Not that you'll see or accept your error above, this is for others who have the will to be taught and shown error.

"Called" does not mean "(Saved)" as you make it to mean, forcing your error onto his Word. Nor does "chosen" mean "(Remain Saved, remain in the Book of Life)" as you erroneously make it out to be.

Again, not that you'll learn, or accept the shame of failing to heed 2 Timothy 2:15, it is meant for others to see and avoid your error and distorting the Word of God.
Don't you know your addressing a self proclaimed prophet and that Jesus will call him by his CC name to reference his teaching to use in the day of judgment <---his words not mine....

No, it's BE what you claim to be so you will be saved when Christ comes back, not destroyed in case you're not.

When Sally shows by her life that she is saved then we will know she is ready to face Christ when he returns. Until then we don't know.


We can know if a person is Saved. For it is written:

Act_16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Mar_16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.


Act_2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Rom_10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Rom_10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.


So we can know if we are Saved. Now Once we are Saved we should endure to the end to remain Saved.

Mat_24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.


Mar_13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

2Ti_4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

Mat_10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.


Heb_3:6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if (CONDITIONAL) we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Heb_3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if
(CONDITIONAL) we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

Rev_2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:


This generation would do well to study the Scriptures and find out what it means if a person does NOT endure to the End. Does NOT overcome. Does NOT keep His WORKS unto the end. Before it is to late for them. There will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth.


"My Father is glorified by this, that you
bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples."-John 15:8

So until she starts glorifying God through fruit bearing proving she's a disciple of Christ's she'll continue to have threads started about her wondering if she is saved, like we do with Solomon and King Saul. And Tommy will wish he hadn't married her.

Sally is Saved according to Scriptures. Now if she endures to the end to remain Saved, that all depends on her, and what she decides to DO.

Of course she is saved!! What do you want her to do, jump thru hoops, or write a 1000 word essay, asking Jesus into her heart? His word says that "Whosoever shall call upon my name, SHALL BE SAVED". There is no ifs, ands or buts in that statement, Take the Lord at His word. Don't doubt and nitpick. I was saved with a simple, "Lord is there nothing else in this life for me?" The next morning I was a new creature in Christ. That was 32 years ago, the anchor still holds.
i also agree that she is Saved according to what Scriptures plainly teach. Now if she endures to the end and remains Saved that is entirely different story.

Sally is Saved. But can she deny Christ tomorrow? Can she hate someone tomorrow? Can she have unforgiveness towards someone tomorrow? Can she choose to fall away from God tomorrow? Is it possible that she can stop believing that God even exists tomorrow?

i know a woman, she was the most Godliest woman i have ever met. She was always helping people, working in soup kitchens, food drives, clothing drives, volunteering at nursing homes and the such, in the Church whenever anything at all was going on there. Her house was full of Jesus Pictures and Angels. She loved collecting Angel stuff. Any time i would see her on the Streets i would ask "Who are you going to help now?" she would laugh then tell me who she was going to help. i have never in my life seen someone so devoted to God, a True Christian, in my life, nor have i yet to come across a person that was on Fire for Jesus as she was. She was SAVED. She was a devout Christian.
i moved away, but i seen her a few years later. i seen her on the Streets and i asked her "So who are you going to help now?" laughing, she did not laugh, nor even smile at me. i asked her whats wrong? She said something to me that blew my mind, she said "I don't believe in a God any more" After much convincing her to talk about it, to tell me what happened, she agreed and i met her at her house. OH my Goodness. NO Angels, No Christian related pictures. Her place was drab, cold, and dreary looking. It was awful. Anyway. She told me her story. That it was her grandmother who introduced her to Jesus Christ, she was a very Godly woman, and was Holy in her eyes, she never did any wrong in her eyes. Her Grandmother was the most Holiest person that she knew. But she got some kind of disease, a very painful disease. Her Grandmother suffered miserable for a very long time. She prayed without ceasing for her grandmother, even offering up her life in place of hers. God did not answer, and her grandmother continues to suffer every day. When her grandmother died, she was convinced "There is no God" She denied Jesus Christ, She became Atheist. She would not recongnize or serve any God that would allow her Grandmother to go through what she did. Tell me is she still Saved? i know for a Fact that she WAS SAVED, but no longer Saved. She did not endure to the end, She denied Jesus Christ, she chose to fall from the Faith.

Now many people will say that she was not TRULY Saved then, these are liars, and do not know the TRUTH at all. She was SAVED, She WAS a Christian, SHE did believe in Jesus and worshiped Him fervently. She even brought people to the Lord. So you can go ahead and say she wasn't Saved, in order to protect the false doctrine that you hold on to dearly (OSAS) So as to not have to change your belief to line up with Scriptures. She WAS SAVED. Her name WAS written in the Book of Life, and it has been blotted out of the Book of Life. Those who believe the false doctrine OSAS will remain blind to this TRUTH, because to them, it is not possible for a person to be once SAVED to no longer be SAVED, therefore they use the EXCUSE "Well then they were not TRULY SAVED to begin with" Lies from satan!

Sally is Saved according to the Word of God. Now if she will remain that way is up to her. If she endures to the end is up to her. OSAS is a doctrine of the devil.

I am suprised people still fall for this stuff.

He wants you to play God.. I am not God. Is anyone else here God?
Since when is asking a hypothetical question playing God? or asking people to be God?

It was a simple question, is Sally Saved. And According to Scriptures because she believes in Jesus Christ, she is Saved. How is believing what Scriptures teach playing God? lol. Seriously?

Simple hypothetical Question, which you make it into playing God thing. lol.

The question is impossible to answer. It says she SAYS those things, no way to know if her heart actually had faith in those things, ie, only God can answer the question.
That is a good point. But in this hypothetical situation, i have plainly and clearly told you what she believes did i not?
Did i not say she believes in Jesus Christ. Therefore i did not leave any doubts to what this hypothetical Sally believes or did not believe. i plainly said she believes in Jesus Christ is she Saved or not.

Scriptures plainly teach if you believe in Jesus Christ, you ARE SAVED. Therefore in this hypothetical situation of Sally, when i said that She believes in Jesus Christ, then Scriptural she is indeed SAVED. Because that is what Scriptures plainly teaches. Those who believe in Jesus Christ are SAVED. So the Question is NOT impossible to answer, as many has answered correctly saying she is Saved.

Tell me, is Sally SAVED?
I think this is a trick question.

Notice the fact that "Jesus died for her," the "Blood of Jesus" and the "Lamb's" Book of Life are not mentioned.

Hmmmmm...............:confused:
Not a Trick question, only a simple question. in the above hypothetical situation, is Sally Saved or not Saved. Not a trick question only a simple question.

According to Scriptures if a person believes that Jesus is the Son of God, rose from the dead, than that person is SAVED. Therefore according to Scriptures, the Sally in the above hypothetical situation is indeed Saved, because the hypothetical situation plainly and clearly states what Sally believed, she believes in Jesus. Therefore according to scriptures SALLY IS SAVED.

I've only just started reading through this post but from the original post I just knew it would be about "staying saved". IMO you are either saved or not, you cannot be "unsaved". If you become "unsaved" you were never actually saved to begin with.

Your right, Sin is what separates us from God.

The Adam and Eve were told. the penalty of sin is death

Israel was told. the penalty of sin is death

We are told. the penalty of sin is death

The penalty is of sin is not being baptized, It is not resting on the sabbath, it is not church membership. It is not being a good boy or girl IT IS DEATH!

Jesus came to die the death we owe (the cross) and that is the ONLY payment God will accept.


Agree with all that you say above, it is what you say below that is not Scriptural.

Either we trust God, and his sacrifice as a means to pay our debt, or we try to pay the debt our self (by works) thus rejecting the grace of God.

No amount of spin will change that message.
Scriptures plainly and clearly teach that Jesus paid for our sins that are past.

Rom_3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;


It does not say what this generation likes to believe it says, that Jesus righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, present and future.

Scriptures also plainly teaches whose sins are covered by His Blood.

1Jn_1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him (Claim to be Saved), and walk in darkness (knowingly and willingly commit sin), we lie, and do not the truth: But IF (CONDITIONAL) we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

When does His blood cleanse us from all sin? When we are walking in the light and NOT in darkness. When we are not living in sin, which is darkness. Woe to this generation who refuses to believe the Word of God and what it plainly teaches. This generation would rather hold on to false doctrines and change the Word of God to fit into their own beliefs, INSTEAD of changing their belief to line up with Scriptures. Now this generation will use verse 8 to negate or make void verses 6 and 7, see if they don't.

Scriptures plainly teach those who walk in the light are they that are covered by His Blood. But this generation continue to live in sin all the while proclaiming with their mouths they are walking in the light, whited walls they are. On the outside they appear to be Good Christians, but on the inside they watch porn, they have lustful thoughts and dwell upon them, they continue to live in sin, and do not try to even cease from them. Woe to them indeed, they choose to believe lies of satan over what the Word of God plainly teaches. These same will pick and choose which verses they will believe and hold on to, and which ones they will ignore, make void, or interpret away. On the outside they claim they Christian, SAVED, but out of their hearts they obey satan and continue to obey satan and his temptations to continue to live in sin. These same know not that their master is to whom they obey, this is yet another verse they ignore, make void, or interpret away. Lost sheep they are, seeds thrown by the wayside, or on stony places. These same produce no good fruits, and condemn those who teach you should have good fruits. Blind they are, and these will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. And it won't be because God did not try to warn them of their thinking errors, for God has sent His servants to teach them the TRUTH, and they reject it in order to keep their own doctrines. Woe to them indeed.

i have told you the TRUTH, which i testify comes from God. So if it makes you feel better to think that it is Dave that you don't believe, the TRUTH is you don't believe God that told me these things. But its not like God did not try to reach you with His TRUTHS through His servants. He has, and is trying to do so, because He loves you.

1. Clearly she didn't have time to be baptized like the bloke on the cross who acknowledged Jesus.

2. Why don't they intervene in a lot of things?

3. Sally's face was immortalised in stained glass at the church where she was run down by the bus.
Back when I could lean over easily, I did stained-glass. I now have a cartoon mental images of that splatted body, the yellow school bus all on a stained glass window in a church window. lol

Tell me, is Sally SAVED?
All kidding aside, and pretending Sally is a real person, this little case study still doesn't work.


Nobody was pretending that Sally was a real person, this is something that you have deduced. Sally is a hypothetical person, The situation is a hypothetical situation. Never said Sally was a real person that i know.

Do you remember when you were first saved? Did you immediately want to be a Christian? Christian? As far as I knew, I already was a Christian. I was raised in "a good Christian family." (I was raised Catholic, so the assumption of Christian was already built in, as was the assumption of being good.)
Surely you are aware because this is how YOU felt does not mean EVERYONE else felt the same way. If you reread the above hypothetical situation, you will see that Sally was talked into coming to church by her friend, she was an unbeliever. So please try to stay on track with the above hypothetical situation, if everyone adds stuff to the situation it would get real confusing fast. Now, according to the above hypothetical situation, according to the information given, is Sally Saved or not?

Wanting to be a Christian never entered my mind. Matter of fact, lo these many decades later, this is the first time I even thought about wanting to be a Christian. And now that I think of it, if there was a group I am, but didn't want to be connected to that group, that is about as far as my want is for being a Christian. Given a choice between being a Christian and going to a rap concert, (I cannot stand rap), I'd rather go to the rap concert. "Christian" still gives me about the same feeling it did before being saved. It's a kaleidoscope of negative adjectives I do not want to be included in, as well as a few things I do want to be in.
All this information about you and what you believe, has nothing to do with this thread. please try to stay on topic. Thanks.

And the stuff she says to the preacher? Poppycock! That is the biggest pile of sentences any new believer is never going to say.
Again, you seem to know the minds of Everyone. i assure without lying i have brought people to the Lord Jesus Christ, and they did ask exactly what i said in the above situation. So it is only apparent that you don't know what your talking about. Just because you experienced becoming SAVED a certain way, does not mean everyone else comes to be SAVED like you were Saved.

You've bestowed her instantly with your pile of stuff you learned over the course of decades that you think has everything to do with being saved.
The pile of stuff as you call it, comes from the Word of God and what Scriptures teaches a person must do to be Saved.

It has as much to do with being saved as roaches playing football with a Studebaker on the South Pole!
lol. if Scriptures says if a person believes in Jesus, they are Saved, Then saying if you believe in Jesus your Saved has nothing to do with being Saved. lol. Are you 10? or are you older?

Is Sally saved? Who knows? Because you made her say and do stuff that means absolutely nothing, and then did not show if she persevered.
Scriptures teach if a person believes in Jesus Christ they are SAVED. Sally believes in Jesus Christ, therefore according to scriptures she is Saved. Now if you want to discuss if Sally remains Saved, i can come up with another hypothetical situation if you want me to.

I know you asked to prove something.
Again, it seems you are revealing your age. Who has asked you to prove something? Where are you even coming up with that? The poll is merely a simple question asking if Sally is Saved or not. i gave a hypothetical situation concerning Sally. All i am asking people is Sally Saved or not. You saying that you KNOW that i am asking for you to PROVE something, is all in your head.

I suspect we'll never know what you were planning on proving because this "poll" went south quickly. But, personally, I think that was a blessing because you only asked to prove something about yourself.
sigh... .. .

And the sad part is I know you're busy preparing to prove something else about something else right now, because you don't really talk to anyone here. You just prove you know stuff. And in doing so, you never prove anything and never teach anything. You don't communicate online.
huh? Dude, drugs are not the way to go. Not saying that you do drugs, only making a true comment that drugs are not the way to go.

Are you saying there is no way for a person to know if they are Saved or not? What are the requirements for a person to be Saved? If then a person complies with those requirements how can it not be known or judged that they are Saved or not?

What? A Preacher who Saves a person can't judge that person to be Saved? i do not understand what you are saying here. Is Sally Saved or not? If she meets all the requirements that Scriptures teach for a person to be Saved, how are you saying we can't tell if they are or not? Sally is either Saved or she is not saved. If she meets the Requirements that Scriptures teaches us to Get Saved, how is she not Saved.




Doesn't Scriptures plainly teach if you accept Christ YOUR SAVED? Sounds to me like you are trying to skirt around that issue. Sally is either Saved or not Saved if she accepts Christ into her life. Are you saying she is NOT Saved if she accepts Jesus into her life?



Yes, Getting SAVED is starting out on the right path.

Do you not know what a hypothetical Question is? If i ask a hypothetical question how do you think that i don't know it is hypothetical? The question is, why can't you answer the question, but instead divert from answering the question to attacking me. (whether you feet you did or did not, i feel that you did)



Brother, it is poll. Please think about what you are asking.



Yes i know this, but you seem to fail to understand this poll, it is not about me, nor what i believe, nor anything about me, but for some reason you have made it about me. Can't you just answer the poll or move on? If you don't like the poll or the hypothetical question asked, then why say anything at all? or is causing strife something that you like to do?



Again, this shows what manner of spirit that is in you. Who told you that i do not know how to be Saved? Who whispered that to you, that this is something that i personally am asking? You have altogether NOT replied about the poll but have attacked me personally. Why is that? Who are you listening to? If i am asking a hypothetical question concerning Sally, if she is Saved or not Saved, what have i done to you that you attack me as you have done with your reply. Have i done something to offend you? What, by me asking if Sally is Saved or not, that upsets you? really?

So your saying the Preacher was WRONG for telling Sally she was Saved? Is that what you are saying? That the preacher should not have judged her as being Saved? Really?

What should be Done AFTER she is saved is not what this Thread is about. This thread and poll is about "Is Sally Saved?" Not what she should do once she is Saved.

No! Absolutely not! No way, no how, will I let this stand!

Salvation is NOT something we control. It is God's domain!!!

We are not saved by doing. Not even by persevering!
We are saved by the Lord's doing!

And you call yourself a preacher? Man! I've seen 10 year olds do better than this!
