    5 of the more obvious passages about losing salvation

    Anyone who takes the mark of the beast will be thrown into the lake of fire Revelation 14:9-11 … “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength...

    Is your pastor deceiving you, or is he just ignorant?

    Sorry, there ARE many passages written to the churches (and you) that warn of ... losing eternal life gaining eternal death not entering into the kingdom of God (heaven) etc.

    We must be born again to be God's kingdom.

    Tom55, Romans 12:1 ... "There is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus" IMO, born-again Christians who are involved in habitual unrepentant sinning are NO longer "in Christ".

    We must be born again to be God's kingdom.

    8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. So, God sends the unsaved to hell for doing these things. And, God sends the saved to...

    We must be born again to be God's kingdom.

    The ATP ... Revelation 21: 7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and...

    We must be born again to be God's kingdom.

    Sorry, but your best is ridiculous! The habitual unrepentant born-again believer ... is separated from the love of God as far as salvation is concerned! Perhaps the cause of your confusion is that you're readin' the Nearly Inspired Version.

    We must be born again to be God's kingdom.

    There are at least 4 NT passages which clearly teach that habitual unrepentant sinners cannot enter the kingdom of God. Born-again believers can easily be in this sinning group! See that you are not.

    The In Christ Doctrine

    "I also believe that we are placed ""in Christ"" by God. It is an operation (baptism) of the Holy Spirit (God)." Are you referring to the baptism with the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence (proof of receiving it) of speaking in tongues?

    Is your pastor deceiving you, or is he just ignorant?

    Yes, this could very well indeed be the proper explanation of what is going on in the churches. And let's not forget that this is a colossal battle between GOOD and EVIL ... GOOD the new nature the indwelling Holy Spirit the Holy Scriptures God's still small voice EVIL Satan and his demons...

    Is your pastor deceiving you, or is he just ignorant?

    Please see the end of Gal 1 and then Gal 2 ... 3 + 14 = 17. Yes, the Lord purposely "somewhat hid" the warnings. I would like to explain ... Why the many dire warnings were so craftily written in the NT Why they were so mixed in with edifications, etc. to the churches Why they do not stand out...

    Is your pastor deceiving you, or is he just ignorant?

    Requested enlightenment (from lots of experience on Christian forums!) ... Paul evidently was taught by Jesus over a 17-year period how He wished him to write to the churches, which was: The dire warnings of losing salvation were to be very tactfully mixed in with copious amounts of popular...

    Is your pastor deceiving you, or is he just ignorant?

    You're kidding, of course. Not 1 American believer in 100 understand what Paul is really saying in Romans 6. You really should read (and understand, comprehend) romans 6. He is warning: If you continue sinning, you have gained eternal death.

    Is your pastor deceiving you, or is he just ignorant?

    Yes, Jesus is coming back for a holy church. Overcoming is necessary (Revelation 2-3) ... overcoming sin, Satan, the world, etc. Rev 3:21 <<< one must overcome as Jesus also overcame! You have no excuse ... because ... you have been given a new nature PLUS the precious indwelling Holy Spirit...

    Is your pastor deceiving you, or is he just ignorant?

    The more I study the NT the more WARNINGS I see, but all the while … most pastors are preaching GRACE! Most of the NT was written to born-again Christians in the churches, so many warnings were written to YOU (if indeed you are born-again). However, most believers today are blind to them (for...
