    When exactly do you become a Christian?

    Exactly. That’s the point where things become clear. The Bible never says, “You are saved when you finally ‘figure it all out’ or when you feel a certain way.” It says, “You are saved when you repent and believe the gospel.” “He that believeth on me hath everlasting life” (John 6:47). “Believe...

    When exactly do you become a Christian?

    You become a Christian the moment you repent of your sins and believe in Jesus Christ with your whole heart. Jesus said, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). That new birth comes when you turn from your old life of sin and trust that Jesus died for your...

    Survey - Is Repentance important to salvation?

    Repentance: The Forgotten Command That Determines Eternity The missing word in today’s Gospel is repentance. When was the last time you heard someone preach repentance? If you had to guess, it’s been a long time for most of us. But flip open the Bible and you’ll find the word on every page...

    Standing… Survey… YES or NO………………?ONCE SAV-ED…SAV-ED FOREVER [OSAS)?

    False teaching of “once saved, always saved” is incorrect, since it is used as either a license to sin, or as a false comfort for those who have never been truly born again. Jesus was very clear that not everyone who says “Lord, Lord” will enter the kingdom. Only those who do the will of His...

    if i wanted to become a catholic

    Don’t. Catholicism is a false teaching. The Bible tells us that people will forsake the truth and follow the teaching of men rather than God (2 Timothy 4:3–4). When you compare Catholicism to Scripture, you will see that its core doctrines are unbiblical. It teaches salvation by faith plus...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    You’re confusing God’s sovereign purpose with man’s responsibility to respond to that purpose. Scripture never teaches that God calls and man does not have the ability to refuse the call. The Bible is clear that God calls, but men may resist the call. That is why Jesus Himself said to the Jews...

    No proof there.

    Does One Person’s Faith Save the Whole Family?

    Acts 16 records one of the more exciting chapters in the New Testament. This one takes place in a Philippian jail. The jailer had just concluded all his prisoners had escaped due to the earthquake. He was about to hang himself when Paul shouted, “Do thyself no harm: for we are all here” (Acts...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    The problem with your argument is not that you quoted Scripture, but that you quoted it out of context without weighing it against the rest of God’s Word. Yes, the Bible says the wicked will be destroyed, perish, consumed, devoured, and cut off. But Scripture also defines what that destruction...

    Show me your proof it is false from the bible.

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    This is not a false teaching, because it lines up with what the Bible says in other places. If you want to make a statement like that, show your proof from the bible. The Bible consistently presents two truths together. It is true that God calls and man may resist. Jesus said to the Jews, “And...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    A person is called by God, but they can still say “no.” That’s why Jesus said in John 5:40, “And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” They could have come; they were called to come, but they refused. When someone does believe, all the glory goes to God’s power and mercy. When...

    Federal Troops in Washington DC

    I oppose more stringent gun control laws because the Bible teaches us that all men are sinful and therefore not to be trusted with too much power, and that every man has a God-given right to defend his life and liberty against a government that becomes tyrannical (Proverbs 29:2). However, this...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    Jesus did not teach that. In Matthew 25:46 he plainly states: “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal.” The same word aiōnios is used for both “punishment” and “life.” If the punishment is something one experiences with Christ, then by the same...

    When Religion Blinds: Why Only Christ Transforms

    Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has come to have no glory at all, because of the glory that surpasses it. ~ 2 Corinthians 3:10 Paul draws a strong distinction between the two covenants in 2 Corinthians 3. The old covenant, written on tablets of stone, was holy and glorious, but...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    Yes, “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6: 23), but the Bible is specific about what death means. In Revelation 20: 14–15, it says, “This is the second death… whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” This is not some nonexistence. A chapter earlier...

    The Battle With Anxiety

    Ever lay awake at night with your heart racing, wondering if God has forgotten you? You’re not alone. But the Bible says, “All the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen” (2 Corinthians 1:20). Anxiety lies, but God’s Word never does. Even when the answer feels delayed, Scripture...
  20. All God’s Promises Are Yes and Amen

    All God’s Promises Are Yes and Amen

    For all the promises of God in him are yes, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. ~ 2 Corinthians 1:20 Life often feels like one battle after another. Anxiety, fear, and uncertainty all press in around us, sometimes so tightly that it’s hard to breathe. It’s common to lie awake at night...
