I, for one, have no unfavourable comment(s) to make. The truth of this and
all such matter(s) rests with a Person, not with a dogma. Some have yet to learn
of this.

Opinions
aside, brother John, could you clarify the above for me? I know that
you cannot be saying that you have always been saved, but that is what I
got at first reading.

You have heard of
"original sin?" What about "original salvation."
????? Anyway -- what I mean is that I have never
considered myself lost. That does not mean such was the
case. I was raised going to church. I grew up
in church. My dad was an elder in church. There has never
been a time in my thoughtful existence when I did not think God in Christ
died for me. I was baptised at age 12, back in '57. But I
knew I was going to commit to that ordinance years before. If
"repentance" means a change of mind, I have never had the need
to repent. Often the need to
confess. Am I the only one? I
don't think so. I am going to go hide, now.

Thanks
for the explanation. Better pull the covers over your head and pucker
up. You have admitted to something approaching the unforgivable sin and
I expect there will be comments that are not entirely
favorable.
