    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    Here is the biblical definition of the "last time": And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold...

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    When is it that you consider to be "the last time?"

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    Okay...I will humor you: Choose what ever bible version you prefer, but what is your take away-- How many types of birth are named regarding mankind?

    What will you do at the time of the end?

    Apology accepted.

    What will you do at the time of the end?

    Nice of you to leave me out--so unbecoming. Thanks a lot. But the Lord has not: Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

    Our generation will not die before the rapture and the return of Jesus to earth. PTL

    Awesome! (Young man ;)) In my own considerations, I find it no coincidence that being born in '53, I waited for the Viet Nam war draft wondering what would become of me...and then the month before my birthday--they cancelled the draft! None of us are in control of such things--but God is.

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    No--it is you who have put the two together when the scriptures do not, but in fact state the first birth as one that ought to be obvious, then also stating the other that is not. And since you insist on mixing the two, making a religion out of that which was created only to teach you by...

    What will you do at the time of the end?

    When the end came upon me I cried out to God--that is what I did. And He? He answered, and changed me.

    Our generation will not die before the rapture and the return of Jesus to earth. PTL

    That is an interesting point, one that should be considered. While it is true that "not all are appointed for the same things", it is also true that all are appointed equally by their lot. Meaning that God has not been unfair in His distribution of tribulations--but values each differently than...

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. I am not sure I understand your question...or rather how it is that you do not know that anyone who has been born into this world is already born of water...

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    Good question! Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that...

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    Okay, then go to the dictionary and cross out "knowing", and go to the bible and cross out everything that is "seen." But no--that is foolishness, the two terms are not at all the same. Thus, the example of Thomas who would not believe unless he had seen, and Jesus' explanation of the value of...

    Why no response from God? Please pray

    You're going to die--we all are. I say that, not to scare you or say that it is going to happen soon, but to stop you so you will back up and get perspective. How have you determined that God said the harm would stop? Because the promise of God is not that harm will not come against us in this...

    Salvation is NOT a Process.

    Indeed, there is a lot of confusion with the different terms. "Work out your own salvation" is one such term. When we read that, it would appear as if we could even save ourselves--which simply is not true. Thus, the term is rather a directive which Paul gave because of his "absence." So the...

    Jesus' ASCENSION, and what actually occurred.

    All of your points are full of holes. An example would be your error of saying "Satan can be seen as an angel of light, but not in the flesh", when it is written that Jesus rebuked Satan in the flesh in Peter. But you will not hear, so I leave you to it.

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    That is correct--it is at that point that "believing" becomes "knowing" and "believing" no longer remains...just as the darkness is dispelled by the Light of Christ. Such is salvation.

    Sola Scriptura and early Christians

    I am not for or against "Sola Scriptura", not sure I even fully understand the claim. However, on the subject of what any time in history or generation before God has from Him--it is the providence of God and not of men, regardless of what may be claimed. Just as no man can actually claim to...

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    Matthew 16:25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. "Losing" ones life in this case, is to have laid it down as given completely to Jesus and to God, holding on to nothing yet to be done by the person, for Christ has already done...

    Jesus' ASCENSION, and what actually occurred.

    Enoch111? ...Is that where "you get this stuff?" But you are closer now. It's just that you are missing the point--which is that there were two acts (His resurrection and His ascension) for a reason--because they each represent something different. But don't get me wrong--everything including...
