About Me

My photo
I am a born-again Christian, who is Reformed, but also charismatic, spiritually speaking. (I do not speak in tongues, but I believe glossalalia is a bona fide gift not given to all, and not as great as prophecy, for example.) I have several years of college education but only completed a two-year degree. I was raised Lutheran and confirmed, but I didn't "find Christ" until I was in the Army and responded to a Billy Graham crusade in 1973. I was mentored or discipled by the Navigators in the army and upon discharge joined several evangelical, Bible-teaching churches. I was baptized as an infant, but believe in believer baptism, of which I was a partaker after my conversion experience. I believe in the "5 Onlys" of the reformation: sola fide (faith alone); sola Scriptura (Scripture alone); soli Christo (Christ alone), sola gratia (grace alone), and soli Deo gloria (to God alone be the glory). I affirm TULIP as defended in the Reformation.. I affirm most of The Westminster Confession of Faith, especially pertaining to Providence.

What Is The Spiritual Meaning Of Salvation

 

  1. To have oneself renewed in the image of God.
  2. To have the relationship (reconciled) with God’s family restored.
  3. To have oneself justified in God’s court of the penalty of sin.
  4. To have oneself redeemed (price paid) in the slave market of sin.
  5. To have oneself propitiated (the sacrifice made) in the temple of God.
  6. To have oneself born again into a new life in Christ to last forever.
  7. To have oneself forgiven of one’s past
  8. To have oneself a clean slate to start over.
  9. To have oneself freed from the power of sin
  10. To have oneself given new meaning and purpose in life.

NB: We receive, we don’t achieve!   Soli Deo Gloria!
