Members swathdiver Posted July 23, 2011 Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) ...from Port Saint Lucie, Florida. With the prompting of the Holy Ghost I moved my family to this town about a year ago and became a member of an outstanding IFB Church. The NIV has been relegated to the shelf, the KJV bible is always at my side, the wife and children are all saved now and we're pariah's in both our families because we love the Lord more than man. God Is Good! Our family had spent the previous year in one of Lonnie Frisbee and Chuck Smith's Calvary Chapels (Fort Lauderdale) and became fed up with the feel-good preaching, rock concerts and doctrines not being followed that even I could recognize with my NIV bible. You wanna talk to the Pastor? Forget it! The requirements for writing to him mirrored that of Comrade Reverend Jim Wallis! I wanted to join and be baptized but they had no membership rolls and only baptized certain times of the year that I always seemed to miss. God is Good! Before that I'd spent about two years practicing popery! Boy were my knees sore! I knew something was wrong because of all the prayers and support given to Communists and Anti-Semites and always wondered why I was the only one of 2,000 people carrying a bible to Mass on Sunday! Never confessed to a priest, never drank from the cup or ate the cracker while I was there. God is Good! Spent 13 years as a political junkie and am an expert in Communism (socialism/statism/etc.). Not a Commie but an Anti-Communist! It's been a little over 4 years since I was saved by grace through repentence and faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ! God is Good!
