I would like to welcome you all to my weblog. This is my first entry. I decided to start this as I was reading Curt Schilling’s weblog. For those of you who don’t know, Curt Schilling is pitcher in MLB. This past season he pitched for the 2007 World Series Champion Boston Red Sox. He is a veteran pitcher who has officially filed for free agency.
My hope would be that he came back to Philadelphia. It would be amazing to see him in that Phillies uniform again.
As for me… I am a freshman at Baptist Bible College. I am 21. I have no kids and no girlfriend. I love my family with all my heart. I love my God with all my heart. If you ask me my religion, I’d tell you I’m a Christian. If you asked me what type of Christian, I would tell you a “saved one.”
Now… you could label me as an arminianist (pardon the spelling on that), which is someone who is not a Calvinist. Calvinists believe in pre-destination and arminianists believe in free will. Basically. Now, there are different levels of each, and I won’t really get into that. I would call myself a protestant. But being at a baptist school, I’ll probably be lynched if I say that out loud. I believe in Jesus Christ. I believe that Jesus Christ was both wholly God and wholly man. He was born of the virgin Mary, and he was crucified by the Jews on Calvary. He rose from the dead 3 days later and ascended into Heaven 40 days after. He will come again. I believe in Heaven and Hell. Every single one of us is going to Hell unless you have confessed with heart and soul that Jesus Christ is Lord. John 14:6-7 reads “Jesus saith unto him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh the Father, but by me.’” (KJV). That is the truth. The only way to Heaven is by Jesus Christ. He died on the cross as payment for my sins. I was bought by the blood of the Lord.
Everything else is doctrinal. But that is the only piece needed for Heaven. If you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord and you have handed over your life to him, then you are saved. Live the good life, and go and spread the good word.
Have great day, and God bless.
Sincerely,
Tommy
