my friend
Imabeliever:
I have a friend that I work with who is a born again christian! I embrace the fact that we're both believers, but there are many things we dont see eye to eye on, so heres my question. I know only GOD will reveal to a person when HE feels it is time, but what do I say when he calls Ray a kelvenist ? I know its not true but what proof do I give that he is not a kelvenist! He also believes that when we die, we immediately go to heaven or hell and that JESUS went to hell after HE died, Ive tried to tell him what I've learned here and that these doctrines are unscriptural. All he says is ,"This L. Ray Smith, would be more believeable if he would have gone to some kind of bible school", but these are the very places that these false doctrines are spread! God has given me so much hope, love, and joy, through Bible Truths I just want to give the good news to all I can, especially friends and loved ones! Any help or advice would be greatly apppreciated! God Bless!

Probably 'Calvinist'.
Your friend is NOT going to burn for an eternity in Hell even if he believes in it. You're not going to burn in Hell for failing to 'win him' to the truth. You're probably not yet equipped to 'argue' with him. I wouldn't be either. Even if or when you are, you are not the One who has to drag him to Christ.
Continue to grow and develop the fruit of the Spirit. If he sees a different you eventually, you'll be a more effective witness. Concentrate on that, and on overcoming. You've planted a seed, clearly, but it may not be you who waters and harvests. Trust God.
Listen to Ray's bible study from 02-03-08. David linked to it earlier today. It's good, solid practical advice for just such a situation you encountered.

==
The kelvin (symbol: K) is a unit increment of temperature and is one of the seven SI base units. The Kelvin scale is a thermodynamic (absolute) temperature scale where absolute zero, the theoretical absence of all thermal energy, is zero (0 K). The Kelvin scale and the kelvin are named after the British physicist and engineer William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin (1824–1907), who wrote of the need for an “absolute thermometric scale”.

Here are some scriptures:
Psa 146:4 His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
Ecc 9:10 …for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goes.
Ecc 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything…
And about what your friend said... Can you imagine back in the New Testament time?
"This Peter guy would be a lot more believable if he was educated like the Scribes rather than being a fisherman."
