Thanks, for being the catalyst for this thread idea. I'll go first.
I believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob imaged in His Son Jesus Christ.
Male and female are both made in God's image but the woman was made for the man to be his companion and helper in the calling God gave him. Because of this, I believe most women today are called to be marriage companions and helpmeets in man's divine calling to be fruitful, multiply, and subdue the earth.
I am not against women making money, but believe careers force married women to have conflicting interests with the calling God gave them.
Because Adam was created first and because Eve was deceived in the garden, I believe men are to be the gatekeepers of doctrine and women are not to usurp authority as teachers over them. We are to follow Titus 2:3-5 and mentor other women on how to love their families, do good, and keep the home.
I believe many are called to be Christians and that Jesus' sacrifice saved every last person on earth in some way. However, there is a weeding out process that will get rid of anyone who sinned or practiced lawlessness even though they made it to the Kingdom. The road is narrow because it's a call to suffer in this current life to share in the glory of Christ in the New Heavens and the New Earth.
God's commands are not grievous and every Christian's goal should be to become a slave of righteousness, stop sinning, and express actual love through good works of service and charity. We feed the hungry and help those we come across as God enables us. We love one another. That's how we know we have the love of God in us.
We stop sinning by abiding or continuing to hear the Word out loud in our ears until it transforms our thinking and sets us free.
I don't believe the faith is just a set of intellectual beliefs. Too much intellectual wrangling can be detrimental. The end of faith is charity and keeping a good conscience, as it says in 1 Timothy.
We do good works of faith. We should be affirming this constantly, Scripture says. Works of faith shouldn't be confused with works under the 613 laws of Moses or works of the flesh like fornication.
I feel that many Protestant churches are just allergic to works today and fixate on hyper-grace theology traditions. I wanted truth and challenge and churches just coddled me and babysat me for the most part. I became a believer at 14 and searched high and low for a church in different denominations. None get it right but if I were anything, I'd be Pentecostal.
