Do you interpret Jesus words the same as Paul's ?Ill chime in also, and so will Bro Marks, im sure.
Notice the context of the verse, Christophany.
"in THE faith"
"THE"....
This means the correct one.......not a wrong one..
Make sure you are not trying to STAY SAVED.........as then your faith is broken., and is no longer "THE" Faith.
Notice that JUDE says....>"contend for the REAL FAITH".
(Read Jude, its a great epistle ).
Jude's "REAL" faith............ that is Paul's "THE". Faith.
See it?
Both are explaining that a believer can "fall from GRACE" into "the flesh".....= LEGALISM.
And that is the wrong faith........as its not "THE" faith... anymore they are trusting.
How do you spot those who have left "THE " faith?
= They will teach that you have to WORK to stay saved, or that God only saved you because you agree to do works and be good and so forth.
This is "self saving"....Theology, that is CROSS DENYING heresy.
Its the same broken faith that teaches that "you can lose your salvation" as that again is teaching that Jesus somehow FAILED and now you have to save yourself by doing this, and keeping that, and making sure you dont....... etc.
Matthew 7:19
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
John 15:2
He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, and every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes to make it even more fruitful
John 15:5-8
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
