Survey of Belief
Hello, this is a page for a survey I've started called Survey of Belief. If you would like to answer it please email me, or if you would be interested in any other survey's I start. Thank you! mailto:missionary2005@juno.com
1.)Do you believe in God? If so, please tell me who He is to you.
Yes. He is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient three-in-one Creator of the universe that loves me and gave Himself for me in the person of Jesus Christ~~~TPS age 18-------
Yes.He's everything to me! :)~~~ DNR age 14-------Yes. I believe He is my heavenly Father the One I go to in thanks and in need and in everything!~~~KLF age 17-------Yes I do believe in God, He is the Lord of my life, the author of my existence, without Him I am nothing! He's my everything!~~~Abigail-------Yes, atriune, loving surpreme being-------If it God, I think not.~~~Yogi age 50
2)Do you believe in angels or demons? If not, please state why.
Yes, I believe in both. Angels are created are created being by God to go forth and minister His word.~~~HolyFire2-------Heck yes!~~~DNR-------Yes I believe in both. The Bible clearly states they are there.~~~Kalos-------Of course I believe in angels and demons. They are constantly warring over our souls until the day of redemption.There are many accounts in the Bible of Jesus casting out demons and angels appearing before people~~~DJS
3.)Do you believe a person can be *saved*?If so, please explain why and how, if not, why.
Well of course I believe ppl can be
saved. Gods word says it so that settles it for me. Salvation comes by
believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth the Lord Jesus..
Salvation is just the beginning of our walk with God.~~~Holyfire2-------Yes, I believe a person can be saved. Why do people need to be saved?
Because all men are concieved totally depraved in sin and unable to seek
God. Why do I believe this? Because the Bible says it in Romans 3. How are
people saved? Ultimately, the elect were saved on the cross, when their
sins were imputed to Christ and His righteousness was imputed to them.
Practically, people are saved when God by His soveriegn grace draws men unto
himself and gives them salvation through faith in Him. Salvation is by grace
through faith and is totally of God, and has nothing to do with man's works
or will.~~~TPS age 18-------Yeah, "for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God..."~~~DNR-------
Yes ! I am living proof! A person must realize he/she is a sinner and is bound for hell before they can even think they are in a position that needs saving. then they must except the fact that Jesus came down and died on the cross and was buried and rose again the third day according to the scriptures, and that He did all this For Him/Her specifically. And that it is needed to save a person from hell. Then they must lay all they have to the Lord including their trust.THEY MUST BELIEVE!~~~KLF age 17-------Yes, a person can be saved because we are lost
because of our sinfull mind and soul, our debpt for
our sins is death but God can save us if we accept His
love and Jesus His son as our only Saviour.~~~Beni8- age 20------- The only reason Jesus came to earth, was not to relieve the physical, but to save the soul. It is a gift from God to us and we are only saved after we have accepted his free gift of salvation, for it is not by works, but by faith.~~~DJS-------Yes, people can be saved. Being saved does not keep them from
sinning, but it gives them a more direct line to God who forgives and
continues to forgive each time we do something that goes against His
nature. To be saved, one simply admits that he/she is powerless to
save themself, they believe there is a God who can save them and then
they commit their life to God.~~~Sherry
4.)Do you believe any section of the Bible is true?
I believe that ALL the Bible is true.~~~HeavenBound-------I believe that cover to cover, page to page - every word in the Bible is
complete truth.~~~NotHopeless------- I believe every
section, every word, every comma, every period, every question, every
single thing in the Holy Bible is true and is the inerrant word of
almighty God.~~~HolyFire2-------All of it!~~~DNR age 14------- All of the Bible is true! 2 Tim. 3:16 All scripture is God
breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking and
training in righteousness.~~~Kalos-------The Word of God is the truth. There are no errors whatsoever in the written Word.~~~DJS
5.)Do you believe a person can speak in toungues?
No, I don't believe a person can speak in tounges. God gave that art to the early church christians, not to us not.~~~Heavenbound-------Oh yes I do and I believe it is a gift for EVERY believer. Mark
16:17,18 is in red letters therefore spoken by Jesus and if Jesus said
it then that settles it for me. Also, all throughtout the book of Acts,
tongues was the one sure manifestation for everyone that recieved the
baptism of the holy ghost.~~~HolyFire2-------Yes, actually, through the infilling of the Holy Spirit. LoL, I do.~~~DRN-------Yes, but only for a personal worship that came from
heart and not in public and it's a gift not all people
have it.~~~Beni80
6.)Do you believe in Jesus? If so, who do you believe He is and why, please explain to me who He is to you.
Yes, I believe in Jesus. He is God's only begotten Son. He is my friend.~~~HeavenBound-------I
have my beliefs of course, if it God I think not, was there Jesus, maybe, but
just a plain man like anyone else.~~~Yogi-------Absolutely... Jesus is the Son of God as well as being God. Fully God and
fully man. He is my Savior and my Lord.~~~NotHopeless-------
7.)Do you believe in the Holy Spirit? Please explain.
Absolutely... The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Triune God... Fully
God. Not just a "spirit" or "personality" of God, but fully a person of the
Triune God...~~~NotHopeless-------Yes cause the
Holy Spirit is part of the trinity and has his own ministry office and
is in total accord with God the father and God the son. Jesus himself
said that he would go to heaven and leave us not alone but would send
the Holy ghost.~~~HolyFire------- Yes, Holy Spirit is the third part of God, He is a
person and when you recive God as your saviour you
recive Holy Spirit in your life.~~~RB-------yes, the Holy Spirit is the moving, breath of God.~~~khawk
8.)Do you believe women should wear head coverings? Is so, please explain the tradidtion, if not, why.
I don't believe that it's necesary for women to wear "hats" per se... The
Bible says in 1 Corinthians 11:15 - But if a woman have long hair, it is a
glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. I believe that her
hair is her "covering, but I also believe that her husband is also her
"covering". (ie. 1 Cor. 11:10 - for this cause ought the woman to have power
on her head because of the angels. "Power" being the evidence of being under
the direction of another)..~~~NotHopeless-------I believe a womans head
covering is her husband if she is married and her parents if she is
unmarried. Head coverings in the word were parallel with spiritual
coverings.~~~HolyFire-------I believe that the passage in the New Testament related to head coverings
can be applied to today principly, but not necessarily practically. The
principles behind wearing a head covering can be applied to today, but I
don't think that the command to wear a head covering is binding on women
today. (I don't believe any laws are binding on Christians, because we live
in freedom under grace apart from the law).~~~TPS------- Yes, a married women should wear head coverings when
she pray in her church because the Bible say so.~~~RB
9.)Do you believe dating a good way to a heathly marriage?
I truely do not believe in dating. If we look at
the world for one, dating has caused many to compromise and sin. In the
Bible, a father usually found a mate for his daughter or had someone go
on his behalf. I believe the best way to have a mate is to focus on god
and let him put two ppl together and for the holy ghost to bear witness
in us that this is gods choice for us in life. ~~~HolyFire-------I believe that dating is one way that leads to marriage on some occasions,
but that it is certainly not the best or most Biblical method of choosing a
mate. Dating is wrong because it prepares a person for divorce, encourages
defrauding, and makes love a feeling rather than a choice. I also reject
courtship because the choice to court a certain individual is usually based
upon emotion or feeling, just as in dating, although it does have some
benifits (parental supervision, waiting until ready for marriage). I
personally advocate betrothal because in betrothal the choice to marry a
person is based upon an act of the will and mind rather than the feelings
and emotions. It also is a more deep commitment that ensures that defrauding
does not occur.~~~TPS-------I believe dating is NOT the way that leads to marrage, but in fact, that it leads to divorce. Because it gets you used to "going out" and breaking up everytime something gets hard.~~~DNR------- No, I do not believe that teenagers being alone for extended periods
of time is a way to get to a healthy
marriage. I do believe it might lead one to pregnancy though. I
think that courting under the direction of the
parents of the couple is a better way to have a successful courtship
and marriage.
~~~Kalos-------I believe that dating is the practice of divorce. The marriage should work with the parents of both individuals present and fully active. In a dating relationship, it is hard to keep a pure mind.~~~DJS-------I don't think dating as a one on one thing is really
right because it can lead to compromising situations
which are not neccessary. I think group "dating" with
several people of either family or freinds. And I
believe that a christian should not date a
non-christian. ~~~Abigail-------Dating gives a couple the opportunity to get to know one another but
> I don't believe dating alone is the only way to get to know one
> another. I would like to see couples go back to "courting." The
> couple spend time with the girl's family, getting to know one another
> and they also spend time with the guy's family. They see the
closeness or lack of closeness and make comparisons to how each other
was raised. I think dating could lead to marriage but I don't think
that is the only way a couple will decide if they are right for each
other. They have to be open to many different avenues in learning
their compatibility. Living together is not an avenue they should
seek in determining that compatibility.~~~Sherry-------yes, there are problems with any form of finding a
mate, and dating is a common way in America today.~~~khawk
10.)Do you believe you are a sinner?
YES, but a SAVED sinner. :-)~~~Heavenbound-------Absolutely.. the Bible says that ALL have sinned and fall short of the Glory
of God. I am a sinner saved by Grace.~~~NotHopeless-------I believe I was a sinner but have
been saved by grace. I still do sin but I am now in right standing with
God through Jesus.~~~HolyFire-------Yes, absolutely. But I believe that my inner man is totally righteous
because it is covered by the blood of Christ.~~~TPS-------Yep--reminded of that everyday.~~~DRN-------Yes, aren't we all????~~~Kalos------- Definitally! If I didn't think that I was a sinner, I sure would be lost and in dire need of help! I am in no way perfect and was born like that. That is why, the sooner you are saved, the more you will be like Christ if you follow Him throughout the rest of your days.~~~DJS-------I believe that everyone is a sinner, and that if they
ask God he wil forgive them of their sins.
Forgiveness is an ongoing thing, you can't ask once
and have it all taken care of for life. You must
continually ask forgiveness everyday.~~~Abigail-------I know I am a sinner. There isn't a day goes by that I don't do
> something wrong. There are sins of omission as well as commission. I
> might not have really done something wrong, but I sin when there is
> something I should said, or done, and didn't do it.~~~Sherry
11.)Do you believe the world/people/you need a savior?
Absolutely...~~~NotHopeless-------Yes, we all need a savior, because all men are concieved totally depraved in
sin and unable to seek God and therefore alienated from God and destined for
hell.Yes, we all need a savior, because all men are concieved totally depraved in
sin and unable to seek God and therefore alienated from God and destined for
hell.~~~TPS-------Heck yes!~~~DNR-------Yes everyone needs a savior. Not to say everyone will be saved~~~KLF-------Yes!!!!!! to all of the above!!! ~~~Abigail-------Yes, we need a savior. We are incapable of saving ourselves.
> Because I am imperfect, there is no way I could come of with a perfect
> way to save myself.~~~Sherry
12.)If you attend church, what denomination?
Here the replies I got. Independent Baptist, Free Will Baptist Church, Non-denominational, Methodist, Reformed Baptist, Messianic Judaism, reform Christian Denomination, Assembly of God Church,and First Baptist Church.
I was very glad to bet as many answers as I did. I am a little dissappointed that I didn't get many who don't believe in God. If you have any opinion in these things/topics, let me know! God bless you!
