For anyone curious: I think about God all day long. Even when I'm working, or enjoying hobbies.
This is the really cool thing about God and Jesus. They surpass all understanding and the wonders of this world that He has created are endless.
People can spend their entire lives looking at the stars and only understand less than 0.01% of what they are looking at.
It's the same with God. We have an unlimited supply when it comes to seeking His Glory & Majesty
I never said "don't get baptized" i recommend everyone get baptized but God's grace and mercy is more than we can ever imagine and he will give people every chance up until those final moments.
People who have had near death "experiences" have been dead for 5-10 minutes and have had experiences where they came to Christ then came back to life.
From what we know from thousands of experiencers we can conclude even upto an hour after the heart stops... maybe even longer.. there is a chance for redemption.
I believe that. I don't really care if others do. I believe people get literally every. single. possible. chance.
What they choose is up to them.
Baptism is an outward symbol of an inner commitment. Tens of thousands will see heaven without being baptized.
Saving faith creates works within a believer. Baptism is a work of that saving faith.
None the less. My conscience is clear.
Arguing with fellow brothers is unfruitful. Work out your own salvation.
@MediaKing Companies reuse an old listing, this product was probably something else and they just edited the listing into something new so they could keep the high rating and use it for another product
@archie_lochie The Bible has layers. If you are stuck on a lower layer it's impossible to understand the higher things. You can't even explain it. It's like talking to a brick wall.
Sometimes it can be incredibly frustrating.
Believe what you want. Work out your own salvation. I'm telling you faith is what saves you. Faith produces works.
Your having this conversation right now because of your faith. You're faith has produced the very comments you are typing right now. Which is a perfect example of faith producing works.
You are saved by FAITH. - May God have mercy on you if this is how you judge others, this is how you will also be judged.
"48 And he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” 49 Then those who were at table with him began to say among[a] themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?” 50 And he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”"
"30 Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”"
"28 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law."
"8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
"16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
"24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life."
I was baptized and I recommend it for everyone.
If you had to be baptized. Thousands of people who have confessed on their deathbed would just be out of luck. Gods grace and mercy surpasses all human understanding.

@gentrywgevers We are told not to care about the world or things in the world. We are told to stay clear of worldly things.
Christ does not care who is president. You shouldn't either.
"4 No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him."
@TheMuppetPastor@oliverburdick If this was true. There would be no point in ministering to people on their death bed.
You can be saved. Up until the very last possible moment.
God's grace and mercy surpasses all human comprehension.
@CalvinsTulips@Nella70056956@lanecart07@oliverburdick Let me ask you a question. If someone is on their deathbed. And a pastor builds a saving faith in that person, and they accept Christ.
Do you believe they will be saved or do you believe since they weren't baptized, they are going to hell?
