Do any of you use Bible tracts when you are witnessing? If so, which ones? Why? 1 2 3

I was wondering if any of you used Bible tracts in witnessing to others, or to give the Gospel to people you only get to see in passing and can't truly don't have the time to fully present the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If you use tracts, which ones do you use, and why do you use that particular tract? I know growing up in the IFB churches in Illinois, many of the churches used a "What Can I Do to Be Saved?" tract. There were several others as well, and there were many decisions for Christ made using those tracts. Thank you in advance.

I don't really care what all y'all think. I could ask 20 people and get 20 different answers I want to know what Samer thinks (I emailed him and he never replied, so hopefully he will reply here). I'm not sizing you up for debate brother. I just want to know. If there is a place on the forum where you have defined it, please point me there. Would you agree with H.A. Ironside and his definition of repentance in these following quotes? "Repentance is the very opposite of meritorious experience. It is the confession that one is utterly without merit, and if he is ever saved at all it can only be through the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ, 'who gave himself a rans…

We had a missionary come to our church Sunday night and, while he was giving his testimony, he said that he got saved at the age of 3. I myself find this hard to believe and consider it to be an insult to my intelligence. We have 10 children and none of them were ready to be saved at 3, 4, or 5 years of age. My wife said that I should have asked him if he was still in diapers or was he potty trained when he got saved.

A scenario my husband recently heard about. This was from a conservative.: Person: I know I am not saved because I do not feel sorry for the ?sins? I commit. How sorry would I need to feel? Preacher: ?Being sorry has absolutely nothing to do with salvation. It is an instantaneous event. When you believe/trust it is complete. Later on sanctification occurs where you become more Christ like and change your ways but being saved doesn?t remove the sin desires from us?.

Hi everyone. What should I do if I don't feel saved? I know that one should not rely on feelings but sometimes I seriously wonder if I am saved and I have said that sinner's prayer (and meant it) countless times.

Where do the scriptures teach that a soul is eternal? I know a born-again soul will live eternally, that is easy enough to prove. But what about unregenerate souls? What scripture teaches they have eternal life? Thanks, Doug

by Grant Swank Is Baptist Grown Britney Saved? September 23, 2007 12:00 PM EST Britney was reared in the Baptist church. She was taught the way of salvation, that is, repenting of personal sins, committing one?s life to Jesus and living the disciplined life. She was brought up in Bible studies, church youth groups, altar calls, personal testimonies in worship and witnessing to others about Jesus. All this is basic to the Southern Baptist Convention lifestyle that enveloped Britney. Along with memorizing Scripture verses and daily devotions, Britney was taught "eternal security." What is that teaching? It is a Baptist staple, namely, that once one is saved by Je…

I was saved about 10 years ago, and I'm sure I was saved. God transformed my life and proved Himself to me over and over. I've been a member of an IFB church ever since, and I always believed that once a person was saved, nothing could separate him from the love of God, nothing could cause him to be unsaved. About a month ago I started questioning God about hell. I think it started because I was thinking about my dead grandfather, whom I loved very much, and who died when I was a child, years before I was saved. I never got a chance to witness to him. I should have just trusted God with the whole thing, but instead I got angry with Him and started questioning His …

G?day! I found this interesting video on YouTube looking at the issue of Calvinism, it is a debate with James White (Calvinist) and Dave Hunt (non-Calvinist). It is quite a decent video, so I thought I would share it with you, and get your opinions on it as well. http://sovereigntybaptist.blogspot.com/ ... -dave.html May this video encourage us all to think more theologically as we come to dealing with the deep things of Scripture.

Can someone please help me? I have been have many doubts about my salvation for many months now. All these thought go through my head: was my repentance real? did I really put ALL my trust in the blood of Jesus Christ? Is it now impossible for me to repent?. Quite honestly sometimes I don't know how much longer I can hold on. When I try to overcome these doubts by remembering my testimony, I really wonder if it was real or not. I'll try to make it short but it goes like this. I was camping with a bunch of people I didn't really know about 4 years ago, I drank a bunch of psychedelic cool-aid. I went through many hours of what can only be described as demonic torment, …

I'm just going to keep my question simple and see what you all have to say.. Did you stay down on your knees and emotionally cry out to the Lord to save you? Or.. Did someone show you, one-on-one, from the Bible the plan of Salvation and pray with you as you asked the Lord a simple (yet powerful and meaningful) prayer to save you? I will not sit here and say that one is better or worse than the other because as far as I'm concerned if you ask the Lord to save you and you mean it in your heart he will do it! The only reason I ask is because I have seen it both ways. I have seen it short and sweet, and I have seen it emotional, deep and lasted a while. If someone f…

What does the bible say about Eternal Security? Are true believers genuinely secure? The bible is the inerrant word of God and has no contradictions, and this passage irrefutably proves the the a Child of God cannot lose their salvation. Any conditional security passage would posit a contradiction, thus they would have to be reconciled. The truth is that there are NO passages in scripture which can exegetically prove that a Child of God can lose their salvation. First lets deal with The Recipients (SHEEP). The Recipients

wrong faith 1 2

When I participate in internet forums I always present my beliefs in absolute terms. I generally see religious issues as black and white and seldom ever gray. I have no qualms about telling someone that they are wrong on matters of religion when I have reason to believe that they are wrong. For this I am usually criticized mercilessly. What I want to know is, can you insist that your faith is right if you are unwilling to say other faiths (or variations on your own faith) are wrong? If you are unwilling to say others are wrong when they don?t accept your faith, can you have any faith at all?

Before going to the church we interviewed the pastor. One of the last questions we had was "What are the terms and conditions necessary to membership?". His reply included Baptism. Cool by me, but i was Baptized in 1984 and my wife in the early 2000s. Now don't misunderstand me. I don't mind being Re-Baptized. The Pastor who Baptized me was of the Christian Non-Denominational faith, I was 9 at the time (although did realize the gravity of my decision) and the pastor went on commit adultery (not that i believe that his adultery had any bearing on my Salvation). My wife on the other hand was baptized in a Non Denom as well. The pastor who baptized her was a big fan of K…

What questions should a christian ask himself to know for sure he is saved? Like someone say " I have accepted Jesus as my Savior" but the truth is, he is a mormon. I read countless posts (other message boards) saying Romney, a mormon, must be saved because he publicly announced that he accepted Jesus as his savior. Of course, one the post here on OLB reminded me those posts so I thought I would start this topic.

a person was saved by GRACE in the Old Testament. As far back as the Book of Genesis, God's Grace... NOT their works has saved a person. If that were not the case, then, a person could be their own god as seen in Genesis 3:1-5. Paying particular attention to verse 5... For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil (The very first lie from Satan in the Bible.) I will start: Genesis 13:4... Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD. King James Bible Above we see that Abram's (later... Abraham) works led up to God/J…

- According to Jesus Christ's testimony as a credible expert witness in all matters pertaining to the afterlife; most of the world's responsible souls haven't been making it to safety when they cross over to the other side. ● Luke 13:22-24 . . And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. ● Matt 7:13-14 . .

I read a debate on another forum about salvation and "Lordship salvation." Just wondering if anyone could give me some clarity on these topics. John 3:16 says "...that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." Thus, all it takes for salvation is to BELIEVE. Repentance and good works are the fruit of a faithful Christian, but without them you are still a believer and still saved? Or is repentance ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY? I repent for my sins and do what I believe to be "good works" for my friends, family, church, community and witness, educate, etc. But is that necessary to salvation? Are grace (i.e. "saved by the grace of God) and faith…

The Bible teaches by man came death. At the end of creation week, there was no evil in the universe. God declared all He had made very good. All the angels rejoiced on day three - when the foundations of the earth were laid - Job 38:7 - which meant none had fallen yet. You can also see the same order of events of creation week (as shown in Job 38) presented the same way in Psalm 104. Satan walked in Eden before he fell - Ezekiel 28:13 - and Eden was not created until day 6. Nowhere does the Bible state Adam and Eve fully understood how death would affect things, only that it was promised as a judgement if they sinned. Satan fell sometime after creation week, then he later tempted Eve and Adam; and their sin resulted in death, the curse, etc. being brought on creation, including all biological life. Romans 5 is very clear on that.

What did the grape do when someone sat on it? It gave out a little whine. What do you call people who really like tractors? Protractors. A rancher had 97 cows in his field. When he rounded them up, he had a hundred! Why did the man name his dogs Rolex and Timex? They were watch dogs. -

replenish (v.) mid-14c., replenishen, "provide" with food or drink, also riches, beauty, etc., from Old French repleniss-, extended present-participle stem of replenir "to fill up," from re-, here perhaps an intensive prefix based on the notion of "fill repeatedly," thus "fill completely" (see re-), + -plenir, from Latin plenus "full" (from PIE root *pele- (1) "to fill"). Specifically as "to fill up again, restore to a former amount or condition" by 1610s. Related: Replenished; replenishing; replenishment. And here's the link to the prefix "re" https://www.etymonline.com/word/re- I'm not convinced either way. Evil did exist before man sinned, otherwise God would not have "known good and evil" and the serpent would not have been an evil entity to have tempted Eve. And "death" was a known concept, otherwise the serpent and Eve would not have discussed it. The Bible says that death passed upon Adam and Eve.. I don't recall reading where it says that animals had not yet died. I'm just curious as to what happened to all them "dinosaurs". Except for crocodilians, they were completely annihilated long ago and I don't believe any of them were on the ark. -

Yes, I love listening to Bruce. He brought real truth to what it means to be an actual Christian. I really appreciated how he pointed out Platonic and Socrates world views in Christian religion. He's a real life-giver.
