I want to take a minute to personally welcome our newest member, Michael, to Narrow Way Forums. Welcome and make yourself at home. If you get a chance, take a moment to tell us a little about yourself.

Just maybe gonna stay away from a couple topics! Share as the Lord leads. And "always ready to give an answer to those who ask for the hope that is within me, in gentleness and fear." Peace!

Peace! we dont always agree on every point here. most times i think we do tho. for the most part the peace is kept. sometimes there is a little turbulence, but you are not the only outcast here. others here have experienced the same thing you did. take some time to de-funk. get to know the people here. i do not think if there is a disagreement you will be labeled "non-whatever" here. it will be hashed out with scripture as the final authority.

I am a fellow non-conformist, but not to the WCF statement of faith. I had no issues with that, but I wouldn't conform to something George made up out of thin air that made me a non-conformist. The Bible never says God created Lucifer perfect as George claims, but it says Lucifer was perfect in his ways or behavior till iniquity was discovered. Over that, I was accused of not believing in inerrancy of scripture. I am taking it as written, but I wouldn't conform to George's lie. In reality, I was harming his osas defense.
We don't have to agree on all points. We have a SOF with core beliefs, and so long as people aren't openly attacking them, there should be no issues, plus, we are not seeking to find reasons to ban people. We want everyone to feel welcome. I have enjoyed reading your posts, and plan to take a look at your videos.

Hi Michael and welcome!
Sending you greetings all the way from Australia and as a member of this forum where everybody treats one another with much respect.
I just watched your video "Ramblings of the kingdom" and liked it very much. I took notice of what you said about being "born again", and mentioned this in a post a while back. We seem to be seeing the same thing here!
I look forward to you posting.

I look forward to you posting. Thank you Sister! I've got a couple other friends who now live in Australia after "escaping" California! And thanks for watching the video. Honestly, I am able to speak more openly on those videos made in my garage than I am when I teach at church. Some things are becoming so clear to me in the Scripture - regarding God's great plan & purpose, and the inheritance of the saints - that are not a part of most modern theology that I find it hard to speak on as it is so different from current doctrine & beliefs of the majority. But once the Lord "opens our minds to understand the Scripture" it would be folly to turn back and settle fror anything less. Yes, this Truth is hard, and the Way it is leading is "narrow and constricted", but it leads to Life! I want to be among those "who find it." Abundant blessings to you.

Thank you for your reply, and willingness to allow members to express their beliefs. That is all I would ask, is the opportunity to share (with a plethora of Scripture to back it up) what I believe on certain topics. And my purpose never is to create division or cause strife among the brothers (& sisters). My only burden is to exhort the saints to press in to all that God has called us to. We have a lot of man-made traditions and wishful thinking that has supplanted the Word of God. And remember, God warned that HE would send "strong delusion" upon the church to draw out those who are truly His and belong to Christ. For the saints MUST be tested and tried, "refined in a furnace of affliction" if they are to "come forth as gold tried in the fire", having all dross burned away, and they are truly "in Christ" and the center of the Father's will. I won't share the essay that got me into trouble at the other site, but I would like to share this one that speaks a little on what I see from the Word is God's great plan & purpose for Christ (Head & Body). These are things I would love to discuss with any & all who truly feel there is more (so much more) to this Christian walk than just being saved, forgiven & waiting to go to heaven. Peace & Blessings, Michael
