    Thank you for your generosity, ladies! I'm praying for you both...though a Christian for many years, I need to hear this good great news again and again, to constantly keep His amazing work on the cross front/center in my mind and heart.

    I asked my friend in sda whether he was certain of his salvation,whether he received Christ in his heart,only to find out the confusion and dilemma. He said,there's no onetime salvation,he was in the process of being save,because he had the faith of Christ and he kept his commandments.This is absurd ,having the faith of Christ doesn't mean one has placed his or her faith in Christ and the work of the cross for salvation of his or her soul

      You do understand that salvation is conditional correct? If you continue to sin and not ask for forgiveness and turn away from your sin then grace is not imparted to you. This is why your friend said to you what he said. Santification is the work of a life time, through it by repentance and turning away from sin you have eternal life through Christ and his grace. Grace doesn't allow a Christian to keep sinning, grace is only given where sin abounds as Paul states. We SDAs believe we have eternal life through Christ but you don't conquer sin over night and you are continually sinning throughout your life, this is why repentance for sin and turning from those sins point to grace being given to you if you have a contrite heart and turn after repentance. Grace is not a one time thing, it is given only when we sin repent and move forward in our day to day walk with Christ having faith in him to gain the victory over sin. So your friend is correct.

      @@FabricationIsalie you would have done favour for yourself,if you would turn the page over from ''we sdas we have eternal life through Christ' to what the gospel reveals,that eternal life is given to whomsoever puts his faith in Christ alone and the finished work of the cross.Grace is not given when we repent and turn from our sin,understand free grace is what saves us from our sins and keeps us from sin,and will present us blameless before God.Grace is not a reward we receive after we've repented but God's goodness leads us to repentance unto eternal life

      @ericmakau7519 Why do we need grace? Paul says where sin abounds grace abounds more. Why? When you receive grace by justification at the cross it is for all your sins, however, every time you sin it revoked that grace. It is why we must repent when we sin, it's not a reward, it's a renewing of grace being restored by faith that Christ will forgive us and lead is into all righteousness and obedience.
      Grace also brings obedience to God's laws, precepts, and statutes. Grace saves you from the penalty of breaking these through Christ, but it doesn't give you the right to continue in sin.

      @@FabricationIsalie Grace means ,unmerited favour.This is what God did for me in Christ,when I was yet a sinner,enemy of God Christ's death reconciled us,His resurrection justified us,we cannot out-sin this Grace,we cannot 'revoke' it whatever this new doctrine means.We didn't do any thing good to earn or bad to 'revoke'.Our sins,he has buried under the sea,in this wonderful new covenant there is no remembrance of sins,one sacrifice has settled sin once and for all

    Colleen and Nikki, I have listened to several of your videos and podcasts, and I appreciate your insights. I am listening to you because I have relatives who are SDA, and I hope the day will come when I can lead them to a better understanding of the Gospel.
    I would like to offer one correction. In the Catholic Church, under normal circumstances, we are not required to go to confession before communion. In the normal course of the Christian life, we can receive communion weekly or even daily without going to confession.
    However, we are instructed to go to confession before returning to communion if we have committed a mortal sin. For a sin to be mortal, it has to be a grave matter (like stealing or adultery), we have to know that it is wrong, and we have to freely and willfully choose to do it even though we know that it is wrong. All three conditions have to be met for a sin to be mortal. And confession is actually very easy in that we are not in any way earning forgiveness. (What makes it hard is our own pride and shame.)
    We also believe, like some Protestants, that we receive forgiveness when we receive communion. But for mortal sins, if committed, we should go to confession first.
    In my opinion, the Catholic Church is not as strict as some Presbyterians have been.
    [I left a similar comment on another one of your videos. To the person who tried to debate me about this, please take it somewhere else this time. I only wish to clarify misinformation, and I would do the same if Protestant Christianity was misrepresented on a Catholic channel. I only ask that you be fair.]

      @jimmu2008, thank you for sharing your experience in the RCC. When I was Catholic, though, my experience was different...we were taught that confession before communion was mandatory, just in case. I actually had folks tell me that they knew someone who either died or became gravely ill after taking communion without going to confession first. Guess your mileage may vary.
      I'm a Reformed Baptist who doesn't believe that the Lord's Supper (an ordinance of my church) provides for any forgiveness for any sin, in any manner. I believe today what both the NT and OT teaches: that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ and not by action or activity done by me (Eph 2:8-10), so that I can't boast in any other source for my salvation and forgiveness than the cross of Christ. No sacrament can save me, only faith in Christ's propitiatory sacrifice on the cross. To Him be the glory!

      @@catholic4sure976 Catholic clergy hurt me very badly when I was a boy, but I don't h8 any of them today as individuals, nor do I h8 Catholics because they're Catholic. I have every reason to h8 those who hurt me, but He who shed blood for both me and my perps is healing me and (I pray) them as well.

      @@catholic4sure976 As a historian, your own biased opinion shows in your devote belief that the Catholic Churches version of history and the Bible is accurate. I can assure you that's not the case according to all the outside sources of history that are separate from the Catholic Church. Your statements above are also completely Catholic teaching from their version of the Bible, and the catechism. Here are some statements about the Sabbath from the Catholic Church herself, pay attention to the last one in particular.
      “It is well to remind the Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, and all other Christians, that the Bible does not support them anywhere in their observance of Sunday. Sunday is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church, and those who observe the day observe a commandment of the Catholic Church.” Priest Brady, in an address, reported in the Elizabeth, NJ ‘News’ on March 18, 1903.
      “Protestants … accept Sunday rather than Saturday as the day for public worship after the Catholic Church made the change… But the Protestant mind does not seem to realize that … in observing Sunday, they are accepting the authority of the spokesman for the Church, the pope.” Our Sunday Visitor, February 5th, 1950.
      ”The [Roman Catholic] Church changed the observance of the Sabbath to Sunday by right of the divine, infallible authority given to her by her founder, Jesus Christ. The Protestant claiming the Bible to be the only guide of faith, has no warrant for observing Sunday. In this matter the Seventh-day Adventist is the only consistent Protestant.” The Catholic Universe Bulletin, August 14, 1942, p. 4.
      “All of us believe many things in regard to religion that we do not find in the Bible. For example, nowhere in the Bible do we find that Christ or the Apostles ordered that the Sabbath be changed from Saturday to Sunday. We have the commandment of God given to Moses to keep holy the Sabbath Day, that is the 7th day of the week, Saturday. Today most Christians keep Sunday because it has been revealed to us by the Church outside the Bible.” The Catholic Virginian, “To Tell You The Truth,” Vol. 22, No. 49 (Oct. 3, 1947).
      “… you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify.” The Faith of Our Fathers, by James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, 88th edition, page 89. Originally published in 1876, republished and Copyright 1980 by TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., pages 72-73.
      ‘Deny the authority of the Church and you have no adequate or reasonable explanation or justification for the substitution of Sunday for Saturday in the Third - Protestant Fourth - Commandment of God… The Church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact.” Catholic Record, September 1, 1923.
      The Faith of Milions“But since Saturday, not Sunday, is specified in the Bible, isn’t it curious that non-Catholics who profess to take their religion directly from the Bible and not the Church, observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Yes, of course, it is inconsistent; but this change was made about fifteen centuries before Protestantism was born, and by that time the custom was universally observed. They have continued the custom, even though it rests upon the authority of the Catholic Church and not upon an explicit text in the Bible. That observance remains as a reminder of the Mother Church from which the non-Catholic sects broke away - like a boy running away from home but still carrying in his pocket a picture of his mother or a lock of her hair.”The Faith of Millions
      “Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the Church ever did, happened in the first century. The holy day, the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday. “The Day of the Lord” (dies Dominica) was chosen, not from any directions noted in the Scriptures, but from the Church’s sense of its own power. The day of resurrection, the day of Pentecost, fifty days later, came on the first day of the week. So this would be the new Sabbath. People who think that the Scriptures should be the sole authority, should logically become 7th Day Adventists, and keep Saturday holy.” Sentinel, Pastor’s page, Saint Catherine Catholic Church, Algonac, Michigan, May 21, 1995
