In Matthew 24:12, Jesus speaking about the last days did say, "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." Sinners that never were born again were always cold so Jesus is not speaking about them.

1 Timothy 4:1
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils”

Depart from the faith is speaking about people that got born again and were walking in faith until the departed from believing on the Lord Jesus because they started following seducing spirits embracing doctrines of devils.

Sinners that never were born again never were in the faith to begin with so the Lord is speaking about them in 1 Timothy 4:1.




It's the eternal security folks, the so called once saved always saved folks that will come at you for suggesting anything we do has any bearing on our salvation one way or the other. These are the clouds without water spoken about in 2 Peter 2
You are assuming the very thing that needs to be proved. Matthew 24:12 says the love of many will wax cold, but it never says those people were born again and then lost salvation.

The same is true of 1 Timothy 4:1. “Depart from the faith” certainly describes apostasy from professed faith and truth, but the verse does not say they had been born again and then became spiritually unborn.

That is why Matthew 7:23 matters. Jesus does not tell those people, “I knew you once.” He says, “I never knew you.”

And Scripture itself distinguishes between being among believers and actually belonging to Christ: “They went out from us, but they were not of us” (1 John 2:19).

We need to let the passages say what they actually say instead of adding “born again and then lost salvation” when the text never says that.

The USA had better wake up before it is too late. But it not looking like they will unbury their heads from the sand.





It seems you don't understand Muslims. The West has devastated their regions with war. The so-called terrorists you see are just a small fraction, while the majority of Muslims will choose to immigrate to your countries, and then comes the current situation.

God is using the US to FIGHT for Israel. And He will continue!

**This is simply Satan's logic. It seems you don't understand the Word of God, nor do you understand what Satan actually is.**


**This is nothing short of Satanic reasoning. It seems you neither understand the Word of God, nor do you understand what Satan really is.**

A lot of people seem to think this is all a moot point because they claim once a person gets born again it matters not how they live whether they walk with the Lord or not because they claim it's never possible for anybody to lose their salvation so they would have a big yawn when anyone tries to tell them about warnings from the Lord.

I hear this often, but in all the years that I have been a Christian, I have never known one who professes to be born again saying it does not matter how we live in this world. Not because they are eternally secure in Christ, but because they listen to and heed the Spirit of Christ working in them.

How ironic! Guess where Jesus will return! It's called ISRAEL, in the Land of the Bible! They're home to stay.

Zechariah 14:1-4
1 Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, ...
2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; ...
3 Then the LORD will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the day of battle.
4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east.

Someone here stated, "If I died when I didn’t believe I would have gone to Heaven because there was One Time That I DID Believe.....that’s all it takes...."

When one dies in unbelief there is no longer any hope for them. Clearly, saying one in unbelief can be saved because before they were in unbelief they believed in Christ, proves they were never born again through the Spirit of Christ in them. Because one who has been born again through the Spirit of Christ is eternally secure forever, because the Spirit will be with whosoever has been born again forever. Born-again Christians are "kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation."

John 14:16 (KJV) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Eph 1:13
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Eph 1:14
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

1Pe 1:3 ¶ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1Pe 1:4
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
1Pe 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Even if Jesus Christ will return to the land which you think about, does not mean that human beings do something right on the earth.

Well, if you support muslim terrorism then you are simply following Satan's logical answer to overthrow the US Constitution!!!

Shariah law allows men/husbands to beat their wives and children.
But they are merciful as they do not allow to break their bones!

That is why Matthew 7:23 matters. Jesus does not tell those people, “I knew you once.” He says, “I never knew you.”

When a righteous person turns away from their righteousness and commits sin, all their righteous deeds will not be remembered, and they will die for their sins. This is stated in Ezekiel 18:21-28

This is why Jesus tells some "I never knew you"

Remember, the Lord gave us His righteousness to walk in (abiding in Christ) and some turn away from the Lord
2 Timothy 2:12 - If we deny Him, He also will deny us



We need to let the passages say what they actually say instead of adding “born again and then lost salvation” when the text never says that.

We need to not be cherry pickers and accept all the Lord says in His Word.
A person cannot depart from the faith if they had never gotten born again which is how one enters the faith.

Playing word games is what is causing the little ones to stumble (young Christians and immature believers)

In Matthew 18:6 and Luke 17:2 Jesus says it would be better for someone to have a millstone hung around their neck and be drowned in the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble or sin.

The USA had better wake up before it is too late.

It's already too late. The US is going darker with each passing day as is the entire world.

This is all leading to the coming one world government and it's one world leader.
People can vote in all the elections they want, but it will not stop the inevitable.

The US is no different from any of the other empires across history. They all eventually fall.

Here's one that's also speaking of Christians being able to lose their salvation:

1 Corinthians 11:31,32
For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

Very few are willing to judge themselves honesty before the Lord so they won't be be condemned with the world.

Judging yourself is opening one's self to receiving the chastisement and correction of the Lord (we should ask for this!) so we won't be be condemned with the world. If we reject His correction and refuse to repent then we get this:

Proverbs 1:20-33
Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

This is being turned over to a reprobate mind, and as such a person such as this is no longer on the narrow path that leads to life as they are now on the wide path that leads to eternity in hell.

It's sad too because all they had to do is love the Lord more than their sin and repent to go back to Him.
It's always very odd to hear people claiming a person such as this is still saved and claiming this helps people decide to continue in their sin ignoring the wisdom of the Lord. In the end they love their sin before the Lord.

China has about 25 million Muslims. They surely don't lie and say they are Christians, do they? To attack Christians and Israel?
