One of our former girls has gotten wrapped up in something weird. She will only tell me her Church is "The Church of God" and that it is NOT seventh day Adventist (something I guessed). Read this and tell me what you think she's fallen in to....
Questions I asked her-
Here are some questions though, ones that I feel I know the answer to but I want to see what you think/have been taught...
1) Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man-true?
2) Jesus Christ died as a substitute for all of His people who realize they are lost in sin and need to repent and trust in Him in order to be "saved"-true?...
3) All other religions (ways to god) are false, as the ONLY way a person can "come to God" is through Jesus Christ.- True?
4) Salvation is obtained ONLY through faith in Christ and not in any kind of "work" (things we do). -True?
5) Salvation is being "born again" and will be evidenced by a changed life. God will give you the Holy Spirit so you can live a Christian life, not a sinless one, as no one does that, but also not a life where a person cannot tell you from a non-Christian. -True?
I'll stop there for now
Here are her answers:
1) Jesus Christ is God (Phllipians 2:5-11)
2) Only way to be saved and repent is through the Passover of the New Covenant ( John 6:53, Matt. 26:26)...we cannot do anything by ourselves, that's why Jesus said through his flesh and blood we will remain in Him and He in us.
3,4) only way to come to God is through the Passover
Romans 1:19-20...God reveals his image through the creation...think about everything that is created....everything that has life has male and female traits...it says God has made His eternal power and divine nature plain to us since the creation of the world...then even when u read the story of Creation, God says "Let US make man in OUR image in OUR likeness"...Us is plural...
Ugh!!!
What is this?!
4) not by a changed life... because to be in the flesh is to be a sinner. Jesus Christ grants salvation at the last day, but He says if we eat His flesh and drink his blood he will raise u up at the last day..
