You have been told the truth. It is up to the Holy Spirit to change your mind and heart I can do no more.

Good morning verga.

Yes, you are correct. I have been told the truth repeatedly in various and sundry manners. Blessed to have Chrisitan parents who prayed fervently for me.

Not until the age of 32 did I respond to the conviction of the Holy Spirit (I was well aware that I was a sinner) and give up the reins of control of my own life to God by faith in the Son of God Lord Jesus Christ.

Without responding to God the Holy Spirit, I am certain I would have been institutionalized or have experienced the first death that almost ever man and woman will experience.

I thank my Savior also for salvation from the second death which I am assured by my being sealed by the Holy Spirit Who has instructed me about Christ since that day. The Word of God has been indispensible in correcting the many errors I had developed.

I recommend the entire New Testament to you again (and to every one who reads this post). Since you know Greek, you can read it all in the original...which is a terrific God-given ability.

If we accept Jesus as He instructs in His Word, we do not need a denomination after our names. That is why I enjoyed going to the many churches we went to when I was a kid. Our town and county were very small and my parents knew or were related to many people. We were invited to their churches and we accepted. One thing about every one of them was that each and every one taught from the Bible. If we are Christians, do not worry about the name as long as they are Bible teaching churches. The Catholic religion is not the Only way to Heaven. It does not matter how much they believe that or any other church for that matter. God has the instructions in The Bible an they are easy enough for a child to understand.
