@CharismaticLady We are never saved and cleansed; then supposedly lost; then saved and cleansed again; then supposedly lost; etc. In 1 John 1, the walking in the light is evidence that the believer is being cleansed, through faith in the blood of Christ.

The expected dumping has arrived...

@shnarkle What I meant was, You were strongly critical of faith based tattoos; I wondered about the possibility that some Christians actually do it because they are motivated to bear testimony, as with a Bible verse, for example?

The church is not under the law, as was Israel in the Old Testament. The law was changed (Hebrews 7.12). What we now have is better than the law (Hebrews 7.19). As a dispensationalist, this is how I see it...

Another dumping promised for tomorrow morning... o_O

@shnarkle Thanks for your comments. Do you see that motive can have something to do with the value of a faith based tattoo? e.g., a Bible verse design.

@Mayflower FYI, the discussion, above, has just turned to tattoo pain; I wonder if you have any thoughts or wisdom, as an experienced person? (i.e., coping with tattoo pain, whether it's necessarily a bad thing, etc.)

@Hidden In Him So you would see this somewhat negatively? as far as a tattoo is concerned.

@Hidden In Him Did you know that some tattoo artists are so convinced that pain is so integral to the whole tattoo process that they are reluctant to use a numbing agent on the client's skin? (I don't know what to make of this, do you?) o_O

@shnarkle So what do you think of people "advertising" - so to speak - that they are Christians, by means of being inked with a faith based tattoo? (Maybe none of the church ladies you mentioned was actually inked in a faith based design; I don't know.)

Good have you on the forums...

@CharismaticLady If you type in "LA Ink" on Youtube, you'll find it...

@CharismaticLady Well, she features quite a bit on LA Ink.

@Prayer Warrior Yes! :) Many a young Christian man or woman will have endured what to them may be both the pain and joy of an inking in order to receive the wording of a Bible verse, in the knowledge that God does in one way or another indeed bless His Word. One of my favorite Bible verses...
