It's so much fun, too! When I'm not on theology
boards defending my doctrines, I love to hang out with the guys and gals
over a few beers. We go to ball games, movies, strip down to near nothing
and swim at the beach (and TRY not to peek too much at all of those near-nude
bodies:-) and hang around at the mall--all kinds of neat stuff. Also, some
of us regularly go to high-powered church meetings fairly frequently. There
we enjoy learning how to move mountains by faith and get in on some REALLY
high powered worship and praise. We ocasionally have good opportunities
for some soul-winning too! Now if you want to join us in this, there is
only ONE requirement. We are NON-RELIGIOUS Christians around here. So we
DO NOT preach about hell to our potential new converts. THAT'S a shabby
way to preach the gospel--and LEGALISM. (We save the all of that grisly
stuff for our new converts to learn in catachism later on.)
You see, what is IMPORTANT is that you just keep "living
in the Spirit" and make sure that you don't OUTWARDLY and VERBALLY profess
that you don't believe He is "Lord" and then, whatever else you may do,
heaven is a sure deal! Of course, if you're *truly* born again you'll not
murder and rape people. (Uh oh! I sound like a Calvinist NOW, don't I?
Well I only revert to Calvinism when my Arminianism gets me backed into
a corner. I DO really believe that a Christian who has been "truly born
again" can be lost if he's not saying the right set of words about the
Lord when he dies. Yep. That's pretty much how old Charlie here "lived
in the Spirit" (except for those times when he didn't) as a "grace-oriented"
Arminian--for decades. They say that confession is good for the soul, so
thanks for hearing me out!
