Please keep them coming! I loved reading this :0)<BR/>It's so refreshing to be encouraged in God's word.<BR/> <BR/>I am blessed to see the company so missions minded. If there's anything people need right now, it's "hope"<BR/><BR/>In response to the last response:<BR/>Our salvation from Christ is a free gift and has nothing to do with what we "do". I believe water baptism is important out of "obedience" to God, just like "good works" but is not essential to being saved. If it were, then the statement Jesus made on the cross telling the theif on the cross, "today you will be with Me in paradise" wouldn't be true...and God's word certainly does not contradict itself. It's really important that we don't divide over issues like this. Times are bad and the world is getting worse. Being divisive and making an issue out of this point and some others is a trap from the enemy to have God's people all hung up over non essentials instead of getting out there and spreading the Good News. Long story short, let's redeem the time and use our energies to evangelize this world with the Good News of Salvation instead of disputing amongst ourselves. <BR/>I've been baptized, but it was about 9 years after I was saved. I believe I was saved the moment I asked Jesus into my heart and for His forgiveness.<BR/>~ AngelaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190120122568601217.post-63372565655893211092008-10-11T14:13:00.000-07:002008-10-11T14:13:00.000-07:00I am happy to see such good coming from a group of people. But I disagree with one message. The being saved message. You say that all you need to say is the prayer and you are a born again christian? The Bible says to be baptized. Fully immersed into water as jesus was. Being baptized is the process where your sins are washed away and you reborn. Prayer is a part of this whole process. Not the only key to salvation. I feel in order to save as many people from the wiles of the devil we all have to deliver the same message. The Bible states the steps to salvation. Believe, Confess, Repent, Be Baptized, and Do good works. I believe you are doing great work. But We must all stand together and deliver one message. Satan is happy to see us apart. We Cant lose our eternal fight with him. Hope you can clear up why you dont mention the need for baptism. Yours in christ,<BR/> Joshjreedallisonhttp://openid.aol.com/jreedallisonnoreply@blogger.com
