The Work of the Spirit: Adoption l Voddie Baucham 

Amen! #MakeGodFirst

What does he need to learn exactly?

@@doug2993 First, who are you asking me this? What is your business in this equation?

@@doug2993 Permit me to explain my meaning, please: When a person, any person, says that for some reason or action; in this case, INACTION, one is not a Christian IF- Then they are wrong to assume this about another. Only God knows the heart. Not man, not a preacher or a priest. One must be mindful as to the words that one chooses. Especially when referring to others. Only God can determine who IS or who ISN'T one of His, not man. Not even Rev Baucham. This is what I meant. I hope you can understand truth. I was hasty earlier to a point of offense. I apologize.

@@futuresite11 I hear you brother. Well, he is a faithful messenger. The Bible is strong, so Voddie is strong. Of course there are exceptions. It's like not going to a local church. I did that for years being disillusioned with most churches. I would hear sermons touching on this, I knew it was wrong to not attend. The preachers that I heard it from were just being faithful to the word. I don't think Voddie would say that if I am not attending somewhere on a regular basis that I must not be a true believer because of that. I actually got to meet him last Friday evening and Saturday morning. He is a very humble man, but he is passionate about the Lord. He isn't rough around the edges. He knows that he isn't perfect, as none of us are. Thank you for responding, it's all good, have a great evening! Let me add just a little. I told him when I met him, that he was my second favorite preacher, next to John Mac. I have to say after seeing him and some brief words and being able to joke with him, seeing him taking time for people, that he would never meet again, people that were "nobodies", in the sense that they were just other regular believers and not a group of big shot preachers like you would see on a ligonier conference panel. The way he treated me and everyone else, he is now by far my favorite preacher.

@@doug2993 And he is my favorite teacher also. And I was only issuing CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. Not DESTRUCTIVE. The same way I would want someone to do me. If You see me making a misstep, please correct me. I seek the Face of God my Father. And none of us are perfect. None, not one. J W
