Faith, not works is the key. If we believe, we belong to Him and that is the final judgment. He who does not believe does not belong to Him. That person is not born again. He may have accepted Christ in some kind of formal ceremony but that does not save anyone. He may have been baptized a thousand times but that still does not save anyone. However, if one believes and acknowledges his faith openly before mankind, he is completely saved from hell and never has to worry about hell ever again.
Why do we continually attempt to attach a cost to this free gift. If you belong to Him, if you walk away, He will put you in a pigpen to get you back. It's going to happen. No way that it does not happen. You are coming back. Hebrews six and ten is not speaking to this situation. If he says in one of this videos that the prodigal son does not apply to the discussion, I completely disagree. Jesus saved me and don't anyone try to take that from me. Don't under any circumstances attempt to make this a works-based salvation.
I completely failed in a works-based salvation but served my Lord in freedom for forty-some years after receiving this knowledge of truth. I am now on hold a little but awaiting my next orders. Gregory, relax. You do not need to worry. Do not allow bondage to overtake you.
All believers are saved and all unbelievers are lost. That is the Gospel. Jesus promised us that if we believed in Him, heaven is guaranteed.
It's His promise. Who is brave enough out there to call Him a liar. All believers are eternally saved. I agree with you, Amanda, on your position on sin and the effect it has on the believer.
I do not think, however, that we should ever allow sin to cause us to feel we are separated from God. We are not separated. We are sorry that we failed, but He is still our Father. His chastening will always remind us of that.
I am enjoying eveyones impute here, keep it up Y'all. Good stuff. I do like Tim, but don't agree with all he states and I appreciate Roy and Amanda's posts that sort through his teachings. I believe his zeal and passion for God are from God and his teachings are for the most very sound. But again thanks Amanda and Roy for looking at this in a deeper way. I just got back from helping my wife clean a portion of my son's church. They have stations and we have been given station 2.
She and I finished our job it takes about four hours a week and then we just walked away. We do not need to worry about anything. What a blessing that was. I say, "invest in your children. It will pay off. I am grateful for you all.
You are such a blessing. The Word is important to you all and this site is right on. I think there are better teachers out there. That is my take. When a person questions someone's salvation simply because of a position on dispensationalism, I think he might be a little arrogant. God will work on him. He appears to be sincere. I think it is dangerous to take the position that one must agree with me if they are to be saved.
Give him twenty years. He might come to believe there are more saved than he thinks. God had to straighten out Elijah on that one. Sign In. Click here to learn more.
The combination of smoke, fire, loud sounds, and a command to not even touch the mountain was intimidating even to Moses Deuteronomy That, as it turns out, was part of the point of the entire incident. Like the old covenant itself, God's introduction of His law was meant to foreshadow a better, more complete arrangement later on: the new covenant in Jesus Christ. The mention of Moses here helps to tie some of these different ideas together. This verse should make a really consider our ease in purposefully sinning and the consequences it brings, and the truth that it reveals about us.
And even if we are convinced that we truly give evidence of genuine conversion, the simply violence that is promised toward those who blatantly sin should be enough to examine our hearts. Apostasy is when one with a full knowledge of Christianity, turns from it. Look at the characteristics of those who fit the apostate mold: they trample Jesus underfoot, count the blood as common, and insult the Spirit of Grace.
So they are taking the greatest Treasure in the world, and spitting on it, and declaring it contemptible. Counting the blood of the covenant common means that after having evaluating the blood of Christ as a saving measure, decided that there is nothing special about it, and deemed it unworthy and unable to save, and unfit for sacrifice spotted rather than spotless. After the Spirit speaks to them, they have judged Him a liar. This is very much akin to the unpardonable sin of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
Basically they have understood, but rejected the good news of Christ. And it is a fate worse than physical death. John , 1 John , Heb ,. Illustration: Steve from the Grace to You program who after 10 years of full-time ministry had written in for them to remove him off the mailing list because the trinity were nothing but fables, and now he is living in the real world. When done is love and compassion, confrontation of one of the kindest things you can do for another person. A refusal to confront when needed is one of the most selfish things that you can do.
This is a truth that scares us for our future, but more so for those in our circle of family and friends. Each one of us can probably name someone that you know, who exhibited some initial evidence of change or commitment in their life upon making a profession of faith, but today is not walking with the Lord. This begs for an explanation. Although many groups have gone to this theology based on experience rather than bible.
So we must seek diligently to recover the apostates! We must warn those who seem to be headed down that road. Scriptures: 1 John , Hebrews , John Back to the Basics. The Best Christmas Ever. The Always God. The Prince of Peace. Exposition of Hebrews 10 regarding the warning against apostasy, and the fear that God instills.
There are three truths to fear.
