    Favorite Verse:
    I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ Liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the Faith of the Son of God, Who Loved me, and Gave Himself for me." Galatians 2:20
    I was saved at the age of 10, at a Methodist Youth Fellowship meeting, where the man came out and "had a message to share with us".

    I had no Bible or church of any kind, until my early twenties.

    A man gave me 500 sermonists on Salvation, sinners are dead, The Lord's churches, and Authority in Baptism. It all seemed right and when the Preacher turned from text to text to text and THEN said, "Here's what God says", I picked up on things rather quickly.

    Why not? The Holy Spirit had been with me as I traveled out to believe I came from a monkey, back to hearing for the first time that there was a Book called, "Genesis" and Two Testaments, in the Bible, and four Gospels...I didn't know.

    I was handed the works of C.D.Cole, then had T.P. Simmons' book assigned in Bible College.

    I saw a Billboard Ad for Lexington Baptist College and decided to "go to learn what I'd missed in Sunday School".

    Sure enough, I heard the name, "Abraham", for the first time, there, etc.

    The Lord called me to preach and I've done supply preaching and Vacation Bible Schools for the kids.

    We are currently IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS through the Good News Club.

    I teach devotion on Sunday Mornings and have "a work", online,
    and discuss the Index to Revelation, here: at WordPress.com

    The regular WordPress, with 600+blogs, is here Aware of The Godhead

    Enter your email address and receive notifications of new posts by email & be Aware of The GODHEAD. It is mostly John Gill adapted for the internet and the modern reader.

    To me, the works of these men, A.W. Pink, James Petigru Boyce, etc., and those of my Teachers at school and Preacher friends and, believe it or not, "The BIBLE", is what I consider I am, as opposed to, "A Calvinist", although, I get it.

    I put in those 600+ blog posts "What I Believe" and it is a work in progress.

    I consider my participation in Baptist Board Forums a ministry.
    "Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest."
    Luke 10:2

    No "puzzle".

    No reason to leave "Calvinism", since I first heard it.

    King James Bible
    "Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go?
    thou hast the words of eternal life."
    John 6:68

    No reason to leave The Lord's Kind of Church, where I first heard it.

    My current church home, Bryan Station Baptist Church, was founded in 1786 and still believes the same as it has through 40-something Presidents (Kentucky was not yet a state and John Handcock was President).

    We are Missionary and have started several works throughout the states, including my first home church, and around the World.


    Messages by my first Pastor, if you want to know "how I cut my teeth"

    Speaker: Bill DeRossitt

    Will you be His Disciple

    Have we Left our First Love

    Do we Hunger for God

    Message by my current Pastor, i.e., Sound and Balanced, Informative, and Compassionate:

    0.0.10 ALARM #22:
    “GIVE ME A GOOD REASON YOU WANT TO GO TO HELL” or BOW YOUR HEAD!


    His message; Pastor Brent Spears: "A Passion For Souls" (Proverbs 11:30)
    "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he that winneth souls is wise."

    We might as well take a loaded gun to people’s heads.

    begin at 24:00 minute mark.

    “Decisional Regeneration”

    Can you be Eternally Saved by just “deciding to”, signing a Commitment Card, or even “Praying”?

    Can anyone, “Make a Decision” for Christ??
    or “Make Jesus your ‘Lord'”?

    You may think you have done some of these things and yet still do not “feel” saved.

    Well, it may not be “Well with your soul”, so BE SURE.

    YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN.

    I am a "225-point" "Calvinist, since I believe there are many more points to God's Eternal Work of Salvation, thus the blog site, and yes, Those Points, and the rest of The Bible all Harmonize, Supernaturally.

    At: Aware of The Godhead:
    My Subject is ETERNAL LIFE,
    as PROMISED and
    REVEALED to MANKIND,
    by The ETERNAL GODHEAD,
    God The Father,
    God The Son &
    God The Holy Spirit,
    in Their ETERNAL
    WORD of GOD,
    The HOLY BIBLE.

    AWARE of The GODHEAD
    is an EXALTATION of
    The One and Only
    True and Living
    GOD of THE BIBLE,
    in order for you
    to Become:
    AWARE of The GODHEAD,
    from Eternity Past
    to Eternity Future,
    IN THE BIBLE.

    From ETERNITY PAST,
    ALMIGHTY GOD
    WAS PLANNING
    The ACTS of CREATION
    and
    THE PLAN of SALVATION.

    The Entire THEME
    of The BIBLE is JESUS CHRIST
    and
    The BIBLE is Written to Show:

    The ACTIVITY of ALMIGHTY GOD
    in the ETERNAL
    SALVATION of the SOUL.

    The ETERNAL
    SALVATION of the SOUL
    is The ACTIVITY
    of ALMIGHTY GOD
    &
    GOD HAS SAVED SOULS
    through "THE WAY",
    THE SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST
    in the SAME WAY;
    from the fall of the first man,
    and GOD WILL SAVE SOULS
    through "THE WAY",
    THE SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST,
    Until Jesus Comes Again.

    GOD SAVES SOULS, NOW,
    And GOD WILL SAVE SOULS
    in the SAME WAY;
    Until the End of the World,
    at the Second Coming of Christ,
    through
    "THE WAY", JESUS CHRIST.

    The Eternal
    Salvation of the Soul
    is the FULFILLMENT
    of an Agreed Upon
    and
    Covenanted Activity
    of Almighty God,
    as it was a Covenant Compact
    from Eternity Past,

    Among and Between
    The GODHEAD;
    GOD the FATHER,
    JESUS, GOD The SON
    and
    GOD The HOLY SPIRIT;
    in which Each Divine Person
    of The Eternal Godhead
    Agreed to take His Part
    in the Administration
    of the Gift
    of man’s Eternal Salvation,
    AS SHOWN IN THE BIBLE
    and
    by THE GRACE OF GOD
    UPON HIS CHILDREN,
    throughout Recorded Time.

    I go with The Bible and John Gill's understanding of Reprobation, but again, we are Missionary.

    LANDMARKISM

    "Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set." Proverbs 22:28

    "Truly the old landmark once stood, and having fallen, it was deemed proper to reset it."
    (The Baptist Encyclopedia, 1881, p. 868.)

    "[T]here are many elements in Baptist history which bear an obvious and direct relationship to the tenets of the Landmark system and which clearly demonstrate that the architects of the movement, 'the Great Triumvirate,' were building on a foundation in Baptist life which was already laid." - LeRoy B. Hogue, "The Antecedents of Landmarkism".

    As to the O.P.'s interest in "leaving", I am more, unashamedly, included to point folks my way.

    I work with Homeless folks every day, in and out of my home,
    and I ask them, "Do you think Jesus will Come Back today?"

    do not cease to pray for you,
