"Sometimes it's through suffering that we relate to the forgiveness Jesus gave us through the cross. 2nd Corinthians 4:17 says "our suffering is light and temporary and is producing for us an eternal glory that is greater than anything we can imagine.""

Yes, we need to pray for him. And for all of us.
We shall see.
Just imagine being a persecuted believer soon after Christ's crucifixion, and learning that your greatest and most authoritative teacher will be the zealot who once hunted you down. It was Paul who wrote to the church at Ephesus: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."
God has always shown his power by using people we would never choose; otherwise we would worship them instead. And he saves whomever he chooses. I pray that Jim Carrrey truly believes the Gospel and that God knows him.
I’m almost positive I saw this video a long time ago. I’m not judging, but I’m cautiously optimistic. I put no stock in any human.
“I’ve people converted and become completely changed. I just don’t how that can happen.”
It’s not the person. It’s the Holy Spirit in the person that allows that to happen.
Charles Colson was a great example of a truly changed person after his salvation.
I don't trust him. Too many phony people out there.
Yes. Russell Brand and now Jim Carrey?
I pray this is real! Great for him if so!
Praise God and paryers for his Salvation.
People cannot make that leap at all. Indeed, trying to save oneself, to earn one's way into God's favor and thus into heaven, is the Jews' stumbling block described by Paul.
But, as you stated, it happens anyway, because God can. God does it--He regenerates those who are willing, and they are born again.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:8-10)
But God doesn't stop there. He continually renovates those He rescues, transforming them so eventually they are suited for a blissful eternity in His heaven: "...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." (Philippians 1:6)
Carrey is so full of himself. It’s not suffering that leads to salvation.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through him.
This is an old OLD video, from like 7 years ago.
His faith may have been real. But he’s still a TDS-embracing lefty, as far as I’ve seen.
It’s an old video, from like 7 years ago. Hopefully his faith “stuck.”

I often pray for trouble for people. It is a very encouraging prayer as it is often answered by a very creative God.
Don’t hold your breath. He went leftist nuts just like the Transformers star Shia Lebouf. Have you forgotten Carrey’s ‘artwork’ re: the politically, right?
He’s only changing his spots because he can’t get any work anymore, IMO.
Thought for the Day: Jim Carrey - 09/09/17: This Room is Filled With God

********* The video posted at the top, is probably from 2017. Same as this one.
But knowing this guy perhaps he might look at the parable of the poor, humble woman who gives her only copper coin to the temple's charity box and the ostentatious Pharisee who makes a show of his donation and false piety.
It’s called Salvation or being born again. Jesus forgives all your sins and you become a new man. His sins are no more.
I’m glad that this happens to people, but I just don’t understand how. What is the mechanism by which one does that?
I know it’s an act of faith and not of the mind. I just don’t understand.
Does he still hate Trump?
