1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,

ONLY a Christian can "depart from the Faith".
Nope

Just because someone goes to church does not mean they are saved,

Dude, your the one attacking here. Stop being a hypocrite.

I am just staying facts. If the truth hurts. Don;t blame me
All you are doing is AVOIDING Scripture and making personal attacks. That's what OSASers do!

John 15:6 (NKJV)
6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

Yep.

Again, Not everyone who goes to church is saved.

Nice try again..

You keep ignoring eternal life

You keep ignoring never die

You keep ignoring we are saved by grace THROUGH faith not of work

You keep ignoring not of works of righteousness which we have done but by his mercy..

Where is Gods mercy in your gospel?

Jesus said come and he will give you rest. Where is rest in your gospel

You do not offer me rest. You offer me a lifetime of working hard and hoping beyond hope I am good enough..

Nope

If they can depart from the faith as a born again child of God

1. John lied
2. Jesus lied
3. The Bible is a sham

Mark 13:13 (NKJV)

Mark 13 is about the tribulation period

You keep ignoring John 3 4 5 and 6 and Eph 2 and titus 3. I have quoted words from those passages all night..

It doesn't say that. Even if it did it still means what it says, "he who endures to the end shall be saved. "

dude your on my last nerve.

You either do not know scripture and the passages I am quoting, or you are trying to make an excuse to look at them

John 3. I quoted numerous times now

John 4. Ask And I will give you living water flowing to eternal life

John 5. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

John 6: 35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will [f]by no means cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will,but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes [j]in Me has everlasting life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead.50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”

Now can you read scripture..

The you are saved by works, Not grace.
Rom 11: 6
And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

You can;t have it both ways my friend,

Scripture must agree, not contradict itself.

Now can you read scripture..
NONE of that says a Christian can't become unsaved! You've been duped.

Written to Christians:
Romans 11:22 (NKJV)
22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

So never die does not mean never die
Eternal life does not mean eternal life
Live forever does not mean live forever

rom 11 was written to gentiles as a group. They they can be cut off.. and the natural branches (isreal) can be grafted back in, not induviduals.

Your tryign to hear man, Open your heart and let God in.
