I am personally willing to assume this as a standard. So if one han't said a little sinners prayer and doesn't say formallyk "I trust Jesus for salvtion" we can still infur that he/she does do this if he/she accepts the creeds because that is implicit in the creeds.<BR/><BR/>I have no evidence that Hitler accepted the creeds. Several sources show that in privaet discussions Hitler voices much hatred fof Christianity.he was a pagan, he believed in Germanic cult, he was not a chritian.Joseph Hinman (Metacrock)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957529748541493998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11516215.post-1140016731902958472006-02-15T07:18:00.000-08:002006-02-15T07:18:00.000-08:00I do not believe that people are saved by holding ...I do not believe that people are saved by holding right doctrine. That would be savation by works. We are saved by one simple thing, that we trust Jesus or more precisely, we trust to the sufficiency of his atonement for us. But the Virginal conception is a true orhtodox doctirne and its' a mitake to reject it.Joseph Hinman (Metacrock)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957529748541493998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11516215.post-1139884113018698382006-02-13T18:28:00.000-08:002006-02-13T18:28:00.000-08:00I didn't say no true christian is anti-semetic. th...I didn't say no true christian is anti-semetic. that's a hypothetical examlpe. True Christian teachign does not permitt anti-semitism (hatred of Jews) but christains can fail and some chritsians are not as mature as others.<BR/><BR/>But the point of guilt by association is to say that christainity is bad and the proof is some chritsians are bad, the imiplication being that the teachigns of the faith taguth them to be that way. I say they would be that way anyway, the teachings of the faith have not penetrated their brains yet.Joseph Hinman (Metacrock)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957529748541493998noreply@blogger.com
