I wonder how many of these "ministers" say that they are sorry for what they did, but that they nonetheless were and are saved, but just merely "out of fellow3ship" with God.

Calvinist doctrine has helped lead to this, just like Roman catholic ogam/myth has lead to the false belief that all of the so-called near-infinite works that Mary the mother of Jesus (and all the saints as well) will work on the behalf of Roman Catholics who will one day stand before the Lord and give an account...

Calvinist doctrine has helped lead to this

Led to what? Excerpting a column that didn't require excerpting?

Are they going to do this to public schools? Frankly that’s where I’ve read most about disgusting sex crud than anywhere else. The Unions sure try to protect those teachers, too.

Just like I have said more than once now on threads: you cannot tell which ministers behind the pulpit are or aren’t saved. Period. You cannot differentiate between those who some say were “falsely saved” but somehow duped the church, and those who are “out of fellowship with God” but nonetheless still saved. These people are BACKSLID, or never saved to begin with -—— period.

Look at the the read that I posted yestereday. It lists A-G -— which bolsters what I am saying.

IMO part of the issue is mega-churches. So many people, how can you vet who your kids are spending time with? Do you really know more than 20-40 people in your church?

I have the same opinion of large high schools (4A and 5A’s here in Texas) how can 20-30 adults monitor 2000+ kids. They cannot. Easy step to fixing schools as far as behavioral issues is mandate that they cannot have more than 500-800 from 9th to 12th grade.

US Catholics began the Virtus program I think about a decade ago, but unfortunately it’s not a cure.

Having grown up in a Baptist church, I can say with confidence that few baptists will find themselves “saved” when the Last Trump blows.

I am glad to see you have finally found an actual article to bang the “out of fellowship” drum instead of your own blogspot. Good move. This is a good topic. Have not read the responses yet but can’t wait.
