   P.S.A.
   
   Correct theology isn't required to know Jesus. And, knowing Jesus is Eternal Life. And, anyone who knows Jesus will never be lost.
   
   I know this can be scary, because false teachers have taught many of us since the time we were little children. To, rely upon certain things as proof of our Salvation. And, without these "proofs" we fill like our very Salvation has been lost.
   
   But, the only true proof lives in Jesus' heart. There is no ritual or saying or communion or baptism that can stand in the place a true relationship with Jesus.
   
   And, I only even bring this up, because it grieves me, to see so many trusting in dead traditions, instead of conversing with the living Jesus.
   
   It always seems relevant, to bring up, that Jesus never corrected anyone's theology, before healing them, or helping them. Or even calling them to come and follow Him.
   
   The paradigm of forcing people to parrot specific theologies, or "their soul may be lost" is as far from Jesus as you can get.
   
   Jesus has no interest in your petty word games, and posturing. And, if you don't know that, you'll soon find out.

     @hazlin yes, even if people disagree on theology and tradition related stuff, there's no reason to fight over it. Especially on the internet out of all places.

     Yeah, everyone gets to choose what they believe. Even God lets them choose, and respects their choices.
     
     Over the last few years, I've had to learn, that you can only teach people who want to learn from you. And, you can only help someone that wants your help.
     
     And, you can only be friends with someone who values your friendship.
     
     I can see clearly now, that there is no point in forcing these things once you know what the other person has decided. No good comes of forcing it, and I guess that is why Jesus doesn't force things either.
