of a doubt that if I died in this condition I would not be going to heaven and I knew there was only another option which was hell and later on I found out that my mother had prayed for me for 16 years and before I was born again I had a friend who was born again and he told me if I was not born again I would go to hell. Just recently in my time with the Lord the Lord told me that the torments in hell are a fraction compared to what Jesus endured at the cross

 Sound Theo-logy and sound Doctrine are synonymous, get that straight. Theology is the study of God, pneumatology is the study of the Holy Spirit, christology is the study of Christ, soteriology is the study of salvation, and so forth.

 back in the Garden before the Fall but not after the Fall, everything we have today is not of God even read Genesis 6 before the global flood, great similarities with what we have today and then read Matthew 24:21, all of this is man-made not God made..

 The doctrine of human depravity is not the most hated doctrines because the doctrine of Calvinism is the most hated Doctrine by those who know better. God is not the author of human depravity, man is. God is not the one who ordained man to be depraved. God created man in his own image and his own likeness and this is what he had in mind for all of mankind. The fall of Man was not ordained by God because God allows what we allow having told us what to do and not to do and warning us of the consequences but cannot do those things for us. Easy peasy

 The wolves in sheep's clothing will be very different in these last of the last days, more sophisticated and more nefarious unlike any other generation

 Hebrews 11:1 faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of Things Not Seen, atheism is found in Ephesians 2:12 with the Greek word atheos translated in English 'without God", look in the mirror and you'll have all the evidence you need of an invisible creator since you did not create yourself and yes your parents created you via procreation But ultimately mankind came into existence via the self-existing self-sufficient creator of the universe

 Jesus talked about judging with righteous judgment and he also said before you attempt to remove the speck in your brother's eye you need to remove the plank in your own eye in order to avoid hypocritical judgment. Easy peasy. Before I was born again I was a fornicator, and that means I slept around with a lot of girls because I was playing in rock bands and I also indulged in self gratification if you know what that means, and the moment I experienced a conviction of sin John 16:8-9 everything changed, I repented from my sinful living and was gloriously saved and born again and I never went back to my vomit in the last 32 years, easy peasy

 I guess you forgot about first Corinthians 14:2 to 4 for starters, speaking to God and not man, speaking mysteries and edifying yourself, those who criticize tongues don't have the gift of tongues meaning they don't know what they're talking about, I received the gift of tongues not too long after I was born again at the age of 31 in my bedroom while waiting upon the Lord while sitting upon my bed and reading His Word

 there's no Jews nor Greek in Christ Jesus there are no Jews nor Gentiles in the new creation, get over it, obviously you leave out the genealogy of Jesus in The Gospel of Luke regarding Jesus being the second Adam, and the second Adam was not Jewish because the first Adam was not Jewish

 Trust God when u can't see the road ahead since He knows the way

There is a place to criticize but I'm discovering the biggest criticizers are the biggest do-nothings in the Kingdom of God

 The number one thing you need to make sure of is that you are Born Again in order to get into Heaven when you die which is what Jesus taught and also right through the Epistles it talks about the need to be Born of God, Born of the Spirit, Born from Above, Born of Incorruptible Seed, Regenerated.

 Just learn to walk in your sonship and the gifts will come naturally

 He's not in control of everything, that's Calvinism that's reformed faith that's heresy, God allows what we allow, easy peasy, the only time that God is in control of any situation is when He's able to work through somebody's faith because Faith puts God to work at accomplishing His will

 It's impossible to be Born Again apart from having the Holy Spirit because He's the One who regenerates your human spirit so that He can indwell your human spirit taking residence in you and that's when you become His Temple, you moron, so to say not all Christians have the Holy Spirit is a false statement!

 The true sense of the fear of God is the awe of God because God and God Alone is Awesome, He is the Self-existing Uncreated One

 that's a bunch of Bologna because if that was true it would have said God so loved the whosoever believes but that's not what it says he says God so loved the world and within that world there are those who will believe and those who will not believe but that's man's doing and not God's doing, easy peasy

 When it comes to God's Word, unbelief as well as wrong believing, doubting and wavering and ignorance are all enemies when it comes to Faith

 Let the Word of God define atheism for you: in Ephesians 2:12 we have the Greek word atheos translated in English without God, easy peasy. And once you are born again or born of God you are no longer without God but with God by being in Union with Jesus Christ the second Adam

 The reason most Christians are not witnessing or being a good witness for their Lord and His Kingdom is because they're still living out of the old man and not out of the new man, easy peasy

 If you don't read the Bible for yourself you'll get your satisfactory answer once you're in the Lake of Fire because only then you will understand the true nature of sin and the consequences

 The Lord told me years ago truth trumps love, God is love that's for sure and God so loved the world but God's word is truth, Jesus is the truth, the holy spirit is a spirit of Truth, the church is to be the Pillar of Truth, the truth will make you free once you know the truth, just for starters

 The word of God says the fool says in his heart there is no God and then the Apostle Paul wrote the message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, and don't forget the word atheist comes from the word atheos which is found in Ephesians 2:12 translated in English without God and also the word of God says that the god of this world the devil blinds the mind of unbelievers

 Besides the Holy Bible there are no other Holy books but only Unholy books, you need to understand the true sense of the word Holy

 as long as there are people that are Born of the Spirit the Holy Spirit is there no matter what but what we need is the Holy Spirit being Lord over that local Church

 it is God's will to heal because he's already healed us all positionally at the cross but the problem is with us and not God, the church especially charismatics and Word of Faith are full of unbelieving believers, hope that helps, and I'm not a Bill Johnson fan or a Bethel fan whatsoever but I am Charismatic and Word of Faith and Apostolic

 There's a difference between being wealthy and greedy and even when it comes to being wealthy it all depends how you become wealthy and how you use your wealth

 There's a lot of bad Christians out there but saying that the atheists are doing a better job at following Jesus you actually have no clue what you just said because to follow Jesus is to die to self take up your cross and follow him, preaching the gospel of the Kingdom to the Lost, Healing The Sick, casting out demons, raising the Dead just to name a few

 I wish more people would understand what you just said. I read years ago and I made a big poster out of it: adversity introduces a man to himself meaning it's when we go through adversity or face adversity that we really find out what we're really made out of. Not always but many times we are our worst enemy yet we seem to tend to blame everybody else around us and sometimes there is a place for that but we need to start with the mirror

 we are part of the Body of Christ which is made up of many different members with different giftings and we need to learn to work together and a big part of learning to work together is depending upon each other to get the work done with our different giftings

 The Holy Bible the Word of God affects the spirit, soul and body of Man.

 Too many preachers live double lives: they act holy when they're preaching but their private lives are full of scandals

 He may have been a hero at one time but he became a traitor, this happens all the time, in our time but also in history, going from good to bad yet we also have going bad to good, either way all of this will show up in the Judgment Day, fair warning

 the word of God is very clear that you can walk away from your savior and in walking away from your savior over a period of time you can walk away from your salvation and if you walk away from your salvation you will lose your salvation if you don't get back to your savior before you die, this is why there's so many warnings and imperatives in the New Testament

 actually there's four types of people in the world, those who are saved, those who are not saved, those that think they are saved yet they're not saved and those that were saved and walked away from their salvation by walking away from Jesus and when you walk away from Jesus you lose your salvation, easy peasy

 That's hilarious because Jesus saved all of mankind at the cross yet positionally, and I'm not promoting universalism. They need to hear the gospel and those who receive it will be saved and those who do not receive it will be damned but he has already saved everybody positionally at the cross in the same way that he has already healed everybody at the cross, yet positionally meaning it has to be believed and received in order for it to become efficacious and effective, easy peasy

 the invisible realm opened up to me and became a great reality the moment I was born again in 1994 and it can be for you also if you will humble yourself and set aside your pride and arrogance

 every Christian was an atheist at one time because we're all born atheists so therefore in order to become a Christian you have to experience a miracle which is the miracle of the new birth or called regeneration of the human spirit by the Holy Spirit Titus 3:5

 Why do people get mad at God when bad things happen yet the Bible is very clear that the devil is the one who came to steal kill and destroy. God is not the thief but the devil is, he's a killer and a destroyer.

 Define growth, the church is made up of God's people the body of Christ so if they're growing up spiritually yes there is growth but if they're not growing up spiritually but just in numbers that's not growth according to God but only according to man

 once we're born again we no longer have a sin nature but a new nature which is a very same nature that Jesus was born with according to his Humanity, easy peasy

 Those who don't believe in what the Bible says about God, the invisible realm are living in spiritual death and darkness

 Warning people about Hell and the Lake of Fire is not fear-mongering but truth-mongering

 Most of what you've seen and what you see presently out there called Christianity is not what it should be, unfortunately, it's a misrepresentation of what it should look like and sound like, and if you read the Bible very closely especially the New Testament you would know that for yourself

 We certainly don't hear much about courtship these days and this is the exact word the Lord used with me years ago telling me that courtship is a time of transparency

 Your New Identity in Christ the New Adam of the New Creation has nothing to do with your nationality, your skin color nor your culture.

 Ignore God's warnings and imperatives @ your own peril & destruction!

 Most Christians that are married are not fit for marriage, they've never allowed God to deal with their issues before they got married and many Christians marry the wrong person

 you're spewing universalism and that right there is one of the top heresies of all heresies, everything Jesus did at the cross he did it for all of mankind called unlimited atonement, Jesus saved all of mankind, yet positionally, meaning they have to hear the good news as well as receive what he's done for them and if they don't receive it by being born again they will be spending eternity in the Lake of Fire with the god of this world, I suggest you read Romans 10 as well as 2nd Corinthians 5 because the Apostle Paul makes it very clear that people need to receive the Gospel and if they don't receive it they will die in their trespasses and you need to read all of the other Epistles as well as what Jesus said about the need to be born again to enter the kingdom of God, obviously you're not born again, I experience John 16:8-9 the conviction of sin in 1994 and that is when I was gloriously born again, regenerated, born of Incorruptible seed, in 1994 I received something that Jesus did for me at the cross positionally.

 God is never the problem, never, God allows what we allow, he tells us what to do what not to do or what to believe and not to believe, but that's up to us to do it and if we don't, there are consequences! that's the problem with a lot of the people in the church, they expect God to do certain things where God expects us to do certain things first, the Holy Bible especially the New Testament since we are post cross is full of commands and imperatives and things that God expects us to do and if we don't do those things then there are consequences since God won't do them for us, I'm not a calvinist meaning I don't believe that God is sovereign and in control of everything meaning there are many things that God expects from me and the rest of his children in the same way that parents expect certain things from their children, and one of those things is to grow up and get with God's program

 We became evil meaning we were not created evil since we were created in God's image but because of the fall of Man we became evil and full of darkness, just read Genesis 6 or even between two brothers Cain and Abel right at the beginning of the fall of Man

 flesh is evil and spirit is evil as well because of the Fall of Man, Man is spiritually dead in his trespasses and sin Ephesians 2 which is why Man needs to be born again spiritually born of the Spirit born of Incorruptible seed born of God, regenerated titus-35, man is spirit, has a soul and lives in body

 I fully agree that wealth belongs to the righteous proverbs 13:22 but the problem with the wealth message today is that these guys are charlatans using scriptures out of context to get extremely wealthy and as long as God's people are gullible enough to give then this will continue. Our provision is based upon our sonship and not our giving as it was back in the Garden of Eden with Adam.

 Jesus charged nothing and it was the best preaching that the world has ever heard and we need to get back to that we are in desperate Times most preaching is flesh and entertainment

 Context is crucial when reading the Holy Bible that's for sure but also being Born of the Spirit is even more crucial because the Holy Spirit is the One who inspired the Bible to begin with, so anyone who attempts to do any type of scholarly work on the Holy Bible who is not Born of the Holy Spirit or Born of God or Born Again or Born from above or Born of Incorruptible Seed is nowhere near fit nor qualified whatsoever.

 God created hell for the devil but if you choose to follow the devil instead of following God then you will end up going where the devil will be for eternity, easy peasy

 Nobody in their right minds bashes prosperity but what they bash is the charlatans and most of these charlatans are prosperity preachers spewing their false Doctrine. We are saved by grace through faith, we are healed by grace through faith and we are provided for by grace through faith and not by works of giving.

 There's no such thing as godly poverty because when God created Man and put him in the Garden of Eden there was no such thing as poverty whatsoever and God has not changed his mind but because of the fall of Man the wealth has been transferred into the wrong hands doing the wrong things with that wealth but through Jesus Christ at the Cross everything has been reconciled back to Him and to those who belong to Him. And I'm not talking about prosperity preachers either because some of these guys are the biggest charlatans we have in the church.

 there are actually many Christians or so-called Christians that believe that God used evolution or that God used the Big Bang, I've known that for years not that I believe in that, this is nothing new and we're going to see more of this in these last of the last days, I believe it's part of the Great apostasy

 The Holy Bible is the only reliable Bearer of Good News as well as bad news but most importantly of The Truth.

 For the believer in Jesus death is the final victory since it's the gateway into eternal glory, but I would agree that premature death is an enemy because a premature death will cause you to abort the fulfillment of your high calling in Christ. For the unbeliever, any kind of death whether it's premature or a long lived life is certainly an enemy because it leads into an eternal abyss with no hope whatsoever and it also stops you from receiving the glorious gospel.

 People that wish people go to Hell are the ones who end up going to Hell

 I was convicted of sin John 16:8-9 and when the Holy Spirit revealed my life of debauchery my life of drinking and doing drugs and other things I never cried so hard except for when my mama left this Earth last year to go and be with the Lord at the age of 96, the Holy Spirit made hell so real to me and I knew that I knew without a shadow of a doubt that if I died in my condition that I would not make it into heaven but into hell. It lasted about 10 seconds and then I was gloriously born again not even knowing what the new birth was about until later on but I found out later on from my mom that she had prayed for me for 16 years as a charismatic Catholic meaning she was born again and eventually she left the Catholic Church and came to the church where I was at which was more Pentecostal, thank you Jesus

 Every person that is truly Born Again has a calling and an assignment to fulfill for the kingdom of God within the body of Christ, God does not choose one person over another, it's true the word says many are called but few are chosen but that's our doing and not God's doing since we have to make ourselves available and what it takes to be properly fit and equipped to fulfill our calling for Kingdom purposes

 I think what happens is some of these guys have some things that are right yet some things that are dead wrong and a lot of Christians don't know how to discern the difference.

 Most of the turmoils and trials and tribulations in our lives once we're born again are self-inflicted or spiritual warfare and we have authority over these things and if we grow up into our sonship we will stop making bad decisions and we will hear God in a clear manner to avoid making bad decisions bad friendships and so forth

 Jesus was treated as a criminal on the cross in our place so that we don't have to be treated like a criminal when we stand before God but if we don't receive what Jesus did for us at the cross then we will be treated like criminals which is what hell is all about and ultimately the Lake of Fire since we're all born as lawbreakers by nature because of the Fall of Mankind

 God tells us what to do and what not to do and he tells us what to believe and not what not to believe going back to the garden but he cannot do it nor believe it for us therefore God allows what we allow

 Poverty is not from God but neither is greed nor prosperity preachers

 Those who are supposedly ready for the Rapture are weak powerless faithless fearful carnal Christians who accomplish nothing for the kingdom of heaven

 Jesus was not a charlatan like these preachers are and I believe in wealth, I believe in healing, I believe in faith, I believe in apostles, I believe in the gifts of the Spirit

 faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen Hebrews 11:1, all of us are born atheist, and even though I was raised Catholic I did not believe in God in the true sense of the word believe but I had a praying mother and at the age of 31 in 1994 I experienced what is called the conviction of sin found in John 16:8 - 9 and the new birth found in John 3 that Jesus talked about, and those experiences right there changed my whole life until this very day. Shalom

 Science as we know it cannot explain or understand the Invisible Realm

 truth bomb kaboom, everything Jesus has done for us at the cross we receive it by faith and by faith alone because it's been done for us by grace freely given, salvation, healing, provision and so much more, I did not believe in faith years ago to the point I threw out the baby with the bathwater but the Lord corrected me in 2007 after being saved for 13 years, the first two words the lord gave me regarding Faith was: Faith opens doors and Faith puts God to work, he also told me later on faith is trusting in someone you can't see to do something you cannot do

 There is no such thing as a senior pastor in the Bible, in the same way there's no such thing as the associate pastor nor youth pastor, we need to understand God's word and church government according to Ephesians 4:11 in order to accomplish verse 12 to 16.

 I was raised Catholic and I used to mock Jesus, my whole family is Catholic or used to be Catholic, but eventually the whole family got born again and they're all in heaven except for me, one of my cousins bought me that album years ago Jesus Christ superstar and I used to sing Jesus Christ superstar who the hell do you think you are and my mom prayed for me for 16 years and I got gloriously radically saved in 1994 and I've been radical for Jesus ever since 32 years later never went back to my vomit, and the Lord actually made out of me and Apostolic International missionary and I came out of the rock and roll sex and drugs you name it I was doing it, remember what Paul said if he could be saved the chiefess of sinners anybody could get saved

 believe is a verb meaning it's an action meaning it's something you do and part of believing in the gospel is repentance which is something you do regarding change of mind or metanoia

 the majority of the men that we have today as pastors are not even qualified because they have not been qualified by the Holy Spirit because they've not given themselves over to the Holy Spirit and what it takes to be qualified to become a true Shepherd and it's not just about shepherds according to Ephesians 4:11 and first Corinthians 12:28.
