    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    I normally do not respond to such comments that have no scriptural references at all, but merely slander and accusations (i.e., "ad hominem attacks"), and we all know where this comes from. Not only that, I can easily discern that you are too prideful to admit that you cannot possibly be wrong...

    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    "Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election [SURE]: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." (2 Peter 1:10-11) "And all...

    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    This makes me wonder if such people who deny the Power of God and His Divine Attributes even have a Saving Relationship with Him at all; this boggles my mind that self-professed Christians have ABSOLUTELY NO CONFIDENCE [in Him] at all; such men and women are more than likely self-deceived about...

    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; [yet not I] (i.e., "your former unregenerate self"), but [Christ liveth in me]: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who [loved] me, and [gave] himself for me." (Galatians 2:20) Th Word of God says...

    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    I don't understand how he can use a $100 bill as an analogy when comparing it to Eternal Life, which is [priceless] by the way. The text deals specifically with not falling into Judgment, or [not] falling into [condemnation] -- which is a STATE OF BEING (which the writer AGREES with); therefore...

    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    In Closing: We've all recalled Biblical scholars (i.e., BOTH Old and the New Testament) who disagree on whether Salvation can Truly be lost; and I have concluded that the plethora of varying interpretations and views are the result of their personal opinions, feelings, or beliefs. The danger...

    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    [The danger of neglecting a self-examination of your spiritual condition]: "And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and [SEETH ABRAHAM AFAR OFF]...

    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    Do not get the wrong idea that the list aforementioned above precedes Salvation; they are traits or fruits that accompany Genuine Salvation (Matt. 7:20; Jn. 10:27-29; Gal. 5:22-23; Heb. 6:9-12; Jas. 2:17-18; 1 Jn. 2:3-5; 3:14; 5:4). Worshipping God is not a weekend social gathering; Christians...

    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    [Signs of a True Christian]: "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. [By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments]. For this is the love of...

    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    "And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have [ONE SHEEP], and if it [FALL INTO A PIT] on the sabbath day, will he not [LAY HOLD ON IT, AND LIFT IT OUT]? How much then is a [MAN BETTER THAN A SHEEP?] Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days." (Matthew...

    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    The First Scenario: Faith is analogous of being [offered] a gift, and making the decision to [accept] this free gift is compared to man's right response to God's Grace by faith, which leads to Salvation. This most often used analogy has some serious errors when applicable to Salvation, and even...

    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    Do not put the cart before the horse; any attempt to be justified by your good works or the keeping of the law will lead to an immoral lifestyle, and this is an insult to the Spirit of Grace: Christian's do not keep the Commandments of God in order to [be] saved, but because they [are] saved –...

    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    Knowing this makes me drop to my knees and SHOUT OUT to the Lord with HIGH PRAISES, and forever REJOICING by always giving thanks to Him for my Salvation. The Richness of God's Grace, Forgiveness, and Mercy abounds when we see ourselves for who we TRULY are before the Most Holy God: wretched...

    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    As I have written in the past; since all have sinned, and that there is NONE GOOD, no one has any right to question why God would allow for the death of "innocent" people (i.e., "men, women, and children"). We are ALL [born] sinners; whether you were born five years ago, or five seconds ago; all...

    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    As stated already, God's Holiness is often underestimated; and to challenge God and His Righteous acts is to place yourself above His Moral standards. We find another example in Holy Scripture where God's Sovereignty is questioned in the passage cited above; here we learn that man's BEST effort...

    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    I'll juxtapose these two events (i.e., "Sodom and Gomorrah and the Two Towers"), and then we can ask ourselves if God is Holy and Righteous, or if He is somehow "unfair" and even "cruel" in allowing these disasters to have occurred. Number of deaths on September 11th: 2,996 Number of injuries...

    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    The reason why I asked these question is to find out whether you Truly understand God's Holiness and man's wretchedness, because MOST "professing" Christians do not. There are MANY Divine Attributes of God (e.g., "Holiness, Mercy, Love, Immutability, Grace, Sovereignty, Righteousness...

    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    I will now move on from the introduction of this message to discuss the most vital issue in the life of every man and women who are alive now, and will be alive in the years to come ahead. That being said: By the time this discussion reaches its climax at the very end of this topic, my readers...

    Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not?

    Hello Family of God, "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. To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, [RESERVED IN...
