Hi Alan
Thank-you for your kind response. Finally someone who does get it. Yes the Jews require a sign. There is a difference in what Paul taught and what was taught before God changed him. There is another period coming where it gets tough to be a Christian and to be saved. Thank God we live in the period of the time of Gentiles or the Gospel of Grace. I really worry about a lot of church goers who are depending on what they do to get them to heaven. This is why I am so concentrated on this. Maybe I go a bit overboard but I believe we will see a lot of people in heaven we never expected to see and unfortunatley not see some we expected to.
The biggest point I try to get across is tell a person the plan of salvation. A person cannot "turn from his sin" before he is saved. If Christians would quit trying to get people saved by telling them to quit doing this or quit doing that they might find out a lot more people will be saved.
Here is what I am trying to say.
1-A person must repent(change his/her mind about how to be saved) If they were believing they had to be good enough or they were trusting in Mohammed that person needs to "change his mind" about being saved.
2-Next that person then believes that God sent his Son Jesus to live the perfect life. That Jesus was crucified on the cross for OUR sins and that he rose from the grave.
3-Finally he/she accepts by faith that Jesus is the only way to heaven as Jesus made the sacrifice for us.
 
Once this happens the Holy Spirit indwells in this person forever and he will never lose it. He will then be directed by the Holy Spirit on living and so forth. He needs to understand he still has the sinful nature and will still committ sin but he will be seen as perfect by God because of Jesus shed blood.
 
It is such a simple way God has made for us but it has been made very difficult by people who do not rightly divide the Word. You know even if you do not rightly divide the Word you still should come to the same conclusion. I did.
 
And I have been watching for the rapture for a long time. Can't wait!!
 
thanks
