My Introduction

[christianintraining]

Greetings,


A little bit in the way of introduction, My name is David and I attend the Crossroads Baptist Church in Bailey's Crossroad Virginia.
I have been saved for only a couple of months. A favorite verse that I have had a great deal of admiration for is


2 Corinthians 6:14-17

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

I chose this verse because as a young Christian, I have come to find out that I should not have anything to do with anything that is of this sinful world.


My reasoning for coming to LBC is to learn what it means to be a True Christian. I promise before Jesus Christ to know my place in this Church and to obey those who are in authority. Thank Jesus for Churches like this.


Sincerely,


David White

Re: My Introduction

So, I pulled up your church's website, and it appears to be a NIGRO church! Are you white (as your name implies) or Nigro?

Re: My Introduction

Welcome to our friendly forums, Mr. White! I look forward to hearing your testimony, dear. How did you come to find Jesus in this Dark and Dreary world?

I like your favorite Bible Verse very much myself. What a wonderful moral guidance the entire Holy Word is, but how helpful to have specifics like this. Tell us, which of Jesus' many Love Languages do you find most successful when rebuking the sinners in your corner of the world?

Re: My Introduction

Dear Ms Etheldreda,


Thank you for your kind welcome. Before finding Jesus, I had gone through the motions, if you will. I did everything possible to do things my own way. I found out that was a big mistake and decided to do things the right way and find Jesus.


The reason I chose the verses I did was it was a reminder to me that I have no business carrying on with the worldly people and that I needed to separate myself from the things of this world and please Jesus by focusing on Him.


Now that I am here, I wish to further my training and do what needs to be done to carry on the Lord's work.


Sincerely,


Dave

Re: My Introduction

Hi .. Welcome to the forum and to a community where you can share your new-found appreciation of the wonderful world God made for us to live in and every rotten thing that's happened by the sin which brought us down.

The Bible explains that only Jesus can lift us up but so many false "churches" make up new claims about God, what He accepts and what He condemns, even embracing abominations (described so plainly by God) as great and marvellous things. No-one has to believe God but to set oneself up as His spokesperson and then contradict Him is the height of blasphemy. Very easy to assess, that!

But so many people have been hoodwinked, if Bible denying pulpit snakes are any indication. You can rely on The Pastors here to provide correct Scripture in words that are easy to understand.

Re: My Introduction

Thank you, MitzaLizalor, for your insights. I'll keep your thoughts in mind. Sadly, you are right about the false Churches in this world. I don't doubt that God brought me here for a reason and I pray that I will understand more in time. The last thing I need is to be involved with a Church who blasphemes Jesus Christ.

Hello and to God's favorite forum, dear! I just love your choice of your favorite verse! Some people can call us "snobs" if they want to, but we are just following God's Orders!

Now that I am here, I wish to further my training and do what needs to be done to carry on the Lord's work.

Please feel free to browse through and comment on any thread that appeals to you. Even if the latest reply is a few years old, there is no penalty for reviving "oldie but goodie" threads. Looking at collections of threads in various members' signatures gives you a good selection of the finest work by True Christian™ pastors and members.

Re: My Introduction

I'll answer two posts with this:


Basilissa,


If you're following God's orders as the aforementioned verses then I can't see how that's being snobbish. As far as Jesus is concerned, sinners can't and don't have an opinion.

Ms Etheldreda,

Thank you again for your kind welcome. Looking forward to some great fellowship.

Re: My Introduction

Hello Mr White. I had never heard of your church but see from the internet that "users" have rated it 4.7 out of a possible 5 stars. Welcome to Landover Baptist, the only church rated 5*+ by God!

Do tell us all about yourself, your life, your job, your family. Is your hometown called Baileys Crossroad (as in your stated location), Bailey's Crossroad (as in your initial post) or Bailey's Crossroads (as on the map)? Tell us everything! We long to get to know you.

If it's possible I need to re-do my last post, Could you possibly help me out? Thank you.

I doubt if Sister Mary Etheldreda would oblige dear, even if she could (and had the authority to do so). This is because there is a lesson to be learned here, which is one that carries over into everyday life. It is this: it is wise to read one's posts before hitting that "Submit" button. By extension, one should engage one's brain before opening one's mouth.

I hope that helps, dear? And I very much look forward to getting to know you better.

Christians are not joos There are no 'do overs'. You live according to the KJV Bible and Gods commands. If you make a mistake, it goes into your permanent record and is used on Judgement Day(r) to decide your fate. Very simple system, like everything Christian. WWJD?

Mr. Hutchins & Mrs. Lytton-Vasey


I understand and will be more careful in the future. While I am at it, I will pray and ask Jesus to forgive me. To answer the question asked regarding where I am from, etc. I am a Bank guard at in a suburban Washington DC bank. My residence is in Bailey's Crossroads (this is the correct spelling) Virginia. I am a bank guard in a suburban Washington DC bank. I am a Republican and have always voted Republican. I have no family at this current time. The family I did have has been sent to the pits of Hell because of their sins. Anything more you wish to know feel free to ask!
