Benjamin deBorde EVAN101 B22 LUO September 5, 2011 Testimony Paper Part ONE – My life before I came to Christ. My life before Christ is pretty much the typical testimony you hear.

Yes I had times where I felt God speak to me at various youth events but never really applied it to my own life. I didn’t really

I believe that this book Christianity 101, as its catchy title shows, purports to be a textbook of basic theology, and in all fairness there are some doctrines in there that are evangelical and orthodox. However, it soon becomes clear that is more a vehicle to convey the hermeneutic. In an ironic way, therefore, I agree with Bill Hybels’ verdict: However Christianity 101 is organized according to eight chapters reflecting, innocuously enough, the author’s “eight basic Christian beliefs”: I believe

Thanks for the quick response. I actually thought about this often, about how were the people of the Old Testament saved. What I see from the scriptures is that salvation in the Old Testament is more likened to preservation than the salvation in the New Testament which is the imputing of life.

There was no doubt about it, by most any standard Saul was good. In his letter to the Philippians, Paul describes himself likes this: if anyone else thinks he has reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for legalistic righteousness, faultless. In short, Saul had all the credentials that you could ever ask
