because I use Poetry to reach the lost for the Lord. I am in a state! Nobody has ever talked to me like this person. Help me for how is it possible that he calls himself a Christian and have the ability to belittle me like that. God Help me!
This is the scripture that he has been giving me.
(2Ti 4:2) Preach the Word, be instant in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.
I have been doing the above, you people should know?
Please pray for me.

Look I've also gotten this on here from people for a variety of reasons. God knows those who are his. No person can see your heart and say what your relationship with God is.
I'm sorry this person hurt you, but honestly blow it off--they have no idea what they are talking about (and again it isn't and will never be their call on who is and isn't a Christian).
All my best,
Todd

You need to consider the source. Who other than yourself and God can really know the condition of your soul? If you understand yourself as a sinner and believe that Jesus has paid that price for you on the cross and have truly repented of your sin then you are born again. That is the whole story of your birth but you are not expected to stay there. God has commanded that we learn more by staying in His Word and demonstrate our faith to the world through good works in accordance with His commands.
Notice that the Scripture quoted requires the Christian to reprove, rebuke, with LONG-SUFFERING. That is patience and love. If you are not being dealt with by a Christian in patience and love then you are not being dealt with in accordance to His command.
Don't worry so much about what others say about you as Jesus told us that we will suffer persecution.
Just be certain about yourself and continue to grow if faith.
Hope that helps.

I am SO SORRY that some Christian (NOT) would have said that to you. I have heard a few so-called Christians say things on here.....that show me they know NOTHING about God, but in fact are working for the opposite side. That is hurtful....I can tell you that we are NOT all like that. The way the God uses people is between Him and them. If God wants to use your poetry to speak to people...then that is a beautiful way to witness. Don't let someboday like that get you down. Who do you think is behind that? I can tell you it is not God....so, who else would make that person say something like that? No one but God can judge YOU....it is NOT for someone else to say whether you have been born again. I will pray for you to be able to forgive that person and let this go....it will not help you to hang onto it. It is THEIR problem! Continue with your poetry. I plan to read one. God bless you in your ministry.

Listen Little Darling! :)
the devils have no Mercy on AnyBody---even Children of GOD.
They try their Best to Discourage Children of GOD by USING Other Children of GOD to Attack them.
See, satan Divides us up and Uses WHO EVER he can use to do it with.
Don't let another Child of GOD who has been Decieved by satan----Decieve You!!!
When you Accepted Jesus as your Saviour YOUR Spirit Actually Got RECREATED ("SAVED")!!!
It dosen't Change Back to "Lost" just because somebody Else "Says" your Lost!!!
Now, the Reason you have Felt so Bad about all of this Nonsense is because of the spiritual Forces that are backing the Person who said you were Lost.
See?
satan has some power and that power can Affect your Mind and make you Feel BAD.
Rebuke satan and Those Feelings (OutLoud!) in the Name of Jesus, Forgive this Person and Pray for their Recovery out of the Snare of the devils and YOU WILL begin to Feel Better.
Jesus is LORD!!! :)
Hope this Helps.
p.s. I Use Poetry too!!! To Save the Lost!!!
Only, my Poetry is put to Music!
I AM a Musician for The Lord Jesus Christ Risen from the Dead.
I Write Songs for Jesus! ;)

Hon - you know John 10:10 - don't let the devil steal your joy.
Remember - the internet has as much validity as a public restroom wall. Writing that something "is true" is - by no means - a guarantee of varacity.
Offence - the greek word means to fall into a trap laid by evil.
Don't let this blind person's judgmentalism and inability to believe their version of God-in-a-box is capable of using multi-media forms for Ministry.
You will find people in this world who believe to have their picture taken is a violation of God's word - and for you to posess a driver's licence means you are in league with the devil. They are only comfortable with God in their particular box.
YOU know that our God IS a GOD and not man - to be limited in any way shape or form. Jesus said - "ALL is possible for they that believe." ...Just because they lack faith - don't let it wound yours.
When you have repented, and asked Jesus into your life, and accepted Him as your personal Lord and Saviour - you are born again. You have HIS assurance that you are HIS.
Pray for thier limited vision of God. Forgive them.
Walk in the light of His love.
Peace.

If you KNOW that you are then don't let him try to convince you that you aren't. Only you and God know this. This stranger doesn't. Sometimes people, yes even other Christians, are very judgmental of our faith and how we worship God with our lives.
God has given you the gift to write poetry and I think it is awesome that you are using it for Him. Keep your head up and don't listen to this person!

God knows what is in our heart and mind! We do the best we can with what God gave us. There are many different religions and many will say theirs is the right one and one has to be born again to go to heaven. Not true, God loves all religions, because they worship Him in their own way, so we should not judge. We must leave it up to God to judge!

Have you followed Acts 2 :38? If so you are born again. The bible is not open for personal interpretation.

Don't worry about extreme comments from this board. Just sit down and read the parable of the Prodigal Son and consider the type of heavenly Father you have.
There is nothing to worry about. You are doing fine.

If you have accepted the LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST as your personal LORD GOD and Savior and that God the Father raised Him from the dead,You are indeed Born Again.
