I have a question about a person who gets saved at a very young age and then when much older questions if it was true salvation. As a child there was not much change and as a teenager did not grow in the Lord. There was no spiritual growth etc. I guess my question is how can you tell if a young child is really saved? Many adults today, I believe question if they where really saved as a child.

My question is that on several occasions diviners have said that I come from the sea. It appears that a spirit follows me and sometimes the diviners see it. One of them once told me that he does not think I will go to heaven because of that. Is that true now that I have received Christ as my Lord and savior?

Do you think taking the mark of the beast involves something far more sinister than just a means of controlling buying and selling, perhaps the changing of your DNA and your very soul belonging to Satan?

Some friends and I have been doing some Bible study on odd topics and this week the topic is can you renounce your salvation? I think not because the word says God will not be mocked and it also says , he will not lose one of us. But one person in our group thinks that you can renounce your salvation. I think if you do you were never truly saved to begin with. Are there any scriptures you would have if you agree or disagree with me?

My son, age 12, asked if Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross also covered other similar beings – maybe on another planet – if they exist. I think that John 3:16 answers the question by stating “God so loved the world” . But maybe the original text states it differently? Maybe its not necessarily only THIS world? Would you tell us if the original text has a different meaning? Thank you for giving a mother and her son a reason to discuss God.

A question on 2 Peter 3:3-4; who are the scoffers? Are they in the body of Christ? Do they not believe that Christ is coming back, or that he isn’t coming back soon or, that it cannot be known? The pastor at my church believes the Bible says we cannot know when the end is near, and so does not address the subject. Is he a scoffer? He does expositional teaching from the Bible every week and does believe in the rapture, he just does not believe that current events can indicate where we are as regards to prophecy. I appreciate his avid defense of the gospel and his desire to spread the good news, but I have been discouraged by his unwillingness to address what seems obvious to me, that we are quickly approaching the return of our Lord.

I know that the anti-Christ will work out a 7 year covenant with Israel which will be a sign of the beginning of Daniel’s 70th week. I have just read Rev. 6 again (the seal judgments) and I don’t see how Israel can be at peace with all of these terrible judgments taking place. Does it mean that Israel will be at peace (literally from war only) although the opening of the 2nd seal brings war. Are these judgments solely for the Gentiles with Israel being immune? Could it be that everyone is so preoccupied with their own problems that they leave Israel alone?

I am having problems staying on track with the Lord. I find myself doing well for a month or two and then suddenly I’m back to chasing worldly desires and giving into temptation. I feel so unworthy of His love. What should I do?

I believe one of the main misunderstandings about being born again is John 3:5, where Jesus says to Nicodemus “The Truth is, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit”. To many people being born of water means being baptized as a believer, and some also say being born of the Spirit refers to the baptism of the Holy Spirit thus making one of both of these baptisms a requirement for salvation. Also believing means more than just having a mental assertion, it means to cleave to the point of surrendering ones life if necessary for the belief. What do you think? Could you touch on this on this point?

Not just one prophecy teacher teaches that you can take the mark and still be redeemed. I heard several other well known teachers agree with this on a you tube clip I watched. I really have enjoyed these men’s teachings on other subjects. This teaching could cause people that are here through the tribulation to take the mark to survive thinking they can still be redeemed. What is your opinion on following their teaching if they teach this?
