Well, what I meant by the growth statement was the fact that I hope you can grow, as a fellow Christian would...All Christians need to grow...it's a must...we never stop learning...

Ok, Now I know you are having a problem tonight. Earlier you stated that thsoe that go to church and priase their good deeds and believe they will get into heaven will not. (* Not an actual quote *) You stated you needed to have accepted the savior.ShaolinWolf said:WHo said deeds don't count...? I believe deeds count in storing treasures in heaven...
loki09789 said:Your stance that deeds won't win you salvation ONLY accepting Jesus as savior will.... sounds like you were saying that deeds don't count
By the way acceptance is a MENTAL ACTION, it is a choice. It is a conscious state of being. This should manifest in the deeds you do. That is why I can respect the idea behind Baptist doctrine: Once you have truly accepted Jesus, then your deeds will be expressions of love and your salvation, and your deeds/acts will be manifestations of that salvation..... What is confusing about that to you?
So, now one deed is as good as another, yet the act/deed of accepting Jesus is more important and the only true deed that will save you, and we are back to Baptist doctrine and we are wrong if we don't agree with you on this we are not 'saved' therefore wrong.
You are intolerant and therefore your deeds express that. Jesus was tolerant and even begged forgiveness on those who persecuted him.
It is really hard to take someone seriously in a theological discussion when there are all these LOL's and smiley faces, snide, petty and juvenile.
I don't think that Rich, myself or anyone else needs to be mocked or laughed at, let alone told to shut up or anything else. Again, you are not expressing much love of Christ with this type of behavior. You do seem to be expressing a love of self as proclaimer....it seems that you are using the state of salvation as an excuse to act like a juvenile, petty brat and not to express any love of Christ by letting that love manifest in your treatment of us, unworthy hellbound types.
I am done with this, there is no talking to bigotry and Anti-"me" ism.

I do not have issues with the bad reputation on this board.ShaolinWolf said:And another thing...you have serious issues with the bad rep thing...I'm not doing that to you...only once...
SW,ShaolinWolf said:You know, there is also such a thing as fun, not just being austere...I'm not mocking anyone...that hasn't mocked me...and I'm being tolerant of you guys right now...and you are completely turning my words against me...ok you want to know what I believe?...
I believe that Acceptance of Jesus Christ is the way to heaven. That includes the sinner's prayer and a mental action. The deeds you do should be an act of love. Also, the deeds you do also store up treasures in heaven.
Read my latest posts...ok not my latest, seeing as they were rambling because I'm tired and I'm sorry if you are insulted, but I happen to have fun when I type and don't mean to be rude. We are not all perfect. And I don't use my Christianity as a way to just be as beligerent as I want. I was just kind of expressing my anger in an act of trying to let it go. We all don't and shouldn't keep it bottled up. I'm sorry that you are mad at me Paul, but I don't happen to think that I mocked any more than Rich mocked me. I tried to keep it down, but at least I'm not cursing him out. And I'm not mad at anyone here. You are taking things the wrong way and not reading all my posts...ok there are way too many now, thanks to my ramblings, but come on.
To go from insulting and not being tolerant to poking fun at people within the same post or a few posts is difficult to do in the written form. No one sees your smile, or your body language.ShaolinWolf said:And also, I'm around Christians who poke fun...So, I'm used to poking fun at people I like...it's just for fun...so if I've offended you, I am seriously sorry...I'm just used to that sort of thing...
