Jesus... I just highlighted everything that I've done on this list.
I'm goin straight to Hell...

Anyway. The Bible says you must be born again. We throw the baby out with the bath water to our own damnation. No, man made standards can't condemn you to Hell as much as they can't save you.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE football, I go to my old high school's games, go to college games, go to pro games, and play it in my liesure time, etc. I have a TV, but don't watch it much and it stays on CNN (yes I do have personal convictions about watching what I watch). I watch movies. I wear shorts.

Just because WE (those who have been born again) have those liberties, does not mean that we neglect the born again process.

There is only one way to see and enter the Kingdom of God. That is to be born again of the water and of the spirit. I still maintain that there is only one way to be saved: repentence, water baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, and the indwelling of the Holy Ghost which will subsequently cause the believer to live a holy and sanctified life pleasing to the Lord God free from the bondage of SIN (not standards).

Just because you can wear pants and make it to heaven doesn't mean you can cheat God of what he requires. You have to deal with the issue of sin before you can make it in.
