saved state?
so how can I be saved if I may spend eternity in hell? That is not saved, that is psuedo saved, that is someone giving me a gift, telling me it is one thing, when it is something else.
If you do not agree with the word. YOU DO NOT HAVE FAITH.
It is plain and simple. what are you not seeing?
Yes it is plain and simple, which is why I find it so strange that people can not get the concept that one is not saved initially. There are steps one has to do before being saved.
I will mention this scripture again, but I know you will deny it again. But it has to do with when Jesus sent the Apostles out to preach the word to the rest of the Jews. This is not the tribulation period.
Matthew 10:22
And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
Let's see if the Apostles agreed with this;
James 1:12
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for
when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
Hebrews 10:36
For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.
Hebrews 3:12-14
Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.
2 Timothy 4:2-8
Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and
will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.
1 Timothy 4:16
Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching.
Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.
Romans 11:19-22
Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you,
provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.
