Yes, notice it says every branch "IN ME" meaning they were once "IN CHRIST" but did not bring forth fruit.
John 15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit
he taketh away:
And if we do not abide in the Word, in the belief of what the Word says is true, then what happens
John 15:6 If a man abide not in me,
he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them,
and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Same as I showed in my OP....
Romans 11:20-22 “Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:[SUP]21 [/SUP]For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.[SUP]22 [/SUP]Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.”
That sure sounds like a warning to abide in faith doesn’t it? For we stand by faith, but some say you cannot fall from the faith, which is contrary to the words of God.
