HOW CAN I BE 100% SURE THAT I WILL GO TO HEAVEN WHEN I DIE?

[amazingrace]

Salvation from start (justification) to finish (glorification) is eternal.

In John 10:27-28, we read - My sheep hear My voice, (not some of them hear His voice and some of them don't hear His voice) and I know them, (not some of them He knows and some of them He doesn't know) and they follow Me. (not some of them follow Him and some of them don't follow Him) And I give them eternal life, (not some of them He gives eternal life and some of them He doesn't give eternal life) and they shall never perish; (not some of them will never perish and some of them will perish) neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. (not some of them will never be snatched out of His hand and some of them will be snatched out of His hand)

Romans 8:30 - Moreover, whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. *ALL of them. *Notice how Paul uses the past tense for a future event to stress its certainty.

Ephesians 1:13 - In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

That's the promise of salvation

Is it possible to fall from grace?


Gal 5:4 ;Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

What happened to these?

1 Timothy 5:12
Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

That's the promise of salvation

Is it possible to fall from grace?

Gal 5:4 ;Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

The present tense of the word "justified" implies that these Galatians were contemplating justification by the law. They were getting side tracked by legalistic teachers. "You who are trying to be justified by the law have fallen away from grace," but had they fully come to that place yet?

In Galatians 3:3, we read - Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? The middle voice implies "making yourselves perfect" by means of self-effort. The present tense indicates that the action is in progress and that there is still time to correct the error.

If these Galatians lost their salvation and it was a done deal, then why didn't Paul simply say you "lost your salvation" and I'm done with you? Instead, in verse 10, he said - I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.

So, why would Paul have confidence in these Galatians if they lost their salvation and it's all over for them?

What happened to these?

1 Timothy 5:12
Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

You need to read 1 Timothy 5:12 in context. Ntice the contrast between verse 5, "Now she who is really a widow, and left alone, trusts in God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day" and verse 6, "But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives. This means dead (spiritually) while living (physically). Paul said in verse 6, But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives. He also said in verse 11, But refuse to put younger widows on the list, for when they feel sensual desires in disregard of Christ, they want to get married. "Lives in pleasure," "sensual desires." 12 thus incurring condemnation, because they have set aside their previous pledge.

Are you sure these widows were saved and lost her salvation? If that was the case then there would not have been a problem with whether they should or should not be put on such a list in verse 11.

I try to live as righteous a life as possible since being baptised and try to live a sinless life. But I still have problems with things like swearing and smoking mainly. I wish God would speak to me directly so I know where I'm at spiritually because if theres no hope in making it to heaven then I may as well just live recklessly right?

John 14:6
Jesus is the only way, the only truth, and the only eternal life . it is in him we live and have our being. He keep you and you obey him out of love and Nothing can separate you from him

salvation cannot be lost, once we die and are judged and found worthy we enter eternal salvation and it cannot be lost.

It is interesting.. osas has really come to life in the last 50 years.

Satan worshipers proclaimed their tactics to destroy the Christian churches.
Instead of persecution from outside. They would corrupt from the inside.

The corrupting message they aimed to use was to cause people to feel saved and think they were safe, while sin abounds.

Cause the leaders to teach messages that teach no self denial and your saved.

Osas is a deception of the devil.

I know people that were baptised and has a deep relationship with Jesus but over time lost their love and went back into the world.

If the path was ment to be easy then Jesus would have said so.
Mat 7:14-15
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Luk 14:26-27
26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

2Ti 4:3-4
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

OSAS is a fable.
