One who is an Unbeliever his entire life is damned
A Believer who got confused or fell into Error and lost their Faith , if that is even possible , I think will be brought back to Faith before they die. If they are not brought back and die in a state of Unbelief , I think there is hope for them because Jesus said that even though we may become “ unfaithful”.....” HE” Remains Faithful......
Also, Jesus says when you get Saved you ALREADY HAVE Eternal Life and NOTHING can make you come under Condemnation.....he says that no Future Act can take you from the Father’s Grip....if you got Saved and then lost your Faith, that mistake would be a future event that happened after you got Saved.....and should not count against you....you are still in His grasp...
The Bible says that” Anybody that asks to be Saved, WILL be Saved” .....no matter WHAT happens to a person that sincerely sees that he is a Lost Sinner and at ANY Point in his life, turns to God with Faith in Jesus Christ —- that guy is gonna be Saved . The most important thing in the universe is at stake—- God’s Word.The Onus is on “Him” to “ Finish what He started”..... He can handle it . He WILL handle it.He will NOT go back on His Word.....it is impossible...Despite a person’s error and Stupidity....
Okay, thanks.
Disagree in part.
People can believe for eons, but never confess till laying on their death bed, and be saved.
People can believe for eons, but never confess, and not be saved.
People who have "heartfully" confessed, ARE Saved, Period.
Jews "according to their law"... violation of their law, against a man, was a sin. "They" forgave each other of sins. They did not "become" Saved, until "their" physical death. Old Covenant.
Reason: Jesus is first in everything.
Jesus had not yet arrived to give His Body unto death.
New Covenant - men can ask God for forgiveness of their sin...
*Their sin is: their flesh body, (naturally born in sin), corrupting their soul, being in their sinful body, and their natural spirit (ie their natural truth in their heart).
* men can Confess true heartful belief...
Thereafter....God accepts their body, crucified with Christ, (washes their body, in Christs blood, Sanctifies their body, (Sets it apart from all unconverted, kept by Christ), justifies their body to be Raised in a glorified by, and covers their body, (with Gods light "internally", that their forgiven sin is not seen by God or remembered by God.
Their soul is restored, back to good, as when God blew His breath of life in their body, called saved.
God circumcises their heart, cuts off the old, gives them a new heart. In their new heart Gods seed enters, and birth them a new spirit, called the Spirit of Truth (Gods Truth).
In the mans New Heart and New Truth is where Gods Spirit Dwells.
Such a man IS Converted, and thereafter called a "son of God".
This man can NEVER AGAIN SIN...(which means....reject the Lord God....Never again not believe IN the Lord God Almighty).
Such a man "uses" Christ Jesus' risen body to "spiritually exist".
Such a man obviously is still in his natural flesh, with a natural mind, that thinks and does dumb stuff. We are not under Jewish Law...but there is plenty of Trespasses, men can do against men. Lie, cheat, steal, blah, blah....
Instructions to a Converted man IS, to take responsibility for your trespasses against other men. Pay your debt to them, ask for their forgiveness of your trespass against them, and forgive others of their trespasses against you.
DO that, and the Lord God has already said He will also forgive your trespasses against men.
So...according to Scripture Sin is only Against God and only Forgiven BY God....and that is precisely ALL forgiven once a man is Converted. And no future Sin is committed.
So...no I do not sin again men, nor do they sin against me. And no I can not sin against God....ANY MORE. Never Again.
THat does not make me sinless. THat does make me a Forgiven sinner, who sins no more.
The Unbelieving, who heard and chose not to believe, do not go to heaven.
God Bless,
