Well put, if your God is the Bible. Wouldn't you rather they believe in God first?
Edit: For the OP, my choice is (g), if only because this forum is already full of people who "think" they are those things without actually being those things.
Originally posted by SuzianneOne can learn the truth from the Holy Bible with guidance from the Holy Spirit. The study of the Holy Bible can bring one to the knowledge of God and belief in God.

Originally posted by johnnylongwoodyIt depends on your definition of ministry. I am sure he did not mean in the sense that all Christians serve the Lord by declaring His truths which is our duty. I am appointed to serve the Lord in a very limited way and that is not as a minister of the gospel. I instruct in only those areas that the Holy Spirit leads me, which is very limited. I don't believe God has given me a ministry to evangelise this forum or people in general.
Well then you just contradicted yourself.
You said God has not appointed you or
given you a ministry but yet you claim
you have been appointed by the holy
spirit.

Originally posted by twhiteheadSure, twhitehead . To paraphrase one of the English Empiricists whose name escapes me, 'We arrive at the truth through honest disagreement among friends'. Improvement of any conversation regarding the spiritual dimension of human life (as opposed to topics of a materialistic nature) begins with a premise of "Tolerance" of Others" embracing opposing points of view. Tolerance implies courtesy, not compromise of conviction at the outset. Myopic Nit Picking, Emotional Rants and Personality Attacks by (immature people with low self esteem) must be prohibited. "Honesty" of Thought and "Candor" of Expression are essential. All we have the privilege of requesting from each other is a fair shake, "Please Listen". (gb)
You could start by actually engaging in discussion.
