Does your flesh continue to sin?
You are speaking of your soul realm? Your mind?
Then if that is your problem, you need to renew your mind, and learn how to live here. Hebrews 13:9

Here the Major.
You don't save your self. You don't keep your self saved. Trust Jesus. Or trust yourself. But the double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Much love!
Um . . . I had written:

They look at this verse and proclaim, You stop partaking if you stop holding your confidence. Specious!
To which you responded,
Why? You didn't respond to my post.
The grammar of this passage shows your argment to be specious.
You deflect to something else, AS IF you were responding to me, but you didn't.
So I wonder, why?
Much love!

Well, a self righteous person wants to get some credit for their salvation.
This is why they talk about the SELF EFFORT of holding unto their faith as THEIR WAY to keep themselves saved.
This is the theology and MIND of the Legalist who has "fallen from Grace".

Imagine the power of a church...a people... Who had such a vision of sin. Who despised sin and recognised the true cost to the Godhead, the true price of redemption. Just one generation from Adam and the sin nature gave birth to a murder over the correct manner of worship. We see a battle looming soon between two cities... Brothers... Babylon and Jerusalem. One, am apostate Christian Church, the other, the faithful brother. We ought never believe we are immune to sin. Not even murder over worship.

You are a self saver.
Let me show you.
You believe that if you stop holding unto your faith and die, you will go to hell.
So, you are trusting in YOUR FAITH, to keep you out of Hell.
"As long as i dont lose my faith= im able to keep my self saved with it". "but if i lose my Savior (your faith) i will go to hell"
Thats you.
That's Legalism.

The born again "shall never perish".
Thats a promise from Jesus.
God is IN all the born again.
WE are "ONE" with God. We are born again INTO GOD Himself.
If we went to hell, then so does He, so does Christ, so does the Holy Spirit.
You know, as I relook at your statement, which you claim I "resist", you're not really saying that much.

When you walk that path—the path that few find that leads to eternal life—that is when you are walking the 'feel good' path of obedience to God and know that you know God and He knows you.
When you walk that path to eternal life, you are feeling good about your obedience, and your sure in your knowledge of God, and that He knows you.
Of course, I realize that you mean to imply the connection, if you feel good about your obedience to God, and that because you feel good about your obedience to God, that this gives you the confidence that you know Him.
And that comes down to your own opinion of yourself, and how obedient you think you are to God. And how your opinion leads you to approve of yourself, and go on to figure that if YOU approve of yourself, God must also, right?
So if this is really what you are saying, then yes, I DO resist that.
1 Corinthians 4:4-5 KJV
4) For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
5) Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
Much love!
To be clear . . . what I'm saying is that no one who is born again will stop believing. This construct of a "born again child of God" who stops believing is a fiction.
God is able to save.
Much love!
Ok, you're thinking I meant faith in something or someone else? Sure thing.
Just so! Nor should we seek safety from sin inside ourselves. Only by trusting in Jesus!
Much love!

Well said!Because I don't have a choice...not that I'm complaining.
The choice is out of our hands. And even so it remains what we choose.
Love it!
