Can Christians Lose Their Salvation by Falling Away? Hebrews 6:4-6 - Bob Wilkin

[@bluedream428]

Everlasting life does not start when you die. It starts when you accept Christ as the savior.

[@gideonboots1008]

Oh Amen!

[@budcurtis4512]

So we don't die when they put us in the grave? Was Jesus dead in the grave? Did He actually die for us? We have eternal life dwelling in us after we repent and get the holy spirit. That spirit returns to God when we die. Christ brings us eternal life at the resurrection.

[@sandragambrel9721]

@@budcurtis4512 This is confusing. In Revelation, there are the "martyrs" talking to God during the Tribulation, wanting to know when they get their bodies. He tells them they have to wait a little longer. It does sound like their souls are in heaven with their spirits, not just their spirits alone.

The more I read the Bible, and the more I pray with God, and the more I reflect on the Cross and promises of My Lord and the more I Reflect on All He has done and Been in My Life, the more in love I fall with My God. No matter What trials I go through, or what my troubles are, or how much pain I face, I don't ever want another God.

Jesus warned us not to be deceived in these last days. I make my own Testimonial Gospel Tracts. I wanted to share my story with you ':0): ~I Was a Homeless, Suicidal, Drug Addicted, Murdering, Gay, Prostitute. As a Teenager I ran away from home and was Kidnapped for 14 months and Used For Sex Trafficking...and No One Even Reported Me Missing! For over 30 years I went to Christian Mega Churches, but I never felt worthy of God's love. I couldn't understand why God continued to save my life! From age 6-50 I was tormented by demonic voices, so I got involved with as many ministries as possible, but that only gave me temporary Relief. Everyone I went to Church with couldn't seem to find any lasting Freedom in their life either, so I Thought that it was Normal to Keep taking 3 steps backward! Satan wants to take as many to Hell as possible, specially Hypocrites that Won't Read or Obey the Bible, so they Willfully Sin. I trusted Preachers Instead of God, not knowing that Most Churches preach on Topics, so that they can Cherry-Pick verses and Twist them! Jesus Vividly described Hell, but they Don’t want to Warn You about that! Instead, most of us have heard these 6 Damnable Lies: 1-If you EVER said a Sinner's Prayer, You're Saved! 2-All of your Future sins are Forgiven, so you Don't have to Repent! 3-We will All Struggle with sin until we Die! 4-God loves you, so Gay is OK. 5-God knows your heart, so He won't send you to Hell. 6-All Religions Lead to God! ~My Life Radically Changed in 2017 when I read the entire Bible for myself! God showed me in 1 JOHN 3:4-10, that when I Willfully sinned, that was Evidence that I was Not a True Believer, and I was headed for Hell! To Enter Heaven, God Warns us All How we Are to Live & How we are Not to Live! God gave us All a Free-Will to find out who would Remain Faithful to follow Him with All our Heart, Mind, Soul & Strength...Until We DIE! Friendship with the World makes us an Enemy of God! Glorify God-Not Satan, because the Rainbow is God's Loving Reminder that He Will Destroy the whole world for its sins, but this time with Fire. Once I had a Healthy Fear of God and learned that True Believers Never Willfully Sin, I Stopped Making Excuses for myself & I fully Surrendered Everything! I Realized that Even my Thought Life Would Condemn me to Hell! Once I thoroughly removed Every Unclean things from before my eyes, God Free me from Every Lustful Thought and Sexual Desire! Now I can’t even watch a TV commercial, because its Offends my spirit. If I see something while driving, I will Instantly Repent and think on Whatever is Praiseworthy! Every Year, I'm so Amazed that My Life is Still FREE from ALL WILLFUL SIN! If I had only read the Bible sooner, my life would Not have been Filled with so Many Regrets!

@@Jillian1stJohn3-9-10 Thank you for your powerful testimony! I believe that God wouldn't have left His Word for us if He didn't want to warn us about deception. SATAN is indeed the father of LIES. I believe it's God's will that none should perish and that He'll go to great lengths to come after us (just like the Good Shepherd after the lost sheep). We can "lose" our physical life just as easily as our spiritual or "eternal" life. Satan and the "fallen" angels once has a chance at "eternal " life. They believe in Jesus but they have not repented because they want to carry out their own will and NOT God's. There are consequences. Just as in this life if we see a car coming and decide to step in front of it.. we will more than likely lose our physical life. If we decide to wait for it to pass then we will preserve our life. In a similar way.. if we choose to do whatever we want in this life and don't have a healthy fear (respect) for God's laws... then we will lose our spiritual life.

How can you lose everlasting life? Not even that once you believe this verse says you have passed on to life already. And you will not be judged. “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.” ‭‭John‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[@stevewebb1221]

this passage is not about losing salvation, but an assurance of salvation. the writer is not saying that salvation can be lost, but cannot lose it. if you can lose it, you cannot be saved again - unless Jesus go to the cross again - which will not happen. those who believe that Christians believe that salvation can be lost always point to the sinfulness of Christians - as if our sinfulness or righteousness had anything with our salvation. when the Bible says it is by GRACE, that's what it means. good news. the debates are about to be over. waiting on Jesus to shout and have the trumpet blown. I hope you are born again and will go up with the rest of the saints.

Steve and Ronald...You both are on the right track. May God bless both of you!

[@xepiloguex]

I believe that there is a difference in Salvation and people falling away from God. I don't believe that we can lose what God done for us on the cross. I do believe that we can get saved and start living for God but then Fall Away. If you fall away and you don't get back to God and get your sins forgiven by Jesus then I don't believe that you can get into heaven. 1st Corinthians 6:9-11, Revelation 21:8, Revelation 21:27, Matthew 7:21-23. you cannot live in sin and do these things and expect to go to heaven. if you fall away or mess up and get out of the will of God then you need to repent and get back to God. Remember The Prodigal Son. I find it really hard to believe that you will still go to heaven if you are living for fleshly lust and willfully sinning all the time and not trying to live for God. God tells us to repent. John 2:1. if you are living in your sin and are not at least trying to repent then how could you ever get into heaven after reading what the Bible says about getting into heaven. God has a standard for his people. 1st Peter 1:15 -16, Matthew 5:48. God wants us to be holy, and to try to be as perfect as we can possibly be, and to try to be sinless.

You missed the true answer, which is the Catholic interpretation. Jesus and the Apostles clearly caution that believers can sin and turn from God, and that this will separate you from God. Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:50, Luke 8:6,13, John 3:36, John 15:5-6, Romans 11:19, 1 Cor 6:9-12, 1 Cor 15:1-2, Col 1:21-23, 1 Thea 4:3-6, 2 Thes 1:7-9, 1 Tim 1:19-20, 2 Tim 2:10-13, Hebrews 3-12-14, 2 Peter 2:20-21, 1 John 1:8-10, just to name a few. All examples of when actions separated people from God and salvation is lost. The answer is sincere repentance, renewed faith, and continual following of Jesus’s commandments. This is not salvation via works, as faith is a prerequisite...but all who have true faith will follow the example of Jesus. And when we sin, as we all do, we must sincerely repent and correct our ways. This is what James meant when he says “faith without works is dead.” And Christians who abandon their faith - which can happen, we all know them - have also abandoned salvation.

[@SeekTheTruth205]

Some people push a message of “you better watch out you could lose your salvation”. Let’s examine that. What would cause you to lose salvation? Sin would. So, if Jesus died for your sins, did it work? Of course it did! That answer alone should end the discussion. Jesus didn’t just die for small sins or ones we rarely commit. He died for the big ones and the ones we struggle with too. There’s not a single verse that actually ever mentions losing salvation. No. It’s just distorted theology. And you can bet it’s almost always from legalist angry Christians and talk more about fear of them they do the love of Christ. Now, let’s talk about the word “eternal”. God’s word tells us “whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall not perish, but will have eternal life”. Eternal means without an end. That word is extremely important when we’re thinking about losing salvation. In order to lose salvation it could not be eternal, otherwise it would in fact have an end At the very best it would be temporary or contingent salvation. Emerite come from we call that works based salvation. And let’s take that word eternal a little deeper. Eternal doesn’t just mean without an end. It also means without a beginning. But wait, you had a birthday so you must have a beginning. And that’s when we discover that eternal salvation is not your life prolonged. But rather it’s Jesus‘ life given to you. It’s his eternal life you receive. And now it makes sense! Anybody teaching a theology of losing salvation is teaching law based salvation. And it’s a lie from the evil one. On one side of their mouth they are saying we are saved by faith, on the other side of their mouth they are saying we maintain it by works. That’s double-talk. If salvation were maintained by works then it wouldn’t be a gift. It wouldn’t be by faith. And that kind of teaching is no different than all the fake religions of the world. Fake religions that require you to earn salvation through human effort. How to teach losing salvation is reject the grace of God. And if we could keep our salvation through human effort then why in the world did Jesus go to the cross? [Galatians 2:21] “ I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness cane through the law then Christ died needlessly”.

[@TheBibleSays]

Think of it in this way and perhaps it will be more clear: We are sinners in need of God's mercy and grace. The question of the day is, "Who gets God's mercy and grace?" Answer: It's those who obey and come to Him in repentance, confessing and forsaking sin: ⚫ "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent" (Acts 17:30) ⚫ "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy." (Proverbs 28:13) ⚫ "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him . . . " (Isaiah 55:7) If we'll obey and come to Him in repentance, our past sins will be blotted out: ⚫ "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord" (Acts 3:19, NKJV). Our sins were neither blotted out nor paid for _when Jesus died on the cross._ Our sins remain-and we'll pay for them ourselves-unless we come to repentance. That's why Jesus warned: ⚫ "except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Jesus, in Luke 13:5) Jesus died for our sins, as stated in 1 Corinthians 15:3. With His death He made a ransom payment available; He made His death available to cover the death penalty we've earned for sin. We can have that mercy, that coverage, that redemption-as promised-if we'll come to repentance. That's why Jesus instructed His disciples to preach repentance and remission of sins. Not "faith alone"; not "faith + nothing = salvation": ⚫ "Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." (Luke 24:45-47) Peter summed it up in one verse: ⚫ "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." (2 Peter 3:9) *ps* You won't be saved unless you receive the gift of eternal life at Jesus' return; otherwise you'll perish, very much unsaved. In this mortal life we may enter justification, made right with God: upon repentance our past sins-which separated us from God (Isaiah 59:1,2)-will be "blotted out." As we remain in repentance, abiding in Him, we remain in justification and we remain in His grace and mercy; His blood continues (present tense) to cover what sins we commit (see 1 John 1:7). And we have "the hope of salvation"-the gift of eternal life-to be received at Jesus' "revelation" or return: ⚫ "And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life" (1 John 2:25). ⚫ "But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ" (Paul, in 1 Thessalonians 5:8,9). ⚫ "Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;" (1 Peter 1:13)

It seems to me that there is an interpretation here that needs to be uncovered. The word "eternal" can describe life or my possession of life. How you interpret this changes your stand. Eternal security says, "You eternally possess life. How could you lose it." The other side says, "you possess eternal life. You can step out of 'the stream' of eternal life, thereby 'losing' it, but that life is still eternal." Just some thoughts. I'm still trying to determine where I stand on this issue.

[@wtom04]

dominoes7 The Bible says that once a person is saved, he is eternally saved -Romans 8:38-39, John 10:28-29, Romans 11:29, 2 Corinthians 1:22, Ephesians 1:13. A person cannot lose his salvation even if he wanted to. It is the finished work of Christ on the cross that keeps a person eternally saved, not the person. There is nothing a person can do that can undo his salvation in Jesus. The person can fail morally or doctrinally in the faith incurring God's chastisement on the person, but the person's salvation cannot be undone. A person who is eternally saved will one day face the Judgment Seat of Christ - 2 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 which is not about eternal destiny, but about eternal rewards where the person's works will be evaluated, and tested to determine the gain or loss of eternal rewards. If the person's works stand up to testing, then the person will be granted an eternal reward, but if it fails the test, no reward will be granted, but the person's eternal salvation remains untouched and the person still goes into heaven. Of course, false doctrine like Roman Catholicism, Calvinism/Lordship Salvation, Arminianism which is works based will teach that a person can lose their salvation and go to hell if the Christian fails to "persevere" in their faith to the end. They base their conclusion on faulty interpretation by taking passages in the Bible out of context and by reading "their" theology into the text rather than letting the text determine their theology. There is no assurance of salvation in false doctrine because it is based on their works and they have to wait until the very end after they die to find out whether or not they made it into heaven depending on how well they "persevered".

[@marcodelrossi3243]

Just to add,no where where does it talk about salvation. Paul makes it clear that he is talking about the things that ACOMPANY salvation - inheritance 6vs9. Paul makes it clear that the works will be burnt vs 8 (a clear reference to geneisis and those who labour out of there own strength(Gen 3:18). Paul is using the comparison between old testament repentance(6 vs 1&2) and new testiment repentance(vs 4-6), saying that it is impossible to be restored by your own works - the whole point of this chapter. Its also important to note that if we fall away that Jesus still carries our faith: Luke 22:32 "But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back",strengthen your brothers"

[@sanctifiedbytruth4364]

"Repentance isn't a condition of eternal life. Repentance is a condition for fellowship with God for the person who has strayed". Where in scripture do you get that! My bible says God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance! Repentance is absolutely necessary for salvation. And if you cannot be renewed again to repentance than you are not saved! A husband leaves and cleaves to his wife. We as believers do the same in forsaking our sin of unrighteousness and dead works and cleave to Christ and Christ alone! Repentance is how we leave sin and cleave to Christ. Repentance means thinking differently after receiving the knowledge of the truth. This change of mind is led by God's kindness and is powerful. It causes a person to change their emotions and their actions regarding sins. The sin we once loved we now hate shows we have repented. If a believer falls away to the point where they can no longer hate their sin, they have lost their salvation. You can try to label people like me as "Armenian" if you want to, but I'm just a bible believing Christian. And the Word clearly states a believer can lose their salvation. But Refuse the younger widows, for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry, Having DAMNATION because they CAST OFF THEIR FIRST FAITH(1 Timothy 5:11-12). That's what the Bible teaches. Eternal life is that we may know Him!(John 17:3) The life is in Jesus, who said Himself He is the way, the truth, and the life.(John 14:6) If you depart from Him you will have departed from eternal life. This is why He says to abide in me, or you will be cut off(John 15:6). Eternal life does not merely mean unending life, because the damned have unending life in the lake of fire. Don't darken the light of God's Word. It is the truth, and the truth will set you free. Satan's lie from the beginning is "you will not surely die". Don't speak the same lie of Satan!

I believe there's a difference in Salvation and people falling away from God.I don't believe that we can lose what God done for us on the cross. I do believe that we can get saved and start living for God but then Fall Away. If you fall away and you don't get back to God and get your sins forgiven by Jesus then I don't believe that you can get into heaven. 1st Corinthians 6:9-11, Revelation 21:8, Revelation 21:27, Matthew 7:21-23. you cannot live in sin and do these things and expect to go to heaven. if you fall away or mess up and get out of the will of God then you need to repent and get back to God. Remember The Prodigal Son. I find it really hard to believe that you will still go to heaven if you are living for fleshly lust and willfully sinning all the time and not trying to live for God. God tells us to repent. John 2:1. if you are living in your sin and are not at least trying to repent then how could you ever get into heaven after reading what the Bible says about getting into heaven. God has a standard for his people. 1st Peter 1:15 -16, Matthew 5:48. God wants us to be holy, and to try to be as perfect as we can possibly be, and to try to be sinless.

All examples of when actions separated people from God and salvation is lost. The answer is sincere repentance, renewed faith, and continual following of Jesus’s commandments. This is not salvation via works, as faith is a prerequisite...but all who have true faith will follow the example of Jesus. And when we sin, as we all do, we must sincerely repent and correct our ways. This is what James meant when he says “faith without works is dead.” And Christians who abandon their faith - which can happen, we all know them - have also abandoned salvation.

This passage has nothing to do with the daily sins of a believer. Please study the entire word of God.

"For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, this is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin." -- Hebrews 10:14-18 Either we believe the words of the Holy Spirit of we do not. One sacrifice has made us perfect FOREVER! We do not need another "offering" because the one made 2000 years ago was sufficient and paid for ALL sins! The devil is called the accuser of the brethren for a reason.

Satan is the author of confusion...Amen! The first thing Jesus warned us about regarding these Last Days in Matt 24 was Do Not Be Deceived. Satan still attacks Christians because in Mark 4 about The Parable of the Sower: 4 of them were Believers ...and Then... 3 were not! I make my own Testimonial/Gospel Tracts, because I was deceived for 30 years because I allowed my ears to be tickled while I sinned, so I wanted to share my personal story with you ':0): ~I Was a Homeless, Suicidal, Drug Addicted, Murdering, Gay, Prostitute. As a Teenager I ran away from home and was Kidnapped for 14 months and Used For Sex Trafficking...and No One Even Reported Me Missing! For over 30 years I went to Christian Mega Churches, but I never felt worthy of God's love. I couldn't understand why God continued to save my life! From age 6-50 I was tormented by demonic voices, so I got involved with as many ministries as possible, but that only gave me temporary Relief. Everyone I went to Church with couldn't seem to find any lasting Freedom in their life either, so I Thought that it was Normal to Keep taking 3 steps backward! Satan wants to take as many to Hell as possible, specially Hypocrites that Won't Read or Obey the Bible, so they Willfully Sin. I trusted Preachers Instead of God, not knowing that Most Churches preach on Topics, so that they can Cherry-Pick verses and Twist them! Jesus Vividly described Hell, but they Don’t want to Warn You about that! Instead, most of us have heard these 6 Damnable Lies: 1-If you EVER said a Sinner's Prayer, You're Saved! 2-All of your Future sins are Forgiven, so you Don't have to Repent! 3-We will All Struggle with sin until we Die! 4-God loves you, so Gay is OK. 5-God knows your heart, so He won't send you to Hell. 6-All Religions Lead to God! ~My Life Radically Changed in 2017 when I read the entire Bible for myself! God showed me in 1 JOHN 3:4-10 that when I Willfully sinned, that was Evidence that I was Not a True Believer, and I was headed for Hell! (Vs 9-10 no one who is born of God will continue to send, because God's seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. Tim this is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are. Anyone who does not do what is right is not God's child) To Enter Heaven, God Warns us All How we Are to Live & How we are Not to Live! God gave us All a Free-Will to find out who would Remain Faithful to follow Him with All our Heart, Mind, Soul & Strength...Until We DIE! Friendship with the World makes us an Enemy of God! Glorify God-Not Satan, because the Rainbow is God's Loving Reminder that He Will Destroy the whole world for its sins, but this time with Fire. Once I had a Healthy Fear of God and learned that True Believers Never Willfully Sin, I Stopped Making Excuses for myself & I fully Surrendered Everything! I Realized that Even my Thought Life Would Condemn me to Hell! Once I thoroughly removed Every Unclean things from before my eyes, God Free me from Every Lustful Thought and Sexual Desire! Now I can’t even watch a TV commercial, because its Offends my spirit. If I see something while driving, I will Instantly Repent and think on Whatever is Praiseworthy! Every Year, I'm so Amazed that My Life is Still FREE from ALL WILLFUL SIN! If I had only read the Bible sooner, my life would Not have been Filled with so Many Regrets! Billions of people Believe the Lies and Think they'll go to Heaven. ~ I don't want anyone to go to Hell, but If You Do Not Want To Live For Jesus Now, God Will Not Make You Live With Jesus FOREVER!

[@lilrose726]

@Yelitza hey friend :) I felt compelled to share these verses with you that come from the word of God. We read that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption (rapture and resurrection) - we see this in Ephesians 1:13-14, 4:30. We are sealed. He is the earnest (guarantee) of our inheritance. We see again in 2 Corinthians 1:22 that we are sealed, and that He is the earnest. This is consistent with John 14:16 “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;” “being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭23‬ ‭KJV‬‬ We receive eternal life (spiritually) when we believe. We see this in Ephesians 2. This is by the regeneration performed by the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:4-7). The work on our bodies is completed on the day of the rapture resurrection. Until then, we remain in fleshly bodies with a sinful nature (Galatians 5:17, Romans 8:7, 7:24-25, 1 Corinthians 15:5”). Think about this for a moment. Really consider this. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭23‬ ‭KJV‬‬ If sin could be imputed after salvation, the life could not be eternal. Because the wages of sin is death. Now I don’t condone sinning, we are to walk in the Spirit - but this is a part of our walk, or our discipleship. This is not to be confused with salvation, which is by faith alone - we see this in multiple points in scripture. There are other verses that can appear contrary to this, but that is when they are interpreted out of context. We must rightly divide scripture (2 Timothy 2:15) to ensure accurate understanding. Otherwise scripture will appear to contradict itself - which it shouldn’t, because God cannot lie. Scripture should harmonise always. I hope this is helpful, even liberating and a source of joy to you. Eternal life is eternal life, this is the grace of God. It’s not our works that justify us or make us acceptable to God, it’s the completed work of Christ. We receive forgiveness, redemption, cleansing, justification, sanctification, and reconciliation through the shed blood of Christ (Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:14, Romans 5:9, Ephesians 2:13, 1 Peter 1:18-19, 1 John 1:7, Hebrews 13:12, Matthew 26:28). This is what is acceptable to God, there’s nothing we can do to earn or maintain our salvation - because we cannot achieve sinless perfection. Think about it. Adam and Eve commuted just one sin and that was enough to condemn them - because the wages of sin is death. So it’s either no sin at all, or sin. We can’t achieve that because of our bodies, it’s impossible when we sit down and realistically consider it. I know I can’t be perfect on my own account, I rely on Christ. We cannot contribute to our own salvation, or right standing with God - Jesus paid it all because we couldn’t. Our salvation is eternal, and it’s a free gift received through faith alone, we cannot earn it. There are many false doctrines out there in various denominations that will teach that you have to work for it, or work to keep it. But this is not scriptural. It is a free gift given by God’s grace (out of the kindness and goodness of His heart). Getting saved implies someone else does the saving. If we have to work for it, then “it is finished” is no longer true - it wouldn’t be finished. But the thing is, that it is finished, as Jesus said. All sin has been paid for - all of it. Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Also, did you know it’s not our own righteousness that counts for anything? That’s right, when we are saved, we are imputed with the righteousness of Christ. You don’t get to Heaven by trying to be righteous enough yourself. The believer’s faith is accounted for righteousness (Romans 4:5). “For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬ The believer is imputed with the righteousness of God (Romans 3:22, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Romans 4:22-25). We also see this in Isaiah 61:10: “I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.” See how the Lord is the one who provides the robes and is the one doing the clothing? Just think about the amazing and unfathomable riches of His grace, love and mercy. Our salvation is a free gift (Romans 5, Ephesians 2) 💖 We become spiritually born again, children of God (John 1:12-13). I think this is why it’s vital that our sins are forgiven and we’re cleansed, so that God’s Spirit can in dwell within us - remember that iniquity separates us from God (Isaiah 59:2), sin is an issue that needs to be addressed, and Christ addressed it fully on the cross. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I’m happy to chat further :)

You tied everything together without being overly confusing and the argument actually makes sense since you can tie it into the passage in Hebrews talking about chastisement.

[@robertperez679]

This passage is just saying that a Christian who has believed in Christ once...can not go back and be saved again...because the Christian is saved only once and can not get out of it...once you believe you are stuck going to heaven no matter what you do...a believer can loose his rewards in heaven and here on earth (peace of mind, closeness to God, protection from bad things happening to you etc.)... but never never never go to hell...this scripture is one of those taken so out of context...when God says Ephesians 2 8:9 is the Gospel " For by Grace you are saved through Faith and not of yourselves. It is the gift of God not of works lest any man should Boast. " These believers in Christ had fallen away from serving God...Paul is explaining in this passage that they couldn't go back and be saved again they had to get back to serving...Discipleship (means fellowship with Christ) and it can be lost because it is totally dependent on the believer...but salvation can never be lost once you have Trusted in Christ alone as your personal savior. Not always when the Bible uses the word saved is it always talking about Hell...in many cases it is talking about earthly judgement which is what happens to believers that fall out of line with Christ...but never Eternal punishment...God bless all of you!

Then why does jesus say depart from me I never knew you?

[@robertperez679]

@@vanessadamian5529 Hi Vanessa I am not sure which passage you are talking about since this phrase "Depart from me I never knew you" appears in a few places in scripture...most of the time this passage is quoted though...it is also taken out of the biblical context or meaning of what the bible says...here is an in depth explanation of what this passage means if you are referring to Mathew 7 verse 23: And those who think that you can tell whether a person is a Christian or not by his life often quote the Scripture, “You shall know them by their fruits.” But of whom was Christ speaking when He said, “You shall know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:16)? Verse 15 explains, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You shall know them” (false prophets) “by their fruits.” Christ was telling them how to determine whether a person was a false prophet or not. Please note that you wouldn’t be able to tell they were wolves by looking at them; they were disguised as sheep. Let’s read on. “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them” (Matthew 7:18-20). We can know that these fruits cannot be good works because, continuing in Matthew, Christ said, “Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your Name? And in Your Name have cast out devils? And in Your Name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them I never knew you: depart from Me, you who WORK iniquity” (Matthew 7:22,23). Christ was foretelling of a day in which many erroneously will think they will be spending eternity with Him on the basis of their works. So obviously the fruit is not good works. Christ said, in verse 21, “Not everyone who says unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.” And what is God’s will for the unbeliever? Jesus said, “And this is the will of Him Who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day” (John 6:40). So the reason these people were told to depart is because they thought they were going to spend eternity with God because of what they did; they had never believed on the Son for eternal life. So how can we identify a false prophet? What exactly is the fruit? Christ, Himself, explained, in Matthew 12:33-37, “Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.” Thus I can determine whether a person is a false prophet by his message, not his deeds. In fact, if the way a person lived determined whether he were a Christian or not, then the religious leaders who rejected Christ would be considered Christians. Christ Himself said of the scribes and Pharisees, “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like unto whited sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appears righteous unto men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity” (Matthew 23:27,28). Thus, I repeat, the way I know a person is a Christian is by his words. If a person tells me that he thinks he has to be good to go to heaven, then I know by his words that he is not depending on Jesus Christ to get him there. And the way I can identify a disciple is by his works. Hope this helps...let me know you can e-mail me directly at [e-mail] Peace and Love Rob :)

Anyways, look at these verses that actually speaks on this matter: 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 KJV For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. See? You cannot lose salvation. It's plain and simple that you can lose your rewards, but not your salvation.

If you believe the Lord Jesus then you believe and obey His Words, Commands and Teachings. If you do not obey His Words then you do not believe Him and He is NOT your Lord.

@@jjanbaldwin3219 What did the rich man burning in hellfire tell Abraham holding Lazarus ? Luke 16:30 says he wanted his family to REPENT. In other words, he KNEW why he was in there... he KNEW Abraham and said to tell his family to repent. In other words, he knew repentance was necessary in order for him to be saved from that tormenting place.

I just realized I shared my experience in a previous post, the LOrd Himself warned me of hell and kissing my salvation during a time I was committing fornication. The bible says MANY who say Lord, Lord will be turned away and not only turned away, they will be SHOCKED, that's why they plead with Jesus saying, but didn't we do this Lord? And didn't we do that Lord? But they were workers of sin, iniquity. The bible says we know the Florence between the children of the devil and the children of God. The children of the devil willfully and unrepentant lying sin with no remorse. It's a very dangerous thing to think you can sin all you want and not lose your salvation.

Amen!! Satan is the author of confusion. The first thing Jesus warned us about regarding these Last Days in Matt 24 was Do Not Be Deceived. I make my own Testimonial/Gospel Tracts, because I was deceived for 30 years because I allowed my ears to be tickled while I sinned, so I wanted to share my personal story with you ':0): ~I Was a Homeless, Suicidal, Drug Addicted, Murdering, Gay, Prostitute. As a Teenager I ran away from home and was Kidnapped for 14 months and Used For Sex Trafficking...and No One Even Reported Me Missing! For over 30 years I went to Christian Mega Churches, but I never felt worthy of God's love. I couldn't understand why God continued to save my life! From age 6-50 I was tormented by demonic voices, so I got involved with as many ministries as possible, but that only gave me temporary Relief. Everyone I went to Church with couldn't seem to find any lasting Freedom in their life either, so I Thought that it was Normal to Keep taking 3 steps backward! Satan wants to take as many to Hell as possible, specially Hypocrites that Won't Read or Obey the Bible, so they Willfully Sin. I trusted Preachers Instead of God, not knowing that Most Churches preach on Topics, so that they can Cherry-Pick verses and Twist them! Jesus Vividly described Hell, but they Don’t want to Warn You about that! Instead, most of us have heard these 6 Damnable Lies: 1-If you EVER said a Sinner's Prayer, You're Saved! 2-All of your Future sins are Forgiven, so you Don't have to Repent! 3-We will All Struggle with sin until we Die! 4-God loves you, so Gay is OK. 5-God knows your heart, so He won't send you to Hell. 6-All Religions Lead to God! ~My Life Radically Changed in 2017 when I read the entire Bible for myself! God showed me in 1 JOHN 3:4-10, that when I Willfully sinned, that was Evidence that I was Not a True Believer, and I was headed for Hell! To Enter Heaven, God Warns us All How we Are to Live & How we are Not to Live! God gave us All a Free-Will to find out who would Remain Faithful to follow Him with All our Heart, Mind, Soul & Strength...Until We DIE! Friendship with the World makes us an Enemy of God! Glorify God-Not Satan, because the Rainbow is God's Loving Reminder that He Will Destroy the whole world for its sins, but this time with Fire. Once I had a Healthy Fear of God and learned that True Believers Never Willfully Sin, I Stopped Making Excuses for myself & I fully Surrendered Everything! I Realized that Even my Thought Life Would Condemn me to Hell! Once I thoroughly removed Every Unclean things from before my eyes, God Free me from Every Lustful Thought and Sexual Desire! Now I can’t even watch a TV commercial, because its Offends my spirit. If I see something while driving, I will Instantly Repent and think on Whatever is Praiseworthy! Every Year, I'm so Amazed that My Life is Still FREE from ALL WILLFUL SIN! If I had only read the Bible sooner, my life would Not have been Filled with so Many Regrets!

Faith in Jesus is the foundation of our righteousness, nothing else. This doesn't mean that we will love sin....between saying we "can" sin and saying we "can live in" sin are two different things. We "can" means that we hate sin, but are sometimes mistaken, and the real sign of true faith is repentance when you sin.... David....repented..He had been with God, but he could sin....and when he learnt of his sin, he repented, that is the true sign of a regenerate man, not sinless perfection while in the flesh.

Anyone who believes salvation can be lost does not believe God for his promise of eternal life. Salvation is believing God, not obeying God with our actions. Once you are a child of God you remain a child of God. Just because a child misbehaves does this mean his mother disowns him and declared he's no longer her child? God forbid.

I Cor. 3:10-15. The key word is "reward". As he said, it is about judgment for sons. In paralel about lost son, father did not receive dirty, ugly and stinking son, but gave him clothes for celebration. When we live holly live in sanctification and examin our heart if we wait for the day of His coming, we will receive reward ( celebrating wedding of the Lamb and His Bride). Like 5 virgins waiting with spare oil. They said to other 5, they shoud go and buy. Buying means pay price.

The born again person or saved one cannot lose his salvation, for salvation is an eternal gift. But if he enters into unrepentant sin he loses righteousness and enters again into unrighteousness. Once saved always saved, but not necessarily always righteous. (I John 1:9) "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (Matthew 13:41-43) "The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father..." Also Ezekiel 18:20-32. God bless.

[@fahrenheitadjuster7309]

@@daveg7970 Brother Dave, no contradiction but simply a common matter of semantics. Jesus says in Matthew 13:41 "... his kingdom ..." meaning God's kingdom. This is referring to the born again believer who is involved in offense and iniquity. Salvation cannot be revoked, but Righteousness is maintained daily by our godly thoughts, words, deeds. I John 1:8,9 "... If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." This is written to the believers who have sinned and need to confess and repent of that sin to be cleansed from that unrighteousness. Bless you in Jesus' name. Peace and Love to you and yours.

If one cannot loose our salvation then when Jesus said in the book of Revelation that our name CAN be blotted out of the book of life. If we can't loose our salvation, according to some people, then who was Jesus referring to about your name been erased from the book of life? To my understanding of the Word of God only the names on that book is referring to saved people. As far as I know no unbiliever's names are found in this book. Clearly The Lord makes it very plain that if you turn away from Him,by definition you're lost. This makes reference to all His followers I say this because people try to say that Jesus was referring to Israel and that's not so. So yes, it is very possible to loose your salvation.

Salvation is an event, not a process...

[@TheSwords99]

Exactly. It's a one time deal that occurs the moment we believe in Jesus and His blood sacrifice.

[@TheJeanette99]

Thank you. i will use those words my friend.

[@johannmeiring4208]

No my friend, its a process. Have been saved, we are being saved, we will eventualky be saved.

[@DragoDumpling]

@@johannmeiring4208 what part of IT IS FINISHED don't you understand? Those are Jesus' words by the way after he died for our sins. He paid it all. Accept his gift of salvation. It ain't about you!

[@hfufoemm]

There once was a pastor that was tempted to run off with another woman. Another pastor tried to talk him out of it. He went to see him and there was NOTHING he could do to change his mind. This is what that verse means. There was nothing he could say to change his mind. His mind was made up. It was impossible to change his mind. "Impossible to renew them to repentance" NOT lose their salvation. If you sin, willfully or unintentionally and were genuinely saved before you did that, then you cannot lose your salvation. You will lose rewards, not your salvation. To lose your salvation is to say that you must do or not do something in order to keep it. "Never perish" means never...not my words, Jesus's. I wish people would not twist scripture. How could you ever be happy if you never knew if you would make it to heaven? You couldn't. Imagine telling someone about a God who will save you but then "You better be good and not willfully sin or you will slip out of His grasp and go to hell!" Why would they even try? I wish people would just interpret the scripture correctly. Do you not listen to the Holy Spirit and are able to discern truth. The Holy Spirit would tell you that Jesus is enough. It is NOT Jesus + "not willfully sinning" or "behaving". This guy is correct is the fact that you cannot lose your salvation. Spreads the good news. :)

[@5winder]

So, you think you can do whatever you want and remain saved? You're in trouble if you really believe that, and/or you just haven't been born again... and there are no 'rewards' in Hell. When (if?) you receive the Holy Spirit, you won't WANT to sin, but you might... and it will grieve you. If you choose to ignore that pang of conscience (Jesus), then your heart is hardened against the Lord. After a certain tipping point, there's no going back. This is the falling away. If you don't already, I pray you come to know your savior before you die. And then persevere in the faith until the end. Maranatha!

[@tonekenny5225]

Repentance is ESSENTIAL for salvation.

[@torontobiblestudy]

@Redeemed Repent or "metanoia" means changing one's mind.

[@torontobiblestudy]

Repentance in the NT Greek means changing one's mind "metanoia."

[@jesusbride3038]

I am really confused. On the one hand, "once saved, always saved" seems right to me. On the other hand it seems also right to me that you can lose your salvation. But I wonder: If you can lose your salvation, when will you lose it? After how much time of sinning do you lose your salvation? How many times someone can sin before losing his salvation? How will we know if we have lost our salvation? If we have lost our salvation, can we become saved again? Does it mean we can be now saved, next week "unsaved" and after repenting one month later saved again? Will our life be like this: saved, unsaved, repentance, saved, unsaved, repentance and so on?? If we lie for example and don't say sorry to God after we have lied, do we become "unsaved"? Please, if someone could help me to understand this and answer my questions. That would be really nice.

[@sonne2351]

Hi Meltem, are you confused after the explanation given? I found it a little hard to digest too. May I offer you my view/explanation? If the answer is no, than just ignore the rest of this text ;) I am no scholar and I keep it simple void of theology as I have found God is very practical! God says he is LOVE, he also said he does not change! We know for sure we change all the time usually because we are unsure and confused, hence we change our mind and behaviour. I used to have anxiety attacks because of all the confusion in my head. Because I wanted to know Gods word and everyone had a different interpretations. After 30 years of being a Christian I finally gave God an ultimatum (I don't suggest to anyone they should talk to God like that, but God was kind enough to understand my yearning behind that ultimatum, which was to know him) I said: If you don't tell me what this is all about, then we are done! I will separate from you. I'am so confused. I was crying my heart out could hardly contain myself. 2 min. later I walked by a homeless man and without prompting he got up and said to me: Do not loose your faith! You can imagine that my jaw dropped and I thought now I really lost my marbles and if anyone would have given me this testimony I would have dismissed them! And he said it again. Do not loose your faith! I shut up, stopped crying and kept walking. I was quiet for quite some time. But then gradually things changed. God put people of faith into my path, literally I got promptings to read books (often only providing one little clue to the big puzzle). It has been 5 years since. You would not believe the things I have seen, learned and most importantly the miracles and blessings I have received from God in spite of my sins. Because God is LOVE he is faithful to us even when we are not! He did not just send his son because I loves us dearly, but continues to go to extreme lengths to woe each and everyone of us! This is not an excuse to sin, but you can also sin and not even know it. Important is that you always believe and trust in him regardless of the circumstances and it does take years sometimes for prayers to be answered and changes to take place. But God LOVES you and he is not a dead god, and as long as you trust him to be who he promised you/us to be you may fall but he will help you up again. Your only concern is to keep on that path, don't let anyone confuse you! If I may say one last thing this is important! When you fall do not condemn yourself! Be convicted meaning when you fall acknowledge it, and literally speak out an apology to God for the specific thing you have done (no generalizations) grovelling is not required. Even if it happens again continue on and believe and trust in him, ultimately with his help you will succeed! Thanks for allowing me to share ;)!!!

[@jesusbride3038]

***** Hi, thank you very much for writing this long essay (although I don't agree with everything you wrote). I hope we will meet in heaven very soon. God bless you too!

[@sonne2351]

Meltem D. Sorry Meltem, but now I am confused. Where did you get the idea that God has something against sickness? Did Jesus not heal the sick??? Unless that sickness is related directly to a crime I have no idea where you would get that idea from. Or is there something else that you are really concerned about? If that is the case I would bring it before God and ask him for his help. If you are in the US and can't find a doc to help you why not try reaching out to Dr. Phil or The Doctors show. It is not my intention to be callus or uncaring that is not the case! My matter of fact response is because I care a lot, but if it is one thing I have learned these past few years brutal honesty with God is the key, that will also give you peace of mind which is what you need when you are sick! I know because I have been there myself. I do wish you to get well, but I wish you to get well all over. If you allow me I will pray for you, my prayer request will be that you would first and foremost find the trust in God to be honest with him, the rest follows. In case you wonder I do not pray for everyone and I don't pray for someone unless I have their permission. The only exceptions are my enemies as God was very clear on that! ;) Pastors/Teachers that deal with healing are: Joyce Meyer I found her very helpful for my self pity issues Graham Cooke's excellent teachings about identity and spiritual lens are two of my very favourite of his!

[@jesusbride3038]

Stephanie Sonnemann Hi Stephanie, thank you for answering. I know, my problem is really confusing. I am somehow afraid that God will send me to hell because I couldn't find a doctor to treat me. I am afraid that it is my fault if I die and that God will see it as suicide. Maybe my thoughts are really wrong. I think I am honest with God, I tell him everything. Yes, I allow you to pray for me, that would be really nice of you.

[@sonne2351]

Meltem D. Hi Meltem, will be happy to pray for you. ;)

[@shiphrahhopeful]

"repentance isn't a condition for eternal life"? What??? Why did Jesus command the Apostles to preach "REPENT"? *“I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.”* Lk.15:7 Why is there joy in heaven when a sinner stops sinning if it isn't a condition for eternal life? Jesus taught: “Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and *if he repent, forgive him.* And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.” Lk.17:3-4. Here Jesus said that if a man sins against us, we should rebuke him. And if he repents, then we should forgive him. In other words, *IF he repents of the SIN then he should be forgiven*. *“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.”* Prov. 28:13. Forsaking sin is clearly a condition to receiving God's mercy. “John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of *repentance for the remission of sins.*” Mark 1:4 John taught that REPENTANCE REMITS SINS! “And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins” Lk. 3:3 “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord” Acts 3:19. God does not simply want man to repent of unbelief, but of all sin. In the Bible, *repentance is often applied to man and sin,* in which case it means to change your mind *about sinning*. When it is used in connection to sin, it also means to change your mind about your *future actions*, as you determine to *sin no more*, while also a change of mind about *what you have already done...* “Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; *Repent*, and *turn yourselves from your idols*; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.” Eze. 14:6 “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. *Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions*; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.” Eze. 18:30 “Repent therefore *of this thy wickedness*, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.” Acts 8:22 “Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they *repent of their deeds*.” Rev. 2:22. Therefore if the DO REPENT OF THEIR DEEDS, they will NOT be punished. “And I gave her space to *repent of her fornication*; and she repented not.” Rev. 2:21 “And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet *repented not of the works of their hands*, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk” Rev. 9:20 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they *repented not to give him glory*.” Rev. 16:9 “And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not *of their deeds*.” Rev. 16:11

Idk about this, whenever the bible talks about burning it most of the time means hell.

[@Jillian1stJohn3-9-10]

Amen. Satan is the author of confusion. The first thing Jesus warned us about regarding these Last Days in Matt 24 was Do Not Be Deceived. I make my own Testimonial/Gospel Tracts, because I was deceived for 30 years because I allowed my ears to be tickled while I sinned, so I wanted to share my personal story with you ':0): ~I Was a Homeless, Suicidal, Drug Addicted, Murdering, Gay, Prostitute. As a Teenager I ran away from home and was Kidnapped for 14 months and Used For Sex Trafficking...and No One Even Reported Me Missing! For over 30 years I went to Christian Mega Churches, but I never felt worthy of God's love. I couldn't understand why God continued to save my life! From age 6-50 I was tormented by demonic voices, so I got involved with as many ministries as possible, but that only gave me temporary Relief. Everyone I went to Church with couldn't seem to find any lasting Freedom in their life either, so I Thought that it was Normal to Keep taking 3 steps backward! Satan wants to take as many to Hell as possible, specially Hypocrites that Won't Read or Obey the Bible, so they Willfully Sin. I trusted Preachers Instead of God, not knowing that Most Churches preach on Topics, so that they can Cherry-Pick verses and Twist them! Jesus Vividly described Hell, but they Don’t want to Warn You about that! Instead, most of us have heard these 6 Damnable Lies: 1-If you EVER said a Sinner's Prayer, You're Saved! 2-All of your Future sins are Forgiven, so you Don't have to Repent! 3-We will All Struggle with sin until we Die! 4-God loves you, so Gay is OK. 5-God knows your heart, so He won't send you to Hell. 6-All Religions Lead to God! ~My Life Radically Changed in 2017 when I read the entire Bible for myself! God showed me in 1 JOHN 3:4-10, that when I Willfully sinned, that was Evidence that I was Not a True Believer, and I was headed for Hell! To Enter Heaven, God Warns us All How we Are to Live & How we are Not to Live! God gave us All a Free-Will to find out who would Remain Faithful to follow Him with All our Heart, Mind, Soul & Strength...Until We DIE! Friendship with the World makes us an Enemy of God! Glorify God-Not Satan, because the Rainbow is God's Loving Reminder that He Will Destroy the whole world for its sins, but this time with Fire. Once I had a Healthy Fear of God and learned that True Believers Never Willfully Sin, I Stopped Making Excuses for myself & I fully Surrendered Everything! I Realized that Even my Thought Life Would Condemn me to Hell! Once I thoroughly removed Every Unclean things from before my eyes, God Free me from Every Lustful Thought and Sexual Desire! Now I can’t even watch a TV commercial, because its Offends my spirit. If I see something while driving, I will Instantly Repent and think on Whatever is Praiseworthy! Every Year, I'm so Amazed that My Life is Still FREE from ALL WILLFUL SIN! If I had only read the Bible sooner, my life would Not have been Filled with so Many Regrets! Billions of people Believe the Lies and Think they'll go to Heaven. ~ I don't want anyone to go to Hell, but If You Do Not Want To Live For Jesus Now, God Will Not Make You Live With Jesus FOREVER! ~ "KZbin Log" MIKAYLA KOOPER talks about How to live a life that is Fully Surrendered to God.

Silvannas Mckenzie "then enduring to the end doesn't matter." I assume you are referencing this verse. Matt 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Read the 6 verses prior to this. This is specifically talking about the end times. This verse is speaking about Christians who survive the great tribulation, in the end, will be saved. In fact, even the Christians who die, will be saved, but this verse is specifically talking about those people who survive the end times, and are saved.

[@best547]

Chad Daniels referencing this verse...? There are many people out there preaching error (sharing error) and those who don't read their Bible for themselves (with understand) will be lead away with such false doctrine.

[@cmdaniels1986]

Silvannas Mckenzie Do you believe you are Saved because of how well you obey the commandments? Salvation comes from believing in Christ alone for Salvation. Once you are born again, we are to show our love for Christ by our good works, and repent of our sins. But when you say "We have to endure to the end to be saved", you make it sound like we will only be saved if we keep living by a certain moral code. This undoes the blood of Christ, and makes it a works-based Salvation. Because of our prideful nature, it's tough to put all of our faith in Christ, but that is how we are saved. If you deny this man's teachings, you are denying the simple Gospel that we are saved by grace through faith, APART from any good works of the the law (following the commandments). I showed you how you took that verse out of context, and it's dangerous to look at one verse on it's own. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@blackeroni]

Chad Daniels yeah, i heard that faith alone salvation ends after the rapture or somethings. Seem the terms of salvation depend entirely on when the rapture takes place.

Sorry Pal, your Salvation is not maintained by how many works your perform, or how many sins you commit. It's a free gift. God will deal with those believers who have become carnal. He will Chastise them, and discipline them.

You can get it back if your convicted by your falling away and repent. No one comes to God unless the spirit draws him.

Glen Swain Who told you that? Read the parable of The Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32). That straying son chose to live a life of sin. He severed his relationship with his father. And even though his birth right as a son is still there, yet he was disinherited. We as Christians are the same. Because of our freedom of will, we can choose to do whatever we want with it, but only not to use this freedom to indulge in sin as we are being warned in the epistle (see Galatians 5:13).

There can be many interpretations of any verse. This simply shows that most people are wrong in their understanding of the verse. The plain reading of those verses states that believers can fall away. So listen to what he says: “It’s impossible that a person can fall away because…”. So basically let’s forget what the scripture plainly states and just say that it’s impossible that a person can lose everlasting life. The way we can understand how a person can be promised everlasting life AND possibly fall away WITHOUT explaining anything away AND learning how to harmonize plain statements is if we see this issue from the point of view of a man and woman during a period of engagement. The man promises to provide for their marriage, to always love her, protect her, etc. He will keep true to his promise based on the underlying condition that the woman remain faithful during the period of engagement. If she goes and has a sexual encounter with another man during that time period that she has forfeited all the future promises. The marriage won’t occur. The man is not breaking his promise because, as is clear to everyone who gets engaged, those promises are made with the unspoken condition that she remain faithful. In like manner, God's promise is conditioned upon our remaining faithful to Christ. This is the point of all the warning passages….remain faithful. THe speaker outrightly rejects what is plainly stated because he doesn’t understand that we don’t have everlasting life at this point. Everlasting life is only given AFTER Jesus returns and then we are changed to be like him. The reason that he doesn’t understand is that he rejects the plain words of Jesus and the apostle’s teaching that repentance is absolutely required for salvation: “REPENT or you will perish.” and “Repent AND be baptized FOR the forgiveness of sins.” Free grace is basically a damnable heresy. Hebrews 6:4-6 is not a warning about losing fellowship with God but losing eternal life because repentance IS a requirement for eternal life. The clear statement that this is about salvation and not losing fellowship is because to repent a second time would be to crucify Jesus a second time. The speaker is exposing that he doesn't even understand what the verses are plainly stating. He's completely rejecting what is being plainly stated in verse 8. The burning is used as an example of a believer who has forsaken their faith and is being discarded forever. There is nothing in these verses that it has anything to do with losing fellowship - that is simply a made up view so as to keep some version of once saved always saved.

+John Gilhuis Paul was exhorting the Philippians to "work out" the salvation that they already possessed to prevent spiritual atrophy/stagnancy. Paul was not saying to do good works or that the presence of good works is the "evidence" that they were saved, or to maintain their salvation from "slipping away", but Paul was exhorting them to NOT slack off or be missing in action in the faith because of his physical ABSENCE. Paul was their mentor in the faith and he was genuinely concerned about their spiritual growth in his absence as well.

If you lead a life of unrepented sin, youWIL LOSE your salvation. One time after I was saved, I got involved in a relationship where I was committing fornication. One day as my boyfriend an I just finished having sex, the LOrd spoke to me so clearly. First of all I felt His presence and I knew He had just witnessed everything we did. He then gave me a word in my spirit called reprobate, this word continued to repeat itself louder and louder. I did not know what this word meant so I looked it up in the dictionary, this is what it means, someone fallen from grace, someone on their way to hell,a sinful person, a lewd person a filthy person. I got scared and I cried out to God. That night I fell asleep and in the morning when I woke up a new word came into my spirit,c it was retroceder which I didn't know what it meant, it was in Spanish, it means, TURN BACK.....GO BACK and start over, the LOrd made it so clear to me. He gave me another word asufre which in Spanish it means sulpher and He told me the phrase lake of fire. God out of His great love and mercy gave me this message and pulled me out of the fire and helped me and convicted me. I dropped that relationship and He told me at another time NEVER TAKE SIN LIGHTLY, and that's what I was doing,. This is a Gods honest honest experience,, I have no reason to lie. Jesus does not want us to go to he'll, if you are sinning right now, stop it immediately, we need to have a holy hatred of sin the way God does and flee from sin especially sexual sins the bible makes this clear. Do not take sin lightly, don't be the dog that returns to its vomit or the pig that after being washed goes back to the mud, if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out, it is better to enter heaven with one eye then for the whole body to be thrown in he'll if this experience I had can help just one of you all then it is worth it to write this to you knowing many will Mock me and accuse me of lying. Don't listen to these lying preachers with their doctrines of demons leading millions to he'll by telling them you can sin all u want and can't lose your salvation. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of God because you trampled on the Blood of Jesus by taking advantage of His mercy and grace and making the Blood of the cross a common thing. Be ye Holy for I am Holy the bible says. The Lord bless you all, and if you have any questions you can message me. I've had many experiences with the Lord in my life.

[@wtom04]

+Antoinette Ventola I read both your comments, but I disagree with your belief that eternal life can be lost if a Christian willfully sins. If a Christian uses grace as a license to sin with the attitude of impunity, then God will punish the Christian as a wake up call to straighten up and fly right and other unpleasant consequences will occur. God may terminate the willfully sinning Christian's PHYSICAL LIFE - 1 John 5:16-17, BUT loss of eternal life is NEVER one of the consequences. All saved Christians works in this life, whether good or bad, including the way they lived their lives here will be evaluated and tested with the fire of Christ's scrutiny at the Judgment Seat of Christ - 2 Corinthians 5:9-10, 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 to determine the gain or loss of ETERNAL REWARDS. If saved Christians lived carnally in this life, consisting of fornication, excessive pleasure, partying in excess - things that have no eternal value symbolized in 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 as wood, hay, and stubble, then their works will not pass the fiery test of Christ's scrutiny and be burned up and be denied ETERNAL REWARDS, BUT THEY WILL STILL BE ETERNALLY SAVED and enter heaven - 1 Corinthians 3:15. You have to remember that eternal life is a FREE GIFT from God, and NOT of works - Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3:20, Romans 3:28, Romans 4:2-5, Romans 9:32, Romans 11:6, Galatians 2:16, Galatians 2:21, Galatians ch.3, Titus 3:5. The free gift of eternal life is granted instantly at the very moment of faith/belief in Christ and His FINISHED WORK on the cross and the person is eternally saved right then and there, BUT NOTHING CAN UNDO IT - John 5:24, John 10:28-29, Romans 8:38-39. Even if a Christian fails both morally and doctrinally and loses faith will not undo eternal salvation - 2 Timothy 2:13. On the other hand, if saved Christians lived obediently and faithfully in this life doing things that have eternal value, symbolized in 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 as gold, silver, and costly stones, then their works will pass the fiery test of Christ's scrutiny and be granted ETERNAL REWARDS. 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 - 10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a REWARD. 15 If it is burned up, THE BUILDER WILL SUFFER LOSS, BUT YET WILL BE SAVED-even though only as one escaping through the flames.

My comment - Has it ever occurred to you that the supposed "Holy Spirit" that revealed these things to you is a lying spirit of Satan that is masquerading as the Holy Spirit? Decades ago, when my mother noticed a lump in her breast that caused her concern, she told her friends that she had an encounter with a "spiritual being" in her dream telling her that the lump was "not cancerous". She felt comfort for a while, but then the lump got bigger and her friends encouraged her to go see a doctor to have it biopsied. She would not listen, but kept insisting that the spiritual being that she encountered in her dream was an "angel of God" telling her the truth. Later, the lump started getting bigger and her friends persisted in persuading her to go see a doctor to have it biopsied. She finally did, and the laboratory report came back to the doctor verifying that the breast lump was a MALIGNANT CANCER. Had my mother not gone to the doctors, but continued to rely upon that lying spiritual beings advice, my mother would have died. It was finally obvious that at that point that my mother finally realized that the supposed "angel of God" was a lying spirit of Satan that wanted the worst for her. It is obvious that YOU lack SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT and you are relying upon your feelings and an encounter with a "Holy Spirit" that may not even be the real Holy Spirit. I noticed that in your comments that you NEVER quote any Scripture. That is very revealing to me. 1 John 4:1 - Dear friends, DO NOT BELIEVE EVERY SPIRIT, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 -14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.

I know the voice of the Holy Spirit and I don't follow any other...From the moment I was baptized Jesus has come to me and revealed many things to me and I know His voice, only satan would say you can sin all you want and live like the devil and still go to heaven. There is no talking to people who believe like you do, because the belief is satanic in nature and only through someone praying for you and even fasting for you will you come to the truth. So I will pray for you. There is no heaven without holiness.

Amen! That's right. Faith alone in Christ alone justifies! John 5:24, John 6:47, Ephesians 2:8-9, Acts 16:30-31. Our works should be a natural by-product of our faith. Our works will earn eternal rewards in heaven and our continuing perseverance will earn the special privilege of reigning with Christ.

[@na-zu2ey]

I agree with this but instead of saying our works should be a natural by-product of our faith, I would say we have a responsibility to make sure they are. The Holy Spirit doesn’t do our obeying for us; we must choose to submit. We must count the cost of following Christ. It will not always be easy. It is a cross to bear.

[@wtom04]

@@na-zu2ey However, if we choose not to submit to Christ, we are still saved as salvation is a free gift that is not of our works - Romans 4:2-6, Romans 3:20, Romans 3:28, Romans 9:31-32, Romans 10:4, Romans 11:6, Galatians 2:16, Galatians 2:21. Salvation is absolutely FREE, but discipleship is costly. However, discipleship is not imperative for salvation as the false doctrine of Calvinism/Lordship Salvation teaches. In the 2 accounts of the man who was demon possessed in Luke 8:26-39 and Mark 5:1-20 by many demons where Jesus cast all the demons out of him and he became saved, that man clearly wanted to FOLLOW JESUS and be His disciple and MAKE JESUS HIS LORD, BUT Jesus made it clear to him that "following Him" and "making Him Lord" is not imperative for salvation. These 2 accounts debunk Calvinism/Lordship Salvation's false teaching that one cannot be saved unless they make Jesus the "Lord of their lives" and "follow Him." Luke 8:38-39 - 38 The man from whom the demons had gone out BEGGED TO GO WITH HIM, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him. Mark 5:18-20 - 18 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed BEGGED TO GO WITH HIM. 19 Jesus did not let him, but said, “GO HOME to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” 20 So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.

Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that LABOR and are HEAVY LADEN, and I will give you REST. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is EASY, and my burden is LIGHT. Matthew 11:28-30 is in essence the simplicity and truth of the Free Grace gospel of John 3:16/1 Corinthians 15:1-4 on how to get saved. The exact opposite of Matthew 11:28 is the below in which Jesus describes the Calvinism, Arminianism, and all works based salvation ideology of His time. Calvinism/Lordship Salvation, Arminian/Lordship Salvation and all works based false gospels cannot save, but put people in bondage and slavery to works, works, works. The yoke of the false doctrines of Calvinism, Arminianism, Roman Catholicism, Mormonism, etc, is obviously NOT easy or light as they front load/back load works into the salvation equation creating a damning gospel that gives no assurance of salvation. Matthew 23:13 - "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. Luke 11:46 - Jesus replied, "And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them. Acts 15:10-11 - Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? 11“But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are.” Matthew 23:4 - They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. Galatians 5:1 - Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the YOKE OF BONDAGE. Galatians 3:10-11 - 10 FOR ALL WHO RELY ON THE WORKS OF THE LAW ARE UNDER A CURSE, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” 11 CLEARLY NO ONE WHO RELIES ON THE LAW IS JUSTIFIED BEFORE GOD, BECAUSE THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH.

@@wtom04 His yoke is easy because when we are born again, it is our pleasure to do his will. To disobey him would be more burdensome to a lover of Christ. His “rest” is to delight in doing his will, and to turn away from doing our pleasure. This was the purpose of the Sabbath day, and now is the rest we are continually in in Christ. Galatians 5:6 says that “faith *working* through love” is the only thing that counts for anything. We are not saved by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus. It is important to know that there is a difference between works of the law, and righteous works. These are the works we are to complete in the Spirit, and if they occurred without our determination we would not be instructed to use our freedom to carry them out (Galatians 5:13). The Holy Spirit works with our cooperation only; God does not force us to obey. We must in our freedom, choose to obey. Jesus taught us that we must eat his flesh and drink his blood, and that if we do not take up our cross and follow him, we are not worthy of him. There is work to do.

1 Cor 15:1 Now I would remind you, BROTHERS, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you-unless you believed in vain. Col 1:22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister. Heb 3:12-14 Take care, BROTHERS, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? Unless indeed you fail to meet the test! Rom 11:17-24 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree. 1Jn 2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: Eph 5 (Paul writing to the church) But AMONG YOU, as is proper among the saints, there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or crude joking, which are out of character, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure, or greedy person (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Gal 5:16-21 But I say, (Paul, writing to the church) walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I WARN YOU, AS I WARNED YOU BEFORE, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Notice Paul does not say in the above passages the unbeliever will not enter the kingdom of heaven, this is already a given fact. Paul is warning the church. Paul says to the church: DO NOT BE DECEIVED, But AMONG YOU, I WARN YOU, AS I WARNED YOU BEFORE that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Luke 13:2-5 But umless you repent, you will all likewise perish.

Can you please answer I’d you see this comment. Thank you and Hod bless

[@wtom04]

@@dawnalaia9984 I was also born again at the age of 19 many decades ago, but roughly a year later I also fell away into unbelief out of anger, discouragement, and disillusionment for 9 long years where I lived in sin and rebellion against God, but God chastised me to bring me back to fellowship with Him and here I am today. This was 30 years ago, but God has been gracious to me ever since. I was clearly a Luke 8:6/Luke 8:13 Christian. The above Scriptural passages by "heymichaelc" have all been taken out of context and misapplied from a Calvinist/Lordship Salvation perspective which is false. These passages are very commonly abused and perverted by many false teachers to teach that Christians who fall away in the faith will prove that "they were never saved to begin with" (Calvinist view) or "will lose their salvation and can't get it back." -(Arminian view) However, both views are wrong and are opposite sides of the same coin. Both Calvinism and Arminianism are 2 false doctrines that have permeated all the churches within mainstream Christianity for centuries like a malignant cancer with their false teachings. Even though you fell away for decades, God will take you back with open arms. If you have ever BELIEVED in the past in Christ by faith alone apart from your works, then you are eternally saved. At the very moment of belief/faith you are sealed with the UNBREAKABLE SEAL of the Holy Spirit, so it doesn't matter what you do or don't do down the line. Your fellowship with God will be greatly affected, but not your eternal salvation. The following passages in the Bible verify this: John 5:24 KJV - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is PASSED FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE. Past tense. The free gift of eternal life is a once for all done deal right then and there just like the woman in Luke 7:50 and the thief on the cross in Luke 23:42-43. Absolutely nothing down the line can undo salvation, no matter what the person does or does not do can undo his/her salvation which is an eternal work of God which cannot be reversed. John 10:28-29 KJV - 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall NEVER PERISH, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. Ephesians 1:13 KJV - In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, YE WERE SEALED with that holy Spirit of promise, Romans 8:38-39 KJV - For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, NOR THINGS TO COME, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. 2 Timothy 2:12 -13 KJV - 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not, YET HE ABIDETH FAITHFUL: he cannot deny himself. If saved Christians deny Christ by living in willful sin, disobedience, unfaithfulness, carnality, and rebellion against God, then they will be CHASTISED by God and suffer TEMPORAL JUDGMENT and be denied eternal rewards by Christ at the Judgment Seat of Christ - 2 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Corinthians 3:10-15, but they are still saved. 1 Corinthians 3:15 KJV - If any man's work shall be burned, he shall SUFFER LOSS: BUT HE HIMSELF SHALL BE SAVED; yet so as by fire. Both the false doctrines of Calvinism and Arminianism teach that "enduring", "overcoming", "striving", "abiding" and "remaining faithful" till the end is imperative to attain salvation. That is clearly WORKS SALVATION. They all come to this errant conclusion based upon the following Scriptural passages all taken in isolation and OUT OF CONTEXT and eisegeted, where their own man made philosophical presuppositions are imposed into the text. The below is just a sample of the many passages that are taken out of context and perverted by Calvinism, Arminianism, and all false works based heretics. Matthew 10:33, Matthew 24:13, Mark 8:38, Luke 8:8/Luke 8:15, Luke 9:26, Luke 12:9, Hebrews 6:4-8, Hebrews 10:26-27, Hebrews 10:38-39, John 15:2,6, 1 Corinthians 9:27, 2 Corinthians 13:5, Philippians 2:12, Revelation 3:5.

Amen Tom - 1 Corinthians 15 1-4, Ephesians 1 7 and 2 Corinthians 5 19-21 are the scriptures that we refer to for salvation. Romans to Philemon is our goto Gospel as Paul is the Apostle to the Gentiles and we are to follow Paul's Gospel in order to be saved. The Book of Hebrews is for the Hebrews and is not our Gospel in the dispensation of Grace.

[@theTavis01]

@@dillon6428 you say " For the life of me I cannot understand why man talks himself into going to hell." but then you champion this mentality that you can't lose your salvation ever under any circumstances? How does that make any sense? Are you saying you can talk yourself into hell or not? Even if you have the wedding garment, you can choose under your own will to take off the garment, choose to go to hell just as you said, and many people do that without knowing it and lie to themselves and think it's still on. That's how Adam got kicked out. That's what falling is. You can always repent and put it back on. That's what forgiveness and grace is. Let me give you an extreme example to make my case - Let's say someone is saved by coming to faith in Christ when they are in their twenties. They are doing good and then their beautiful wife leaves them. In their despair they lose faith and they fall pray to a demon than convinces them to start sinning sexually. Pretty soon they've renounced the church and get involved in New Age sex cults, which brings more demons that causes this person to become an actual satanist and for the next 50 years they torture are molest and kill thousands of the "missing" children in our system. They never repent and die while doing some horrible unspeakable sin. If that person is getting into heaven, I'm good. Throw me in the fire. Someone else can have my spot. Not interested. I have faith that God is far too loving and just for things to work like that, and when I look in the bible I see nothing that would suggest otherwise.

You see this one moved away, but God was always faithful, he not moved away an inch. What you are missing is these scriptures, You posted no longer believe in him? 2Timothy 2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. Now the verses I need to show you, Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Ephesians 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. See this Bill, the second you come to Jesus God seals you with the Holy Spirit as Jesus said he would in the Gospel of John, John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. how long are we sealed for? Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Sealed til when? whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 1Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 1Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. No such thing as just walking away, God not only LIVES IN YOU, He also OWNS YOU! So, if God is perfect in all his ways, why isn't the plan of salvation ok to man? If God did it all for man, why does man feel he has to put his two cents in to remain saved? Can you answer this Bill?

[@chainsaw5524]

It is actually really sad that so many people do not know what is "saved". They think it is a state of being. They think it comes in a prayer. They think it is the same as being born again. They think that it means eternal life. So many are so wrong!!! Consider these Bible verses: 1Pe 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Mar 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Jn 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 1Jn 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? Rev_2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. Rev_2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. Rev_3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Rev_21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 1Jn 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. You have your beliefs. You have your doctrines. You think you understand these concepts: Saved, born again, eternal life, gift. Try to harmonize the above verses into you doctrine. Can you? Most Christians can't. Do you think that you are born again? Really? Do you sin? Explain to me 1 John 3:9 and please don't give me your pitiful Romans 3:23 verse to excuse your sin. My point is this. Don't believe your churches doctrine. Most likely it is contrary to the Bible. Does it stand up to the verses that I listed? Probably not. You have been told a lie. You have been lied to about the meanings of these words: Saved, born again, eternal life. You think that you are saved? Maybe, I am not the judge. I am the messenger. Odds are you are deceived. Odds are that you don't even know what it means to be saved. That is so sad.

[@seoulrat3182]

[@chainsaw5524]

Seoul Rat Rather than challenging me, why don't you go back and read my original post again. Do you believe the Bible verses that I quoted. Do you cling to the doctrines of man or do you actually believe what the Bible says?

[@seoulrat3182]

+Jeff Krueger The Bible is ultimate authority. Rather than taking a whole pallet of verses out of context to paint a single doctrine that supersedes every other church's doctrine, why not study all of the verses in context of location, audience, and original language... or just take it to God with a humble heart. Paul wrestled with sin after he was saved. If you believe that you do not sin, you are the one who is deceived.

[@chainsaw5524]

Seoul Rat Sorry for the delay, but I have been away from internet. You say that the Bible is the ultimate authority and I agree. You mention taking verses out of context and I don't. You mention "church's doctrine" of which I could not care less. Did Jesus care about the perverted doctrines of the Jews of his day? Absolutely not, in fact, he made fun of them and insulted them. As for your suggestion of "why not study all of the verses in context of location, audience, and original language... or just take it to God with a humble heart" This, Mr Rat, I do. Rather than trying to judge me, why don't you seek the truth on your own? Why do you trust men? Why do you trust their perverted doctrines? Why don't you answer the question: "what is sin". Most people can't even do that. Most perverted Christians in their perverted churches just want a way to get to heaven and keep living in sin. Are you this perverted Christian? Is this the type of perverted church that you go to? How about explaining to me these verses and justify your sinful behavior: 1Pe 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Mar 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Jn 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 1Jn 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? Rev_2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. Rev_2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. Rev_3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Rev_21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 1Jn 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Like I requested, rather than coming against me, why not explain the error of my thought process concerning these verses? Are you able to do this? You and I know that you can not because we must overcome. Phony Christians don't overcome, they just quote Roman 3:23 and use it as their excuse to keep on sinning and many have this delusion that they will actually go to heaven because they are "saved". These poor deceived lost souls. Are you saved? Really? Do you even know what saved is? You probably don't even know. Most Christians are deceived about this also. There are over two billion people in this world that claim to be Christian. Almost all of them are deceived. Are you one of these deceived phony Christians? Ponder your answer carefully, please, Mr. Rat. This is why Jesus said this: Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Two interpretation, 1)unbelievers rejecting Christ and thereby losing their chance of salvation; 2) the scripture presents the very idea of believers losing salvation as (impossible). Impossible to lose your salvation because you can not be unborn, unadopted, and unsealed. If you walked away completely after receiving the truth you wasn't saved, will possibly become reprobate.

@Hippy(Bboomer) yes I agree. My argument is, salvation is granted whether we " feel it" or not the moment we believe that what Jesus Christ said is indeed true, meaning we believe it's true. Yes I have sinned everyday since I got saved and you Kno what, I still sin! I try walking in the spirit and then I lust over my ex.

Satan is the author of confusion...Amen! The first thing Jesus warned us about regarding these Last Days in Matt 24 was Do Not Be Deceived. Satan still attacks Christians because in Mark 4 about The Parable of the Sower: 4 of them were Believers ...and Then... 3 were not! I make my own Testimonial/Gospel Tracts, because I was deceived for 30 years because I allowed my ears to be tickled while I sinned, so I wanted to share my personal story with you ':0): ~I Was a Homeless, Suicidal, Drug Addicted, Murdering, Gay, Prostitute. As a Teenager I ran away from home and was Kidnapped for 14 months and Used For Sex Trafficking...and No One Even Reported Me Missing! For over 30 years I went to Christian Mega Churches, but I never felt worthy of God's love. I couldn't understand why God continued to save my life! From age 6-50 I was tormented by demonic voices, so I got involved with as many ministries as possible, but that only gave me temporary Relief. Everyone I went to Church with couldn't seem to find any lasting Freedom in their life either, so I Thought that it was Normal to Keep taking 3 steps backward! Satan wants to take as many to Hell as possible, specially Hypocrites that Won't Read or Obey the Bible, so they Willfully Sin. I trusted Preachers Instead of God, not knowing that Most Churches preach on Topics, so that they can Cherry-Pick verses and Twist them! Jesus Vividly described Hell, but they Don’t want to Warn You about that! Instead, most of us have heard these 6 Damnable Lies: 1-If you EVER said a Sinner's Prayer, You're Saved! 2-All of your Future sins are Forgiven, so you Don't have to Repent! 3-We will All Struggle with sin until we Die! 4-God loves you, so Gay is OK. 5-God knows your heart, so He won't send you to Hell. 6-All Religions Lead to God! ~My Life Radically Changed in 2017 when I read the entire Bible for myself! God showed me in 1 JOHN 3:4-10 that when I Willfully sinned, that was Evidence that I was Not a True Believer, and I was headed for Hell! (Vs 9-10 no one who is born of God will continue to send, because God's seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. Tim this is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are. Anyone who does not do what is right is not God's child) To Enter Heaven, God Warns us All How we Are to Live & How we are Not to Live! God gave us All a Free-Will to find out who would Remain Faithful to follow Him with All our Heart, Mind, Soul & Strength...Until We DIE! Friendship with the World makes us an Enemy of God! Glorify God-Not Satan, because the Rainbow is God's Loving Reminder that He Will Destroy the whole world for its sins, but this time with Fire. Once I had a Healthy Fear of God and learned that True Believers Never Willfully Sin, I Stopped Making Excuses for myself & I fully Surrendered Everything! I Realized that Even my Thought Life Would Condemn me to Hell! Once I thoroughly removed Every Unclean things from before my eyes, God Free me from Every Lustful Thought and Sexual Desire! Now I can’t even watch a TV commercial, because its Offends my spirit. If I see something while driving, I will Instantly Repent and think on Whatever is Praiseworthy! Every Year, I'm so Amazed that My Life is Still FREE from ALL WILLFUL SIN! If I had only read the Bible sooner, my life would Not have been Filled with so Many Regrets! Billions of people Believe the Lies and Think they'll go to Heaven. ~ I don't want anyone to go to Hell, but If You Do Not Want To Live For Jesus Now, God Will Not Make You Live With Jesus FOREVER!

Christians cannot 'lose' their salvation, but they can choose to depart from the faith. They can choose to walk away from God. Some say these people weren't saved in the first place. If they depart 'from' the faith, that means they were once 'in' the faith. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils... 1 Timothy 4:1

[@paulgross1931]

My understanding of Hebrews 6 is if they fall away from the faith my understanding of Hebrews 6 is if they fall away from the faith to renew them back to having faith I think that's what it's saying that one so person once believe and was born again and then they no longer believe they have gone to a point where they can't repent anymore you can't bring them back to a point where they would believe again so that's my understanding of it once they've gone so far they they have fallen away from what they believe then and you no longer believe but there is a verse that he / / text them because it says even if they are unfaithful he is faithful he cannot deny himself

[@PETERJOHN101]

Regeneration of the spirit (rebirth) is not salvation. Jesus only refers to salvation in the future tense, so the question isn't whether you can lose your salvation, the question is whether he will find you faithful when he returns. You must endure to be saved. Matthew 24:13.

[@gregstickler3798]

That scripture that says if you endure to the end to me that is the key on the way you will have trouble it won’t be a cruise journey But if you endure to the end The example I see from God is the father and the child If you love your father you will respect and honour and want to please him But if you do something that doesn’t please him are you still his child?the answer yes He will discipline you but you are still his child But if you decide to leave home and have nothing to do with him forever you have brought yourself outside the kingdom

The Bible says: Ezekiel 18:26 When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. Eze 18:27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. Eze 18:28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. Ezekiel 18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

The Book of Hebrews is for the Children of Israel (Jews). It was written before the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem to the Judeo Christians who believed in Jesus Christ as well as the unbelieving Jews. As Gentiles (non Jews), we refer to Paul's Gospel Romans to Philemon as Paul is the Apostle to the Gentiles. 1 Corinthians 15 1-4KJV, Ephesians 1 7KJV and 2 Corinthians 5 19-21KJV are our saving scriptures.

Rightly dividing the word shows that Paul is the apostle of the gospel of grace. He wrote Romans through Philemon. The book of Hebrews is written for Hebrews. These words are for those Jews during the tribulation. Please see bible teachers Richard Jordan, Led Feldick and others who clearly show the proper dispensation of our time.

This passage says if it was possible to lose your salvation, you could never return until Jesus died a second time. So it actually confirms the eternal security of the believer.

[@vikingvixen1776]

A perfect example of this is in the parable that Jesus gave of the prodigal son. He was still a son while in the pig sty of the world. He never lost his household membership and the father was as happy as ever when the son returned to his presence. Though the other brother was ready to condemn him to Hell. Also, Psalm 89 is good place to start in finding out about how God deals with His children who misbehave willfully.

James 5:19 BRETHREN, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; 20 Let him know, that he which converteth the SINNER from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

[@TheFightingSheep]

A good explanation, but unfortunately it's an incorrect one, and one that completely ignores the proper context. Since verse 6:4 begins with a conjunction "for", it can only be properly understood in the context of the preceding verses. The reason why there are so many confused interpretations of Hebrews 6:4-6 is because nobody reads and understands Hebrews 5:12 to 6:3.

How can people believe that we have the free will and choice to come to God and repent, but the same people says once saved always saved...basically what they are saying is; you chose to come to God but once you come, He will force you to stay with him to eternity no matter what...its like they believe once saved you step onto a escalator on that narrow way, and instead of having to walk it, you just ride it into eternity..i cant see that in scripture..im sorry..yes we have promises; He will keep us, protect us, "not let anyone pluck us out of His hand" but it never says we cant decide to turn back, it actually warns about doing so...warns about falling away..warns about deliberately sinning, warns about not being deceived by false teachers and being lead astray to destruction...its your choice to come to God, (As for me, if I am lifted up from the earth I will draw all people to myself. John 12:32) and you have the choice to turn away from him and fall back into your sinful state and youll be worse off than before you knew him...

+jazzy Angel Do you believe that a black man who hates whites or any other race, or a white man who hates blacks or any other race will go to heaven if he falls into that SIN of HATRED and RACISM and continues in it without repenting and asking God to remove that filth from his heart??? OSAS says such a hateful hypocrite will still go to heaven if he was once saved. That is what OSAS implies. if you are once saved, you will go to heaven even if you hate on your fellow human being and segregate them. But Jesus clearly warned his disciples that holding on to UNFORGIVENESS and bitterness will take them to hell (Matthew 18:32-35). John warned that christians who hold on to hatred will not enter heaven (1 John 3:15). It is so amazing and disgraceful to see christians in the United States carrying a bible in their hands and continuing to keep racial hatred in their hearts. Of course OSAS allows them to do that. What every black or white christian in the South of the US should know is that they will NEVER enter heaven if they continue to secretly habour racial hatred in their hearts. OSAS has played a huge role in tolerating, permitting or even fostering racial hatred among christians in the US, something that is a horrible disgrace to the name of Christ.

The Apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians 7:10, "For godly sorrow worketh repentance (metanoia) to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death" however feeling regret or remorse about something you did wrong is only part of it. For example the greek word for repentance is metanoia which means, "a change of mind, as it appears to one who repents, of a purpose he has formed or something he has done." (Note: Lexicon Strong's G3341). In theology, "metanoia" is another word for "repentance." This is the activity of feeling regret for one's actions. It does not indicate just the feeling of regret, but it also includes actively participating in the repentance. The word refers to committing your actions and life to personal change by showing others that you have improved in some way. The term can be used to describe confessing your sins to a religious leader. It can also refer to admitting your guilt and resolving to better yourself to the person who has been wronged in some way. An example from the new testament that demonstrates that metanoia was used in the same sense, is Heb 12:17 which reads: “For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit a blessing, he [Esau] was rejected, for he found no place for metanoia, though he sought it diligently with tears.” I’ve heard it preached that Esau desperately wanted to repent from his sinful behavior, but could not find a way of doing it! But what is it that Esau could not find? He could not find a way of changing his father’s mind. Isaac blessed Jacob instead of Esau and there was no way he was withdrawing that blessing or changing his mind, no matter how Esau pleaded. Therefore how can one better themselves if they do not metanoia? Infact Peter tells us that God's will is that, "all should come to metanoia" (2 Peter 3:9)

[@jacobcockerham5853]

Therefore repentance is not just a once in a life time thing since the human nature is weak in the flesh and will eventually fall away and sin. After all we are not perfect but that doesn't mean we cannot obtain godly perfeciton if it was impossible for us to achieve it God wouldn't expect it from us, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect" (Matthew 5:48). This word perfect does not mean to be flawless or without sin like God that would be impossible and unbiblical. The Greek word found in Matthew 5:48 translated "perfect" means "finished, complete, having reached its end," and implies being fully grown or mature. For example the Apostle Paul describes two different Christians one are "Carnal Christians' and the others are "Spiritual Christians" (1 Corinthians 3:1-3). In this passage, the apostle Paul is addressing the readers as “brethren,” a term he uses almost exclusively to refer to other Christians; he then goes on to describe them as “carnal.” Therefore, we can conclude that Christians can be carnal. The word “carnal” is translated from the Greek word sarkikos, which literally means “fleshly.” The key thing to understand is that while a Christian can be, for a time, carnal, a true Christian will not remain carnal for a lifetime. Some have abused the idea of a “carnal Christian” by saying that it is possible for people to come to faith in Christ and then proceed to live the rest of their lives in a completely carnal manner, with no evidence of being born again or a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). Such a concept is completely unbiblical.

Repentance isn't a condition of eternal life? Acts 2:38 "And Peter said to them, 'Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.'

[@wtom04]

+Josh Stewart The thief on the cross in Luke 23:42-43 was not water baptized, and neither was the woman in Luke 7:50, but in both cases Jesus personally declared to them that they are saved. Luke 23:42-43 - 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, TODAY shalt thou be with me in paradise. Luke 7:50 - And he said to the woman, THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE, GO IN PEACE.

[@joshstewart8732]

@wtom04 - apologies, mightn’t have made my point clear. I was referring less to the means of repentance (I agree Baptism doesn’t equate salvation but I do believe I should be done as a declaration of repentance), but I was making the point that repentance is undeniably connected to salvation and eternal life. Hence the “Repent...in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins...” Also, not denying whatsoever that salvation is a gift of grace, received by faith, not of our works, but works proceed. Something I have wrestled with myself of course. Wayne Grudem unpacks this pretty well in his lecture on free grace theology (which is what this guy seems to be linked with if I’m correct), would recommend if you haven’t seen that. Also, don’t know your convictions here or you personally, not speaking in judgment.
