    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    God does NOTHING lacking or deficient. His sacrifice was sufficient for all and His salvation is forever. Ecc 3:14I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    It actually means that Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection was done for every sin and every sinner on the planet. A free gift offered for all.

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:2

    The churches are in dire need of understanding this!

    Those are true statements. If you are indeed led by the spirit, please read and understand this....... Romans 8 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Are you a "son" of your father? Nothing can change that fact .It is the same with God.

    Face Off Between The KJV And NIV

    Since 1611, the English language has been subjected to something they call "semantic drift", also known by other terms. But there is nothing wrong with having to look up the meanings to words as you have to do it sometimes in "modern" dictionaries anyway. One thing I have learned about the King...

    Face Off Between The KJV And NIV

    That's most likely added, while verse 17 says nearly the same thing, only better. :) 17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. So God isn't just "trustworthy" in "promises": He's completely "righteous" in "ALL His ways" and He's not just "faithful" in His works: He's...

    Face Off Between The KJV And NIV

    KJV Matthew 17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. NIV Omitted KJV Matthew 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost NIV Omitted KJV Matthew 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Steve, If you have to do anything to keep yourself from "losing your salvation", that is works. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

    Can you get to heaven if you kill yourself?

    I guess that could be. Not making excuses for it, but have you ever found yourself so depressed, that you felt like you were in a deep dark pit with no way out? Have you ever soaked your pillow with tears night after night, couldn't sleep and had lost interest in everything? You're not thinking...

    Can you get to heaven if you kill yourself?

    Elijah was depressed, Jonah was so depressed he wanted to die, King Saul (God's anointed) killed himself with a sword. Samson prayed to God for the strength to kill himself and God granted his request. Samson is also named as one of the "heroes of faith" in Hebrews chapter 11. Praise God! But...

    The churches are in dire need of understanding this!

    Oh yes, and the Holy Ghost does not make people babble in jibberish either. The "tongues" at Pentecost were LANGUAGES. But we'll save that one for another debate.

    The churches are in dire need of understanding this!

    The Holy Spirit illuminates God's Word and testifies of and exalts the Lord Jesus Christ. He "reproves the world of sin, righteousness and judgment" and he always "agrees in one" with "the Word" and the Father. If, IF new revelations were possible,(which they aren't) how would people know...

    The churches are in dire need of understanding this!

    Yes, we now only get "God's word" from "God's word". There are no new revelations.

    The churches are in dire need of understanding this!

    First of all, I insisted nothing of the sort. If you think that whatever verses you may be referring to contradict "the security of the believer" doctrine, then you simply do not understand them.

    Under Church Discipline

    I would add that there could be another reason a man would not want to"put himself under the authority" of any man, and it's found in the Book of Jude verse number 8.

    The churches are in dire need of understanding this!

    Sir, the "work" of God is simply to believe on his Son, and the "commandments" are to Love God with all your heart, and your neighbor as yourself............Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. John 6:29 But you cannot love God...

    Under Church Discipline

    First of all, a "ruling" "preeminent" mindset was condemned by the Lord as being worldly.........Matthew 20:25-27 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not...

    "predestinated"

    I know the Bible tells us to "lean not unto our own understanding" but, God does expect us to "reason" at least a little bit. When you are "without excuse" for either doing or failing to do something, it was because YOU had the means to do otherwise. AND in this case Romans 1: 20 TELLS you what...

    "predestinated"

    ......and though the words don't rhyme, there is no more beautiful poetry(in the English language) than this; "Shakespeare" doesn't even come close, for me. Psalm 19{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2Day...
