    How to be shut out of the kingdom of heaven/God

    Salvation comes through a co-operative effort on the part of God and man. Man's part includes forsaking habitual (unrepentant) sin, and ... enduring belief/faith + enduring trust + enduring obedience! Anyone ever hear of walking through that narrow door and down that narrow path? .

    How to be shut out of the kingdom of heaven/God

    I have been watching (on YouTube) testimonies of people who have gone to hell and returned. And it appears that you are correct! We need to figure out just what all the sins are that we need to NOT do, or repent of, etc.

    Be Rapture Ready Or Be Left Behind!! Your Choice!!

    Curious. Have you been born-again? Those who are (still) righteous are practicing righteousness (1 John 3:7-10). And there are dozens of other similar warning verses, which you ignore and reject ... is that correct? Continuing sincere repentance of your sins is necessary to wipe away these sins!

    Be Rapture Ready Or Be Left Behind!! Your Choice!!

    Well, we have the falling away ... a great falling away! Caused mostly by these 2 false doctrines: (1) eternal security, OSAS (2) habitual (unrepentant) sinning is okay Because of these satanic doctrines, many BACs are in hell, and many more will also be going there! Of course, you know that...

    What is a Christian?

    I am saying the truth coming from me is NT Scriptures. I am saying that people who don't like those Scriptures have very troubling reasons for not liking those Scriptures. If you would like hope for yourself ... just ask and I will tell you what you need to hear and understand and do. Jesus...

    IMO, you are looking for excuses to ignore and/or reject God's warnings.

    What is a Christian?

    Yes, indeed, you have missed it ... Revelation 21:7-8 "He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. BUT the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which...

    How to be shut out of the kingdom of heaven/God

    IMO, this is a tad cut and dry with no room for error, etc. IMO, it is more about having an acceptable heart attitude before the Lord. IMO, it is more about striving to obey Jesus and not about absolute perfection. Yes, Jesus calls us to be perfect, but does He mean we have to be perfect...

    What is a Christian?

    An evangelist preaches the Truth in the hope it might save someone. BACs involved in habitual (unrepentant) sin are condemned to hell ... unless they see the light re: their folly ... and sincerely repent. Why do you think that is? Because the NT says so, even promises so, even threatens so!

    Be Rapture Ready Or Be Left Behind!! Your Choice!!

    Several of God's prophets/watchmen/watchwomen have been saying that ... only God's "firstfruits" (those who have managed to be sanctified unto holiness) will be taken up prior to the great tribulation of the antichrist. The rest of His BACs will indeed have to go through the tribulation. And...

    What is a Christian?

    FYI, the vast majority in N.A. churches are involved in habitual (unrepentant) sin! Which means they are NO longer righteous in the eyes of God, and are NOT headed for heaven! How many dozens of dire warnings in the NT would you like to see? One of my favs is Revelation 21:7-8, which applies to...

    What is a Christian?

    Hereby lies an improved version (hopefully) of post #39 ... Believe it or not ... the NT teaches us: True saving faith = deep enduring heart belief + deep enduring trust + enduring obedience Please note: "obedient to the faith" (NKJV) in Acts 6:7 and Romans 1:5 and Romans 16:26. Anyone care...

    Are there some verses that you don't agree with?

    What is a Christian?

    Yes, absolutely true! But, to qualify one must (1) love God, and (2) be called according to His purpose! Please note that 4 times in John 14, Jesus said ... "those who love me will keep (obey) My commandments!

    What is a Christian?

    Believe it or not ... the NT teaches us: True saving faith = deep enduring heart belief + deep enduring trust + enduring obedience There is no one word (in any language) which encompasses everything that this word "believe" means. Some Greek words can up to 40 different meanings, depending on...

    The fate of BACs who fail to remain “in Christ”

    Who cares what you see? You should care about what Scripture says! The "such people" you say were never born again are defined as: "EVERY BRANCH OF MINE" (John 15:2) .

    The fate of BACs who fail to remain “in Christ”

    It is much more than that. What do YOU do with the 2 dozen NT verses which threaten: - losing eternal life - gaining eternal death (i.e. hell, the Lake of Fire, etc.) - being shut out of the kingdom of heaven/God - being blotted out of the Book of Life - being shut out of the New Jerusalem

    How to be shut out of the kingdom of heaven/God

    Matthew 7:21-23 (NKJV) “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord’, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your...
