If a person quenches the Spirit too often and/or too long he may find himself out of time [his allotted time before the grace] and end up reprobate or completely dead again.
The verse says to not quench the Spirit.
Nothing else.
The verse just moves on to the next dont do this, also....etc, etc
THEN, here come the Legalists, the self savers, who try to rewrite the verse as..."and if you do quench it, you're done, you're damned, its over", "Kiss heaven goodbye"....
And if you want to see a low comedy of errors erupt into hilarity and nonsense, just ask about 5 of them to define "quench the spirit".
= Let the comedy begin.....
"well, the church father's said, in AD 645, that this means".. and on and on and on.
"Here is what i think"
"my opinion is'.
"but, what Calvin said"
"but, Strong's Says"
"says"
"says'
"this one said, and that one said, and no one said the same thing".
Listen,
The verse does not even HINT that quenching the Spirit affects redemption, salvation, eternal life.
Deceivers make that connection, the bible does not, and never will.
The bible also says, "pray without ceasing" and someone could say..."or, you'll lose your salvation" "or you'll quench the spirit" "or one of your legs will grow longer then the other".
So, reader, you have to be careful, as self righteous people who are spawned out of of the many self righteous Cross Denying cults, all want you to believe that if you are not GOOD.....nearly perfect.... then the Cross of Christ is of no effect, when in fact you came to God as a lifetime sinner and God made you clean, forever., with the Blood of Jesus and the death of CHRIST on The CROSS.
Welcome To : Salvation
Its a GIFT..
"the GIFT of Salvation".
