Kia ora and amen!

[Diesel Stanford]

Hi brethren! My name is Tim Diesel Stanford, I am 45 years old and live in Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand where I also was born on December 5, 1972. I also used to live in the USA for several years. I attend Oxford Baptist Church. My favorite Bible verse? I have two, the very first one and the very last one:

Genesis 1:1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.


Revelation 22:21: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

I am married to my wife Grace - yeah, her name is like the main subject of the bible, haha - who is 49 and from Australia.

Here my family:

Yeah, on the very right me and wife, the other ones are my children from left to right: Damona (18), Connor (16), Wendy (14) and Derek (8). Like me, my wife and my kids are all born-again Christians. I got saved on November 30, 1999, four and a half months after my first kid was born and after battling a couple weeks with depression. I usually am from a free thinking agnostic family, but luckily I also finally managed to get my parents saved, as well as my older brother, his wife and their children, son-in-law and granddaughter.

My wife's brothers got saved too as well as their parents, children and grandchildren. My wife's oldest brother lost his wife, but luckily she got saved a couple weeks before he died. Sadly my brother-in-law later committed the sin of remarriage.


My doctrine:
-I only use the King James Bible from 1611
-The trinity (1st John 5:7)
-I am a dispensationalist
-Salvation is only through Christ's perfect, finished work on the cross of Calvary (Acts 16:31, 1st Corinthians 15:1-4, Ephesians 2:8-9). There can be nothing added.
-Once a person became a Christian and received the Holy Spirit, there is no way he can get lost (John 5:24, 1st John 5:13, Ephesians 1:13-14, Philippians 1:6, Romans 8:38-39)
-I am a completely enemy of the satanic unbiblical doctrine of Lordship Salvation (refuted by Romans 11:6)
-I believe in two raptures - the pre-trib rapture for the body of Christ (1st Corinthians 15:52, 2nd Thessalonians 2:5-14) as well as the post-trib rapture for the tribulation saints (Matthew 24:30-31)


I have several hobbies, maybe more hobbies than any other person on this planet, but nothing matters more to me than Jesus Christ our Lord! Maranatha!


Evangelical books I own:
Adrian Rogers - Believe in Miracles but Trust in Jesus
Andrew Farley - Relaxing with God
Charles C. Ryrie - Dispensationalism
Charles F. Stanley - Eternal Security: Can You Be Sure?
Chuck Missler - Alien Encounters: The Secret Behind the UFO Phenomenon.
Chuck Missler - Behold A White Horse: The Coming World Leader.

Jack Hyles - Let's Go Soul Winning

Hello and a cautious dear!

You seem like a somewhat spiritually confused person, but I'm sure our Pastors can straighten you out!

Re: Kia ora and amen!

I can see you're a big fan of videos. Thank you for sharing your perseverative topic with us dear, but kindly remember this is an online community that communicates via the written word. Why don't you tell us how Christ saved you, despite being born in a country abandoned to heathens, Sodomites, and hobbit-kink folk.

Re: Kia ora and amen!

I take it you must be a young stud. You've been reading the dangled New Testament. Welcome to the forums. I'm interested, New Zealand? I don't get out much. Where is that? How did you find God? There's many questions I have for you. Tell me a bit about yourself.

I read all of the Bible, but I only wanted to quote the most important verses. Of course in my sermons I go through everything.


New Zealand is very much close to the borders of this earth (I hope you know it's flat). And the city I was born and I live in has the most godly name EVER. I mean: Christ-Church


And well, I'm good at work, thanks to the Holy Spirit living in me. I am the co boss at a company that runs motorhomes and coach busses.

Re: Kia ora and amen!

That's all well and good. Just be sure to back up your posts with job scripture.

For instance, you may want to quote Revelation 7:1 for your flat earth statement.

Revelation 7:1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.

More importantly, how can you say your place is more godly than the USA? Does New Zealand have a good pork industry?

We do, and an even better lamb industry.
