    Why I now believe that salvation can be lost.

    lol .. isn't it amazing how many of us have selective hearing with each other and many of us even with God .. He speaks but do we listen or when He speaks, do we hear only what we wish to hear ..

    Why I now believe that salvation can be lost.

    Anything can be lost, including eternal life. Salvation is eternal life IF we believe, love, obey, repent when we disobey. Any of the following can cause us to lose the gift of eternal life - losing faith and not regaining it; stop loving Jesus Christ and never start loving Him again; disobey...

    Why I now believe that salvation can be lost.

    Eternal life IS eternal if you choose to believe and endure in your belief and if you choose to obey God's Will and genuinely repent when you fail to do so. Eternal salvation is a gift offered to ALL but not ALL accept it and of those who do accept it, not ALL choose to keep it - their choice...

    Why I now believe that salvation can be lost.

    There are many verses that really do lead one to believe in Once Saved Always Saved and they are misleading as the reality is "one is once saved always saved IF ... THEN" . For example: One is once saved always saved IF one believes in Jesus Christ as Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, one and only Way...

    Yes, Jesus is alive and He does love you and all people, even those who don't love Him.

    Apparently I can't get married

    Lots of food for thought here. Thank you. I am obviously not putting my thoughts clearly enough. I, too, am past the point of child-bearing at age almost 75 and I had a hysterectomy for cancer at age 62, so that would have ended all, too. I have never been the marrying or maternal type even...

    Apparently I can't get married

    I was born and raised a Catholic and left the Church in my mid 40s. As a child in a RCC school, I was brainwashed. Only Catholics would ever go to Heaven and we were not allowed to have a family Bible or to read the Bible. We had to go only by what priests and nuns told us. Anyway, the RCC then...

    Yes, in the final judgement, it will be between God and each of us and the only true and valuable Intercessor will be Jesus Christ. In our day to day life, we need to confess to God and to express sincere and genuine sorrow and repentance and then and only then will God forgive us and forget our...

    We are to fellowship with other believers and be there for each other and I do try to do that but I back off when said believers start accepting things contrary to God's Word and God's Will. If they wish to continue on their path, I shall not go with them. Whether or not we belong to a...

    Pedophilia and other things are rampant in today's denominations but I think man pleasing man instead of God, man loving man instead of God, man serving man instead of God says it all. There are some good Christians in denominational churches but I believe if they stay in said churches even...

    I am a non-denominational Bible believing Christian. I realise most denominations have good things going but many, if not most, have a lot of "self-serving" and "man-pleasing" things going on - man's will usurping God's Will when it suits man. I want no part of that. For example, the Anglican...

    I think all people are our neighbours in the sense that we are commanded by Christ to love our neighbour as ourself and I believe that means that any "good" we can do with or for others whether they are believers or not, we should do. We are told in God's Word to not fellowship with unbelievers...

    Apparently I can't get married

    And, Dino, I have said as clearly as I can what I believe and try to follow and if you don't understand what I am saying or don't agree with what I said or how I said it, that is your choice. I am not going to keep repeating it. I have said what I said as well as I currently can and I mean what...

    Apparently I can't get married

    Yes, Dino, abortion is murder and I was not trying to cite it as birth control but, rather, as my believing that God would not approve of artificial birth control to inhibit/prohibit and pregnancy and He would not approve of abortion aka murder to end a baby's life no matter what the...

    Apparently I can't get married

    I do not go by "feeling" and I never used that context. "Knowing" and "Understanding" what God says and means or what God would have said and meant is not by feeling but, rather, by enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. I would venture to say that those who are "man-pleasing" instead of God-pleasing...

    Apparently I can't get married

    That is why I added the part about not saying you and Dino or anyone else is not a "true" Christian as it is not my place to judge that. God knows our hearts and He knows who is a "true" Christian and who is not. When we were children, our parents had rules and some they clearly specified, so...

    Apparently I can't get married

    and my reply to Dino would be the same for you .. "true" Christians are lead by the Holy Spirit and do know and understand what God IS saying and what God IS meaning .. please do not interpret what I just said as saying you are not a true Christian as I am not saying that about you or Dino or...

    Apparently I can't get married

    I say your thinking is flawed, too, in that, yes, God told Adam and Eve who are first man and first woman, to go forth and multiply and it is not rocket science to know that God meant for those they produced to do likewise. He, also, said to Abraham that He would make him the father of many...
