Re: Best Scam ever...
Vek, one thing i really respect about you is that you don't automatically agree with everything someone like John MacArthur says as well as not automatically agreeing with a doctrine so wildly popular throughout mainstream Christianity as the doctrine of eternal torment in hell for the unbeliever.
To me all of this points to a lot of open mindedness and willingness to think and seek truth for yourself at least in various areas. This is true whether or not you always emerge with the right answers, some of which none of us will know for sure until we pass on and meet the Lord :).
Of course for many reasons i deeply disagree with you (and agree with Rainy) in the area of miracle gifts, but nevertheless - for whatever little this may be worth to you - i do very much appreciate your open mindedness in seeking for truth at least in certain ways :).
I am also intrigued that you said John MacArthur would say you are not saved... are you able to speculate as to what specific reason or reasons you believe he would provide? :) Might it have anything to do with Lordship salvation?
Many blessings to you.
