In every "church" there are going to be tares in with the wheat. Jesus told us about them in Matt 13. Jesus loves them too as well as the true believers and He ahs words to speak to them. This letter of John's was to go around to these 7 churches in Asia. In some places He is talking to believers and in some cases unbelievers.

Remember do not take someone else's medicine!

Check out this grace-based teachings. It'll bless you and you will fall deeper in love with the Lord.

I am very much in love with my savior sir. I am surely blessed! I dont need your watered down gospel. The gospel is the WHOLE truth. You must have discernment in all things from the spirit that gives it not of your own flesh .

Will you not be answering to what you perceive as insult slander or the likes when it's not? if so then no one should reply at all
That word 'perceive' is the one that always gets us :)

There are some who were truly saved and chose to depart.

Commentary
Matthew Henry Commentary
4:1-5 The Holy Spirit, both in the Old and the New Testament, spoke of a general turning from the faith of Christ, and the pure worship of God. This should come during the Christian dispensation, for those are called the latter days. False teachers forbid as evil what God has allowed, and command as a duty what he has left indifferent. We find exercise for watchfulness and self-denial, in attending to the requirements of God's law, without being tasked to imaginary duties, which reject what he has allowed. But nothing justifies an intemperate or improper use of things; and nothing will be good to us, unless we seek by prayer for the Lord's blessing upon it.
A believer can depart the faith, but never depart from God. I believe what the bible says, not what man says. If you do your own research without blinding yourself by your own opinion, the Spirit will show you the truth about the security of the believer. If you study the writings of Paul as they are applied to the believers security, I think you will be able to see clearly that salvation is not dependent on us, but on Him.

[h=1]2 Timothy 4:18[/h] [SUP]18 [/SUP]And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.


[h=1]1 Thessalonians 5:23-24[/h] [SUP]23 [/SUP]And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

[SUP]24 [/SUP]Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

These go with those verses also.

Philippians 1:6 (NASB)

[SUP]6 [/SUP] For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.

Jude 1:24-25 (NASB)


[SUP]24 [/SUP] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy,


[SUP]25 [/SUP] to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

Hebrews 12:2 (KJV)
[SUP]2 [/SUP] Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Yeah... 'I will spew thee out of my mouth' in Revelation. Jesus is talking about a church family. Not an individual christian alone.

This is about a luke warm local church (not the building.. but that local assembly of saved, baptised believers) eg.. church at Ephesus.. church at Phillipi

And it is representative of a church age, where in today's churches most christians are materialistic and in between hot and cold in their faith for God.

So.. each of God's churches that He calls His own.. would have the Holy Spirit 'dwelling in the midst' see Matthew 18.

Each individual in each church would have the Holy Spirit 'indwelling' their soul.

Two different things.

A church may have the Holy Spirit taken from them.. no longer in the midst. They then become just a social club or just a group of christians assembling.. rather than having the Holy Spirit there in the midst.

Each individual in that church though, even after no longer being one of God's churches...KEEPS their salvation.

Jesus isn't spewing out people from His Family of every believer. He has committed to never do that to a saved person.

He is removing the Comforter from a local church family.

'The Lampstand' in the churches in Revelation. .. that is the place of the Holy Spirit in a church family.
I think you're on to something here

I sometimes get into a silly and playful mood and I fear that sometimes I may say things
I hear ya, I'm in that boat often (might be so right now ;)). But it's not always you, I've said things here in jest and 'literary license' and some people react like I've pissed in their Cheerios. Too many forget to keep their sense of humor here, and honestly I find that more offensive than the occasional slipped remark.

Jerry,
A whole gang of us are meeting at Ft. Desoto Sunday (Pavilion #8) A friend of mine rented it, and he has half the county coming, I believe.... all different churches, and some not churched... and hardly anyone will know anyone else unless they happen to be family.

You are very welcome to join us.

You, too, Allen & Anita... if you don't mind the long drive for just a few hours.

even the closest of friends fight sometimes and that is to be expected among us as Christians as well, however the bdf may take that a bit to far
I nominate this for the understatement of the year award :)

Yeah, I'm pretty bad about that. I just don't have much of a sense of humor.

Let's see..... can't be "unsaved", but there's a falling away from the faith happening right now..... in order to fall away, one falls away from the faith once adhered to. It's an apostasy, departing from the faith never to return. You can't fall away from something you never had, neither is this scripture symbolic. It is what it is.

Does no one ever wonder why those urgent warnings were given to those people back then who would be dead for at least 1,950 years before the things they were being warned about would happen?

OK, I'd love to keep throwing one-liners atcha all but I'm starving.

Oh as for the OP - I think there's a lot of good answers to it here already. Not much I could add that hasn't been said. 'Cept do we really have to turn this into yet another osas thread? ;)
