Exactly. I also wanted to respond to the statement about Reformed beliefs. This was me when I read that ----> Reformed churches certainly do not teach salvation by works - in any sense. Why do you think we call it the "Doctrines of Grace?" Works are important, but they are a natural desire of the saved believer to WANT to do what our Lord would have us do. Salvation by grace through faith is what I believe in....And I'm Reformed. Even the saving faith that we have is given to us by grace. We can't muster up the faith on our own. Before we're saved, we're dead in sin. Faith has to be given to us by God. It's a gift. I do believe that salvation by works is a huge problem in many churches today, so I can agree with the overall concept of what the original poster was trying to say

Sure. Sorry about that. When you see a post you want to respond to, you hit the respond button. That post automatically comes up in the window. You'll notice the word 'quote' at the beginning of what was copied there. There should also be the word 'quote' at the end of what was copied there. You start typing after that. When I responded to you, I just hit 'respond' and then the next page came up (where I'm typing). I just make sure I'm typing underneath what was copied. I think I'm being confusing. Just leave all the weird words alone (right, snapback, quote) and start typing below them. If you want to delete some of the persons response and just keep a little bit of it, you just highlight and delete what you want and leave the rest......But the first and last words of what was copied has to be 'quote.' If it's not, move your curser to the correct area and then hit the 'quote' button. I didn't realize how difficult this was to explain! I'm doing a horrible job of explaining it! Did any of that make sense?

AMEN!!! Now hon......let's chat about your quoting. You always have to have an open quote at the beginning and a close quote at the end of what you are copying to respond to. I know this because I used to do exactly what you're doing. Drove me nuts until I figured it out.

Don't like humid, but I would like to have some sunshine. It's been cloudy and rainy here for......uh......well, I don't remember when I saw the sun.

Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain! I need some sunshine - badly.

I agree. It's gotta be an act. It's set up too well.

Oh, Dannyboy, please don't start me on my rant about the "ghetto look". My youngest tried that once - that hat got slapped around to the front right quick. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My 15 year old did that once.....and only once. He thought it was funny to put his hat like that and act all goofy. I can guarantee he'll never do it again.

Seriously......don't go back. They're doing the whole "slain in the spirit" thing. Not good. Some churches roll around on the floor and bark like dogs. Others crawl around babbling. Doesn't sound like a church led by the Holy Spirit. Sounds like a church filled with seriously misguided people.

Is it really morning? I want one of those robots in the Jetsen's. The kind that will deliver coffee at a moments notice.

Seagulls.....it's what's for dinner.

No, no, no....I'm not talking about looking like a guy. I'm just talking muscles. You don't have to look like Arnold to be into body building. Have you seen Rachel McLish? She's one of the older body builders, but she looks great!
