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.

 

[Scott Downey]

"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

 

[Doug]

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.

Thanks so much for the response very informative..........what do you preach as far as the gospel

 

[Rockerduck]

Thanks so much for the response very informative..........what do you preach as far as the gospel

The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Salvation by Grace. The power of the Holy Spirit. I work that into the subjects I preach. Whether marriage, or funeral. I teach the finished work of the Cross.

If you are saying that means losing salvation it does not.....

Thank you for letting us know you speak for the devil in claiming we can turn away from the Lord, denying Him as the Galatians did and still be saved. That's doctrines of demons right there.

.they were fallen by being justified by the law and Christ would profit them nothing Gal 5:2

Meaning they are no longer saved.

They had previously forsaken the OT law and came to salvation thru Jesus and then they turned away from Jesus going back to the OT law and that caused them to not longer be saved which is why the Lord thru the Apostle Paul said they had fallen from grace.

They were bewitched by the devil's lies just like you!

 

[amigo de christo]

All Christians are to minister the Grace of God as the Gift of Salvation.
This means.. "Share Jesus" with unbelievers.
So, all Christians are ministers of The Gospel.

Does God also call specific believers "into the Ministry" and anoint them for service for the "perfecting of the Saints"?
Of couse.

Share JESUS with unbelievers . then how come
all i see by most is they try and share a beetles song
of what they think is love and yet Not only IS JESUS Not preached to the unbelievers
not only is it seen as being judgmental to do such a thing
THEY even believe the lie that its okay if the unbelievers dont beleive so long as
HERE GOES THE BEETLES SONG , SO long as they had love .
WHY am i seeing such a false love intefiath gospel being accepted .
WHY i am seeing more and more
come in with all these wild love ideas about how one can be saved WITHOUT BELIEVING .
WHY are so many not rather PREACHING JESUS as the ONLY MEANS TOBE SAVED , ONE MUST BELIEVE .
Anyone wanna answer that question . cause i see this only increasing , like some kind of new love gospel .
ONLY DARN ITS TOTAL DEATH .

[Gal 4:12 KJV] 12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I [am]; for I [am] as ye [are]: ye have not injured me at all.

Why would Paul call them brethren if they were lost?

Way to take one scripture out of context while ignoring the rest of what the Lord says about this to spread false doctrine.

You can't explain these verses away without help from satan which I'm sure he'll be providing for you

Romans 11:21,22 - For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

2 Peter 2:20 - For if after they have escaped the pollution of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

Romans 9 thru 11 is about the believing remnant of Israel..........Rom 11 21-22 is talking about Gentile believers who believed the preaching of Peter and were still alive when Paul wrote Romans ......see acts 10

Read the scripture below again. The Lord is saying the OT saints were were cut off when they turned away from the Lord and YOU (speaking of us in the New Testament) will also be cut off if we do not continue in His goodness (abiding in Christ)

Romans 11:21,22 - For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

It's time for you to get delivered from your false heretical doctrine that comes from the wisdom of man claiming one can live in sin and still be saved. That's heresy

To hold to the false doctrine of once saved always saved one has to claim Jesus is a liar!

John 15:1 ¶I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
