What do you suppose this means? Rev. 3:5 "Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent."

It's the only way to go! You can commit any sin you like, go and confess to a priest, you are back in the good graces of God! It's a form of Godliness that denies the power of the Cross! But that's the entire Catholic story!

I think I will go with what the apostle Paul said so many times in his letters. Let's see, I will go with this one today. Col. 1:21-23 "And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22 In the body of his flesh through death, to...

The Lord has no pleasure in those who die in their sins, separated from Him for eternity. We should have no pleasure in it either! I understand what you mean by what you are saying, but we should have have no "joy" in those going to hell.

Why do I need to practice my faith?????? I see now why you can't understand!

Those who did as Paul did have overcome. "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith!" We must keep the faith, simple as that!

Your name can be taken out of the Book of Life! We had better keep our eyes on Christ and let nothing take our crown. Rev. 3:15 "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my...

I for one didn't know it got shutdown. I wasn't following it, just made a comment on it and moved on.

"Not open for further replies," I don't think so! When we preached in the streets, parking lots, wherever they would allow us, we passed out gospel tracts with our Church information printed on it. Hundreds of folks came through our Church from those efforts. Of course, the Church you are...

My pastor says quite often that if are not in the fire of the testing of our faith, we just came out or getting ready to go back in. It's God taking us back to the Cross where we found life by faith in Him, depending on Him for everything. If the believer had no testing of the faith, there...

I've done some street preaching of my own. I'm inclined to agree with them about Catholicism. But I never called out any groups, just preached Christ crucified for the sins of the world. Did it once and sometimes twice a week with friends from my church for about 3 years. I can say that we...

Look guys, believe whatever you want, no one is going to hell if we continue to believe. And I know that all of you will continue to believe in our Lord who gave Himself for us! I've just had enough of this, no hard feelings, just tired of repeating myself. So I'm not responding to anything...

We have been showing you dozens of scripture throughout this thread where man has walked away from Christ, no longer believing. The consequences of this willful act is presented in every verse. And you can say, no scripture teaches of no longer believing in Christ?

Oh, but I'm not adding to scripture! If man believes and commits a sin, any sin, he has Jesus as his Advocate to plead his case before God by faith. But if man commits the "willful sin" of no longer believing in Christ, he has forfeited his Advocate and his sins are not covered.

The "willful sin" is not sin that our Advocate can plead on our behalf to the Father, it is not committing sin. It is the sin of apostasy! "Willfully no longer believing in Christ after you have "received the knowledge of the truth." You no longer have faith in Christ and "there remains no...

I know you are not lost, you have repeatedly shown your faith in Christ. I have never said or even hinted that you were lost, you have proven otherwise in your posts!

You have to understand the difference between a backslider and a blasphemer. Your sins will never separate you from God as long as you believe. This is not a license to sin, it was your faith that saved you. You will not want to sin, but you will fail at times. But the one who gives up on...

I think you have seen the truth, but won't admit it!

We are made perfect "in a moment in the twinkling of an eye" the mortal shall put on the immortal, the corruptible must put on incorruption. 1 Corinthians 15:52-53 The sin nature we inherited is gone forever! We will have the glorified body that Christ had at His resurrection.
