Write down things you've done that should grant you the prize of immortal life?
Dave in Tenn:
http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,10844.0.html The entire conference.
http://bible-truths.com/audio/INHERITTHEKINGDOM.mp3 The section under consideration.
The question Ray asked was: write down three things that would qualify you for the Kingdom. Let's not argue over the question, but 'pretend' we were there and do it.
Now, he didn't ask anybody to come up and read their answers, so I hope Nelson didn't intend to put pressure on 'us' to post ours. But it's definitely worth thinking on.

So I guess you got a long way to go Arion.
Actually thought I would hear some testimonies from those who've had the truth for a minute.

If you would of read what I said a little closer instead of rushing through my comments you might have noticed this;
Obviously if any are of the very elect there are things that we will do and have done in us and through us in this lifetime but it's all of God.
Ray would not of been in disagreement with that. The thing is are our works of us or of God? If they are of God then we have no room to boast. I do not deny that I have a lot to learn. You might discover in your walk when you see the beast within yourself that you also have a lot left to learn.
Dave in Tenn:
These may disappoint anybody looking for great signs and wonders, but here goes.
First and foremost, I understand what the NAME of Jesus means and I believe on His name. I believe on it not just for myself, but for every person who's ever lived and ever will. So far I've not lost the faith.
As a corollary, I've learned in some measure just what Paul meant by "we are saved by grace, through faith" and, though I'm far from perfect, I've experienced this truth.
I have "come out of her" and "been cast out of the synagogue" on many occasions and in many ways.
Though I can't say I have been personally hated by all men, I've been hated by some who should know better and by more than one 'type' of man. Much of this happened before I knew how important it was. I've learned not to be surprised when it happens, but to rejoice. "Considering my own self" and all that means keeps me from being too prideful on these occasions.
I can't 'glory' in any of the above...and not just because I'm very much a 'work in progress' and not a shining example of discipleship and a clean conscience. "The Faith" was a "gift of God" beyond any shadow of misunderstanding to any who know how it came about, and more importantly by ME. And that's what started all of this.
John from Kentucky:
I was at that 2009 Conference and heard what Ray said. I listened again to the 2nd clip that Dave attached.
Towards the end of the clip Ray stated that it was God who would give us the victory.
What more can be said? If God gives us the victory, then it's not us but God. Therefore, we should give all the credit to God.
We have been asked to give "testimonies". That's a very Christian sounding word. I cannot give a "testimony" because I am not a Christian. Neither was Jesus. The very thought of giving a "testimony" gives me the spiritual dry heaves. I walked away from all that stuff years ago. Not going back.
