How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

[Ronald David Bruno]

are we judged on works?

thks

Yes, but for Christians, you are judged for good works and receive rewards based in your contribution. But it is not tied to your salvation. Billy Graham certainly received more rewards than most of us will. My Pastor will.

 

[Ronald David Bruno]

Appeal to Majority.

A lazy man is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who can answer sensibly..Prov. 16:16amq
The majority wouldn't work in Iran, but in Christianity, the doctrine ofnthe Trinity is held by 97%. A doctrine so important, logic would dictate that is we are in fact led by the Holy Spirit, He would not lead most of astray.

Personal attack

Not an attack, just an observation. An ex- Unitarian is obviously not connected to a church congregation and can be described as a lone ranger. Unless you have family and friends who share these beliefs in common. Maybe, but only a 3%
chance they do? So out 50 family members and friends, maybe 1 share your beliefs. Ever think of that, that you the odd ball... or the black sheep the family? And during the holiday get together do you debate or argue your beliefs with them? Or you just keep yours views to yourself. Again you don't have to answer these questions, it's just as numbers go, you aren't going to find many like minded people on the same page.

gal 6:7-7

7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Romans 2:6-7

6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

where does it say only good deeds?

[Wrangler]

Spirit led reading brought me to these verses that don't support certainty:

• 1 Peter 2:2 Grow in salvation
• 1 John 4:17 MAY have confidence (not certainty)

 

[Wrangler]

A man taught it that fear is "awe-ness of God" not a fear of like a Tyrant.

How do you reconcile this interpretation with our Lord telling us to fear the one who can destroy the soul as well as the body?
