But this Scripture instructs us to wear the helmet "The HOPE of Salvation" and for good reason we are to wear it, because we are to HOPE for that Salvation, it is not guaranteed as this generation likes to believe. This generation likes to wear the Helmet of Salvation, instead of the Helmet Scriptures speak of, which is the HOPE of Salvation, big difference. But He that is enduring to the end to be Saved, is indeed wearing that helmet "The HOPE of Salvation"

While you and others seem to have doubts, maybe you do and maybe you do not, I have the assurance of eternal life.
i have the assurance of Eternal Life, i am Saved, i am covered by the Blood of Jesus Christ, i am forgiven by God, i am Saved by Grace through Jesus Christ, i am Holy (because of HIM), i am Pure (because of HIM), i am white as snow (because of HIM), i am perfect (because of HIM), i am righteous (because of HIM). This is where i stand today. What this generation utterly FAILS to realize nor understand and believe the Scriptures, is that does not mean i will be in this condition tomorrow.
It is specifically written in many places that a person who hates does not love God or know God, it is written that those who hate will not enter into Heaven. So even though i live today as described above, if a year from now, big Bubba breaks into my house, rapes me, and then fails to kill me after stabbing me 12 times, i am left paralized and maimed for the rest of my life. Are you trying to tell me that i CAN'T turn away from God? i hate this person, and i will never forgive this person, EVER. Am i still Saved? Today my Salvation is sure, sealed, and i am Heaven Bound. But NOWHERE in All of Scriptures does it teach that person can't fall away from that, Can't turn away from God after they are Saved. This generation believes a few verses that tickle their ears (OSAS verses) all the while ignoring, making void, or interpreting away all the other verses which teach it is NOT. They believe in a false doctrine, a false security. And these do not listen to me, when i plainly tell them what God plainly told me. That. "If what you believe contradicts even one verse in Scriptures, then what you believe is WRONG" Those who grasp those Words of God given to me to give to this generation, will begin to start to see the TRUTH, those who reject that Word from God will be rejected by God likewise. For it is not me that you reject, but Him who told me that.
Absolutely no doubt in my heart or mind!
mine neither. The difference is i understand that just because my heart and mind are well with God TODAY, does not mean it will be well with God a year from now, that is the difference between Truth and believing lies that come from satan who appears as an angel of Light.
An Angel appears to you and tells you Once You Are Saved you are always Saved, this teaching is contrary to some verses in Scriptures (a person can be blotted out of the Book of Life) Therefore that Angel is NOT from God, but is from satan which looks like an Angel from God. NO ANGEL will ever tell you something that is contrary to Scriptures, any verse, any chapter, any book of Scriptures. They can't.
I base that assurance on the Word of God
i base my assurance on the Word of God as well. But i believe Scriptures and not false doctrines that are being taught today. Even though my assurance of Salvation is based on the Word of God, it is the very Word of God that plainly teaches you can fall away, you can choose of your own free will to deny Jesus Christ, to turn away from God, to hate others, to not forgive others. Tell me all you that think your Salvation is assured forever, answer me this question, which i would think you will not do. If you are Assured of your Salvation today, and tomorrow someone does something very terrible to you and your family, and you hate that person, and will not forgive that person because of what he did to you and your children. Tell me Are you still SAVED? Is it not written if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will God forgive you of yours. So are you saying that if a person is TRULY SAVED, it is not possible, they can ever hate someone? That they will always forgive anyone who does them very wickedly. Careful how you answer, God just may test you on that?
.. .. ... while you seem to base your hope on your ability to please God with your living.
How is this not from your own mind and your own thinking? Have i said anything anywhere where it would seem that my hope is on my ability to please God for Salvation. This is coming from your own mind and thinking, i have never said such a thing, or even implied it.
People, please be careful is accusing the brothers and sisters, for it is written of satan that he too falsely accused the brothers day and night. If you are going to accuse me of this or that, then by all means do the Godly thing, and reveal what i said that makes you THINK that is what i believe. How is falsely accusing someone of a thing, in LOVE? If you are going to accuse someone of something, then do the Godly thing, and reveal the reason why you are accusing thus. How hard is it to quote a person and what they say, and then accuse them?
But not this generation they would much rather just accuse a person of this or that, not based on what they actually said, but solely based on what they have judged concerning that person and what they believe.
