Acts 13:48 says of those who heard the word of God from Jesus' disciples and were rightly disposed for everlasting life became believers.


How can you tell if you truly are rightly disposed? By the way you respond to the good news. Christians do not expect insincere people, haughty individuals, or those with no spiritual inclination to respond favorably to the good news. Therefore, we look for those individuals who are honest, humble, and hungry for the truth.


We are here to help all honesthearted people to become disciples of Christ.

And do you believe that you are a sincere person and not a haughty individual, but one who is honest, humble and hungry for the truth, and believe that you have some spiritual capability, that will enable you to help all honest hearted people to become disciples of Christ.

Well that depends on whether you have the truth, and not some erroneous belief that will lead the honest hearted people away from the truth that leads to salvation, for many are those self confessed saviors of man, who do not know what they are talking about, and I am sure that you have come across some of them.

It just goes down to this:
"4102 pístis (from 3982/peithô, "persuade, be persuaded") – properly, persuasion (be persuaded, come to trust); faith." Strong's
Also, text says "theou"

I am rightly disposed after my morning coffee and communing with the toilet.

Still there are many wicked people who would like to know God and know the truth, as these people need prayer to Ask God to forgive their sins temporary to then hear the gospel, as they call this cultivation for good ground...... See these wicked people would have demons who criticize everything people say need to be kicked out of these people, as this is how it is for evangelist Spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit to cleanse people who would hear

I, who am pushing the guts out of 80, am also rightly disposed after my morning bowel movement at 7 Am, what a pity that I don't wake up until 8 AM?

Just following your lead, in your attempt to lighten things up a little, TD.

Good news is that God's not angry with anyone, never was, never will be. Not going to send anyone to hell, not going to annihilate anyone, not going to punish anyone. There is no need to be afraid of God, so don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

The fact is, Pleroo, the love of the Lord never ceases, it is new every morning and is bathed in steadfast.

And which god are you referring too? Certainly not the God as referred to in the Holy Scriptures.
