Sin is imperfection..not just the deadly 7. No one, even after conversion is perfect in the sinless sense. The stain of sin is forgiven at salvation, but the dual nature of people remains. Having the Holy Spirit but living in a fallen world with a fallen body. So believers can sin less, be...

1 John 5:13 KJV These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

You can be 100 percent sure you go to heaven when you die.. 1 admit you are a sinner, needing deliverance 2 know that Jesus died for your sin 3 believe He is God, that He can forgive you 4 ask for salvation from Him

Well, a life inspired by personal surrender to Jesus would not be eternal salvation, but the reasonable response to already being given eternal life. Eternal salvation is a free gift of God, not by works.

Everytime i will. Its the most important part from being lost to saved.

The KJV is a very accurate translation of the original Hebrew and Greek. I'm not kjvo but surely you got to include this.

This describes service to Jesus, which is great. What about how you become born again? I.e believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life?

In complete agreement 🤝

There are many popular one line statements believers love to say. For eg... believers gathered not in a church setting but at a beach or social event or worship concert.. Then the speaker will go on..all excited... and say 'where two or three are gathered, there I am with them!' Referring to...

Prime example of context.. There is the phrase 'God heareth not sinners' So this will get used to say a lost person can't ask for salvation. But the context? An unsaved man is saying this to Pharisees and Scribes. So you don't take what an ungodly individual says as the truth.

Real baptism is by immersion in water, of a person who is already saved. In scripture, it occurs very soon after conversion because in that time, people committed right from get go. It cannot save a soul eternally, but is part of a 'salvaged life' to God. It's also not something anyone can...

The thing about this though also, is that a person who has already believed on the Lord Jesus can't do this blasphemy. It isn't about a converted person.

The great distinction is the separation between the faith that leads to eternal salvation, aka John 3, 5, 8, 10..and the faith of daily service to Jesus aka James 2 and the like.

Wait, I'm not connecting being born again with joining a church. The whole point I'm making is a body of Christ is different to the Family of God. Know you are a sinner headed for hell, needing Jesus to save you eternally Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,that He is God, that He died and rose...

Yeah, belief is a change of heart, mind in believing on Jesus Christ at receiving eternal life. This happened with Paul on that road.

I'm saying the body of Christ isn't all redeemed, but a biblical, NT, local Christian assembly. When born again, a believer has entered the Family and Kingdom, but not a local assembly (body of Christ). Conversion is born again..meaning they believed on the Lord Jesus Christ as per John...

Weeeell the part that is not so biblical is saying conversion enters a believer into the body of Christ. The body of Christ in 1st Corinthians 12 is the assembly of baptized believers at Corinth. Paul calls the Corinthians 'you are the body of Christ and members in particular' There is a...

Repent doesn't mean a continuing action of lessening sin in our lives. It is a change of mind, heart. Not a work when talking about receiving eternal life. It's not 'turning from sin'...how does a lost person, dead in sin, turn from it? Know you are a sinner headed for hell. Believe Jesus is...

The thing is what people mean by turning from sin or committing their life to Christ, when they are talking about getting eternal salvation. Logically, a lost person, dead in sin, can't turn from it. A saved person can turn from sin, because they are not dead in sin. With committing your...

What happens alot, is people think Baptist and then that is Baptists from the Reformation..or at least when they had a formalized confession of beliefs.. I.e London confession in 1600s. Then they think of Anabaptists and they are thinking of mennonites and the like. The fact is the distinctive...
