    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    Some of you apparently don't know all there is to know about the birds and the bees...and it shows. 1. When a woman has a child, who's child is it? It is both the woman's child and the father's child, for the two have become one flesh (in marriage, but also in the conception). 2. When a woman...

    "But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared." "Father forgive them for they know not what they do."

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    It is good that a rant and the truth are easily distinguished by those who have eyes to see. Such contempt. :(

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    That is a complete misrepresentation of salvation and what it means to be saved biblically. (You have not understood what Paul was saying. He was speaking to those whom Christ had made a way for salvation, "to present" --read it again, it's future tense.) Salvation comes to those who God comes...

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    Sounds like you need a dictionary. Saved means saved.

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    There is a term for those who preach to "follow", and then when they do, say it is falsehood. Jesus used it often.

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    Well, which is it..."rest" or "plow?" You said, "give it a rest", He said "plow." The problem with your Exposition, is you have presented it not as "My burden is light", but as "works." Jesus did not contradict Himself to say "plow" and also "My burden is light." But rather that His light...

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    Haha, if you need rest--take it. As for me, if I should stop, the rocks would surely cry out, for it is not me who speaks, but He who is in me!

    I have a question... What is the Gospel of the Kingdom?

    That which is born of the spirit of God.

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    You contradict yourself. If I am "in Christ" it is finished. To say it is not, is to say that Christ is not finished-- which you just said He was. The matter of "enduring to the end", is not what you make of it-- It is not the end of the flesh living in the world. "We who are alive and remain"...

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    It is important not to mix those thing that were preached to Israel for Israel, with those things which were preached regarding the "other fold" which Jesus said He "must also bring." We need to remember that the bulk of what Jesus preached was to Israel, who are "the dead in Christ", of whom...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    Yes. The problem that results in the confusion regarding who it is that is completely responsible for salvation, is that Jesus, and the apostles, including Paul, preached to "this generation" during that time of transition from Israel to that "other fold" that He must also bring. It is not that...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    What you have described is not salvation, it's works...which saves no one. With this you enslave people, whereas Christ has set us free...not free to sin, but free from it. We are not saved by following exactly in the obedience that Christ achieved, but it is because of Him and His obedience...

    Can the seal be broken? Lack of trust? Grieve the Holy Spirit?

    And now we get to the crux of the problem.. You are looking at salvation as if people by their own actions save themselves. But that is works, which saves no one. Moreover, you are not factoring in God overall-- the fact that it is no longer we who live, but God who lives: we in Him, and Him...

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    You are referring to the times when the gospel was first being preached. Therefore it is right that Paul (and Jesus, and the apostles) continue a message of conversion from unbelief to full belief. That generation was on the cusp-- as Jesus said "this generation." But that does not (as you are...

    NASA hired Theologians

    Interesting. But let me just say: Nothing is impossible with God, even the manifestation of all manner of alien life-- that is what the world is. It is the manifestation and revelation of every good and evil in the spirit realm. It is the last will and testament, a witness against the accused...

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    What you have described is not salvation. Just hearing the gospel, even superficially believing it, is not salvation. That is a "maybe." So, no, the New Testament does not warn about loosing ones salvation... But rather, yes, if you hear the gospel and begin to follow, but not loose your life...

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    By definition salvation (being the gift of eternal life), is forever. Still, there are many who are confused by the ongoing sin of people who claim to be saved. This is a great misunderstanding-- but it does not mean that salvation can be lost. And yes, there are many scriptures that can be...
