Since when is the Holy Spirit prompting one to embrace Jesus as ones Savior a work of ones self and not a work of God?

Yes indeed, there are 401 sermons by Leonard Ravenhill on SA.
And I shall try to listen to all of them, although I find it difficult to listen to audio sermons. Thanks for reminding me! I am now able to download sermons at last due to a better internet connection, and it is proving most wonderful. Praise God!!

Brother Saint Michael, New York,
Yes it is indeed an encouragement to me, and I wish you well as you seek the Lord together. What joy!
I am digging around for more videos or sermons by Leonard Ravenhill. I always thought he was an American, having heard him back in the 80's on Trans World Radio Monte Carlo, but it turns out he is English, who moved to America in the 50's and went to his eternal rest in 1994, buried in Texas.
Thus far, I have The Revival Hymn, and Facts of Revival, and am experiencing somewhat of a shakeup. The chief purpose of a man on earth is to bring glory to God through his life, and that can only happened if the man is fully crucified, dead, buried, resurrected with Christ, and fully committed to loving, serving, worshipping and obeying the Lord, that the Lord may have the glory through him.

Baptist teaching states that the Holy Spirit prompts individuals to embrace Jesus as their Savior. And that is not a work of ones self but is a work of God.

Of course not all Catholics are Christians. But there are some Catholics who are Christians by reason of having embraced Jesus as their Personal Savior by asking Jesus to become their Savior and trusting in Him alone for salvation.

I never saw the post. But if he asked whether the military engaged in the murder of the innocent, you just answered his question soldier.

Do you crave evil so deeply, you cant recognize Catholics are Christian? Are you so blinded as your false prophets are?

Just an observation: I understand what "all things whatsoever I have commanded you" means. And since the Republican Party official platform is against abortion and homosexuality then the Republican Party is doing what God commands by being against abortion and homosexuality. What makes you believe I have a personalized religion? I don't have my own religion as I am Catholic.

Yoder's question was on the order of how many people did Jim kill while in the military. Disgusting. I have no time for thankless parasites like Yoder who take advantage of all the rights and freedom this country offers yet despise the patriots and military which serves to preserve those rights and freedom.
If you don't like the fact that freedom isn't free.... get out of my country.

Then the official Republican Party platform is not against abortion and homosexuality? I have a wrong view of religion? I accept that salvation comes only through trusting in Jesus alone for salvation. Since when is that a wrong view of religion when that doctrine comes directly from the Bible?

The Republican Party is the party of Jesus since the official Republican Party platform is against abortion and homosexuality.

John Yurich USA wrote:
I do so trust in Jesus alone for salvation(Which is what the Gospel is). I sure don't trust in Baptism, the Sacraments and church attendance for salvation. If I only participate in the scriptural parts to the Mass then I am not sinning.
