    Once Saved Always Saved

    Being cleansed by the blood of Jesus is a continual process according to the Greek verb tense in 1 John 1:7...."He continually cleanseth us from all sin." This comes as the result of walking in the light as He is in the light (again, 1 John 1:7). If we cease to walk in the light, it should be...

    Biblical Salvation

    What passages say specifically that water doesn't save us? If there were any, they would contradict what we find in 1 Peter 3:20-21... 1Pe 3:20, Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is...

    Once Saved Always Saved

    Job 28:20, Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding? Job 28:21, Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air. Job 28:22, Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears. Job 28:23, God understandeth the...

    What If

    There would have been no evidence that Jesus' death on the Cross satisfied the wrath of the Lord on our behalf, if Jesus had not risen from the dead. Jesus would have been just another man who died on a cross. The empty tomb is the thing that reveals to the world that Jesus was and is the Son...

    Biblical Salvation

    Nevertheless the kjv is accurate in teaching, by saying that they were sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise after that they believed, in that it teaches that being sealed with the Holy Spirit is the result of believing. It is indeed taught in this passage that remission of sins takes place as...

    Once Saved Always Saved

    God gets glory when people live the way that He has told them to live... When Christians actually live the gospel, God gets the glory... Not so much when Christians live like hypocrites. When they do so, they drag His name through the mud... So, the question is, does the Christian who has...

    Once Saved Always Saved

    Actually, if someone has the gift of "discerning of spirits" they can tell the difference. They are most often called on by the Lord not to point the finger but to pray. I encourage everyone to ask the Lord for that spiritual gift...for it is a good one. I have it myself.

    Once Saved Always Saved

    Technically, that is not a completely true statement. Someone might ask the Father to save them apart from faith in Jesus Christ or calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ; and in such an instance they will not be saved although they asked to be saved. Jesus is the way and the truth and...

    “ Ammo” for Christians vs.Religionists...How to Shut Them Up With Three Songs

    Whatever needed to be changed has been changed. Demons do not remind me of my sins; but it is the Holy Spirit's job to pinpoint my sins to me as I walk in the light as He is in the light; so that I can confess them and be cleansed from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:7-9).

    Once Saved Always Saved

    You are also hostile to the truth that we find in holy scripture (such as in verses like Matthew 13:41-42, Matthew 7:23, Matthew 25:41; Matthew 1:21, Titus 2:14; Ezekiel 33:19 and its context in Ezekiel 33:11-20; Luke 13:1-5; Romans 6; Galatians 5:19-21; and more).

    Once Saved Always Saved

    It helps to make the journey to Mt. Sinai first so that you can know to never return to the law as a means of being saved. Visiting Mt. Sinai means having the law be brought to bear upon your heart as a schoolmaster to lead you to Christ. But of course there is only salvation in Mt. Zion. Mt...

    Once Saved Always Saved

    Those who have a nominal, lukewarm, or shallow faith (or mere mental assent to the tenets of the gospel); but not a heart faith that is unto righteousness (Romans 10:10) and enduring to the end (Matthew 10:22, Hebrews 3:6, Hebrews 3:14): don't have everlasting life. They are saved (from sin and...

    Theories of the Atonement

    You did not make your answer with any kind of scripture. And I wanted to clarify what your belief is. Be clear with a yes or no... Do you believe that Jesus only died for the penalty of sins but not the power and practice of them? Because if you do, then saying so is not an answer....at...

    If that is what you have received from my post, who am I to argue? Others might receive an entirely different message from the same words.

    Hope!! Do you have Hope? Hope in What?

    Hope in Christ and what He has done for me on the Cross.

    Theories of the Atonement

    So, you are of the opinion that Jesus only died to redeem us from the penalty of sins. Personally, I believe that He also came and died to redeem us from their power and practice (Matthew 1:21, Titus 2:14-15). We do not have to obey the dictates of our flesh (Romans 8:12-13).

    “ Ammo” for Christians vs.Religionists...How to Shut Them Up With Three Songs

    I also may have encountered tachyon energy while on the earth and it may have had the effect for a moment of making me like the time traveler's wife's husband. But I have no evidence of this other than that it is what I thought I was experiencing at one point. And that is not any kind of...

    “ Ammo” for Christians vs.Religionists...How to Shut Them Up With Three Songs

    No, I have not traveled through time personally with any time machine; but I believe that the technology exists or will exist. And that when it is invented, it will be used to send a number of things that I have authored to the black market in Mexico where it will be picked up (in the past, in...

    Once Saved Always Saved

    Actually, if you look up the word "charis" in the Greek, the terminnology of "unearned" or "unmerited" is not in there. Grace is simple favour. It may in fact be true that we do not deserve the grace that changes us; however once grace has changed us, we begin to deserve the heaven that the...
