God Would Have ALL Men to be Saved!!

1 Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

1Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth

But some little men have other ideas!!

God predestined
This word means to appoint before hand very similar to making an appointment or a reservation; arranging in advance for something to happen at a certain time. When God looked down through time to see us making our decision to be saved, He made an appointment for us to be conformed to the image of His son.
Bible says, Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Matt. 7:7-8)

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

“For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:40)

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:13)

A more accurate rendering of John 3:16...

Jhn 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Salvation is not guaranteed for those who merely "believe"...

And if someone calls on the name of the Lord, but has a different Jesus in mind than the Jesus of the Bible (see 2 Corinthians 11:3-4), they will not be saved.

How to be saved (born again) and join the family of God!!!

Romans: Chapter 10 verse 9-10-13 GOD SAYS=

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be Saved. For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession
is made unto Salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be Saved....................

---------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------

An example prayer for those that have never talked to God!

Heavenly Father:........................................... ...............................
I come to you in prayer asking for the forgiveness of
my Sins. I confess with my mouth and believe with my
heart that Jesus is your Son, And that he died on the
Cross at Calvary that I might be forgiven and have
Eternal Life in the Kingdom of Heaven. Father, I believe
that Jesus rose from the dead and I ask you right now
to come in to my life and be my personal Lord and
Savior. I repent of my Sins and will Worship you all the
day's of my Life!. Because your word is truth, I confess
with my mouth that I am Born Again and Cleansed
by the Blood of Jesus! In Jesus Name, Amen

It is also good to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; for the Holy Ghost is absolutely promised to all those who obey this ordnance of holy scripture (Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39).

Very true this is . its why we need to truly learn the biblical Jesus . I say this with hope some will hear .
We ought to simply just start fresh and truly learn JESUS .
Let me give us an example . In my own hometown
we have many with the same name . I will use the name jose rodriguez .
Now let say i need to get ahold on jose rodriguez the plumber .
I can open the phone book and see a lot of jose rodriguez names , but we all know they are not the same person .
And if i am looking for the one who is a plumber , not just any jose rodriguez is going to be able to supply the help i need
with my plumbing problem .
Now lets look at something and someone far greater than any plumber .
IF we are truly needing a savoir , AND WE DO , then only JESUS saves .
But if go to another jesus , Well it AINT JESUS .
We must truly go back into our bibles . EVEN if folks have read it . Return and read and read it . OH do so daily .
Cause i know for a one hundred percent fact , JESUS only saves . But i also know if one comes to another jesus
They wont be saved at all .

I used to be that man . I had heard the gospel at a young age , but for years i lived as a heathen .
I did not have real faith . As james said even the devils believe and can tremble .
It is very true that all who do not believe in Him are not saved . But it is also true
we have many that do believe , BUT NOT IN SPIRIT , NOT IN TRUTH , their faith is truly dead .
And as i said , i was once that man . OH BUT PRAISE be to GOD for Drawing me to Christ , for the wonderful
marvelous grace of GOD .
Any who denies Christ will be denied . Not only can one deny Him by mouth , there are many that while professing Him
Are denying HIM by being hearers only .
If we are HIS , we have the SPIRIT . WE have confessed by mouth JESUS CHRIST and we have believed from the heart
that GOD has rose him from the dead . AND we would walk in the Spirit .
And the fruit of the Spirit is in all godliness , righteousness and truth , proving that which is acceptable to GOD .
Even paul had a word to say about Denying the Faith .
IF any will not provide , specially for those of his own household , then he has DENIED the FAITH and is worse than an infidel .
YES , when JESUS said HE who hears and does built their house on a solid founation . HOW true that is
But HE also said WHoever hears my sayings and DOES not do them , built their house on SAND , HAD NO FOUNDATION .
James knew this well . Be no hearers only deceiving your own selves . We must simply return to the bible
and learn JESUS well . Learn all biblical doctrine well .
THE LORD is with the lambs . AND HE IS able to keep us from falling . LET US HEED HIM . And learn the doctrine well .

Yes, you must repent before being baptized.

But you will be receiving the true Jesus as he exists in Spirit (the Holy Ghost) when you go under and then come up out of the water. The Holy Ghost is absolutely promised as the result of repenting and being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins (Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39).

OOPS!! Did God just forget the super important truth that you must be baptized to be saved??? Think some more!!

Romans 10 verse 9-10-13
GOD SAYS=

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be Saved. For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession
is made unto Salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be Saved...

God has given a conditional promise to as many as the Lord our God shall call.

(see Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39).

Now consider:

Rom 8:30, Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Think about it for a while.

Please note, also, that every doctrine of the Bible is not included in every passage; while every doctrine in the Bible is included in the Bible itself.

2 Peter 3
[8] But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
[9] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
