It has always been the case that how we walk and talk our way through everyday life is the genuine (and lasting) testimony to our acceptance of salvation and our committment to daily Christian life. It's the only "witness" that will matter, because it will be the definition of our faith, open for all to see.
Before I became a Catholic, I remember be severely rebuked about something that was relatively benign--this rebuke came to me in the presence of others (Jesus always took people aside---except for the Pharisees, of course) and was delivered to me by a "Bible-believing" Christian.
Then I remembered the co-worker who quietly supported me in my work and treated me with respect. That person was instrumental in getting me interested in the Catholic Church.
I've heard stories just like mine from many people.
"You must esteem the person of every man"
1Peter 2:17
2Co 11:6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
2Co 10:10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
Like the apostle Paul, I'm not worried about hurting anyone's feelings...My concern is not with the thickness of your skin, but your soul...
Like one preacher said, if you can't win 'em with love, SCARE the Hell out of 'em...
You don't like my attitude or tone of voice...Yet I speak Christ Crucified...I have confidence in the grace of Jesus Christ and you call it arrogance...And yet I speak of Jesus and lost souls and not of myself...
Your church claims that YOU can't know for certain if you are saved, until you die and go thru purgatory...
I say that if you don't know your salvation is secure, there's a good chance you aren't filled with the Holy Spirit...And if you aren't filled with the Spirit, you aren't saved...
I don't care about your church...Your multi-million dollar buildings and statues and pictures mean nothing to me, and God, I'm sure...That stuff isn't Christianity, it's religion...Fact is, Jesus says sell all that stuff and give it to the poor...
I realize a lot of people paint a picture of Jesus as a frail, weakling sissy type of God...He however showed some rage when he went thru the temple with the money changers...And I'll bet that when they place the crown of thorns on his head, had it not been for his destiny, he'd have cleaned out the entire room...
I realize you've been taught not to believe the bible in Revelation...It's allegorical, your church says...I know better than that...
In fact, I can't understand how a person who claims to be filled with the Holy Ghost could not know that Revelation is not allegorical...
Anyway, as the book says, Jesus is going to come back (with his church) and he's going to wield his sword and massacre millions...Their blood will run as deep as the bridles on horses...A river of blood...This ain't no weak kneed, sissy, lovey-dovey God we have here...Jesus will put his right arm around you while running thru the adversary with a sword in his left hand, at the same time...
I can't picture the Lord with blonde hair and blue eyes with limp wrists and a tenor voice...That's girly stuff...My Lord is a man's man...
