hello gustokitty, dirtfarmer here
welcome to the forum.
When you state that you are a "lone ranger type Christian", are you referencing that because of some of you understanding of scripture is not according to "mainline doctrine"? Or is it because you are a recluse because people don't agree with your interpretation of scripture.
I have often stated that I am different from most believers in that I don't always agree with what they teach.
Example: In scripture I find two brides mentions.
1. Israel is Jehovah's bride. Isaiah 54:5, Jeremiah 31:32, Hosea 2:7, and Ezekiel 16:8. Then there is the "Church" which is the esposed to Jesus Christ and that wedding is future.
2. I adhere to the doctrine that if you are born of the Spirit into the body of Christ, then you are eternally secure. It is impossible to be "unborn" from the body of Christ.
It is o.k. to be different if it is based on what has been affirmed by the Spirit. The important doctrine is believing in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. Most of all the resurrection of Christ from the dead.
