Brother, I agree with you one hundred percent, esp. when it comes to someone
obtaining full Bible salvation.  I posted a while back a statement stating
for one to do his or her best to live a godly, clean lifestyle separated
from this world.  That's also another key to obtaining salvation, _after_ we
obey Acts 2:38.  Mind you, however, doing the above only places one in a
saved condition; we won't be truly saved until that trumpet sounds and God
takes us out of here to stand with Him in His Kingdom forever.  Think about
it!  Streets of gold, walls of jasper...*contented sigh*  It's enough to
keep me on fire for Him...but I also have to realize I have to reach someone
else who doesn't know Him with this blessed truth that's been handed down to
us!

Enough ramblings from me. :)

In Christ,
Bro. Kerry-Michael Hazelton
