How do you know if one is an Unbeliever or a struggling saint?

And how do you know who a believer is since you have not seen the end of their life yet, to witness if they endured till the end, and did not depart from the faith?

The Holy Spirit never throws out the Scriptures. If one is truly walking in the Spirit then he does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceededth from the mouth of God. Jesus and the Apostles knew the Scriptures and constantly referred to them, but at the same time they never...

So NetChap, So, Netchap, What is your status right now, this very minute? Are you saved or would you characterize your status as "being saved"? Axe

Edward Snowden for President! He displays qualities a President should have. Caring more for the American people, truth and the rule of law than his own life. Those are supposed to be the qualities of a great leader (Commander in Chief).

Why do we play "gymnastics" with the Word? Seems clear to me. "Fall away from grace", "have your faith shipwrecked", "stop abiding in Christ", "depart from the faith", "become lukewarm and spit out of the body of Christ", etc. etc. What is it about these thoughts that are so difficult to...

Why does Paul plead with the Saints to sin not, rather than believing they are Unbelievers who need to get saved in the first place? Why does Paul weep with tears over the Saints who are caught up in sin. Shouldn't he relax and just assume they are unbelievers and preach the Gospel to them...

What was the purpose of worrying about this on Paul's part? Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Why would he weep for these? Php 3:18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping...

Then why warn? That doesn't make sense. Why warn those who won't come back. What is the warning for? And if the truly regenerated WILL COME BACK, then the warnings are superfluous and a waste of time, since it is a given that they come back. Look at the shadows and types in the OT. Many were...

Paul, chose to bring his will into harmony with God's will. We are to come into agreement with God's will as it is progressively revealed to us. God does not obliterate our will, just as He does not remove our mind and emotions. The Spirit of God by His Word stabilizes our emotions, renews our...

What is it you are objecting to? To be an effective counselor and brother for someone "in need", one must hear the voice of the Spirit for that person. Ten people with the same stronghold in them, came by it 10 different ways and may have 10 different roots that need to be dealt with. One must...

I'll take freedom. “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” ”Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither.” ”He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security.”...

Why is the Church constantly warned to not turn back or harden their hearts? Not making us choose Him. But encouraging us to choose Him. We are to respond to His love, though some grow weary of the trials and tribulations and shrink back and grow bitter. Some backslide and come back and some...

Of course all glory and honor go to Him for His power within us, which we must also yield to. We still have freedom of choice and many turn back because the road is too "hard". That is why we are called to encourage each other and so much the more as we see the day approaching. We must keep...

His life is our life if we choose to receive and abide in it daily. We must turn away from all that is not of Him and stay turned toward Him all day (listening ears, seeing eyes and a heart willing to obey). Nothing passive about "Being still and know I am God". There is nothing passive...

Abiding in Christ is inquiring of His will and yielding to it. It is also yielding to His work in your heart and receiving (not rejecting) His ways and His grace working in you. We received Christ and we keep receiving Christ (making ourselves available to Him). Rom_6:13 Neither yield ye your...

It is amazing that we can communicate with God who is outside of time, but that is because He is omnipresent. And we do have His Spirit which is not confined to the parameters of time as our physical bodies are. We are eternal beings communing with an eternal God.

We love God by walking in the Spirit and obeying His voice to us PERSONALLY. This is how we know Him and He knows us. That word "know" is speaking of an "intimate relationship" with Him, for even the demons "know of" Him (but they do not DO HIS WILL, which is knowing Him intimately)...

You are welcome. The best thing I have ever read on the book of Revelation (and I have read many of the views) is found here. Jesus: Victor over Religion I believe you will find it very interesting and you will also find yourself agreeing with much of it. Axehead

Praying for you, Laid. Jesus is able to break every yoke and set us free from the things that bind us. Keep looking to Him and crying out to Him, your deliverance is coming. The Spirit of God tells us "not to give place to the Devil". Let me ask you if you have given place to him maybe by not...
