A question for Gary

[Andrew]

I just watched your "I believe in universal salvation, now what?" video and I was just wondering two things: when you had your born again experience - were you a believer in ET, and then God revealed that he was going to save everyone? And What made you come to Christ in the first place?   

tHANKS aNDREW

[Andrew]

bAsically, could you tell me as much of your experience coming to God as possible and the conditions in which you are saved. I'm just trying to conivince myself that your experience that everyone will be saved was from God


thanks

Andrew

[marie glen]

I'm not Gary but I was not taught by churches.. and almost always, or that is not long after beginning to read the Bible, I believed in Universal Reconciliation (but thought of it as universal salvation). So I believe ppl are taught to believe the ET way and it becomes a habit. (One hard to break.)

Andrew, Gary isn't often on here.  Most communication about the forum to him goes second-hand.  I will contact him with your query and ask him to address it here.  I think it would be good for all to see. 

[Andrew]

thanks jabcat

He has written his testimonial in several articles that are around on both this and What The Hell Is Hell? I just wish I could remember which ones. It's quite long so it'll be in the longer articles.

Edit: OK, here's one of them, I think. I imagine this is what you want unless I've misunderstood you or the content somewhere:

Gary Since Acts 4:12 states what it does the Hebrew Messiah being a Hebrew this only NAME would be a Hebrew NAME. Would you be so kind as to check out the Facebook page Hallelu-YAHwehShua? True love in our Resurrected Hebrew Messiah's NEW NAME. Hallelu-YAHwehShua

Paul speaking to the Hebrews -

"The Lord has given us this command,

"I have placed you here
    as a light
    for the Gentiles.
You are to take
    the saving power of God
to people everywhere on earth."

From the Hebrews.. to the nations.. one telescoping.. from the gentile believers.. to the rest.. another present and future telescoping..

Jesus said to them, "This is the work of God, that you should believe in Him whom He has sent." - Jn 6:29

Jesus said "A new commandment I give to you, that you should love one another." - Jn 13:34

And this is His commandment, that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another, just as He gave the commandment to us. - 1 Jn 3:23

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. - Galatians 3:2)


....1 Corinthians 15

22 For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But, each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ's 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He has put an end to all rule, authority and power. 26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. 27 For "He has put all things under His feet." (dominion, power) 28 ...that God may be all in all.

[sheila]

John 17;11 Protect themby the powerof YOUR NAME..the NAME YOU GAVE ME.....GOD SAVES/ANNOINTED[BY MY SPIRIT]

   spirit of grace and supplication[to ASKearnestly] anything you ask in My name.ASK and ye shallrecieve,knock..and the door shall

  be opened.  A house of prayer for all men...no longer a den of robbers and thieves. Surely the desire of the nationscome.......tothose

  formerly told...NOT MY PEOPLE...itisbeingsaid YE ARE THE SONS OF THE LIVING GOD!!!!!!!!!

     GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH!   where lawlessness abound...GRACE ABOUNDS MORE ABUNDANTLY!!!!!!!

[sheila]

Proverbs 23;6  do not eat the food of a stingy man,do not crave his delicacies.. For he is the kind of man who is always

thinking about the cost. Eat and drink, he says to you...but his heart is not with you..

   But...there is a BANQUET goingon...well oiled dishes..to remove the shroud. the Master of this banquets heart is with you,if

  God be forus,who can be against us? NO MORE HUNGER,NO MORE THIRST,NO MORE TEARS....the former things have passed away.

   GOD HIMSELF WILL WIPE AWAY ALL THE TEARS FROM OFF OUR FACES.........the TRUE SAYINGS OF GOD.

Wonderful !!   :HeartThrob:
  Seeing the pattern   here in this  cause of events , 

  When the dragons flood  come and  the earth helped ,''the woman '' to  swallow it up , this can explain   how  so many are deceived
This evil was  ''swallowed up ''    as death holding them prisoner within them all    , and when  the  washing of the Word come to clean   their minds with   the law  of God  ,  hearing His voice  in the water baptism  [ this is my son  in whom I am well pleased ]  was a sign of the Son of  man becoming a son of God      , Jesus  always made the example to fulfill all righteousness we are to follow after   as a pattern   in my opinion .
  When we  see all the things done in the  Fathers name  by the Son , being the WORD OF GOD  in heaven  ,   Jesus Christ is His name  , and there  is no name under heaven   by which we must be saved   ,   this name is   spread abroad  in the earth  as  the seed of  salvation of God   by faith   in Him ,,,

  Not by strength or by might , But By My Sprint says the Lord , we see that the force  was not abated in  Moses  , but the kingdom of God had always come by force till John the baptist     ,  Jesus was going to open heaven for all by   His cross

  and send the Holy Spirit and  fire baptism   , this was the same pattern spoken of in the revealing of Christ  [Day of the Lord or 1000  year reign ]    as the sons /kings of the east being prepared those being the Sons of GOD  revealed    though the Lord Jesus Christ making the way   and by the Spirit of prophecy  , Jesus Christ testimony   are the promises of God  the Father  fulfilled  by the mouth of the prophets  of old   and though His one of a kind Son promised in the fullness of time  HE was sent  over 2000  years ago or 2 days ago in Gods sight   , a Day is a 1000 years , this Holy Spirit and fire baptism is the  loosing on earth as it is in heaven and the binding on earth and it  is in heaven , your body is dead  because of sin , but   you are ALIVE because of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ  to swallow up death in Victory   in HIS  HOLY NAME .

That He Himself knows being the Lord of lords and King of kings .

The KINDLED Fire  that the Lord would send upon the earth to dry up the dragons flood [ Luke 12- 49-54]     the power of both  laws working  in  death and Life  , that are yours and all  things are yours and you   are Christ and Christ is Gods    1 Corinthians 3:23   Fulfilling Every Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of God , not just the bread alone ..

  Such are the  sands of the sea shore exposed  by the drying up of the sea till it is no more sea and the stars of heaven in the night  , when the Day Star come   and the Light of the Son /Sun rose up at noon Day   would the promise of Abraham's seed as a father  of faith  be fulfilled By Gods Word to him by His Own Spirit of Life and the rest in Gods  7TH DAY SABBATH rest be known to all whom believe His Word by His Spirit  dwelling in them and doing the works of old .  ..

   Rev 16 The First Six Bowls of Wrath
...11and curse the God of heaven for their pains and sores; yet they did not repent of their deeds.

12Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the East. 13And I saw three unclean spirits that looked like frogs, coming from the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet....

Isaiah 11:15
And the LORD will utterly destroy The tongue of the Sea of Egypt; And He will wave His hand over the River With His scorching wind; And He will strike it into seven streams And make men walk over dry-shod.

Isaiah 41:2
"Who has aroused one from the east Whom He calls in righteousness to His feet? He delivers up nations before him And subdues kings. He makes them like dust with his sword, As the wind-driven chaff with his bow.

Isaiah 41:25
"I have aroused one from the north, and he has come; From the rising of the sun he will call on My name; And he will come upon rulers as upon mortar, Even as the potter treads clay."

Isaiah 44:27
"It is I who says to the depth of the sea, 'Be dried up!' And I will make your rivers dry.

Isaiah 46:11
Calling a bird of prey from the east, The man of My purpose from a far country. Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, surely I will do it.

Jeremiah 50:38
"A drought on her waters, and they will be dried up! For it is a land of idols, And they are mad over fearsome idols.

Jeremiah 51:36
Therefore thus says the LORD, "Behold, I am going to plead your case And exact full vengeance for you; And I will dry up her sea And make her fountain dry.

"vanity of vanities.." said the preacher (Solomon) in Ecclesiastes, "all is vanity".. man's world and ways
   - - "vanity" - #H1892 "vapor"

...Revelation 12:15, "and the serpent" (guise of the dragon, vs 16) "spewed water like a flood to wash the woman" (the faith) "from off the earth.."
  - - verse 16, "but the earth will open her mouth and swallow the flood.."

Joel 2:21-23
Fear not, O ground;
Be joyful and rejoice,
For Jehovah does a great thing in what He does.
22 Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field;
For the open pastures are springing up,
And the tree bears its fruit;
The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
23 Be glad then, you children of Zion,
And rejoice in the Lord your God;
For He has given you the former rain faithfully,
And He will cause the rain to come down for you—
The former rain,
And the latter rain in the first month.

Joel 1:9-10
9 The grain offering and the drink offering
Have been cut off from the house of the Lord;
The priests mourn, who minister to the Lord.
10 The field is wasted,
The land mourns;
For the grain is ruined,
The new wine is dried up,
The oil fails.

Joel 1:4-5
4 What the chewing locust left, the swarming locust has eaten;
What the swarming locust left, the crawling locust has eaten;
And what the crawling locust left, the consuming locust has eaten.

3 "For behold, in those days..
When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem,

And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat

Joel 3:12-13
"Let the nations be roused; let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit to judge all the nations on every side. Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full and the vats overflow-- so great is their wickedness!"

...an angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people.. another angel followed, saying, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen"...  I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle.. Then another angel ...he also having a sharp sickle.. the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.. from Rev 14

...and the wild branches (Gentiles) were grafted in.. Romans 11:17

Joel 3:14-21
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!
For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and moon will grow dark,
And the stars will diminish their brightness.
16 The Lord also will roar from Zion,
And utter His voice from Jerusalem;
The heavens and earth will shake;
But the Lord will be a shelter for His people,
And the strength of the children of Israel.
17 "So you shall know that I am the Lord your God,
Dwelling in Zion My holy mountain.
Then Jerusalem shall be holy,
And no aliens" (not purified,perfected/none of carnal character)
"shall ever pass through her again."
18 And it will come to pass in that day
That the mountains shall drip with new wine,
The hills shall flow with milk,
And all the brooks of Judah shall be flooded with water;
A fountain shall flow from the house of the Lord
And water the Valley of Acacias.
19 "Egypt shall be a desolation,
And Edom a desolate wilderness,
Because of violence against the people of Judah,
For they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 But Judah shall abide forever,
And Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 For I will acquit them of the guilt of bloodshed, whom I had not acquitted;

And Jehovah will be residing in Zion."
