    Work out your own Salvation?

    You know you are a liar by accusing me of what you yourself are doing. Delusional. You read the bible and puff yourself up without knowing the One you say people need to believe things about. But you can't know Him...because you would have to let go of all your posturings and become like a...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    LOL My doctrine is apostolic and therefore at odds with the outer man salvation scheme that will see so many rejected on judgment day. Will these be warned? Of course not. These babble on without fear thinking that others are just as in the dark about the bible as they are. Assuming and...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    The sin is assuming you are God's mouthpiece and judge over others. You completely misunderstand the words of the bible. If you understood the bible you would tremble at your lack of actual connection and understanding. You need to see yourself in your own accusations. Hypocrisy blinds you to...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    You believe that there is one God; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble. James 2:19 Your hubris is about virtue signalling...loving to judge and accuse. Makes you feel superior. But the truth is a double edged sword. Watch out as it swings the other way. As you judge so you will be...

    Dead Religion

    While the Bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. That's us, brothers and sisters. What is the difference between one who sleeps from the kingdom life and power, and one who is dead to it? Join us as we explore the biblical perspective in regards to the true state of the modern Church...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    No, but you can become eligible for INHERITING eternal life. Not loving your neighbour as yourself is a sure way to become disqualified before God from entering into heaven. And by heaven I mean the kingdom of God right now. No one goes to heaven AFTER they die. The next age is a New Earth where...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    The bible can only harm those who refuse to heed its warnings. Why are so many rejected who will say...Lord, Lord? It's no wonder at all.

    Work out your own Salvation?

    Your weird religion has caused you to rail against the teachings of Christ. And you misunderstand Paul to the extreme. What you are not used to is a follower and disciple of Christ...having thrown in your lot with a reformation make-over of Paul. But there is NO wisdom in this world or the next...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    A man can be saved from drowning. Is he saved? Yes. Then he gets back to shore and is hit by a semi-truck and dies. Was he saved from drowning? Yes. Jesus said that we should repent unless something worse befalls us...AFTER being saved. A house (soul) that is swept of demons has been delivered...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    Judgment comes AFTER a bodily death. By definition ALL permanent salvation occurs at that time. This is called the final redemption (of the body). But your surmisings are way off and not biblically based. God decides who enters into life in the next age. Men can't judge anything of the sort...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    My ministry toward the church is a spiritual one of casting down imaginations and things that exalt themselves AGAINST the actual knowledge of God. Religious certainty is a faith destroyer. Religious hubris is just pride that God resists and will reject on judgment day. How many have become...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    It is to attain to heaven right now...in fear and trembling...not just name and claim to have something like the smug Laodiceans. Most have no idea of the high calling that is in Christ. No the sample is there as an inward witness that is required for you to SEEK GOD for the full measure of...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    You notions are simplistic in the extreme. Catering to the flesh. Salvation works in time...past, present and future. Inheriting life is not the same as walking in eternal life right now. A man can be rich right now. Another might become rich later as an inheritance...having been previously...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    This episode is not about whether one is saved or not...all who have faith in Christ will indeed be saved. No, this is about the quality of that salvation, whether for glory and honour or else, for shame and dishonour. Do we even care about the outcome of our own spiritual race? What's it going...

    Entering by the Narrow Gate

    Why is that? Why is it more important to convince oneself that one is rich and in need of nothing than to seek the Lord?

    Entering by the Narrow Gate

    For those who are actually born from the Spirit (a LOT fewer than those who claim to be), these can be said to be FROM heaven...not in heaven (unless the person returns to Zion after diligently seeking it from the Lord). So you are espousing a theoretical religious status that has no power over...

    Entering by the Narrow Gate

    That's incorrect. Jesus used the rock and sand analogy as a kingdom principle...building on sand....doing as you do. Building on the rock...working out your salvation with fear and trembling and allowing God to cause you to be a DOER of the word, not just a hearer deceiving yourself. Your...

    Entering by the Narrow Gate

    You are using circular reasoning here. You assume you are already seated in heavenly places because Paul describes that as a reality that is AVAILABLE to us. Laodiceans will name and claim whatever they read that appeals to them. That only works if you understand that an empty lamp that once...

    Entering by the Narrow Gate

    Saints have always come into being in spite of the surrounding church culture. One must always take the path less followed. The way is narrow...and that's after having been permitted entry through the narrow gate, which few can even conceptualize now. The way that is in Christ is very...

    Oh, the irony.
