Here's the OP, answer it.


It's almost here.
It's time to take a stand.
The battle is upon us.

It's allah and his army trying to take down Jesus and his saints.
I ask you;
"Who's side are you on"?

To join would be temporary, but to be born again is permanent.

How do you figure this?
If being born again is permanent, then joining will be permanent too.
The O.P,. is saying that we should stand up for Jesus.
If we're born again, we should WANT to stand up for Jesus!
So they're BOTH permanent.

I plan to be both for the rest of my life.

Hmmm! The Highway Patrol cheats, those glasses they wear are the same Aviator's Glasses I was issued in the Army.
 
Our team so far.

1. Rollo Tamasi
2. Reba
3. Jihn
4. wondering
5. Wrigley
6.Edward
7. Diane Cook
8. Roro1972
9.

Okay, that leaves Bill Taylor and Douglas Summers as people who have responded to this thread without clearly answering the OP.
If we are to defeat the enemy, we have to be a team.
Are you two in?
It's Jesus or bust!

Hi wondering, It is good to have zeal for the Lord, But without the Supernatural power of the Holy Spirit, zeal in the flesh is of no value, except for your own satisfaction (of the fleshy mind). Only the Lord adds to His body (Church) (Acts 2:41-47) by rebirth. You must be born again. (John 3:1-8). If you have any strength at all to contend for the faith, it comes from God.

The Crusaders of long ago raised an Army to fight the Muslim hoard. They JOINED together as an army for the lord. What sounds like an honorable thing had nothing to do with God's will, It was the will of the flesh to satisfy the will of man, usurping Christ's will and doing what man deems what God wants. We do not stand up for Christ, for it is never us for God, it is God in us. (Gal. 2:20) BTW, in the end, the Crusaders (The Army for God by man) were defeated and driven out of Jerusalem and into Assyria.(1209 A.D.)

Now there is a difference when men join the Army to defend their country. That is not fighting for Jesus, that is for preservation, and we go in God's mercy, giving our life for a civil planet. Joining is not permanent, Spiritual rebirth is. That is why a born again believer has eternal life, because there is no sin that was not paid for on the cross for those who are part of the body of Christ (born again) For Christ is our propitiation. 1 John 2:1-2. We do not stand up for Jesus because we are born again, but we walk in Christ Spirit and will because we have His nature.

I guess we can't agree here.
If it weren't for the Crusaders, Europe would be totally Muslim.
It took them to get Muslims out of here.

BUT - they're back. The Muslims, I mean. They say that by 2050 all of Europe will be Muslim.
So, yes, I think that one day I may REALLY have to stand up for Christ. And maybe even forfeit my life - who knows what's coming down the road.

There are those who say not to worry about tomorrow. That's nice when you live in Connecticut.
But when you live somewhere where the danger is at hand, you tend to see things in a different light.
Everything becomes more immediate - Today IS Tomorrow.

Are you aware that many have already given their lives for the Christian faith? Even those who aren't even believers!

So yes. I think it's time to take a stand, as the O.P. has stated.

Sounds like you're out Summers.
You can't walk the fence.
You can't make your own rules and still be part of the team.

Right now it's Jesus-8
allah-1

Many in the religious world do not agree on the Scriptures witness of rebirth and born again regeneration. Those that are eager to please God by self effort to show they stand with God, usually do it at their own convenience. It makes them feel like they are right with God because of their stance for God. But I'am a witness to the truth of the Scripture of regeneration, if to no other than Christ. I will tell you some time how the Lord revealed many truths to bring me to maturity if you are interested.
