3.) I tend to be Calvinistic,
why aren't they properly identified here?
they could be the second largest group here
3.) I tend to be Calvinistic,
Because they feel like it.WHY ARE SOME POSTERS SECRETIVE ABOUT WHAT CHURCH THEY'RE AFFILIATED WITH?
It is strange that I am the only one that you seem to have problem in this thread.
You don't have much credibility to join in this discussion because we are all claiming Jesus' name and you are not.
You are showing stalkers trait, dear.
It is indeed puzzling and curious concerning the "pile on" to Meshak--especially when she began to quote--verbatim--from the New Testament's verses from Jesus that decry poverty and the marginalization of others.You're not a mainstreamer and you started attacking everyone else the moment you got here.

Well then, I hope you are praying for her?
GM has a specific question in regards to other people's religion and why they keep it secret.
You, OTOH, are notorious for making threads which seek info about the private lives of other members.
Because they've already encountered resistance from Bible believers, or at least from mainline Christians, and know many of us would have nothing to do with them just based on their doctrines. But they want conversation so badly (or in Meshak's case, attention) they hide where they attend/what they really believe as long as they can. It's dishonesty, and often not because they're afraid of debate, but because they don't want to be shut out.
Take Meshak, for example. She admits she's an ex-JW but will not admit that her core doctrines are still Watchtower, so she's refused to discuss them anymore. That's dishonest.
Sure sign of a troll and/or a cultist: ask them what "other" means, or what "Christian" specifically means, and they refuse to ever tell you.
Anyone who believes they have the truth of salvation, won't be hiding it.
They survive, but because they were abused they continue to unwittingly re-enact their own abuse onto others.
We treat others the same way we ourselves have been treated.
If a poster is deliberately cruel to others it is because s/he grew up in a family that was cruel.
I pray as Jesus taught to us to pray.
Well, Raven is a member of the Assemblies of God, a firm believer in the grace of God.
Being a Christian today is easy.
Just believe a packet of ancient theological statements and dogmatic stuff like "Son of God," "born of a virgin," "died for our sins," etc.
You don't have to suffer the slightest urge to change your own behavior. Just believe.
what church are you affiliated with?
New Life Mission, I associate with them. They are non-denominational. They believe that a saint has no sin, and that jesus blotted out all sin through being baptized first to take all sin, and then crucified after to judge all sin through his blood.
Anywho if anyone wants to know my faith then they can just ask.
