Evidence for God from Science

God's Word is truth -- the Genesis account of creation Is God's Word telling mankind how this world / earth / people got here.

Every believer is given a spiritual gift at the time of salvation. No one Asks for one -- they are given by Holy Spirit.

I would agree that there are many spiritual gifts listed -- also in 1 Corinthians 13 / 14 or so. As for the apostles, speaking in tongues, prophets. Are they still gifts given by the Holy Spirit?

Maybe the concept of eternally secure gets a bad wrap is because the people who haven't really been 'saved' in the 1st place are observed continuing to do those things that they did Before and don't seem to have any problem with 'sinning'. They are acting like their salvation has merely been a 'get ...

The wages of sin Is death -- but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Jesus Christ took care of our sinfulness when He died on the cross and then He rose again from the dead to show that He was indeed the Son of God.
