Very true. "Faith without works is dead." That doesn't mean that works are a part of salvation, but they are a testimony to others that we have faith and have been saved. If there are no good works, then it's a good possibility that the faith is false, and the person was never saved. God knows...

God does not judge how bad of a sinner we are by what we do. Everyone is a sinner regardless. Yes, He does seem to hate some sins more than others, but that could only because He mentions certain sins--like lying. Those who have repented and turned to Christ will be in heaven. Those who...

I don't believe God classifies sin and puts them in order of how bad they are. No matter what sins we do or don't commit we are all sinners before God and unworthy to stand before Him justified. I thank God that He provided a way to do just that through Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son.

There will be many in heaven that no one thought would be there, and there will be many missing that many thought would be there. Many are trusting in their own goodness and works, yet we are told that "all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags", and "By grace are ye saved through faith, and...

Welcome to the Board.

Welcome to the Board, Breanna.

Your salvation may be based on your goodness and faithfulness, but mine is based on Jesus' goodness and faithfulness and the grace of God. If I had to depend on my faithfulness to get to heaven I 'd be in serious trouble. Jesus did all that was necessary on the cross which is why He said, "It is...

(inhislove76;11916) How can you explain those believers that carry spirits of depression, generational curses, spirits of opression, are these not considered demon possesions, that with deliverance and prayer need to be cast out. Only reason why I question your response is because, I have...

Welcome to the Board, Kaitlin.

(Faithful1;11904) Yes, Jesus calls it asleep until judgment day. Most of us are misinformed by mainstreams that after we die we will be in heaven right away; and it is not biblical.This is my own reasoning that people who are delibrate disobedient to God will not even wake up for judgemnet day...

(inhislove76;11914) I have a friend who heard Thursday of last week on the radio, that Satan needs Gods permission to come into our lives and tempt us.Is this true? Only with believers--not with unbelievers. Satan couldn't do anything to Job without getting God's permission first, and he could...

Welcome to the Board, Nichole.

(inhislove76;11887) Homosexuality is a disease that can be healed. No, it's sin that need to be confessed and forsaken--same as any other sin.

(Tama;11817) What do you mean it can never be taken away once received? We can lose our salvation any day. Our life style can actually cause us to lose salvation and go to Hell.... So God lied when He said that He gives ETERNAL life? It only lasts until you sin? That means most (if not all) of...

Hi Falyne,Welcome to the forums and to the family of God. I'm a 61-year-old grandpa who has been saved for 44 years. I will be happy to answer any questions you have if they're not too difficult since (surprise) I don't know everything.

I have no idea what spets are, but my biggest dream was to become a professional gospel singer. That dream has died--along with other dreams.

It would be interesting to see the offspring.:eek:

Water baptism does not save anyone. It is merely a symbol and a sign to the world that we have chosen to follow Jesus Christ. Going down into the water symbolizes His death, and being raised up out of the water symbolizes His resurrection. Some pastors (at least in Michigan) say as they baptize...

Those who are mentally incapable of understanding are not held responsible. God would not be just in doing that. The time when one understands varies depending on the individual. There is no magic age when everyone becomes enlightened. That's why babies do not need to be baptized in order to go...
