    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    Where have I taught that I think everyone is saved? We are saved by God's grace through faith that is the gift of God to as many as our Lord God shall call. We are eternally saved through Him, according to God willing and working through the Spirit of Christ in us. Acts 2:39 (KJV) For the...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    You're teaching that we repent, obey and continue in His words though our good works. But the only way we are able to repent, obey and continue in His words is by the power of God working in us. Philippians 2:13 (KJV) For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    You're teaching a doctrine of perfectionism, that no man can attain! Again, if our salvation is dependent upon how good we are, then who can be saved? To be consistent will you also teach that we must sell what we have and give to the poor to have treasure in heaven and follow Him? Matthew...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    If our salvation (eternal life) is conditioned upon how good we are, who then shall be saved? For NONE of us are righteous, not one! Salvation is NOT dependent upon my goodness, rather it is through the goodness of God that we are eternally saved.

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    Verse 7:21 is NOT depicting those who are eternally saved by doing the will of God! It's showing the action of those who profess they are saved saying they know the Lord, doing good deeds in His name who are in FACT lawless! Those depicted here: Matthew 7:15 (KJV) Beware of false prophets...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    Has nothing to do with Calvin! It is FACT, all mankind is physically born, spiritually dead, the result of the fall. Remember, many shall stand before Him at the judgment saying, "Lord, Lord".....and He will say to them depart from Me I do not know you!

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    Faith is a noun which comes not from man to save themselves. But believe(ing) is a verb which is the work of God according to grace given us that we shall be obedient to Him.

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    "That" refers to SALVATION! How is man saved? By GRACE through FAITH, and this (salvation) is not of man but of God that no man can boast!

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    Because mankind is NOT born knowing Jesus! Knowing there is a God is a good thing, but it is in knowing Jesus as Lord and Savior who gives us eternal life. We must KNOW Him to be eternally saved! When we hear the gospel of the Kingdom of God proclaimed and by grace through faith we believe in...

    Revelation 20:15 What does it mean?

    We either choose to believe Christ when He tells us the life we receive when we are born again is FOREVER, or we can choose to force contradictions into the Word of God. There is a difference in being blotted out of the book that registers our mortal birth, and the book of life the registers...

    Revelation 20:15 What does it mean?

    You've said it perfectly Siddhi! Continue believing Jesus, for this shows your name is recorded in the book of life! Christians no longer need fear the second death (lake of fire) because our names are written in heaven and shall never be blotted out, because when you were born again the life...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    God's grace! Ephesians 2:8 (KJV) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    All of humanity have natural faith in many things/ways! That kind of faith cannot eternally save us! James 2:19 tells us that even the devils/demons believe (have faith) there is one God. James 2:19 (KJV) Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    Where does faith for eternal life come from, if not of the grace of God?

    Four horseman in Revelation

    "YET, WE MUST THROUGH MUCH TRIBULATION ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD (vv. 3-8). Sorrow is the common lot of God's people in this world (John 16:33). Not only must we suffer all the sorrows common to others, we also must endure those which are heaped upon us by wicked, persecuting men. These are...

    Four horseman in Revelation

    Here is a portion of an article by Pastor Don Fortner you might find interesting and helpful "As we come to chapter 6, we see Christ, the Lamb of God, opening the seals of the book, unfolding to us the mysteries of God's purpose and fulfilling his decrees. In this chapter, he opens six of the...

    Let's examine Revelation 20:4 yet again.

    Yes, and for those who belong to the house of God because they have been born again, judgment now, before physical death through trials and tribulations (judgment of God) ordained for all who are in Christ, means that at the GWTJ we shall not be judged according to what we have done in the...

    Let's examine Revelation 20:4 yet again.

    In this unknown amount of time (THE HOUR) there shall be ONE RESURRECTION "in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation." In the same...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    The way I understand this passage in Jo 3 is that one must be born again of the Spirit to both know and enter the spiritual Kingdom of God. This passage dwells upon the spiritual Kingdom of God without any reference to the Kingdom of God as it physically exists on this earth through the church...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    Because I understand both the physical and spiritual aspects of the Kingdom of God. How the Kingdom of God in this age of time is represented as the church/body/bride of Christ in this world, that has both good and evil physically together. And even though there are many who profess to be born...
