My Positions is;
“IF” an individual heartfully Believes IN and Lord God AND heartfully has Confessed his Belief IN the Lord God… He “IS” Saved. Period.
DOES…Drinking, smoking, eating to much, dancing, blah, blah….somehow CHANGE an individuals “Saved condition” ? No.
Scripture simply teaches, (particularly for saved, born again individuals), God desires such individuals, by example, to be “Gods representative on Earth”… How?
By… speaking the word of God, that others may hear.
By… precepts, (which is behaviors between and among men), that such behaviors Glorify God.
Does everything a man does 24-7 Glorify God? Uh, no.
Men are more critical and judgemental than God.
Glory to God,
Taken
You might want to reconsider something .
cause anyone can use this for an excuse .
example . I once lived in sin , justified my sins , but too could claim i believed in JESUS CHRIST .
I could even and did even quoate the gospel to an atheist .
Scary thing was , had we died that night , the atheist wasnt gonna be the only awaiting damnation .
Me thinks we might want to read us some more bible and pay close heed to ALL things JESUS and the apostels left .
Its true men can appear much more critical and judgmental , but so too they often say this
about those who correct THEIR SINS , yall judgmental , yall condmers , judge not , God is love
THEY say , as they hold up A RAINBOW FLAG and holler to all religions YE ARE FINE as is , NO NEED to believe on JESUS
lets just LOVE LOVE LOVE . THEY DONT KNOW JESUS , THEY DONT KNOW GOD , but THEY THINK THEY DO .
