Mormons like to give testimonies. Unlike Mormon testimonies, I will seek to show that the testimony of my conversion to Christianity is based upon the teaching of Scripture. There are many that claim to have had spiritual experiences. It is seen under close scrutiny that these experiences have actually affect

Even miracle workers may be enemies of Christ. We are to be on guard against false ministers and apostles. All organizations, whether secular or religious, offer testimonials. How are testimonials evaluated? Are there false testimo

Not only may we deceive ourselves, the apostle John tells us: "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God..." I

The apostle tells us the nature of a true testimony in his gospel: “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come...he shall not speak of himself.. .He shall glorify me” John 16:13,14. A true testimony must glorify Jesus Christ. Glory given to another makes for an inva

Mormon testimonies consistently exalt Joseph Smith or the supposed truthfulness of the Mormon Church. In l Corinthians 15:1-4 the apostle Paul tells us

Do Mormons refer to these passages and the teachings contained therein when sharing their testimony? When Mormons give testimony to their faith in Christ, it is always supplemented by their larger testimony that Joseph Smith is a prophet an

d the Mormon Church is the only true church. The apex of Mormon testimonies goes beyond Christ to another, namely Joseph Smith.

My testimony can go no further than scripture. I confess by the grace of God the truth of what the apostle Paul teaches in l Corinthians 15:1-4. In another place he declares the fol

This was my condition. Paul goes on to say: “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through J

One thing I am certain of and that is this: there was and is absolutely nothing in me that caused God to give

Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
Which combination prod

I look to Jesus by giving him the glory. God gave me the gift of faith. I am saved by grace and even my faith is a gift. Ephesi

Ephesians 1: 4,5 supplies us the answer. “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world,

Was this salvation in my hands to choose or reject? If this were the case, then could I not glory in and of myself? How c

t?

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

an that be so? Because I would have done something others had not done. The following verse tells us that the predestination is: “according to the good pleasure of his will.” “So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy” Romans 9:16.

The cause of God's choosing or predestination is found in Him. If we insist that we played a part in God's choice, then human merit is brought into the picture. Salv

Within a synergistic scheme, salvation becomes a cooperative effort. My work takes away from the work of Christ. How? I made a contribution. I played a part in my

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

salvation. If I was not willing, then God could not save me. A synergistic scheme of salvation not only steals Christ's glory, it limits God's power. God can only do what I allow him to do within this type of system.

Again, I confess by the grace of God that: “Not by works of righteousness which we have don

There seem to be a ton of people in the world who want to work from home. So many in fact, that there are weasels are over the place making completely outrageous claims all in the name of working from home. This is perplexing to me.

Suicide is always a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Always. Even if it doesn’t look or feel temporary, it is. Also, you don’t get to come back. You don’t get to see how many people attend your funeral. It’s permanent.
