A-G, I am saddened that others are not willing to see your deep faith in Christ. Perhaps I am simply more familiar with your writings over time than they are.

Why do I think you're a Christian? Mostly because of your behavior. Also, of course, because I've read posts where you declare that your trust abides in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Finally, encouraging is listed as a gift of the Spirit.

Romans 12: 6We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his[2] faith. 7If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

Do you bother with altar calls pastor? I am sure you have a parish full of wonderful people that have no need to proclaim Christ or to say they lean on Him for their salvation.

We are after all told we are to" proclaim Him before men or he will not proclaim us before the Father." and that we are saved by faith and not by works lest any one boast.

I do not know if ag is saved. I do not know if you are saved. We are after all only computer acquaintances . What I do know is that we are told to go and to tell.

I repeat

No one can say Jesus is LORD but by the Spirit of God.

As I said we can look for support and encourage people right into hell..Would you point me to those post Pastor? I have asked ag several times if one can be saved without Christ , and I have never gotten a response
