Dear Ariel,
Yes, I have experienced the problem several times. Perhaps we should write to Lockman for possible technical modification. However, before any resolution made, an alternative to secure our draft is to first write on a word file and copy and paste onto the post.
Shalom

Dear Mamametal:
I don't think it is at all pathetic that you've asked. God put Christians in a network (the church) for a reason. We are to help each other.
I had the same question in mind as CDBJ. The first question that always comes to mind when I hear of a story such as the one you've shared is "What makes you sure you are saved?" If I hear an answer back that goes something like.. "I remember talking with the preacher once and he told me to pray.." or "I remember the feeling I had..." that usually sends up a red flag. Salvation isn't based on whether or not you said the right prayer or talked to a preacher. It is not based on a feeling, either. Please hear me with grace and understand I've been in those shoes. I believed I was a child of God for 13 years. I'm thankful every day that God opened my eyes and helped me understand that I was not.
Salvation comes from an understanding of our condition as a sinner, seperated from God, facing His judgement in the future. The Bible says that the payment for this sin is death and that Christ became that payment for us when He died on the cross. He took our sin and gave us His righteousness. We did not earn it.
As far as hearing from God, We hear from God through His Word. I cannot express to you the utmost importance and value of daily time with God through Bible reading, in prayer as well, but reading His Word can't be left out. When I began reading His word, I 'heard' from Him more and more. The more I read, the better I know my God. I encourage you to do the same. Have you perhaps tried any bible studies?
I pray that you will read this response with the love that it was written with. I've been in your shoes. Different circumstances, sure, but the uncertainty and frustration it breeds are surely similar. My prayer for you is that you do in fact know Christ as your savior and will begin to know a beautiful relationship with Him as you start chasing after Him through His Word.
In Christ,
Bojangles207 |

Shalom dear Sister,
Copying and pasting certainly would be the smartest thing to do - but smart doesn't always show up at 2am, hehehe. And I'm very guilty of not doing the smart thing even at 2pm. :o) |

Dear Ariel,
Well, what I have suggested to you, I - myself didn't do it thus experience the same mistake a couple of hours ago :-( That makes me recall something in the Mere Christianity by C.S.Lewis that : men seldom need to be taught, but to be reminded of [I don't remember the exact wordings].
By the way, it would be nice for forum users to know each other better if you could fill in your user profile as I see that you have been registered for about 6 months.
I sure hope you enjoy the forum and we may learn and grow together in His Holy Word.
Shalom

MAMAMETAL,
We get answers everyday one way another. The question that arises is are we listening. God doesn't ignore any of us. You say that after fifty
years you finally heard from The Holy Ghost. If I may interject, If you are truly a disciple of Jesus Christ His Spirit has been with you all along. Col 1:27, Acts 2:38. What are your expectations when you pray. Consider Phil 4:19 when you are praying. God may not answer as you expect but I can guarantee you what ever the answer, It will be for His glory and your good.
Ro 8:28,29.
In Him,
lionheart |

Dear ninaharley,
You may use the "Bible text search" feature provided by the forum on the right. You just need to type "musician" onto the "search word" box and it will automatically list out all relevant scriptures for you.

Shalom bjb61,
The Song of Moses can be found in Deut. 33:1-43 and a bit of further info concerning this prophetic song in verses 44-47.
I know that there is a song called the Song of Moses (a beautiful song, I love it) which supposedly is taking place in Rev. chapts 4 and 5 but I cannot find where the songs mentioned in those chapters actually call their song by that title. I skimmed the later chapters of Rev and still couldn't find the songs being attributed to Noses. |

Steve Camp has a good discussion of this at
http://stevenjcamp.blogspot.com/2005/08/how-wide-is-narrow-roadthe-gospel-of.html
"The age of accountability simply means that there will be a time when a child has matured to an age that he is morally responsible and culpable for his own actions and can fully understand the gospel, his own sin, who the Lord is, what is repentance, faith, grace, etc. to inherit salvation. Up until that time, the child is seen as in a state where they are not culpable spiritually and upon their death are granted instant heaven. Not one proponent of this kind of teaching can cite one verse, anywhere in Scripture, where this is taught. Not one--and that should be a spiritual red flag." |

15 But the Lord said to him, “Go! For this man is My chosen instrument to take My name to Gentiles, kings, and the Israelites.
Acts 13:2-3 (HCSB)
2 As they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work I have called them to.”
3 Then after they had fasted, prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them off.
Romans 1:1 (HCSB)
1 Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle and singled out for God’s good news—

In your saying "God imputes forgiveness to an infant at birth until he reaches the age of accountabilty."
Need clarification I can take your statement two ways. What would this imputation of forgiveness be for?

God's day to you, G. Preston,
This is an extract from my post 138120:
I believe there are only two camps - righteous and unrighteous. So the babies were condemned, because they were unrighteous. When Abraham pleaded for Sodom, I believe their were babies, yet they were not considered righteous. God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah there were less than ten righteous (Gen 18:16-19:25) and only the righteous have eternal life, the unrighteous, eternal punishment (Mat 25:31-46).

Mamametal: Reading between the lines of your question, I think I hear you say a few things of importance. I think you may be in a church that says unless you speak in a language given by the Holy Spirit you have reason to doubt your salvation. Am I right?
You have given a lot of time to trying to hear God speak to you and have not really heard Him. Is this correct?
I am risking that what I think you are saying to give some advice. God speaks to us most often by reading HIS WORD. The Holy Spirit uses the Bible to answer prayer, and direct our path, give us correction, peace, and courage just to name a very few areas. In HIS WORD He answers our prayers, most of the time.
In over sixty-five years, I can count on both hands the times I have heard the silent voice of God speaking to me. His voice is silent, but there is no doubt when He has spoken. I can tell you when such times I did hear Him there was no doubt.
Once the LORD spoke to me and He gave me a very stern warning. Latter the person I was warned about, I went to and told them what the Lord said to me. That person said they had prayed the very words, God had spoke to me. That was a life changing moment, I can't go into.
I can not stress enough how important being consistantly in reading the Scripture is. I pray and know this will help you. Blessings.
