Me:
Let's see.  I am part of the church, right?  I sit and I think upon what
foundation *I* was built upon.  Was it the written word?  Nope.  I had been
looking for and finding contradictions in the KJV (God's Word has none but
the KJV is FULL of them ;-).  Was it the preaching I had heard?  Nope.  I
had heard a bunch of trinitarians SLAUGHTER the Word.  Was it the demon
possessed girl I had met and foolishly tried to cast the demons from? 
Nope.  That just showed me that the occult world really existed.  What was
it then?  It was that still small voice that kept whispering to me over the
years and coaxing my along, encouraging me that everything was going to be
alright.  Nurturing certain points and uprooting others.  That NAGGING
feeling that there had to be a better way.  Then, on that night almost four
years ago, I sat in a chair with my head thrown back in front of two men I
didn't know from Adam with my arms thrown to the east and the west and I
started to studder and stammer and OH! OH! OH! the FLOOD of Love that
washed over me <THANK YOU JESUS!>

Listen up now class: THAT was the Rock upon which *I* was built!!!  I was
set upon the firm foundation of what the Spirit had revealed to me in this
flesh!  I ***KNEW*** Who God was/is and what He wanted from me!  I
***KNEW*** He was One!  I ***KNEW*** He loves me and wants me to be with
Him forever!  

Every other aspect in my Christian walk is built upon this continuing
revelation.  If you build upon ANY OTHER foundation, you are lost!  This IS
the Word!  This IS the plan which IS God!  He was/is revealing Himself to
those whom He has chosen!  Jesus had the Spirit without measure which made
Him the Big Rock/Petra and Peter was the 'little' Rock that CAME FORTH from
the Big One.  God/the Spirit reavealing things in Christ Jesus in a Big
Fashion and in Peter in a smaller fashion.  

The keys to Heaven (NOT death and the grave BTW :-) are to follow ALL parts
of the plan of salvation.  Repentance, baptism in the name of Jesus Christ
and the indwelling of the Holy Ghost are NOT enough to get you to Heaven! 
Repentance is A key, Baptism in Jesus' name is A key and the indwelling of
the Holy Ghost is A key but those three in and of themselves will NOT get
you into Heaven!  We must maintain Holiness through repentance of our sins
AFTER baptism.  We must consume the flesh of Christ and drink His blood in
the TOKENS of the bread and the wine.  We must continue in good works else
our faith is dead.  We must bond together since how can we say we love God
whom we cannot see when we do not love our brothers who are in His image
that we do see?  We must forgive others as we have been forgiven
(conditional upon repentance).  The list goes on...

When you get to Heaven, you'll need them ALL!
