I will answer a lot of the posts lately by this answer, so hope the ones who are involved in the discussion reads it
For all of you who Call me proud, I believe it is ok for you to say that. Because I truly believe you really think so in Your hearts and i respect that. But in reality I don't beleive that is the case, I will hopefully convince you of that With my answer. As always God bless you all With His Grace!
My point on all I have writed is that you can lose salvation. I may have been a little strong in my Words by saying that I was assured about it, and I am sorry for that. I ask for forgiveness for maybe not using the suitable Words. My other point is that you have to keep yourself in the love of God (Jude 1,21), and thats all. You say its by Works, but really it actually isn't. I'll explain myself:
I'll give you a Picture which I think makes it easier to understand what I am trying to say:
It's Christmas and you are going to wrap up the gifts. You have recieved it a gidt from Your mom. That gift is free, no cost, you didn't really deserve it, but really its by Grace. Its a lot the same With salvation. You got it for free, it was a gift given to you With no cost, and it is undeserving. But as the gift the son recieved you have to KEEP the gift to make get the benefits of the gift. It is free, but you have to keep it to have any advantage of having recieved it. You don't do anything for it, you just keep it and you will have the advantages it gives. But if you throw the gift away you will not have the benefits of the gift, it is no use to you. This is also how I believe the Bible puts salvation. You have recieved for free, no payment, only Grace. You just have to keep it and you will have all the benefits of the gift. And keeping something I wouldn't say is work. You really don't do anything. You recieved it as a gift, into Your heart. You're only letting it be there and transform you. If the gift is laid in Your heart and you keep it there, you do not do anything, do you? Its just there. You cannot sa: "Having Gods love (agape) in you is a work because you keep it." No, its not a work, its just letting it live in you and transform you. The same is it With salvation. BUT, you can take it out again and throw it away and it will be of no use. You have to take a Clear chioce to take it out. And that Choice is to live in sin, not just falling into it. When you decide to live that life, a LIFE in sin, you will take out what you have been given. As I have mentioned there is a big difference between falling into sin and living in sin, as we can see in 1 Corinthians 6,9-11 (The last verse tells us the glorious truth that we actually can come to the Lord again even after living in sin):
'Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.'
This is all continually sinning. A LIFE of sin. And those who live continually in sin will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
I hope this made my view clearer. i tried to make it as simple as I could to put my view in here.
God bless you all mightily!
