You have never started such a thread. You have started threads of every topic under the sun except this topic.
Im waiting 😀

Maybe it is because it is your thing? Where did that term even come from
Once saved always saved" is that your creation? Anyways, you very rarely ever seem to ask anyone what or why they believe the way they do, or what their understanding is about a thing, you just tell them. Furthermore, I do not sense that you even care. What I read from you is... it is the rajk999 way or no way... everybody else is wrong and I am right. In another thread you have made reference to yourself being right over some 1.5 billion of other Christians (or something to that affect, don't remember what thread that was or exact wording just the distinction), even the way in which you started this thread reeks or arrogance... "I'm waiting 😀" Do you not see it?
Don't you ever get tired of this jag? Rajk999 has not cornered the market on what it means to serve God or be saved... not one bit.
â€â€1 Corinthians‬ â€13:1-13‬ â€ESV‬‬
http://bible.com/59/1co.13.1-13.esv
“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”

So faith, hope and love... abide these.
but the greatest of these is love.
Maybe it's time to stop creating division, and seek unity, after all don't we make claim to the same Lord? You have made the distinction between yourself and other Christians... Is their anything you are in agreement with regards to others? Do you think it possible that a man is saved and you not know it regardless of his 'doctrine'? You have said it yourself, only God knows what is in a man's heart. I wonder why you have an issue.
For starters, is it important to follow Jesus' commandments, absolutely it is but not only that... the bible is full of instruction on how to live, act, speak and even think. I agree with that.
