SALVATION IS DEFINITELY BASED ON HOW WE BEHAVE-no question! Do you agree with Lordship salvation?
1.) Faith is not the Savior, so, if we have slow faith, or dead faith, we are already born again, before that happened.
Faith is not the Savior.
God is the Savior, who saved us THROUGH our Faith. one time... DONE. = Born again is the proof.
Faith didn't die on the Cross for our sin.
Faith is not the Savior.
People who do not understand Salvation have "faith in faith"< and that is not faith in Christ.
"as long as i hold unto my Faith, i wont go to Hell".
NO...
The reason you wont Go to Hell if you are born again, is because you are born again.
Also, remember that God and Christ are always faithful to us, even when we are not faithful to them.
If you BELIEVE NOT....(no faith, dead faith)...Yet GOD abideth Faithful, as He cannot deny Himself"
Philippians 1:6.... God is FAITHFUL to complete your Salvation.
A.) Jesus said.. "I will never leave you or forsake you"...
He never said, "only if you are good, work hard, practice Lordship Salvation, and keep a very strong faith...THEN< i'll hang around".
Johann,.... Christ is IN the born again.... This is why we go to Heaven., as where Jesus is... So are the Born again, forever. "IN Christ"...
God never told us... "Ok, i'll save you, only if you hold unto your faith and keep it HOT and ALIVE".
No, He never said that was required. He only said. "if you Believe in Jesus".
"
You take Jesus, and I'll take You".
And if you did, He forgave your sin through the Blood and death of Jesus, and gave you the new birth, and that is eternal.
Eternal Life and Eternal Salvation and being BORN AGAIN.... are all the
same thing.
Salvation is based on the Cross of Christ, where Jesus died for your sin, Johann.
Is that your "behavior"?
2.) And No, "lordship "Salvation, is a false theology, that tries to prove that works and salvation, are Redemption.
Lordship Theology is "MAN MADE"... Just like CALVINISM.
The people that are slaves to the "lordship" doctrine, dont yet realize that JESUS IS LORD, no matter if you believe it or not.
and one day soon, "every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord".... because He is right now, and forever.
He is Lord of ALL. All of Creation.... but He's not the SAVIOR of all.
Most Believers are at this very moments, not doing anything for Jesus, or God, and have not, in years.
That is dead faith, but, ... their Salvation was a Gift, that they didnt earn., and they can't lose.
You can't stop being born again., but you can stop being a good disciple.
DEMAS = was a terrible disciple, and he's in Heaven. He left the ministry, but He could not leave being "Born again".
The Gift of Salvation, does not require you to work to keep it., as Jesus finished all the work necessary as Salvation, on The Cross.
Our Work, can never equal His Sacrifice on The Cross, so, never believe that what we do can be compared to what He has already completed : as the finished work of Jesus on The Cross.
We work because we are saved, and never to try to stay saved.
