@conservmillen In light of Philippians 1:15, 17–18, as Paul stated: “But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice.”
@DrFrankTurek It is not an evangelistic invitation for an unbeliever to accept Christ, but rather a warning and a call to believers to repent of their lukewarmness and self-sufficiency.
@DrFrankTurek Revelation 3:20, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me”.
John the Baptist said, “I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit"
The internal Spiritual transformation is that only Jesus can perform.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you Falsely for my sake.
