What makes you think that you are a Christian?

[Truster]

I know Him as Messiah whom you call Christ. Yah Shua whom you call Jesus. His people Messianists who you call Christians.



The scriptures are a will. They are the revealed will and testament of the Eternal Almighty.

Just like a human last will and testament, that has passed through probate, it is in the public domain. Anyone can read it, but only the heirs, the joint heirs with Messiah, can partake and benefit from the abundant blessings and promises within the will of the Almighty.

Nobody can write themselves into a will. Many people do, however, make claims on the will of the Eternal, when they have no rights nor vested interests and are not named as heirs in the Lambs Book of Life.

What makes you think you have the right, the power or sufficient freedom of will to make a claim? What makes you think that although you don’t know Him, have never known Him and are not known by Him, that you have a claim? Yes you have heard of Him with the ears, but your eyes have not seen Him and you have not repented at the vision.

Try going to Buckingham Palace and making a claim. Are you stupid enough to think you will gain entrance? That you would be granted an audience? That your case would be heard?

What makes you think that you have a claim on the eternal estate? You will be asked this question so you better be sure. Not being sure is not knowing where you are. If you are still in Adam then you are in mortal as well as eternal danger.

Repent and trust the evangelism.

II Th 2:9-11 NEW TESTAMENT

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

xxx There is ONLY one guaranteed message from God for today, the Holy Spirit and He only quotes verses. And Christ came to make a way that we can have our own Holy Spirit to teach us. And the new testament is the authority of Jesus Christ. We dont even keep the old testament or those who say thus sayest the Lord. We submit to the new testament Holy Spirit that only quotes verses from the new testament. We live and abide in the doctrine of Christ.

II Jn 1:9-11
9 Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.
10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him;
11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.

xxx And anyone who knows the Holy Spirit on a personal basis, would want to prove the Holy Spirit was leading them by showing the verses that the Holy Spirit motivated them with to speak. We as born again christians knows the importance of proving the Holy Spirit is leading us. There is only one guarantee in the whole bible. Walking after the Holy Spirit that only quotes verses.
psycologist claim there is no abosolutes in the american language. Its obvious. But there is an absolute from the Holy Spirit. He is our guarantee from God.

6 But I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified.
(NKJ)


Gal 1:6-12
6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,
7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
11 But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
(NKJ)

I Jn 4:4-13
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them.
6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.
13 By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

Thanks Squeaky.

Maybe 2 Cor 13:5-6 should be on every TOL page as a reminder. I doubt anyone would know where to start on this one. It has to be one of the most unpleasant and yet edifying acts of worship we can participate in. I was there earlier so I'm expecting a result soon. I must say, that I never enter into self examination without a sense of, "what's around the corner"...
