You take up your cross after you are born again, and on your way to heaven.
That's discipleship.
See, the heresy, is.......""Christ saved me, and now after im saved, i have to DO THIS and DO THAT and KEEP THIS, and try not to do THAT, and if by all these DOs and DONT's, i succeed to the END, ......then i have kept myself Saved.........i hope".
See that CHRIST REJECTiON ?? = that is SELF SELF SELF SELF Effort being taught , in place of God's Grace.
Its clear as a BELL.
= Thats LEGALISM, .......and it REJECTS the CROSS and replaces it with : "what i have to do to STAY SAVED".
That is the Gospel of SELF SAVING, and that is the Devil's Gospel of WORKS.
“Its clear as a BELL.”
“For the Father judgeth no man, but hath
committed all judgment unto the Son:
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:22, 24 KJV
it’s not about what you think but about what Jesus said that’s the judgement
that’s where you are going wrong you are afraid to hear his word who owns all jidgement and the same word you won’t hear , of
you don’t repent of that and start letting it in will sadly result in this
“He that rejecteth me, and
receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me,
he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”
John 12:48-50 KJV
you should look into the things
jesus taught in the four gospels its forever life and death
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but
my words shall not pass away.”
Matthew 24:35 KJV
it will be the same gospel until the end of the world
“And
this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
Matthew 24:14 KJV
he will never change
“Jesus Christ
the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”
Hebrews 13:8 KJV
You should turn your mind tonthe things jesus taught it’s how we are born again
“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.”
1 Peter 1:23,
but it’s hard when we’ve been convinced of contrary things but you are right it’s as clear as a bell
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that
believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
