ARE YOU CALLED?

[Scott Downey]

How do we know we are called? We believed in Christ.
Things happen in our life to lead us to Christ.

All God calls He justifies in Christ by His grace and their faith
Faith when God grants it as His gift is then your faith.
If I give a gift to someone it is theirs.

Romans 8
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

"no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit."
A most profound statement of truth

1 Corinthians 12

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.
**************************************************************
Therefore understand, that if you speak those words, you have been granted and enabled by God's Holy Spirit to say so.

As in your belief in Christ to say so, has been gifted to you by the Father
*************************************************************

James 1
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

18 Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
**********************************

Philippians 1
27 Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,

28 and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but [f]to you of salvation, and that from God.

29 For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,

30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.

I'm not going to do your bible study for you.

Go to any search engine and put in "the great commission that Jesus taught" and find it yourself.

You must be a baby Christian if you are not aware of the Great Commission that Jesus commanded of the Body of Christ.

Time to quit crawling and get up and walk!

I didnt say I didnt know what it was ......I wanted you to explain what you think it is ....I know what our commission is and its not in Matthew 28

The Galatians fell from grace

If you are saying that means losing salvation it does not.....they were fallen by being justified by the law and Christ would profit them nothing Gal 5:2

 

[Rockerduck]

God will speak if you listen. Its right there. If the are indwelled by the Holy Spirit, He will speak.

Job 33:14-18 -
For God may speak in one way, or in another,
Yet man does not perceive it.

15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls upon men,
While slumbering on their beds,

16 Then He opens the ears of men,
And seals their instruction.

17 In order to turn man from his deed,
And conceal pride from man,

18 He keeps back his soul from the Pit,
And his life from perishing by the sword.

I asked how you were called to preach....please tell me

 

[Rockerduck]

I asked how you were called to preach....please tell me

He comes me in a vision, as in Job. He handed me golden rod. All of a sudden, I woke up and was able and willing to preach with boldness. Then He told me a church to go to. Then 3 years later to another church. I worked on staff for the Billy Graham Crusades in the 1990"s. Then onto another ministry for the homeless for 3 yrs., then onto a traveling preaching ministry.

 

[Behold]

You reject the whole counsel of God so, that disqualifies you from trying to teach the bible...

I only teach Paul's doctrine.
He wrote most of the NT Epistles and all of the church doctrine for the body of Christ.

Study those, and put your commentaries, that have deceived you, in the dumpster... asap.
