Would you be interested in looking into a baptist church?

I hope that you don't take this the wrong way, but I do know that the presbyterian church is pretty big into calvinism. It's not like that is the cardinal sin, but have you looked into other churches?

She says she has given her life to Jesus. I'll take her at her word. I leave the growth to the Holy Spirit and trust the "seed" has fallen on "good soil".
<br />
<h2>&nbsp;Matthew 13:1-9
</h2>
<h5>Jesus Teaches in Parables
</h5>
&nbsp;1That day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting by the sea.

&nbsp;2And large crowds gathered to Him, so He got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd was standing on the beach.

&nbsp;3And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, "Behold, the sower went out to sow;

&nbsp;4and as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up.

&nbsp;5"Others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil.

&nbsp;6"But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

&nbsp;7"Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out.

&nbsp;8"And others fell on the good soil and yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.

&nbsp;9"He who has ears, let him hear."

Be happy that she has found her way back and trust as she grows she will let the Lord lead her to where she needs to be.

I used to belong to the Baptist church. I became convicted by 2 Tim 3:5
2 Tim 3:1-7

1But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.

2For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,

4treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

5holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.

6For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses,

7always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

and found a group of believers where the power of the Holy Spirit is not suppressed. So maybe you should seek a different church.

Didn't feel so good did it? We each, you, me, CityGrl, every Christian, are where we are in our walk with Jesus. As we mature spiritually, we find greater meaning and Truth. Some remain "baby" Christians and some "grow up". Our salvation is not affected, but our blessings are.

Christian growth was a problem in Paul's time just as it is in ours.
1 Corinthians 3

Foundations for Living

1And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ.

2I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able,

3for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men?

4For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not mere men?

5What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one.

6I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.

7So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.

8Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

9For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.

10According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.

11For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

13each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work.

14If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward.

15If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

16Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

17If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.

18Let no man deceive himself If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.

19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God For it is written, "He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS";

20and again, "THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS."

21So then let no one boast in men For all things belong to you,

22whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you,

23and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God.

Hebrews 5:11-14

11Concerning Him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

12For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

13For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.

14But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.

Why don't you go away. Haven't you said you are an atheist? Why bother with what is in the Religion forum. Go find an anti-religion forum.

Where did I tip toe? I posted her quote. As to you posting in the Religion forum, you obviously can, but why? You are an avowed atheist. Why involve yourself? Rhetorical. I know why. To try to cause disbelief. You are a forum troll.

By the way, thanks for the red. :killingme
