Can you tell a person that ask the lord into their heart to be their lord and savior, that believes in the death, burial, and resurrection, that repents their sins and ask the lord to make them what he wants them to be that they are saved?

Isn't that what preachers do. They say if you prayed that then you have changed your everlasting salvation.

The Lord tells us to test the spirit. What are we tested it from? To see if they are of GOD.

I don't believe that is what a saved person is.

I believe a saved person recognizes that it is more than ritual and circumstance. That love is not a destination or a set of rules, but a way of life.

Then you are truly free and truly saved (not from Hell, but from condemnation itself). But by the blood of Christ, all sins' price was paid.

What sets apart grace from law is the realisation that sins have already been atoned for and that judgement and 'sheep vs goats' is a dead concept (for man's mind).

The only concepts that remain (that humanity need worry about) are love for God and love for humanity.

All will be judged, both the 'righteous and the unrighteous'.

And as a simple truth; who is an imperfect man to judge another imperfect man, when the first does not know the second, and the second does not obey the first? Yet the God of all things knows each man infinitely, and will be the only righteous judge.

I doubt highly I will be judged and condemned for my lack of knowledge or my circumstance, but rather for my motive and how much love I have shown my fellow men. For my emotion and my walk. And my action and it's intent.

God judges the fatherless and the widowed, also remember.

Someone who is spiritually enlightened will know to do good better, and someone who is spiritually in the dark, will not. So how can a just God judge both with harsh blows? God is a righteous and a fair God.

The oppressed and those of weak mind and spirit will be judged with that in mind.

It is not simply a case of 'choose Jesus and walk perfectly'. Such expectation for 'Christianity' is oppressive, judgemental and impossible in practice for any human.

John 8:24 That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I Am who I claim to be,[e] you will die in your sins.”

John 14:6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

John 5:39 “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! 40 Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life.

John 5:24 “I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.

Indeed.

The spirit is the will.

Jesus had will to work. Will to heal. Will to love. Will to forgive.

It is something that is not found in word but in action. A way of life.

Judging someone's 'lack of faith' or that 'they have this illness because they don't know God', is judging all the same.

Only God knows if they know Him. In any case, clothe the hungry, feed the weak.

The oppressed need lifted, not pointed at.

And that goes for you too my friend.

Meditate on this; God is a God of love.

Have it always in your mind. What does that mean? Think of Jesus love towards others. Think of the forgiveness, lack of condemnation and general attitude of Jesus, even toward the sick, the tax collectors, even prostitutes.

He was the epitome of love.

I don't hate these people. I believe anyone can be saved. No matter what our past is. I’m trying to get bipolar people who don’t accept Jesus to at least look in another direction. If that bothers you I’m sorry, but the post is open for discussion. I welcome all.

Most people think 'I believe Jesus is Jesus, therefore I am righteous in all I do and I 'have the spirit'' as if it has entered them.

That is not what Jesus is trying to say, in my eyes.

TO truly believe, we must become. True belief never doubts, and never falters. Therefore, who is a TRUE believer?? Nobody is.

There are those who have sinned less than others. those who read every day, or those who know much about scripture.

But knowledge shall pass. Love does not keep record of wrongs. And all shall be renewed.

There are many hints as to the love God really is. He is WORTHY of praise. His love is perfect.

He creates with all things in mind.

IF I was to ask 'who on Earth can be counted so worthy as to be allowed judgement over another human being?' what answer would I get?

Only God knows thoughts and feelings. Motives and heart.

Good motive and good thought are the only real righteousness one can achieve.

All change starts and ends with self. And the only real devil we need fight is the one in our minds telling us different.

We all know our imperfect actions. But ignorance was the basis for the first sin. We all contain an Eve, in a sense.

We all deny.

That is why outward judgement itself is the only thing I detest.

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, blasphemy against God, is more than what we see it as.

It is known as the only unforgivable sin.

So what is it?

Blasphemy against the spirit, to me, is saying 'No, I will not. And I never will'.

It is saying 'I WILL GO AGAINST YOU ALWAYS'

And nobody can commit such a sin. God shall be revealed to the world. And every knee shall bow.

Every tongue shall confess.

Nobody can doubt once they see.

God. Does. Not. Fail.

That's why I ask people what they believe and to tell the truth -- I"M NO GOOD AND NOT WORTHY OF HEAVEN -- I'M WASHED CLEAN BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB -- BY MY FAITH IN HIM -- I"M A DIRTY NO GOOD SINNER

Actually all sickness were came from demonic source including bipolar case. But it's different from demonic possession. Bipolar is not demonic possession...it's clearly a mental illness(chemical imbalance of the brain).It can be treated with medicine prescribed by the doctors. It can be treated also by the DIVINE healing if the patient has enough FAITH- theres no greater physician than Jesus. He can heal everything like cancer and even bipolar cases.

But why ask at all? Hear what I'm saying;

EVerything I've said there. I truly believe.

But I always get the question, when it boils down . . 'If all will end up with God, then what is the point of it all? Why are we told to do all these things? Why is there a Hell? Why don't we all just run round sinning freely?

And, that very question (in bold) answers it all.

It's not something I can explain to you. Not with words.

But let me ask you, with the knowledge that both you and I are going to heaven nomatter what we do, what would you do?

Have sex, kill, steal, lie, torture, hate, spite, take revenge on those who have wronged you?

This is the TRUE test of character.

Imagine the Messiah, your dear friend, God's son and a perfect man, washing your feet. Then being taken and tortured on a cross to die for sins He has never committed. Then telling you that He has called you to freedom.

Does your heart bleed? Do you see what He has done?

This forces me to look at myself. Not others.

I am imperfect. But so are others. I shall love them regardless.

Outward affection is the only thing that takes my mind off the total unworthiness of myself. I am shamed. Jesus has shamed us.

Why is it everyone I know that is diagnosed with bipolar fits the criteria that I put forth?

Why is it that at least 95% that responded so far meets those criteria?

I believe we need an open discussion to give people another option. At first they may not believe Demons but what does it hurt to speak to a doctor that does. Why does one just want to medicate them and not search for all possibilities?

Why does this hit such a cord???

Let’s all be adults here and have an open discussion. Let the chips fall where they may
