Thank you Judy for sharing a little about your journey. I too was raised in a “christian” home but there was no teaching about salvation much less about real Bible doctrines other than the Denominational traditions etc. I was saved only after my stupidity led me to legal problems and the hard lessons of loosing everything. But that is where God wanted me to be so that I could listen to Him. I took some lessons with the Grace School of the Bible but didn’t finish and then got a little lost again pursuing my own ambitions. When that too ended in failure, God had my full attention. I knew the message of Grace so I began to seek out others that seemed to have a better understanding than I did and I found Pastor O’Steen as you did and this opportunity. I am close to finishing the formal coursework and Im not doing it for any other reason than to come into a fuller knowledge of Christ and God’s plan for us today. I live in a small town in Montana and know of no churches or other believers in this area that understand Pauls apostleship or the issues about the KJB and Gods word.
It is a pleasure to hear from you. I do try to interact with other likeminded believers on FB. If you would like to contact me there you are welcome to. Pepe Lopez is the name I use there.
I would love corresponding about any thing you find that might be edifying in the future. May God bless your studies with HBI… for His glory.
