Receiving the word and believing it, is not the same thing as receiving the Lord Jesus and believing in Him as Savior. You can believe things that the Bible says without trusting Christ as Savior. Indeed, that truth must be well illustrated right here, as so many claim to receive God's Word, the scripture, yet they regard Christ as only a chance-giver, instead of their Savior; the word has been received by some who ever let it take root.

Thou shalt call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins.
Tell me if any of these verses are not true ... by your statement above You have denied the word of God...You have denied Christ



John 6:63
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Philippians 2:15-17
[SUP]15 [/SUP]That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
[SUP]16 [/SUP]Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

[SUP]17 [/SUP]Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.

1 John 1:1-3
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

[SUP]2 [/SUP](For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
[SUP]3 [/SUP]That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

Anyone Ready to Trust Christ as Savior, instead of chance-giver?

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Philippians 3:20-21
But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.

Ps 138

"thy right hand will save me.
YHWH will perfect that which concerns me:"


Ephesians 1:13
In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

1 John 2:19
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.

John 6:40
For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in
For this is the will of my Father, that every one that beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

Hebrews 10:14
For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.

He Who began a good work in you will complete it.

One Is Advised to Receive the Gift, Purchased at Such Great Cost

One must accept a gift a gift can be rejected.
Thus one is strongly advised to receive the gift, purchased at such a great price, with such love. One is advised to put aside the dismissal of the Savior as a "chance-giver," and actually trust HIm as Savior.

He likes to be trusted.

Thou shalt call His name Jesus,
for He shall save His people from their sins.

Yet you object everytime someone mention works....you judge for yourself brother
1 John 2:29

If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.1 John 3:10
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
I don't object to works being the fruit of salvation. I only object to works being the root of salvation. "Practices righteousness and not sin, loves his brother" is the demonstrative evidence of being a child of God (1 John 2:29; 3:9,10). That is the fruit of salvation. "Practices sin and not righteousness, does not love his brother" is the demonstrative evidence of being a child of the devil (1 John 3:8,10).

No one here is saying works is the root of salvation

works is the Evidence of how much you blelieve

the evidence of things not seen



get it>

why you keep saying we teach works saves

we keep telling you WORKS CAN NOT SAVE ANYONE


but false fatih cannot save

false beliefe cannot save

to believe you dont have to keep the commandments
HAVE TO
HAVE TO KEEP the dommandments
to believe you DONT HAVE TO

will kill you

YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS

because keeping the commandments is evidence you have the HOLY SPIRIT

you HAVE TO HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT

you ahve to be born again

if you are not keeping the commandments you do NOT have the holy spirit filling you

for he ALWAYS KEEPS EVERY WORD IN THE BIBLE

ithe commandments is a TEST to see if you have the TRUE HOLY SPIRIT

and not some tongue babling false spirt
or commandment breaking holy spirit


what would you way to a church that calls themselves
OF THE SPIRIT
when they have meetings, get riled up and then all go out and kill someobody for the excitemnt?

wasnt that EXCITING?
didnt the SPIRIT really make that guy scream when he died?
wasnt that COLL?

yo KNOW that is not the holy spirit but SOME OTHER SPIRIT

same way with chiritians who go to CHRISTIAN ROCK concerts and say they ahve the spirit

that is NOT the holy spirit.


Luke 9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
Luke 9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.


the true holy spirit is OBEDIENT TO THE WORD OF GOD

all other spirits are demons PRETENDING TO BE THE HOLY SPIRIT

how you know?

Luke 9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.


anythng that DESTROYS MENS LIVES IS A DEMON SPIRIT!

and then JEsus went to another village...

It is HARD to tell if a spirit is the holy spirit

THEY ARE TRICKY!

JEsus said so!
it is HARD TO TELL!

1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.


it is HARD TO TELL!

JESUS SAID SO
dont get mad at me

you can have a demon spirit
and you CANNOT TELL IF IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT OF NOT

JESUS SAID SO!

they are TRICKY!

they pretend to be all nice
all sweet
all loving
and then they stab you in the back with gossip

or something

YOU CANNOT TELL except by this test


1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.


1 John 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
1 John 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
1 John 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Younhave to believe and coness that JESUS COMES INTO YOUR FLESH and LIVES THERE!~

JESUS KEEPS THE D=COMMANDMENTS!

if you dont agree with that you are of another spirit

the last verse says

again

1 John 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us;
he that is not of God heareth not us.
Hereby know we the spirit of truth,
and the spirit of error.


US means the apostles the gospels and the Bible

one with a true spirit will hear and obey the gospel

the whole Bible
they wont TAKE OUT A PART OF THE BIBLE
or SAY THAT IS OF THE JEWS
or THIS IS
Of the jews

THE WILL NOT SAY

THAT WAS ANOTHER DISPENSATION, HERE, HAVE ANOTHER BEER!

they will not say that!

they will be obedient to the commandments!

GOd says wine and beer are mockers

if you are thinking yo are saved and you are drinking and smoking and watching TV

be assures you have another spirit.


1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.


John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.


If you love God
he said keep the commandments
and he will give you the RIGHT SPIRIT OF OBEDIENCE TO THE TRUTH

not the false spirit of commandment breaking and teaching commandment breaking which is NOT love

and

this is the test.

Isa 8:20 To the law
and to the testimony:
if they speak not according to this word,
it is because there is no light in them.


he didnt say there is a LITTLE LIGHT in them

Jesus is saying they have NO LIGHT AT ALL in them

if they teach breaking the ten commandments
they dont have the TRUTH

WHY?
those breaking the commandments and teacahing men so have nother spirit

not the spirit of truth


Psa 119:151 all thy commandments are truth.

so if all the commandments are the truth

what is the SPIRIT OF TRUTH?
why
the spirit of the commandments! Jesus holy spirit

do yo have the spirit?
do you have the spirit of TRUTH?
Do you have the spirit of the COMMANDMENTS?



that is the test

Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

( you are a liar and a deceiver Jesus is the word they all received him they all got the power, God is not a respector of persons some neglected him after receiving him)
You can't escape the truth man....(show me in the scripture where it say they claim to receive the word)
John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Hebrews 2:3
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

this is JEsus come in the flesh

those who dont admit the holy spirit comesand dwels in you and he ALWAYS keeps the commandments

it really is tricky knowing what spirit you are of!

it si!

even John the disciple had a bad spirit

he wanted to strike down people with lightning!

anyone who want s to KILL [people has johns demonic spirit that attacked him

so

just repent
say

David knew that prayer very well

he always prayed for the spirit of the ten commandments love
always

Psa 119:173 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.



Psa 119:175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.
Psa 119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.



YOU NEED TO RAY

that he put aLL his ten commandments in your heart

or you will never be converted
and changed
to walk in Gods ways.




Psa 78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

"I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living." -Psalms 116:9.


"ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD." -Psalms 119:1.


"They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways." -Psalms 119:3.


"And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts." -Psalms 119:45.

I don't object to works being the fruit of salvation. I only object to works being the root of salvation. "Practices righteousness and not sin, loves his brother" is the demonstrative evidence of being a child of God (1 John 2:29; 3:9,10). That is the fruit of salvation. "Practices sin and not righteousness, does not love his brother" is the demonstrative evidence of being a child of the devil (1 John 3:8,10).
true so we can move to this point...
Matthew 7:19
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

My flesh and my heart faileth;
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. - Ps 73

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. Ps 23

Now it may be that some day a number of persons will want ice water,
but never get it. But as His sheep, I have promises.

The Lord is my shepherd, therefore, I am His sheep.

The sheep are promised:
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.

It is most comforting to know that our Lord is not just our judge,
but also our Savior -- not a mere "chance-giver."

Thou shalt call His name Jesus,
for He shall save His people from their sins.

Jesus was a commandment keeper [yes]
and he was a nice guy [???]

name some other commandment keepers in the Bible!
they are nice guys!

David [committed adultery & murdered the husband]
David committed adultery & then murdered the husband.
Yet we find his name attached to Ps 23:

"The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not want; . . .
Surely goodness & mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;
And I shall dwell in the House of the LORD forever."

David had eternal security, though he sinned grievously.

"There is none that does good, no not one."

Now since you are a commandment breaker & not a commandment keeper,
what will you do?
He came not to call the righteous, but sinners to a change of mind.

Now when will you change your mind from thinking of the Lord Jesus as a "chance-giver,"
instead of as the Savior?

Thou shalt call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins.

"David knew that prayer very well

Kindly refrain from making up things.

I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel; which is not another gospel: only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema. As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema. . . .


For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man. For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ. . . .


. . . the false brethren privily brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: to whom we gave place in the way of subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. . . .


But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he stood condemned. For before that certain came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing them that were of the circumcision. And the rest of the Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that even Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation. But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Cephas before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as do the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, how compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? We being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor. For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God. I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought.


O foolish Galatians, who did bewitch you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth crucified? This only would I learn from you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now perfected in the flesh? Did ye suffer so many things in vain? if it be indeed in vain. He therefore that supplieth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. Know therefore that they that are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all the nations be blessed. So then they that are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them. Now that no man is justified by the law before God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith; and the law is not of faith; but, He that doeth them shall live in them. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.


. . . Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could make alive, verily righteousness would have been of the law. But the scripture shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.


But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. So that the law is become our tutor to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith is come, we are no longer under a tutor. For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. . . .


But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a bondservant though he is lord of all; but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed of the father. So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the rudiments of the world: but when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, that he might redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. So that thou art no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.


. . . : but now that ye have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how turn ye back again to the weak and beggarly rudiments, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage over again? Ye observe days, and months, and seasons, and years. I am afraid of you, lest by any means I have bestowed labor upon you in vain.
. . .


Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the handmaid, and one by the freewoman. Howbeit the son by the handmaid is born after the flesh; but the son by the freewoman is born through promise. Which things contain an allegory: for these women are two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing children unto bondage, which is Hagar. Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia and answereth to the Jerusalem that now is: for she is in bondage with her children. But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother. . . .


For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.


. . . Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace. For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

"King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. And Agrippa said unto Paul, With but little persuasion thou wouldest fain make me a Christian." Acts

If King Agrippa received the word as the Word of God and believed it as the Word of God, that does not imply that the word had taken root in him, and it certainly does not mean that Agrippa believed in the Lord Jesus as His Savior.

Receiving the word (without root) does not imply receiving the Savior by trusting Him as Savior.

Now if any reading this only think of the Lord Jesus as chance-giver, you are encouraged to the the following scriptures take root as you repent, & start trusting HIm as Savior, instead of down-grading Him to chance-giver.

Take Root 1:
Thou shalt call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins.

Take Root 2:
"I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish."

Take Root 3:
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, not of works lest anyone should boast.

E S in the Psalms; Ps 73

It really is outrageous to deny eternal security; in essence one is denying the content of salvation and the definition of Christ as Savior instead of "chance-giver."


"Nevertheless I am continually with thee:
Thou hast holden my right hand.
Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel,
And afterward receive me to glory.
Whom have I in heaven but thee?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.
My flesh and my heart faileth;
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.
