Some questions are not asked for information or revelation but for confrontation and aggravation.
We have to watch those devils and learn to shut the door on them.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
I have been warned that a man cannot have a friendship with a woman and their friendship not turn into a sexual relationship.
Personally, I don’t believe that this is an absolute truth but a matter of individual choice.
What do you feel about this?
As Sister Rebecca Wilcox likes to say:
“Don’t be shy. Leave a reply.”
I have noticed for quite some time that many believers hinge their salvation on their praises of God, i.e. the more they praise the Lord and speak words of praise about the Lord the more saved they perceive themselves to be and the more holy they appear to be to others. If their praise for God is offered through their sufferings and pains, then the better. This supposedly is an indication of their born again spirit.
Also, praising the Lord appears to be their primary means to receive their blessings from the LORD or to get their prayers answered.
I have also notice that there is significant talk coming across the pulpit that encourages folks to have a “Personal Relationship” with God.
The main focus of this message seems to be for each individual believer to develop a personal relationship with Father God through personal prayers.
Theses messages encourages folks to “Stay Prayed Up” and to give God all of the praises in order to insure the presence of God’s Spirit in their hearts and lives. It promises the hope of salvation and deliverance from the inevitable trials and tribulations that befalls every believer.
Now the question is…
Does the WORD of GOD say that praises and prayers are the keys to having a personal relationship with Father God? Does praise and prayer guarantee salvation, holiness and blessings? If so, please feel free to provide Bible references.
Everyone is invited to expound on this question in their own words.
Thank You!
The Word of God admonishes us by saying:
“He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.” – Matthew 10:37
“Wherefore, my beloved… work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” – Philippians 2:12
“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.” – 2 Corinthians 6:17
In light of these three passages of scriptures, are we willing to abandoned family and friends and stand alone in order to inherit eternal life?
[WARNING: In light of the recent legalization and acceptance of sexual immorality and perversion by the United States Supreme Court, TRUE CHRISTIANS ARE ALREADY CHALLENGED TO STAND ALONE.]
When the law of the State (Government, Church or Nation) contradicts the LAW of God, who will you choose to obey? Be honest in answering this question for the time has already come when we must choose between God’s LAW and human laws and traditions.
The wicked are very bold and outspoken in opposing God’s Eternal Moral LAWS. But How Bold Are We In Standing Up For Our Faith and Our God?
I WELCOME YOUR COMMENTS AND REPLIES.
Would you choose to obey the State (Government, Church or Nation) over obeying our God?
[WARNING!] You may have already done so.
How can we believe in Jesus Christ and not believe in obeying what he says?
Jesus said, “If you love me, obey my commandments.” (John 14:15)
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God…Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’” (John 3:3-7)
“Repent and be baptized [buried in water] every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38)
“But those who don’t believe [trust and obey] are already condemned because they don’t believe in God’s only Son.” (John 3:18)
LET’S KEEP IT REAL MY FRIENDS.
If we are not obediently entering into Salvation according to the Eternal Commandments of CHRIST, we are not saved!
Jesus says “if anyone enters by Him he will be saved… but all others are thieves and robbers.” (John 10:1-10)
Don’t allow the lying deceptions of denominations to STEAL your chance at abundant life in Christ Jesus.
Don’t allow the intoxicating anesthesia of counterfeit Christianity to cast you into a temporary state of euphoria and KILL your eternal hope of salvation.
Don’t allow entertaining fables, colorful lies and intellectual doctrines of demons to DESTROY your soul.
REPENT!!!
