I have been reading and studying John Wesley. What I am
struggling with his getting a clear understanding of his
philosophy "Grace before Faith".

Does that mean we are saved before we ever believe?

That is what I am struggling with. In the totality of a cursor
reading, it does not seem to be what is meant, but when broken
down into his three main points, that is one of his main points
of difference from him, Calvin and Luther.

If all of us are honest as theologians, we must admit we are in
the midst of a paradigm shift in the perception, acceptance, and
view of the bible, the church, and the Christian religion. As
more of the 20 and 30-year-olds move into leadership positions
in religion, they bring a different view that is driving this
shift.
I know many I speak with and when in seminary, spoke with, in
that age bracket felt that Christian, as it has been present, is
no longer in sync with their faith and belief. Yet in
conversation it was obvious we are speaking about the same
things and we have the same beliefs. It was apparent to me at
least that it was in the execution and the understanding. This
shift is forcing all Christian denominations from Catholics to
evangelicals to review what they are doing and how they are
doing it.
So is religion as we know it facing extinction in its present
form, or as my son put it, committing suicide because of its
rigid adherence to 500-year-old dogma? I think we are. We can
present a more current message without sacrificing faith and
belief as we believe Jesus was teaching us. To many of us
have strayed from the root messages and teach to further a
denominations agenda or a personal agenda that has little to do
with faith and belief. THIS HAS TO CHANGE. If it does not we
will be on the trash heap of history.

If I said I am a Christian, I am not saying I am a clean living
person, I am whispering that I am not, that I was lost, but have
been found and forgiven. If I tell you I am a Christian I am not
speaking it with pride, I am whispering it, as I know I have to
stumble and need Christ in my life as my guide. I am not
trying to be strong if I say I am a Christian, no I am admitting
I am weak and need His strength to carry on. If I told you I am
a Christian I am not bragging, no I am stating I have failed,
and I have failed many times, and need God to help me clean up
my messes. If I tell you I am a Christian I am not claiming I
perfect, My flaws are far too many and way too visible for that
claim, by God believes I am worth his grace. When I say I do
say I am a Christian I am not saying it as holier than thou, no
I am just a simple everyday sinner who received God’s grace,
somehow, and want to share.

Mark, it may seem that I am dumping on you in my last two post.
I assure you I am not but rather trying to present a different
opinion and why I have that opinion.
You are doing a great job on this forum and I hope you are here
for a long while.
