H...Your concepts are somewhat mixed-up and inexact. Harold Camping preaches a bizarre version of the Christian Gospel by which, to the question, "How can I be saved?", the answer goes: "I don't know!" (I have heard this, verbatim, from him over the radio). The best the Campingites can advise is "Hope that God will save you!" Camping is so hyper-Calvinistic that, to him, there is no way of having any assurance in the least concerning that which God in his sovereign will has preordained. This is why your opening, about the "born again Christians", is rather off the mark. Agree with it or not, the term "born-again Christian" relates to a particular body of teaching that is fundamentally at odds with Camping's entire premise.KenTextshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04025929807420828868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28637516.post-59940762192290329102011-04-07T14:26:33.398-04:002011-04-07T14:26:33.398-04:00Hey Kendra,

Not that the promise is not there, but that it should somehow just be happening without the co-laboring to make it happen. In this issue of personal responsibility the Wiccans somewhat are correct.<br /><br />As far as this gang: some will be discouraged and hide away, some will reset the date, and some could possibly give up their faith I suppose. Welcome to the wild world of false prophecies, and their ramifications in people's lives.Pastor Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07344719487413688550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28637516.post-31078631731633909752011-04-07T08:37:55.523-04:002011-04-07T08:37:55.523-04:00Just curious...What happens to these people on May...Just curious...What happens to these people on May 22nd when their prediction proves to be false? Do they lose faith or just pick another day for the rapture?(By the way, the last four digits of my cell are 1666. I always tell people I am one devil.) I can't help but think that things were much easier when I was Wiccan. It's hard to follow a faith that is supposed to be so meaningful in making you a better person, when you see its followers are more evil than in many other faiths. Jesus has done so much for my life, but Christians are destroying it. It's sad! These days I prefer to worship alone. No rapture worries either!Kendrahttp://www.KendraVaughanHovey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28637516.post-76540028397829717222011-04-06T19:30:20.755-04:002011-04-06T19:30:20.755-04:00Now that last post was funny, Phil.

Now, you would think that, with 666 on my forehead, that would make me a hopeless case, but I suspect that the Christian tendency toward believing for the impossible would make me the ministry target du jour for the rest of my "jour"s--or at least until May 21st.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17683556284890305433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28637516.post-87151582299968768922011-04-06T18:34:56.453-04:002011-04-06T18:34:56.453-04:00Hey A-Typical,
