I don't think anyone has called into question his salvation, so far only his message, which from everything I have ever seen is not about God so much as what resembles pop psychology self help mantra. You feel good you are good, you can do it stuff. Not much of the Cross being taught.

Amen~! Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 1 Peter 4:12-13 And Not All Scars As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: Isaiah 52:14 Are Equal Then saith he to Thomas, reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. John 20:27-28

Grace to you, Be careful how you Judge Osteens salvation. He may just be another victim of "Folk Theology." That stuff is running rampant these days. Peace, Dave

We should feel peace if we are fully trusting in Jesus. However, as human beings we cannot always offer all our sufferings up to Jesus. It is a process. Everyone has moments of distress and doubt. Continue to pray and press on for the prize! Don't think you are alone, we all struggle. Wonderful advice Chesterton . I say keep reminding yourself that this earth is temporary and your treasures are far greater in heaven then they ever will be on earth. And keep your nose firmly wedged in the bible .

GerdaHannah, know this, that we the Church of Jesus Christ our Lord loves our little sister in India, but more importantly, the Lord Jesus loves you beyond words. In the book of Hebrew we are told that the Lord Jesus is our High Priest who is making intercessions to the Father and also he is our Mediator for us to the Father. We also learn that Christ Jesus is touched with the feelings of our infirmity (needs). I want to tell you, my beloved sister, that God can make a way where there is no humanly possible way, nothing is impossible with God. Please don't trust avenues of the solution, but God. Unfortunately, false belief and false traditions exist where there is darkness and where the light of God's word and the light of Jesus Christ doesn't shine as brightly, India needs a visitation from God, an outpouring of God's Spirit and grace and love. Little sister, please believe we love you and are praying for you, we are bringing you before the Throne of God.

This more than anything else proves the saying - in my words - People are reading the book you are writing - a chapter each day - in the things that you do and the things that you say. They are curious, and your change has made them uncomfortable. They may have gone to Sunday school and church and have heard all that you freely accept from the Father and Lord and they are not comfortable. The easiest way to feel comfortable with your change is to mock and make themselves look 'smarter' and more clever. The best defence is an offence. Just remember - they do not mock you - they mock the LORD.
