So, if we find you purposely living in the unbelief of your old life a year from now, what does that mean as far as your once saved always saved beliefs? Are you lost or still saved?
•If a person,
is observed by other men; (ex: altar call, water baptism)
•OR
claims to other men he Believes;
•AND
claims he is is Saved;
•"Other men"...can "believe" that man's testimony "as that man's Truth"
•OF;
-Belief,
-Having Established a Relationship with the Lord God,
-Having Been Saved
•OR;
Not.
•Typically;
"Other men", WILL believe the man's testimony.
•Thereafter;
"That man" will be "presumed" (by other men)
•TO BE Saved and Have an Established Relationship with the Lord God.
•That "status", will Continue to be Believed, BY, "other men";
•UNTIL, such time...
•••The "man himself, declares/ testifies to his OWN Disbelief.
•••The "man himself, promotes Disbelief.
Any man, regardless of "title" or "other man's Believed "status"...
IS Simply AN "indication";
Based entirely on the man's Testimony and Behavior.
When the man Testifies himself;
his OWN testimony WAS FALSE, WAS A LIE.
When the man's Own behavior reveals;
he promotes Behaviors Against the Lord God...
Other men WHO Believed the man's FALSE Testimony; NOW KNOW, He Lied, He Never Believed In the Lord God...
Which Reveals; that that man NEVER had an Established Relationship WITH the Lord God, and NEVER received the Gift of Salvation FROM the Lord God.
•A man WHO has NEVER received the Gift of Salvation FROM the Lord God...Has NEVER been ONCE SAVED.
•ONCE SAVED NEVER Applied to that man.
•ONCE SAVED...does NOT APPLY to•any man,
Whose Testimony of Belief IS BASED ON A FALSE Testimony.
•men CAN BE Fooled, BY FALSE TESTIMONY of other men.
•God IS NEVER Fooled. Salvation is an Offering to men.
•ONCE ANY man, Accepts The Lord Gods OFFER...it IS the Lord God Himself WHO searches the man's Truth, in the man's Heart, whether or not the man's Testimony IS TRUE...or NOT!
•Salvation IS NOT given a man Whose Testimony is FALSE!
**What does that mean as far as "what a man believes about ONCE SAVED...ALWAYS SAVED?"
It means SALVATION MUST BE Received, (from the Lord God- For the man Having A TRUE Testimony IN and TO the Lord God) in order for A man to BE Saved.
It DOES NOT mean; (The All Knowing Lord God)...was Tricked into GIVING a man The Lord Gods Gift of Salvation, Based on a man's False Testimony, TO the Lord God, before The Hearing, observances, witnesses...
OF other men!
•Salvation IS a gift from God to Individual men, to Expressly Establish A FOREVER Relationship Between that one Individual and the Lord God.
•What other men, Hear, learn, observe, IS merely "indications" of AN other individuals "Relationship" with or without the Lord God.
I have a personal Relationship with the Lord God.
He Offered me Salvation and I chose to Receive His Offering "ONCE".
•Doesn't matter IF any other man, Believes ME, MY Testimony, MY Gift received from the Lord God.
•Doesn't matter IF other men APPROVE, challenge, make Accusations of MY Relationship with MY Lord God.
• I already KNOW...My Belief and Standing "IN and WITH" the Lord God...is Based ON MY True Testimony... CAN NOT BE Compromised...(BY His Promise TO ME)...Regardless of What Other men, APPROVE, challenge, claim)...
•Because...I already KNOW...there IS NOT ONE Shred of Evidence...of ME Against the Lord God, or Promotion of Being Against the Lord God.
I DO Know men HAVE fooled other men, for a man himself Proporting and Claiming to other men, THAT THEY BELIEVED....for years...Even BEING Pastors, Preachers, Teachers....AND THEN...announcing IT WAS a BIG FAT LONG Corrupted LIE....Because they NEVER Believed, and Don't Believe.
Bottom line...they FOOLED - for years- other men...The did not Fool God.
And NO they never Received Salvation...
Not ONCE...NOT Ever.
You can conduct your own research IN Scripture of WHAT the Lord God Offers, the WAY of HOW to Receive His OFFERINGS, IF and WHEN the OFFER Expires, IF the Lord God GIVES a man a GIFT and THEN "TAKES BACK or VOIDS" the Gift...
OR IF the Lord God GIVES a Gift BASED on FALSE Testimony.
You can also do your own research ON men who claim to have Fooled men with a False Testimony - for years...Because they Never Believed.
Glory to God,
Taken
