The hardest thing for me in Christian doctrine

[Gentletouch]

Hi Liberal, I admire my sisters zeal for the LORD.

You know what? People have terms for everything like "follower of CHRIST, servant of GOD, child of GOD, Church of GOD, a Christian and someone who has no religion but has a relationship with GOD." For myself, I always tell of myself to people that I have no religion- just have a relationship with CHRIST.

And you are right with thinking about Christians. There are many kinds of Christians which confused seekers. Many denominations of different doctrines that may turn some people off. When I was the President of the Quebec Nurses Christian Fellowship I visited some churches of these Nurses of different denominations. Some Pastors received me well and some with reservation. Some would even speak to the congregation to watch for those people who tried to steal the sheeps. How did I react to them? I reacted inside me with compassion and prayer that GOD will convict them with the HS so that they would learn to love everybody without compromising the GOD-given principle. You are well on your way to making yourself spiritually strong by having GOD and the Holy Spirit, your TEACHER. I grew up also under the teaching of the HS but never stop reading anointed books (authors that are yielded to the HS) and listen to anointed speakers (not filled by fleshly head knowledge but filled with the HS). When I became born- again through few Tele-Evangelist crusades, they told me to seek for a Church where I will be continuously nourished so I did that and with prayer, GOD led me to the place where I'm still today, a Bible-based believing church where worship is so rich its always a joy to have fellowship with the saints. GOD has been with me in my spiritual journey. If there are things that I felt did not fall right to my conscience I ask GOD to help me get the right information from the right sources and HE always did through anointed speakers in the radio or books or the Bible. HE never fails. I checked out all information I received for myself so that no one can deceive me. Does GOD's words work? You bet they do. I had tested it again and again and came to the point when I can bit my life on HIS faithfulness, holiness and worthiness. Is it easy? For me, it is not hard because I'm not a stubborn person for what is right. I want what is justified and so I find myself most of the time in the side of GOD. I cannot stand sin or wrong things. I have more a hard time to live a life full of lies. I have no joy doing what I'm doing if I live an uncertain life. With GOD, I can mix with the crowd to some degree, but if I'm hurting myself being in the wrong crowd I will get a heavy conviction from the HS. When I open my Bible, most of the time, I get the instruction I needed for the situation. JESUS mixed with the crowd and Priests and Pharisees misjudged HIM. Still happening today. Christians are separated by denominations and religions and condemning each other because what they have is a denomination. When we have the love of GOD and have a deep relationship with GOD, we will love everybody.

Liberal, this is the reason why I love everybody. I pray for all the peoples of the earth regularly that all may come to the knowledge of the saving grace of GOD. During the judgment day, GOD the FATHER will not base our salvation on how many good works we have done, how good we have been in a certain denomination or religion. HE will not even scold us of how bad we had lived our lives. One specific question is that "when you were presented the gospel about what JESUS CHRIST did on Calvary so that your sins can be forgiven, did you receive HIM to be your LORD and SAVIOR?" Only one word from us will determine our destiny, 'yes sir or no sir' nothing else (Ephesians 1:13-14). The rest are based on how we want to live on earth, 'a peaceful, productive, abundant life, or a problematic life, even being a Christian who does not obey GOD's word will be reassured of a peaceful life.

GOD bless,
