But then you have to be born again in your soul (mind, will '& emotion), and also you have to be born again in your body, these you have to work for it with fear and trembling. You can go to heaven by just being born in the spirit but then you will go there as a baby Christian - no reward.Being born again in your soul and body require crucifixion of the flesh and this is hard. I often ask God to take me home as a baby Christian, I don't wanna go through trials and tribulation.

God saved the children of Israel out of Egypt, which means that if God saves you, you are really saved. Then He baptized them in the Red Sea. Then, just like us, their faith was tested on their wilderness journey, just like our faith is tested after we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. But they lost their faith, and because of this God did not allow them to enter into the Promise Land. This Promise Land served as an example of Heaven. They could not enter into His rest because of their unbelief. Yes, you are saved when you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jssus is the Son of God, and that He was raise the dead, so now we must work to stay save. For if th e natural child was disinherited, because of unbelief, what more do you think will happen with adopted children. Hebrews warns to be careful that a promise given I to us, that we do not falll short. Jesus did not come to give us free will to sin. He came to show us that no matter what we go through, can through faith and love, make through this journey called life. There was no need to cast out Adam and Eve from the Garden, which really Heaven, if sin were okay. God wants us to make Hime our choice. He set before us Life and Death, please choose life. Even if what we are sayings is wrong, and you follow good and keep the faith, yu will still make it to Heaven, but if the once saved always saved is wrong, you do not realize iit on this side, then you will lift up your eyes in hell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19758489.post-13268558907429393442013-11-10T04:57:01.705-06:002013-11-10T04:57:01.705-06:00We are all sinners before an after we come to jesu...We are all sinners before an after we come to jesus<br />If we try out hardest an live our hardest for God even after we stumble.

Therefore if a person chooses to put their faith in Christ, persevering until the end, those will be saved. But those who once put their faith in Christ, and later fell away, or who are actively participating in none Holy behaviors and actions cannot not be saved. OBEDIENCE DEFINITELY has a part in all of this. Jesus himself said "why do you call me Lord and do not Do what I say" The "do" here implies some kind of work or obedience. Not the works of the law which is what the Jews would've understood by works, but a righteous Holy living. Putting your trust in Christ doesn't just mean that you believed that he died for you or that He is the son of God. Even the demons believe and acknowledge and tremble. Are they saved? No. Christianity has been reduced and watered down to a "don't worry be happy" doctrine. "You are forever saved" is being said by faithless preachers all over. Those who understand the whole counsel of God know how to discern these issues. The real question should be the following: are these who profess to be Christians really born again like Jesus told Nicodemus? If not, they are still dead!

On one hand we are being taught that believers in Jesus cannot lose their salvation and that it is a gift. (We are saved by grace through faith and not works, lest any man should boast) Right? Then on the other hand we are being taught that we can lose our salvation and have our names blotted out of the book of life.

What about Hewrews chapter 6 in reference to repenting unto salvation? Did you miss that one? What about the words "he that overcomes" in Rev 3:5? Who is it that overcomes? It's the one who has faith in Jesus. ONE cannot loose their salvation because salvation is not a thing, it's someone; Jesus (JUDE 24-25). There is a lie coming from Hell but it's not that one is saved and secure. I'm sorry but all the scripture you use and others point to people who only professed a belief in Christ. The book of 1st John (some 38 times) mentions that we might know that we are saved. A whole book devoted to knowing. God bless you and your endeavors.

And those whom He has in His hand, He keeps, and they are verified by the Record in His Book of LIFE, to be revealed at an appointed time. Those who choose to NOT submit to His hand, are blotted out. (with the exception of children and those without the mental capability to choose) Those who are blotted, will have the truth revealed and believe by their sight, and the Book of Life will verify, by the absence of their name, that they are not included to proceed to the 1000 reign with Christ.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your article.<br />God Bless you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19758489.post-53521055972197554372011-10-26T09:02:14.969-05:002011-10-26T09:02:14.969-05:00are you sayING "by cruelty weve been lost thr...are you sayING "by cruelty weve been lost throuh doubt its all of my own doing t is a lie of the god of this world only the result of my works so i can brag about my incredibiliity to overcome my weakness"pastorcurfewhttp://www.slopdellica.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19758489.post-14223772866461425852011-09-05T23:21:42.186-05:002011-09-05T23:21:42.186-05:00First of all, brother, I understand your position ...First of all, brother, I understand your position of people not being saved because of sin or such and such limit of sin. But remeber, we have all fallen short of the glory of God and where by nature children of wrath as Romans plainly states. By saying that keeping my salvation depends on me not sinning , obviously makes it salvation by works and by grace through faith. The gospel of John clearly states that everyone sins, and that he who says hasn´t sin makes himself a liar. That´s why Jesus needed to come, because besides Him we were never gonna get to the father. Paul says in Romans that we will never be justified by works(obedience) of the law, but by placing our faith in the true savior Jesus Christ. By saying that it all depends on not sinning, you´re saying you can reach God without needing Christ, and you can do it by your own efforts. You will always sin, wether it be in word, thought or deed, that´s why it can´t depend on that. Are you gonna be able to defeat the works of the devil most of the time? Yes. But once in a while a little one of those bad guys will come up. Is one sin more horrifying than another one just becuase of how our natural minds grasp it? No. The bible says, all sin is the same, there´s no difference between lying and stealing and an unrighteous thought of anger. We´ve all fallen short.

It's time for us to share the Word and warn those who are also "foolish" to become born again of His Spirit. Billions are in danger due to "religion".

We were given a freewill nature as exhibited in the Garden of Eden and while God was able to keep man there, man couldn't keep himself due to his disobedience. The same with salvation and following Christ. The doctrines you mentioned are all wonderful doctrines and I'm aware of each, but when God blots a name out of the book of life as mentioned above, he does it because man has gone to far into sin to be one of his, and that can only be fully determined between Christ and man because we know we can come freely to him for forgivness. That's why he told the church in Philidelphia, "Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown." Revelation 3:11 Again, he also gave the condition th the following promise in John 10:28, " And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." it is in the preceeding verse 27, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:" So, if we follow him, he CAN AND WILL keep us.

If he cannot keep you saved, than who says he can save you at all. What is redemption, justification, propitiation, eternal life,adoption, everlasting life? You neglect all of these doctrines. Is it possible you have come across something you do not completely understand? God does not lie, He is not the author of confusion, and He is not willing that any should perish.
