I am a believer in Christ, who drew me by the Holy Spirit to respond to conviction and to His invitation. The finished work of His blood on Calvary and His death, burial and resurrection. There is no work I could do to bring me to Christ or keep me in Christ. I was a hopeless, depraved sinner who is forever grateful for the unmerited favor He has given me. And i know that my conversion was no surprise to God.

However, I am not an "ist" or an "ian."I am a Bible and Bible-alone follower of one Person - Christ. When we elevate a philosophy of a fallible man above the whole of God's Word and seek to use that philosophy to condescend over others who will be with us in Heaven...we violAte God's Word and find ourselves among those sorry members at the end of of the list found in Provers 6:19.

I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day. I have the Son, therefore I have life. I have confessed with my mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead. I am one whom God predestined to be conformed to Him. I have the spirit of adoption, am crucified with Christ, and am a new creation, old things having passed away.

I am one whose name is graciously written in the Lamb's book of life.
