Salvation in this lifetime only?

[Allan]

I said this in the OP. You are right, I haven't studied this as well as a few other things that I will post about as time moves on, for myself. I find as I get older, I am less and less accepting of things I haven't studied for myself. There are times when I can't even find a starting point and then when I do, I see things in a different light that I am told too.

Such as the scripture that rbell posted. And with that, I find that I am more and more likely to question a point, if it doesn't have clear collaboration of other passages.

This last post of yours gives me a much better starting point. Thank you. I'll be back when I have had a chance to go through it all.

No problem. One of my BIGGEST issues in many churches is 'dictation' of what to believe (and that is it), and not often is there encouraged study of 'WHY' we believe it. Continue on and don't stop till YOU understand those -why- questions.
