He was excited about his recent conversion and subsequent baptism. I rejoice with him and lift him up in prayers. <br>     Just like Russell, I share the excitement of the saving power of Jesus. &#8230;and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. However, the ever-present enemy has also been alerted and this means that the spiritual attacks will come hard and fast at this babe in Christ. Whew. &#8230;.but, it&#8217;s true. <br>     I can&#8217;t\/won&#8217;t cover the rabbit trails this leads me to&#8230;.only the topic lines.<br><br>New Christians seek and some are lead away. They did not test the spirits to see if they are of God.<br>So many fall away, examples of past converts given back to the world. Larry Flint, Kanye West, Jim Bakker.<br>Others become unconscionable fanatics, veering off into outer space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"843\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gregmaxwell.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bbbb-843x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2079\" style=\"width:158px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gregmaxwell.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bbbb-843x1024.jpg 843w, https:\/\/gregmaxwell.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bbbb-247x300.jpg 247w, https:\/\/gregmaxwell.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bbbb-768x933.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gregmaxwell.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bbbb-1265x1536.jpg 1265w, https:\/\/gregmaxwell.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bbbb.jpg 1686w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c7bd0489e8cd609ddc14fbe0e71b65cc\">This is mainly about the celebration of eternal life. Everything we do and say,(every idle word)&#8230;will be weighed against us at the final judgement. Where do you stand? Personally, I am a sinner in need of a Savior. Jesus is the One full of grace and mercy and will always forgive us.
