Hi Nico, no I'm not a pastor, just a fellow servant of Christ who work in Church who has a heart and passion for God's word and ministry to the lost in this forum.

Yes anyone can believe, follow and be baptised to Christ Jesus.

Of course can. Before I was baptised, I see God responding to my prayers....I believe God accepted me on the basis of my Faith in Jesus Christ.

On theology study, from God's perspective, He accepted me based on his Mercy and Grace...I never really did anything to qualify just..my Faith simple believe in Christ.

Christian by definition means one who follows Christ hence Christ.."tians". To follow Christ would also mean to heed what Christ says about evil things, to understand that it is not right to do such thing because it is destructive and it destroys. God wants us to be in a place where people live in love and harmony hence the act of evil cannot be.

There's no such thing as one who follows Christ and yet does many evil things. Thus it would make no sense to say Christian who believe in Jesus and yet does many evil thing, it's like saying God delights in evil.

So Yes Christians are guaranteed by GOD to heaven, it's not just guaranteed just like that without the one who makes the guarantee involved.

The foundation is the cross, that is the divine justification why we are guaranteed to Heaven because someone qualified has pay a dear price for our entrance.

there's always multiple answers for everything, whether true or not. some christians would tell you only god knows. some others will give you a technical evaluation. some funny people (like above) would simply quote you text from the bible and not answer your question and then someone will quote a contradictory quote from the bible.

you will need to die to find out really and then tell us all.

im sure googling bible contradictions will have plenty of results -- ive not read them. but im sure there SURELY are contradictions.

also, that's your belief, like everybody elses belief.... how is your belief anymore supreme to another persons?

There will always be supporting points for A, and counter-supporting points for B. It's called duality.

You can't completely agree with the bible -- at least not now -- so you need convincing points to eventually fully agree with it? it's all about letting yourself get convinced?

Sometimes when you are in the process, you cannot see yourself being the processed. Humans have this inherent tendency to follow some culture, tradition. With religion, in similarity, it can be used to control people. In fact, although I am against religion, I do conclude that religion is necessary in the world, because of ridiculous people who'd go out of control and harm everything in their path. I mean it's ridiculous enough that people can just fall for blind faith like christianity, so without it, who knows what's possible.

Psalms in the Hebrew means praises or hymns, in the Greek it is called Psalms.

Many of it was written by King David. Among the other authors are Asaph, the sons of Korah, Herman, Ethan, Moses and Solomon.

It is not written letters like the New Testament...they are songs of praise and some song of lamentation, complains of disappointment and anguish. I find that is good because many of us can relate to God in that way.

You can basically sing Psalms to God. It's quite powerful.

I am not very fond of the charismatic movement, but I am not against it either.

I have heard about the real tongue gift and read stories about them, of course, being Catholic I searched the catholic version of tongues.

There are a few examples of saints who spoke in other nation's languages without them knowing, while preaching to them.
There were instances of priests spoke in Bahasa but never had any knowledge of Bahasa, while praying for malaysians in UK and Ireland.

I believed those are real.

However there is also the version where the lead (pastor etc) started shimbala kala shumbi malakala shumbilakala

and everyone besides just started mumbo jumbo the same way.
Any new friends who just joined then started to mumbo jumbo

Was it due to peer pressure?
To feel belonged in the group?
or is it really speaking in tongues?

I never ask. I do not think I am in the position to blasphemy against Holy Spirit.
I am also happy my friends feel closer to God with it than without it.

The gifts are meant for increasing one's faith...be it speak in tongues, prophesy, etc.

I however disagree with some churches pastor who repeatedly ask the congregation to speak in tongues, desire tongues etc rather than increase his or her faith.
would you like me to come to your house for a visit and say "Where is my gift, J?"
wouldnt you respond "IM YOUR GIFT!"

Not really.

Matthew 19:4-6 (NIV) - …Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female’ 5and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”

Wife. Singular.

The things that has happened in the OT are meant for us to take heed as warning, to understand, to learn not meant for us to follow after. We are to follow Christ Jesus as the New Covenant.  This is explained in:

1 Corinthians 10:11 (NIV) - These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come.

Matthew 19:4-6 was an excerpt taken from Genesis 2:24. God never did sanction a marriage of more than one wife. The people back then did it on their own accord.

God has built and design us in such a way that we feel extremely jealous / hurt / betrayed when our partner decides He/She not only loves us but also another person. This is natural in any woman or man. That is also 1 sign of how we know Polygamy was never God's will.

Yes true, people back in the OT had more than 1 wife and you can also see the problem that came with it, the jealousy and the fighting for attention between wives. This causes untold insecurity for the woman, true back then, true even today.

Look at what happened to King Solomon in this verse

Nehemiah 13:26 (NIV) - Was it not because of marriages like these that Solomon king of Israel sinned? Among the many nations there was no king like him. He was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel, but even he was led into sin by foreign women.

This is an indication, More often polygamy opens up problem rather than solving anything.

And to answer your 2nd question. Because they already were married before conversion and thus was ignorant of knowing God's will, and seeing that God also disprove divorce, I don't see why they should divorce as the children will be affected as well. But then this is up to the conviction of the said husband in question. He will need to bear take ownership, responsibility and the consequence of this predicament.

The only thing that I know of, such a Man of this predicament should not be in leadership in a Church. Other than that, I do not know if there is any other violation .

Hey, just checking if you Christian folks have an answer to this ancient puzzle:

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
― Epicurus

Problem is, even suppose if he gives you free will but does nothing when using that "free will" creates evil, then he is still malevolent.

Like I said, when one does nothing when evil happens when he can do something...that is the definition of malevolent. So "free will" is irrelevant.
