me:  Sorry Sis, I was in complete agreement with you up to
this point, but I have to differ on this one. You ALREADY believe and
understand ENOUGH to reach others. 

In your post you said:
" I do believe.  I believe in God.  I believe that he robed 
himself in flesh, came to earth as a baby, was crucified for my sins and
was resurrected from the dead.  I believe in the necessity of repentance,
water baptism for the remission of sins and the infilling of the Holy
Ghost.  I believe in angels.  I believe in the gifts of the Spirit.
I believe that the Bible is the divine, inspired word of God".  

me again: Sis, the LOST in this world could really care LESS
about types, shadows and theology. They want and NEED
to hear the plan of salvation. They need US to tell them that Jesus 
can save their souls, change their lives,  heal their broken hearts and 
bodies, wash away their sins....I could go on and on.

I am a banker, NOT a theologian by any stretch of the imagination.
I have "won" at least 3 souls to the Lord through home bible study
and have witnessed to countless others whom I pray will come to see 
this precious truth some day. 

I ,too, enjoy reading Bro. Bernard's books and probably own, or have
read, all that he has written. I do NOT find myself frustrated when
others on this list discuss theological issues. I sit in awe,
amazed at the depth of knowledge possessed by so MANY on this
list. I have learned so much from our resident scholars. 

Knowledge is a WONDERFUL thing Sis, if used for good, but  
you are in error if you think you must FULLY understand everything
that you believe, or feel in your heart to be true, BEFORE you can reach 
others with this precious truth.
