    That's because it came from God not me. I don't have that kind of wisdom. That's why I lean on God so heavily :). My name is OLIGOS

    Is BAPTISM MANDATORY for SALVATION...

    That's alright marksman. I believe God is just bringing people together here who can honestly communicate in love, have true fellowship, and learn from each other in PEACE. I think I read that somewhere in the bible :). Anyway, my name is OLIGOS

    Is BAPTISM MANDATORY for SALVATION...

    Just thinking that our faiths are never "STATIC", but were always growing and changing, if indeed we sincerely belong to Christ in our heart. We can't see into the future as God can, and as I have changed several times in my beliefs, and will probably continue until my last breath, many here...

    Not a bit Marks. Your not pushing me away. Being here while reading scriptures, and watching the way people are here, and being drawn into a deeper relationship with Christ, all at the same time, has also made me want a more loving and deeper relationship with imperfect loving people here like...

    Is BAPTISM MANDATORY for SALVATION...

    I am thinking about changing my presence here by choosing to let everyone continue in their own beliefs as most will anyway, but try to develop friendships based on prayer and fellowship, and believing the kind people here have a really good heart and want to be loved as I do, but we don't have...

    Is BAPTISM MANDATORY for SALVATION...

    Glad I'm no longer searching and have a solid foundation in Christ, and don't need anyone else's opinion for myself. I'm glad each of us have to find our own path, and will only answer to God, not anyone here. My name is OLIGOS

    Is BAPTISM MANDATORY for SALVATION...

    Thank you Getitright When people have been inculcated to think other ways contrary to this as I was, the thinking becomes so ingrained it's next to impossible to retrain oneself. I was blessed as I always questioned whether my salvation and church choice were accurate or even Godly, and over...

    Is BAPTISM MANDATORY for SALVATION...

    Marks my brother. I have come across a new idea from God's word that will require me to qualify some of my statements possibly. In 1st Corinthians 13:13, scripture says, "But now abide faith, hope and love, and the greatest of these is love. I posted a thread a few days ago titles "Is Love...

    Is BAPTISM MANDATORY for SALVATION...

    My friend would you kindly copy and paste the exact statement of mine you are referencing, so I can give you an exact answer? And by the way, I do my best to obey ( Is keeping the law the same as obeying the law??) all 10 commandments, but sorely come up short daily, but in my heart my goal is...

    Is BAPTISM MANDATORY for SALVATION...

    Marks my friend and brother in Christ. I will get back to you this evening, and keep things a simple as I can. I don't think I'll need any Greek, as your question is pretty straight forward I think - LOL In your question, when you speak of dying, are you talking about what I said about our...

    Is love more important than faith?

    Bread of life - Very true. But don't forget that LOVE and FAITH aren't traits of our faith that are "STATIC". Both grow together in us as we grow in Christ. As you said, we need faith to become a believer, but along the path of our faith, once we are a believer, God begins the super-natural...

    Is BAPTISM MANDATORY for SALVATION...

    My friend. You won't find it in ENGLISH. You'll find it in the exciting study of the Koine Greek language, that was the PEOPLES LANGUAGE of Jesus day. Did you know that Jesus spoke Greek and not Hebrew except in the synagogues. 300 years before Jesus was born, Alexander the great conquered...

    Is BAPTISM MANDATORY for SALVATION...

    Like I said - LOT"S OF OPINIONS. So glad I'm grounded in m Marks my friend and brother in Christ. One of the major discrepencies I have seen in the Christian faith for many decade is the idea of Christians seeing many things as one way or the other in the bible, but Christians have a hard...

    Is BAPTISM MANDATORY for SALVATION...

    Well my friend and brother in Christ, there are so many opinions here I'd just thought I'd add mine. I see your posts here and know you are determined to be heard which is cool. I'm not here to argue with anyone. I'm a lover of people and life, and no matter how people get in my face, I just...

    Is BAPTISM MANDATORY for SALVATION...

    Now see there you go attacking me for anything you can think of. You and I are brothers in Christ and we need to keep it light my friend. I'd rather tell jokes than act like a gladiator. I love life and enjoy people so lets be friends even if we disagree on some things. Your a pretty cool guy...

    Is BAPTISM MANDATORY for SALVATION...

    For the sake of others who are still searching or wondering, or want another view they could possibly consider. I post here for others as it profits me nothing. At 76 I've already had my 15 minutes of fame several times in a hobby I enjoy, and don't need any recognition or notoriety. I just...
