I am a born again believer in Jesus Christ. I believe there is only one way to heaven and that is through accepting Jesus Christ as one's Lord and Savior. I believe this comes about by:
1). Admitting we are a sinner (Romans 3:23).
2). Believing that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God who died on the cross for our sins and was raised from the dead three days later (Romans 5:8; 10:9-10).
3). Repenting (turning) from our sins and finding God's forgiveness (I John 1:9).
4). Asking Christ to come into our being and in doing so give us the gift of eternal life (Romans 10:13; 6:23). I believe, according to Eph 2:8-9, that salvation is a free gift of God.
I am a Southern Baptist. I have served as a Southern Baptist pastor and am currently serving as the director of the Tuskegee Lee Baptist Association in Opelika, AL. While I personally believe and preach biblical doctrine as interpreted by Southern Baptist, I do minister in churches, or to church groups, that are not Southern Baptist and do so without getting into doctrinal issues that we would not interpret the same way.
