How Many of You Are SAVED?

yes, she had access to many things, but she did not use any of them
exactly, "her only limit was her decisions" she did not have the ability to make the correct one

Hhhmmmm. Well, her ability may have been impedded, but her free will was never taken away. Her mind may have been clouded, but she wasn't purely a victim to some over taking force either. God promised He would always provide a way out (of sin) and that He wouldn't allow more then we could handle. Personally my experiences have testified to the validity of those statements, so I would say that for the most part she knew enough of what she was doing to know it wasn't the only, or even the best option.

Co0. How long have you been doing that? Worked with the youth at different times myself. I still hang out, paintball, do concerts, etc with some of the kids I became friends with. Heh, some of my best friends are half my age. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Ive been in youth leadership since my freshman year in HS, about 5 years ago. Our Highschool youth group called "oikos" is formatted where there are student leaders, and these student leaders have a little groups called cell groups. And these leaders help other students grow spiritually, emotionally, and work out problems. When i graduated from HS, i couldnt be a hs leader anymore so my youth pastor sent me to the JR high group.

Does your church have like camps and stuff for the youth??

Yes. Camps, concerts, activities, productions, you name it. The church I go to is huge (not why I go there) and we have a ton of stuff we do with all ages of youth. I think it's cool. I faced alot of things when I was that age, and the youth of today is no different, in fact they face more extreme things then my generation did. I love paintball, cars, heavy metal and video games so I seem to fit in pretty good. LOL! When the Jr.H and Sr.H boys I worked with first heard I was thirty some years old, they were like "NO WAY!!!" Of course I don't look or act my age, so go figure. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Thats cool dude!! Our church is kinda small. like 200pple, however, our youth makes up for almost half of the congregation (ages 10-21). So in other words our youth is the heart and soul of the church. Alot of the congregation wouldnt be there if it werent for the kids.

where do u go for camps?? Our next event is to go to philly's ghetto for a mission trip and work in the inner city...more abandoned houses than homeless over there. Its depressing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

That's good that you kids in church....

the devil, unfortnately, has found many ways to influence the minds of our youth today. one in particular is the doubt of faith and GOD to begin with!

It's funny when someone tells me that they don't believe in GOD but they believe in the devil. I mean, the devil knows that GOD exists! The devil doesn't care about you or anyone....

Anyway, recently we had another Crusade, or Revival if you want to call it that, near our town. It was a good turnout. Several people got saved and many got healed....

You know, I realized something....why do people whom are sick (like cancer, paralysis, deaf, etc) spend soooo much money at doctors, whom most of the time can't even heal them fully, and yet they are so afraid to come see a preacher who will get the job done through Jesus Christ? And another thing, the ones that do show up and get prayed on and then get healed, give a little $5 offering but yet they give the doctors thousands of dollars for nothing!!!!!!

Don't get me wrong doctors are good. It's just that IMO, there are times when I believe that doctors are for the sinners and non-believers of Jesus!

I'm just going to bump this thread up again by saying that Jesus shed his blood for our sins.....look at how our world is today....it's being overtaken by Satan and his demons left and right....some Christians and preachers or pastors are afraid to come out of their Church to try to Save people. Yes, I am talking about Christians now! The supposively followers of Jesus.

Jesus said that we had the power to heal the sick just like he did but yet we as Christians and then those pastors are just sitting and "playing" Church every Sunday (I actually go several days a week - I believe that you see who truly is a Christian when they attend Church other than Sunday) and are just afraid to claim our territory!

Remember again, God brought his Son, Jesus, down to earth to die for our sins so we don't go to hell. All we have to do is live right (Holy) and accept Jesus for what he has done. Why is that so hard for people to understand? So many people would never do drugs or anything else that would harm them yet after a couple of times of asking them they will eventually try it just to see how it feels. So, why is it so hard for someone to do something that is right and that will make you feel so much better than anything else in this world???

So people are sinners because they are going to the doctor and then paying him what he is owed instead of not paying the doc and giving that money to the church?

In conclusion:

$$$ for the church=not a sinner...
