    Am I saved if I have a different biblical interpretation of the oneness of God?

    Yes, I believe that. I also believe I follow those scriptures you listed.

    Am I saved if I have a different biblical interpretation of the oneness of God?

    I believe I have a spirit inside my body, and that my spirit contains "me". I believe that when I die, my body decays in a grave, and my spirit goes into a spirit world. One day, because of Jesus Christ, I will be resurrected and receive my body back in a glorified form. At that point, if I...

    Am I saved if I have a different biblical interpretation of the oneness of God?

    I believe in the Bible, as does the church I belong to (the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). From it we interpret scripture that supports: A God head of three individuals (John 14:26, John 17:21) Continuing Revelation (Amos 3:7, Acts 3:21) Teaching the spirits of those who died and...

    Am I saved if I have a different biblical interpretation of the oneness of God?

    Thank-you for responding. I feel happy that you have entered into this relationship with God. I had a similar experience when I was 14. I have enjoyed His Spirit since then. What I would like to understand is why Christians believe that my unique interpretations of the Bible disqualifies me...

    Am I saved if I have a different biblical interpretation of the oneness of God?

    Thank-you. I have had my testimony shocked twice, once early on my mission, and once over a decade ago while studying about Joseph Smith on the internet. Both times I respected and trusted the Lord and took my concerns to Him in prayer, willing to be patient. Both times I recieved a sweet answer...

    Survey--all religions welcome!!

    I am a practicing member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 1) Do you believe that God exists? Yes 2) (If so--) Is God a personal or impersonal being or force? Personal 3) Does God have a personal interest in what goes on in our lives? Yes, very much 4) Do you believe that an...

    Am I saved if I have a different biblical interpretation of the oneness of God?

    Thank-you. First of, regarding your previous post, I agree with it. I personally think that I need more than just confessing that Jesus Christ is my personal Savior, I believe I must follow the path that he dictates. I believe that He saves me, and then expects me to obey Him. I am forever...

    Saved from my sins, and from living away from God in the afterlife.

    Am I saved if I have a different biblical interpretation of the oneness of God?

    I'm sorry I don't understand what "WHAT" refers to. Can you elaborate?

    Am I saved if I have a different biblical interpretation of the oneness of God?

    Thank-you I appreciate your acceptance and understanding. The church I belong to does teach that the Book of Mormon peoples lived in the Americas but has no official statement as to where in the Americas. As in individual I happen to believe that the first group, who came from the Tower of...

    Am I saved if I have a different biblical interpretation of the oneness of God?

    Thank-you. I think I might be getting closer to my answer. Do you believe that a person who confesses Jesus as their Savior is saved? If so, if that person, who is say a Pentacostal, believes that a preacher from a different Christian sect is incorrect in his interpretation of a scripture, for...

    Am I saved if I have a different biblical interpretation of the oneness of God?

    Thank-you for taking the time to explain that so thoroughly. I suspected that animosity might be a motivation for it, and you might be right that it's the entire explanation. As I mentioned in my first post, I have recieved one theological explanation, I'm just not sure it's universally believed...

    Am I saved if I have a different biblical interpretation of the oneness of God?

    Thank-you. It's also good to understand what the faith-path you belong to believes.

    Am I saved if I have a different biblical interpretation of the oneness of God?

    I believe that all things, including everything about Joseph Smith, will be revealed at the judgement bar. No one will wonder, guess, or just have faith at that point. Then, with a full understanding, she gets to choose, does she want Christ and heaven or not.

    Am I saved if I have a different biblical interpretation of the oneness of God?

    Yes I feel that way also personally. I still want to understand Christians who feel that I am not saved. I do not wish to argue or judge them, I simply want to understand.

    Am I saved if I have a different biblical interpretation of the oneness of God?

    Good point. I believe that those who go to heaven do so because they have reconciled with God. Yes people can (and should) reconcile with God during this life, but even people who do are interested in living with God in the next life.
