About Bible-Runner Online
Bible Runner Online (BRO) has been a dream of mine for a very long time in some shape and form. The biggest thing holding me back from creating it was the fact that I knew nothing about coding or building a website. The other major factor was that I wanted to be certain of my beliefs and my walk with the Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ before I reached out to the world via the internet.
Now BRO is here. The blog is designed to share the Word of God as I’ve been led by the Holy Spirit, and share things I’ve learned through my life while on the narrow path of the Christian walk. I hope that as I bring things to you that the Holy Spirit wants me to share that you’ll find yourself drawn into a intrest in having a personal walk with Jesus Christ.
As a Christian we are called out to be Ambassadors of Jesus Christ, to proclaim His soon coming and the kingdom of God.
“Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, to be reconciled to God. For He made Him to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
2 Cor. 5 Verses 18-21
I am one of multitudes of Ambassadors of Jesus Christ, I have placed my life wholly in His hands. He covered my sin and he can cover yours.
It is my greatest hope that you’ll find peace through trusting Christ, living in His Grace, and letting Him become the pilot of your life.
In Christ,
Ross
Dear Ross,
You gave me a green/blue postcard last Tuesday night referencing your website. I have just taken a moment to scan thru it. May God richly bless this ministry.

I like the empty shell story. It’s a good anology. One neds to be sure they are not sold a bill of goods which leaves one “empty” in the ned

Good Day Ross,
I have been reading more of the Bible for better understanding. In visiting a Church of Christ, I learned that you are not SAVED until you are baptized. And scriptures were provided to me referring to water baptism. So although you confess and ask God for for forgiveness, the church believe you are not SAVED until you are baptized.
Your thoughts on this subject.
Thanks for the question Cheryl.
“If you confess with you mouth that Jesus is the Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved.”
This is all that is needed to be saved.
The thief on the cross was not baptized yet Christ himself said that “Today, you will be with me in paradise.”
But wait you say that was before he could believe in his heart that God had raised Jesus from the dead, and of course that’s accurate yet here’s how salvation works.
The moment you believe into Christ, by grace through faith, you are saved (all the saints from the Old testament were also saved by grace through faith). God the Father sends God the Holy Spirit to seal and indwell you and right that moment you are transferred “…from the domain of darkness to the Kingdom of the Son He loves.” Now I firmly believe that one should be baptized but I do not believe that baptism is salvific (saving unto salvation)- baptism is an outward sign of a firm choice and decision that has already been made.
It is a declaration to not only family and friends but the principalities and powers that you have chosen Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
So is baptism important? Yes. Is it needed for salvation? No.
In Christ,
Ross
