    Once Saved....always Saved - Results of Questionnaire.

    Gods Grace is His. It is His own perfection. It is His own PURE Holiness. IF and WHEN God extends His Grace TO a man... there is a reason He does so. We are all fallen men...ie the Body of Flesh, born in sin. Yet we are all men, that are more than a Body of Sinful flesh. Matt 6:25 Luke...

    Can there be obedience where there is a lack of trust?

    Discussing what men do or do not do, is simply discussing millions of men that have occupied this earth, make umpteen millions of choices. Me asking a question, is me asking a question. Me announcing my beliefs, is me testifying of what I believe. Please do not confuse ones own testimony of...

    Can there be obedience where there is a lack of trust?

    WHO? WHO is able to Understand "according to Gods Understanding" ? No man, by his own understanding can understand Gods Understanding. No one can find Gods Understanding written in ink on paper. Gods Understanding is a GIFT from God, He gives to those that ARE "with" Him, and seek His...

    Once Saved....always Saved - Results of Questionnaire.

    Salvation IS a GIFT. IOW - it is something God HAS, and a man CAN Receive. You imply, a man who HAS RECEIVED the Gift of Salvation, FROM GOD, is a GIFT, God foolishly Gave, and can HE TAKE IT BACK, Because a man, AFTER HAVING RECEIVED the GIFT, then Rejected God. This is where I believe...

    Strong delusions

    The beastly Lion, naturally exhibits power. There is an evil supernatural power, comparing his power to a Lion that seeks to Devour men. There is an Holy supernatural power, comparing His power to a Lion that seeks to Restore men to good and Quicken men to eternally living spirit. The evil...

    Strong delusions

    I believe from the beginning: Of the Heavens, it's (created) host; Of the World, Earth, it's (created) inhabitants; the Word of God that was In God, Is God, and came forth out from God's mouth was "Jesus"; and spoke Gods desires to be known. I believe from the beginning the Power of God that...

    There was, secularly and spiritually, so divided by God. There is, secularly and spiritually, so divided by men. However the revelation is the Saving Grace of God is the same for all men....so also is the circumcision....which was foreskin, but now is of the heart. You forgot to mention "any...

    Can there be obedience where there is a lack of trust?

    The old laws were fulfilled. Any man in Christ has TWO laws which is the Law of Christ. 1) Love the Lord with your wholeness. 2) Love your neighbors as yourself. And as in all laws, man is not able to keep the Law, by his own power. However a man in Christ, has Christs' Power within him, that...

    Thanks for the conversation, yet I feel we are still in disagreement. I do not believe a man who has become saved and born again, can become "unsaved" or "unborn again".... which would make the Lord a liar and His Power moot. One will know if another is saved and born again .... or not. 1) By...

    Once Saved....always Saved - Results of Questionnaire.

    The crux of the matter lies in RECEIVING Salvation. Salvation is provided for ALL.... However Salvation is NOT given UNTIL one requests to receive it. That request is effected by the individual himself. 1) calling on the Name, of ? The one who Has the Salvation to give. Ie the Lord. 2)...

    Can there be obedience where there is a lack of trust?

    Statutes are Laws. When did God give Statutes to Gentiles? Jesus came to fulfill the Law; One has to believe they are fulfilled or continue obedience to the Law. Where in Scripture are Gentiles instructed in Law or required to adhere to the Law? Thanks, God Bless, Taken

    OUTSIDE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH THERE IS NO SALVATION

    Thank you for the Welcome. No, this is not my first posting, and much of my exchange was on something not found in Scripture since it was personal experience. Pss 18:2 Jesus is the Rock. Matt 16: 16: ...thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.. Matt 16: 18 ...upon this rock...I will...

    Can there be obedience where there is a lack of trust?

    I found Christ Jesus, whom, fulfilled the Law, and thus left me having never been subject to the Law, not thereafter subjected to the Law, with my choosing to subject myself to Christ Jesus, and accept His Saving Grace. God Bless, Taken

    Your objection to received Salvation being permanent. Why? Because I Trust Jesus is the Truth, and can not speak what is not True. Luke 7: 50 ...he said...They faith hath saved thee..... Why ? Because I Trust Christ is the Power of God, that supersedes the power of mankind. John 14:16...

    Not sure why you said "No". Behavior also affects God. It is not ONLY for us or for a witness as many state. I was not speaking for many, nor excluded God.... Clearly I identified it Glorifies His Name. Actually Jesus commanded, not demanded. And Jesus revealed, but did not demand His own...
