Haven't you ever heard, "A man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still."

That means they are unteachable! And without naming names, that certainly applies too many that make comments on Sermon Audio.

Luk 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

Luk 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

Luk 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Those verses speak for themselves about self righteousness. A prayer is calling out to God for mercy. Michel Vick's exact words are not important because He only needs God’s acceptance and He has assured us in His Word that He will do that for new converts.

Rom 10:10 For with the HEART man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Rom 10:11 For the Scripture saith, WHOSOEVER believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Rom 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over ALL is rich unto ALL that call upon him.

Rom 10:13 For WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

MV made a public profession in front of millions, so I think that was a good start. These scriptures do not qualify ANYONE from doing this because Whosoever” and “All” mean just that.
Where is the rejoicing when a sinner comes home? Your self righteous doctrine is not God's plan of salvation, but a mere man!

Thank you both for taking my comment in the way it was intended. I have the same feeling toward Catholics as you do. I was not a member of the church, but I have many close friends that are Catholic and I have supported the church missions.

For many years I was deceived by the false teaching of the Catholic church, and when witnessing to Catholics, I used to be very impatient and get upset when they argued or defended their doctrine. I would get angry and take their rejection personally. In doing this, I would say something that pushed them away from the cross, instead of pushing them to the cross until I realized they were rejecting Jesus Christ and not me. (Mex Mike suggested once that if you ask them first to explain the difference between a Catholic and a Christian, it gives you a good opportunity to explain to them and that is much better.) Since only God knows what their heart condition will be before they die, these verses comes to mind.

1Co 13:1 “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.”

Pro 11:12 “He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbor: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.”

Remember others are reading this and Jesus Christ had compassion for the lost. When you are charitable toward that person, you won’t be closing the door for someone else to share the gospel at another time.

While evangelism is definitely important, it is getting a billing that God did not assign to it. Quickly, name me your favorite passage admonishing you to soul win from the epistles Romans through 3 Jn.....The point is, the knowledge of our wonderful God will provoke us to holy living which includes evangelism."

"The world was dominatd by one great imperial power in the first century. Rome ruled supreme everywhere it cared to expand. It's authority was limited only by it's crude communications network. That obstacle now overcome, and Rome (the Vatican State) is again wielding an incredible influence in the world. No government can afford to take the pope and his hierarchy lightly. Rome is rapidly forging Antichrist's one-world government and religious system."

Dr. Jack Trieber of the North Valley Baptist Church gave an excellent sermon on "Seperation" last Sunday which included men and womens dress. It is archived on their website at www.nvbc.org/ The entire church service is recorded, but you can fast forward to the sermon if you want.

Thank you for mentioning the message"10 Shekels And A Shirt" as I had never heard of Paris Reidhead. I listened to it and I am lost for words. It was one of the strongest sermons I've ever listened to and I have heard many sermons in my lifetime, but not like that one!
