    Assurance of salvation.

    not true even when that 119 year old person's body dies, his spirit still lives. the question is will he suffer eternal death (Hell) or eternal life (Heaven)

    Assurance of salvation.

    accept the requirements? That's the issue my friend. There are no requirements you can meet. There is only one requirement, and that is to be perfect, To be without sin. and no one has ever met that requirement that's why no one could be saved by the law. No one could live up to the...

    Assurance of salvation.

    Never heard of this. Did the tax collector fall on his knees and cry out because he was sincere? are you die daily and that's why you think you earn salvation? Not sure what you mean bro. DO not want to misread you. enough of that goes on here.

    yes, that abundant life is talking about here we are all eternal. What is important is where we spend eternity. With God, or with Satan

    Assurance of salvation.

    you first case should say they naver had true saving faith and thus were never saved.. (many think they are saved but are not) your second case would be nonsensical. Because we can not clean ourselves or consecrate ourselves.. If we think we can our faith is in self. and our ability and not God...

    Assurance of salvation.

    actually we have bigger problems if we think God makes promises and does not intend to keep them if this life is all we got. lets eat drink and be merry, Because this is all we have.

    Assurance of salvation.

    amen,, If I do not have salvation now. or at am risk of losing it based on what I do or do not do. I have no hope.. and my faith is misdirected.

    Assurance of salvation.

    this makes even worse sense. If God promised eternal life (I will never die, but will live forever) If God says whoever receives it in faith have it If God through paul says it is the basis of our hope and that pasis is set on Gods promise, and God can not lie If God says our faith and...

    Assurance of salvation.

    We are talking about salvation, eternal life. the gift of God by grace through faith. so not sure what your trying to point brother Salvation can not be earned. If you or I are expecting to earn salvation by , then we are in deep danger. This type of salvation will not be complete until we...

    Assurance of salvation.

    wrong sir. the bible does say we have been saved. eph 2 says we HAVE BEEN saved and are currently saved By Grace Rom 8 says we were saved in this hope 2 timothy 1 says we have been saved titus 3, we have been saved (by his mercy) The bible can not contradict himself. and it has to be taken...

    Assurance of salvation.

    This makes no sense to me.... So SOME have hope. but not all. That does not give ME any hope Jesus said come and he will give you rest. How can I have rest if I have no hope or assurance? How can I claim I have hope in God if my hope is really based on me? (if salvation can be lost. my...

    Assurance of salvation.

    if there are no guarantees, where is our hope? If there is no hope. what is our faith in?

    Error of Once Saved

    By grace ye are saved. Your first argument against eternal salvation is destroyed in your own argument, It does not say by grace are you being saved, By grace you might be saved it says you are saved. Paul uses the same workd in titus. when he said we are not saved by good deeds, but By Gods...

    Is baptismal regeneration biblical

    I think John says it best.. John 1:29-32 32 And John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him. 33 I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him...

    Sin Unto Death

    Because that is what it is Col 2: 11 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of...
