Thank you HS for the opportunity to assist the Body of Christ in your ministry here on The Internet.
Since brevity is the soul of wit...
Oki, enough brevity ;)
I completely reject TUPLIP, I am a 5 point Baconist:
Bad people
Already elected
Completely atoned for
Overwhelmingly called
Never falling away
I was baptised in 1997 at Calvary Baptist Church and sat under some wonderful Bible teachers (R.C. Sproul, Ravi Zacharias, et. al.)
I was born to a Byzantine Catholic family and was an altar boy, sang in the choir, the whole 9 yards.
Went to college and promptly became an atheist (even have a Master's Degree in Geology to show for it in 1991).
Got out into the real world and found out all the trash I learned in college needed to be unlearned and replaced with the Truth (not just about life, politics, etc, but about God as well).
During that time I got married, a mortgage, a car payment, a couple of kids (and cats), and came to my favorite relationship; with Christ Jesus (even though many times I am a poor reflection of Him). But after over 30 years as a pagan in one form or another old habits can die hard till He comes.
I like Star Trek, Stargate SG-1 AND Atlantis, bowling, treasure hunting, surfin' da web, Bible study, Sunday Worship, the Pittsburgh Pirates, Yugioh (the TV program and the CCG), Dragonball Z and Dragonball Z Abridged (on youtube).
I dislike snow jobs, scripture monkeys, pointless gainsaying, and sleep.
