My name is Scott, and I am delighted to be a member of such an encouraging group. I have already been edified and challenged by listening to sermons and by posts of members. I love being a part of a group who loves our Lord Jesus Christ and his word.
Here is a bit of my salvation testimony. My mother was part of a dead mainline denomination and married my stepfather (a Unitarian) when I was six. We went to that their services for awhile but quit going because it was too liberal for my mom. Through a housekeeper, I was influenced by Jehovah's Witnesses, So essentially I grew up as a child vague belief in one God, and little else.
During my first year of college I attended a few meetings of a Christian group because they were different in a good, attractive way. Some of them wrote to me over the Summer (that impressed me), but wrote as if I were saved, so their letters seemed strange. For instance, I remember thinking, "What does 'in Christ' mean?"
One of the guys in the group witnessed to me a great deal and we debated incessantly about the Trinity. I am thankful to say, that the power of God's word and the Holy Spirit won out as he showed me the Trinity in the Bible. It was then that I repented and trusted in Jesus Christ and his saving work on the cross. Glory to God!
(Rom. 10:9-10)
