Let's face it, we can't all be right.
If we think we are, then that's proof we're not.
So let's discuss how we feel about Jesus Christ.
That will either Bring us together or separate us.
It will show our prejudices and unwillingness to bend for fellowship's sake, or it will teach us to except each other's differences.
It will teach us what doctrines are important for salvation and which ones are only good for argument's sake.
No reason to bring up Calvin or Luther or church fathers here unless it is what caused you to be saved.
Whether you believe in being born again or not is a good subject to discuss here as I believe that would directly affect your relationship with Jesus.
Lots of room for debate and lots of room to show your Christianity to others.
So whether catholic or protestant or mormon or jehovah's witnesses or anything else, how do you feel about Jesus?
May the power of the Holy spirit keep you on track in this discussion.
Amen
I was 34 years old when I got saved
I cried out to Jesus, believing in my heart he was God, and I got saved.
My life changed and I realized it was giving my life to Jesus that would make a difference for me.
Today I pray to him daily for myself and others.
I feel safe in his presence.
I've learned that a true Christian doesn't necessarily live by a set of rules, but by his relationship with Jesus.
I know next to nothing of church fathers, but I know all about Jesus.
I know what the Bible says.
God speaks to me about it when I ask him.
All these different groups no longer mean anything to me anymore.
All that matters is Jesus.
I love Jesus.
I'm bananas about Jesus.
Glory to the Lord Jesus.
And when people put their religious rules first and never talk about their relationship with Jesus, I debate them.
Whether I convey myself well to you or not, this is how I feel and believe.
1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
So whose fault is it when modern day tongue speakers are claiming another drink of the One Spirit by which they had gained that tongue without interpretation by?
Same goes for doing the works of catholicism as if that is a work of grace to obtain salvation by as the Mass carries out the work of redemption.
When any one or any church defers from the testimony we all are supposed to share; then they are preaching another calling and another gospel.
1 Corinthians 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
Seems like in these latter days, everybody is pointing somewhere else rather than the Son for life with God the Father.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Keeping our eyes on the Son all the time is the narrow way in following Him since the Bridegroom is coming soon anyway.
