Actually, I stand corrected. Thank you very much. I will cease to call unrighteous OSAS sinners for life, hypocrites.
They are hypocrites in naming the name of Jesus Christ and not departing from their sinning, and with no intention of doing so, since they teach that is impossible.
The Promise of Salvation is ONE thing.
The Receiving of Salvation is ANOTHER thing.
The Promise of Salvation IS a PROMISE God fulfills ONCE the man fulfills BELIEVING UNTO THE DAY HIS BODY DIES!
On the DAY a BELIEVING mans BODY DIES, IS the DAY that Believing man RECEIVES his GIFT of SALVATION.
ONCE that man HAS received his SALVATION, the ONLY WAY that man COULD lose his Salvation would be to COME BACK TO A LIVING STATE and DENOUNCE his Belief IN the Lord God.
Your little problem is NOT ONCE have YOU provided a SINGLE SCRIPTURE of a dead man coming back to a LIVING STATE and Denouncing his BELIEVE IN the Lord God.
WHY NOT? Because there IS NO such Scriptural Teaching.
WHY NOT? Because we DO KNOW, via Scriptural Teaching, men HAVE physically bodily died and then came back to bodily life and resumed Living, maintaining their FREEWILL choices.
WHY NOT? Because Scriptural Teaching Expressly Teaches God IS ALL Knowing. Because Scriptural Teaching Expressly Teaches God IS NOT fooled by the words and acts of men.
THUS, WHEN a man CONFESSES to the Lord God the mans BELIEF IN the Lord God...God KNOWS “IF” that CONFESSION BE TRUE or NOT.
And on that DAY a man DOES CONFESS...
Thereafter; ON THE DAY that man bodily DIES, HE BECOMES the Recipient of Gods ONCE and For EVER “IRREVOCABLE” Gift of SALVATION.
Not one Scripture reveals Salvation GIVEN is EVER “revoked” or “lost”.
Numerous Scriptures WARN if that man IS NOT IN BELIEF on the day he DIES, his
PROMISE of SALVATION shall be moot, void, an undeliverable Gift to that man.
ONCE Salvation IS Given a man, an ETERNAL BOND IS FORMED between that ONE man and the Lord God.
Your problem (and even some who Understand The promise of Salvation fulfilled is permanent).... IS: immediately jumping on the bandwagon of men’s BEHAVIORS and RELATIONSHIPS among and between men supposedly having some EFFECT on a mans SAVED Relationship WITH the Lord God....IT Doesn’t!
I AM converted IN Christ, Which IS to say, I followed the Order and Way according to the Lord God, TO RECEIVE the Lord God’s Give of Salvation. It’s a done deal. My having RECEIVED the Lord God’s Gift of Salvation IS NEVER IN Jeopardy of Being revoked or lost.
Regarding my relationships, behaviors, between and among men...
* Charity, Helping, Aiding, etc. (in Jesus’ Name), shall be rewarded.
Regarding my relationships, behaviors, between and among men...
* Lying, Cheating, Stealing, Conniving, etc. shall be burned.
A SAVED mans Relationship with God IS Sound, Secure. Established in Truth, Established for ever.
However men ARE NOT all knowing. Men’s TRUTHS are not ALL the same.
* If a man tells another man he will do this or that, and doesn’t because of circumstances...Oops, a
lie occurred.
* If a married man escorts his female secretary to lunch, the mans wife may feel cheated on...(the wife’s truth)...Oops, accusation of
cheating.
* If a man borrows a pen from another man, and slips that pen in his pocket and walks away...Oops, that man has
stolen a borrowed pen.
It’s the
lies, cheating, theft, that occurs all day long BETWEEN and AMONG men...
* Certainly such “lies, cheating, theft”, can be “exampled” to greater “examples”, elaborated intended lies, elaborated sneaky cheating, elaborated sneaky intended theft.
*
Those things become MEASURED by men...as the Greater the Harm, the Greater the Hurt and Greater men WANT to see the instigator Punished.
POINT BEING -
* All the lying, cheating, theft BETWEEN and AMONG men,
ARE TRESPASSES BETWEEN and AMONG men.
* They HAVE NOT ONE IOTA to do with the Relationship ONE man has WITH and IN the Lord God Almighty.
* A man WITH and IN the Lord God Almighty...
CAN NEVER, lie to God, Cheat on God with other gods, Steal from God His Power and Glory...GOD POWER KEEPS that man TRUE and Faith-FULL, to the Lord God, FOR-EVER!
* MEN must bear their OWN “burdens” BETWEEN men.
Lie to other men...Cheat other men....Steal from other men...
The Liar, Cheat, Thief; may lose a friend, lose their employment, lose their marriage, lose their family, lose their home, lose their income, lose their savings, lose their reputation, lose respect, lose authority positions, lose their freedom.
* SUCH men “MIGHT” receive “forgiveness of their Trespass Against another Man, from the other man....YET still “have to bear the consequences/burden of their Trespass.
Steal from an employer for example...(embezzle money).
The Employer can FORGIVE the Trespass...YET STILL ... demand repayment....YET STILL....be content with the embezzler be sentenced to serve Prison time. (A removal of that embezzler from society, a punitive punishment to reflect on his poor behavior and not likening the consequence.)
God is SIMILAR. BE WITH God, and He shall be WITH you. OPEN your ears to Gods Teaching of HOW TO have a cordial relationship among and between men (Friend or Foe), to AVOID poor behaviors between and among men, and the negative consequences thereof.
(It is Called
PRECEPTS...and the beginning teaching thereof taught very Early IN Scripture and Continues on into the NT)
A Relationship “WITH and IN” the Lord God Almighty...
IS BONDED and SEALED forever...
Precepts among and between men...WAVERS, and the Consequences thereof Continue. They are Trespasses, (not sins), and are up to individual men to bear the responsibly of the Forgivenesses Of Trespasses AND Burdens that result for a mans own behaviors.
ONCE a man IS SAVED, it is Forever.
Trespasses shall continue among men.
Gal 6:
[
5] For
every man shall bear his own burden.
You shall bear the consequences of your own burden preaching against men trusting Gods Gift of Salvation is Given, was Given them once and forever.
