Which is contrary to Scripture. We are told: “...We are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end.” (Hebrews 3:13-14). "Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life." (Jude 1:21). "...be...

Grace, peace, and love to you in the name of Jesus Christ. In more detail: I believe the Bible teaches that there is an Any-Time Rapture and a secondary event in the middle of the tribulation that is the gathering up of the saints by angels. So the Scripture you provided is describing this...

Anyways, my answer would be Jesus. That is who I would want on the island with me.

Update: I had to remove these videos from Alan Ballou (that I posted before). While I liked Alan Ballou’s videos before on Sanctification and putting away sin and they were really helpful, the problem is he is a false accuser of the brethren. In the YouTube comment section in this video...

Sorry. My deepest apologies. I did not fully read your OP. I got the wrong impression by reading your OP too fast. I thought you were saying that others would tell you “salvation lost” or “faith lost.” I thought you were fighting against those believers or Christians who believe the Bible’s...

What is your interpretation on 1 John 1:8? Do you believe Jesus takes away your future sin because of a belief in Jesus as your Savior? If you are not for Belief Alone Salvationism then how do you view salvation?

By your OP I get the impression like you believe like the majority of Christians who hold to Belief Alone Salvationism. For example: Do you believe that 1 John 1:8 is basically saying that you will always sin this side of Heaven?

Romans appears to say that those who do particular sins are worthy of death to not only those who had pleasure in these sins but to simply those who do them. Romans 1:31-32 31 “Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the...

I believe the fruits of the Spirit only apply to those believers who are not seeking to downplay the fear of God or how sin can destroy our souls. Perfect love casts out fear is in regards to how we perfect the love of God by obeying Him. A belief alone in Jesus with no real change in our life...

It has nothing to do with being better. It has to do with believing the Bible. The New Testament talks about Jesus warning us about how sin can destroy our bodies and the New Testament talks about the fear of God and it talks about falling away. But you don’t like those things in your New...

Not sure why you are highlighting a verse that I posted out you and you are repeating it as if I did not agree with it.

Sorry. It still doesn’t sound like you believe Philippians 2:12 in that you need to fear God in working out your salvation. Your attitude in the OP is contrary to Philippians 2:12. It sounds like you are trying to explain away Philippians 2:12 because you don’t like what it says. I don’t...

You are ignoring what I just said. I said you seek FIRST the kingdom of God and his righteousness…. Then the basic needs will be met.

If we warn other believers to obey God or they will perish this is not a message that they will fail. Granted, a person who is overly concerned with the basic needs to the point of paranoia is not healthy, but I would rather have a person who kept me alive even if they were a little overly...

Also, warning others to obey or they will perish is not a message that they will fail. Telling others that they need to have food and water to survive on an island are not being irresponsible. If you ever watch any survival show, people have to do certain things to survive in harsh...

In regards to our physical life: If we seek first the kingdom of God, He will provide for our basic needs (See: Matthew 6:33 cf. Matthew 6:25-34). So if one was an island, and they were in fear of dying by not having water or food, then they are not seeking first the Kingdom of God and his...

No offense, I say this in love, but this verse perfectly captures your wrong thinking in the OP, my friend. Isaiah 30:10 says, “…Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:”

Did you even look at the context? My guess is you did not. Lets look at another similar verse. Romans 8:15 “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” Sounds like you are good to go to Heaven and...

Isaiah 55:11 “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”

An answer to the OP: Isaiah 30:10 says, “…Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:”
