And lordship salvation, "If, if and if then you were really never saved." All based on a subjective observation of a persons sin,works and lifestyle.
When the true tares take knowledge and truth to discern, they act as the light.......the subjective "sin meter" won't find them.
Great post all the way around, but this is a KEY in the Christian way of life.
Eternal life is secured and assured at the moment of believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 16:31,John 3:16.
The issue of eternal life is settled and DONE. No longer are we to question our eternal life. Saved is...
@Musicmaster Said~~
Eternal security, then, for those who believe the gospel, is completely intact but with far too many confusing the continuance of sin affecting salvation versus reward in Heaven. To my students I argue that human pride and self-righteousness are the main obstacles to...
He died for ALL.
Why is that so hard to see? There is no female or male in Christ......Based on salvation and the free gift.
But we still have nations, male and female, nationalities.....
Then they wouldn't be people and they would not have veins.
The Lord Jesus Christ is 100% humanity. Blood, heart and veins........Maybe this is why you struggle so much with the Jews. He is a Jew. He is Israel. And He is 100% human.
They can't. And the Lord Jesus Christ would be EXACT and it would be without question if we could lose salvation.
It's the Lake of Fire as a consequence.......He would NOT leave any questions.
Never perish.
Born of imperishable seed.
Sealed.
No CONDEMNATION, no not ever any condemnation...
So you must be for open boarders, have purple hair and have no less than 3 nose rings. No Mexicans. No Canadians. No Americans.No Indians. No Russians. .......Just one big melting pot.
We should let em all in the USA, there is neither Jew nor Greek.
I quit drinking. I quit smoking. I quit being mean. I found a nice, non-cussing, pot luck, singing, and gossiping church!
They all have their lives cleaned up and quit SINNING. We all gossip and "pray" that the losers can catch up with us.
;)
Well @mailmandan. You are a nominal believer to most here.
You sin. You screw up. You think imperfect. You don't "do" as much as you should........You don't persevere as much as me........You are a tare. A nominal believer.
Unless you can convince me you are persevering as well as I am.
Sealed with the Sons Seal.
Born of imperishable seed.
Never perish.
Nothing can separate us from the Love of Christ.
We have a forever advocate.
We are seated with Him.
We are His sheep.
We will never, no not ever come into condemnation.
We have eternal life.
Who is resisting God's work? Not...
Lucifer(or whatever his name is) Lives as an angel of light.
Satan wants us to clean up our flesh and stop overt sin.......Then he can say , "See we can do it on our own!"
The fact that we see so much "overt sin" in this world is a judgement on Satans allowed authority in this planet. He is a...
You know as well as I do. The self-righteous, loss of salvation crowd is in a worse spot than any "sinning believer."
Sin will eat a believer up eventually, but self righteousness and pride in our supposed "cleaned" up flesh usually takes the grave to clean up.
