New Commer

Post #1

Post by edwinG »

Following suggestions I am here posting about myself. I am a non denominational Christian who is very much in love with Jesus and through Him, God. I am this way because of His Grace in me, and by that I mean because of all the things He has done for me so that I may believe to the extent that I do. This extent is most simply put as "He is Almighty" in all things and in all ways. Absolutely amazing.

Hi and welcome :wave:

Different people mean different things by the term non denominational Christian. What do you mean? Do you attend a church, no churches, many churches, have a home church? Are you a member of any of the church(es) you attend? Are you part of an independent church not affiliated with any denomination? Are you part of one of the nondenominational denominations?
Examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.

The truth will make you free.

Hi McCulloch, thanks for writing to this thread. By non-denominational I mean that I dont believe it matters which name brand of church you attend as long as you believe in Jesus as our Lord and Saviour and that you are baptised into Jesus. I believe that from there if you put your trust in Him, the Holy Spirit will lead you. Maybe He will want you where you are or maybe He will want you somewhere else for who knows how long. At present I attend a church nearly each week which is only a short walk from where I live. I have attended this church for almost 2 years,This church is Anglican. The church I attended before this Anglican church was not Anglican. I attended it for around 4 years. I moved and it was not possible to attend this church that is why I ended up at the Anglican church.I dont swap around but attend the church which is closest to me.
walk in love

A warm welcome to you edwinG.

Although I represent Non-Theism, I respect input from all who are tolerant of the convictions or beliefs of others. It sounds as though you would be inclined to be quite tolerant. We need more of that attitude in these threads to balance intolerance expressed by many deists.

That said: Is it required for “salvation” that a person attend church? Be baptized? Be Christian? Believe the bible?

What is your opinion of the status and future of the vast majority of the world's population that does not accept JC as lord and savior? Are they who are not baptized or who reject JC “doomed to eternal punishment”?
