Paul warns us over and over, that if we believers choose to walk after the flesh, we will die spiritually - but if we choose to walk after the spirit, we will have everlasting life:
Paul warns above, that having a carnal mind is ENMITY against God, meaning you actually become Gods ENEMY.
Also, Paul warns the church at Corinth to make sure they aren’t reprobates.
He warns that some of the church that think they’re in the faith can actually have become reprobates.
Scripture clearly in fact shows that continuing to remain in Christ is conditional ...
FALSE.
There IS A
HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN:
Being "WITH" Christ.
and
Being "WITHIN" Christ.
Learn the Scriptural TRUTH -
* Hearing, following, mindful believing, attending church, having a water baptism, calling yourself a believer, calling yourself a Christian.....
DO NOT IDENTIFY YOU AS SAVED
It expressly "identifies you"
As one WHO IS BEING Enlightened.
As one WHO is TASTING the Word of God.
As one WHO is Experiencing the Holy Spirit. ...........
WITH you.
Absolutely PAUL WARNED repeatedly....
Do not get Comfortable with the Holy Spirit being "only WITH" you.
BECAUSE at ANY TIME...
"you" can be influenced by any thing, any one...
And "you" CAN fall away.
* Jesus Expressly TAUGHT;
YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN.
- hearing, going to church, calling yourself a believer, blah, blah....
IS NOT HOW one BECOMES BORN AGAIN
* Mans Forgiveness, soul saving, spirit quickened.......IS EXPRESSLY CONVERSION WORKS of the Lord God....
* EFFECTED ONLY AFTER, a mans CONFESSION of True Heartful Belief.
There ARE thousands mindfully believing, attending churches, testifying, calling themselves Christians....
WHO ARE NOT "CONVERTED"
Paul warned them (WHO ARE NOT CONVERTED) to "NOT PUT OFF" becoming CONVERTED.....so ALSO should you WARN people who ARE NOT CONVERTED....
BECAUSE THEY ARE AT RISK (of dying at any moment) and end up "WITH" the damned.
INSTEAD...YOU "preach" a man "WITH" the Lord God..."IS" Saved...AND "IS" in jeopardy of Losing SALVATION "he HAS RECEIVED".
^^^^^^^^^
FALSE ^^^^^^^^^^
A man
WITH the Lord....
IS ALWAYS AT RISK OF FALLING AWAY.
Because he is "NOT IN" the Lord.
And IS NOT SAVED or BORN AGAIN.
(OSAS; IS NOT applicable to that man)
A man
WITH AND IN
IS NEVER AT RISK OF FALLING AWAY.
Because he IS EXPRESSLY "WITHIN" the Lord.
And that man IS SAVED and IS BORN AGAIN.
(OSAS; IS precisely applicable to ^ that man)
FALSE.
Glory to God, True and Faithful IS His Word, and His works, Converting men Once and Forever.
