There's only ONE that's really important / critical: Salvation takes place when a person has FAITH (and that not of themselves it's God's GIFT Eph 2:8,9) in the SIN OFFERING (Isa 53:10) of Jesus on the Cross. when a person calls out to God in FAITH for salvation, then the Holy SPirit indwells them after which they will be able to understand The Kingdom / will of God and LEARN OF HIM.I'm looking for some input on the Fundamentals of the Christian faith that I can post on our blog And or website.

Hold dig deeper into all that you brought to my attention in this post and see what I can come out to it. Thanks Ted.YES...
Our GOD is named YHWH so Christ has all the attributes of the UNITY named YHWH.
YHWH is light so cannot create dark.
YHWH is love so cannot create that which HE hates.
YHWH is holy, that is, perfectly dedicated to HIMself, to the purity of HIS self expression, so HE would never create that which HE abhors by any means.
All sin therefore is created by the free will of HIS creation.
I hope your not disappointed, I'll be done with the 1st part soon.Looking forward to seeing it when your done.

Back in the day I was saved as the result of Baptist outreach, and propagandized by them in new convert's class, the one thing that "Stuck" was the truth that in all things GOD MOVED FIRST!!! God Convicted me of my SIN, and I knew that ONLY UNDER CONVICTION OF SIN was it possible for me to really Repent, and call out in FAITH for salvation. For a while I thought I was a "Calvinist" - until I found out the rest of what Calvinism was all about.I still Working on it but thanks for mentioning faith I'm definitely going to put that in.

I hear that... I think that might be the best thing I've ever read on any forum. I feel exactly the same way and went through the same thing. Personal testimonies like that are always better than Book learning. When it happens to you in life you know it's real. I'm so glad Jesus set me free.Back in the day I was saved as the result of Baptist outreach, and propagandized by them in new convert's class, the one thing that "Stuck" was the truth that in all things GOD MOVED FIRST!!!

I think you're right sounds like a good one to me also. I'll get to work on itOk.
This morning while relaxing upon waking up, I found myself thinking about what Jesus said that he came to give us life, that more abundantly. John 10:10.
In all my thoughts, what I found myself considering was totally different from how I previously viewed an abundant life.
Granted, I figured that's because I'm a slow learner and late bloomer.
God's abundance...
Psalm 16:11
In His presence there is fullness of joy and at his right hand there are pleasures forever more.
Going back to Genesis 1-2, and tying it together with Psalm 33:6-9, and Acts 14:17... God's abundance has given us everything we need to live, and learn how to live.
Then, from 2 Peter 1:3, he's given us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of him through his own glory and virtue.
I think that this would be a good one.
