When I became born-again ...
I was totally OPEN with no pre-conceived false doctrines.
And now also ... I believe in no unscriptural doctrines, but
I believe in what the NT clearly teaches!
Some years ago, I collected approximately 20 NT passages
which clearly threaten the loss of salvation.
And there were quite a few more verses which hinted at this fact,
but which simply served to confirm the truth of the obvious 20.
But, do you think you’re going to hear this from most churches?
No way, Jose, because it is so unpopular that it would cause
a drop in attendance and, wait for it … a drop in tithes!
(Lots of tithes are required to pay church salaries, mortgages, etc.)
Change of subject ... It is critically important to be able to
RECONCILE the 2 groups of NT Scriptures, which are:
the so-called OSAS NT verses ...vs... those NT verses which oppose them.
This RECONCILIATION is accomplished by understanding:
the NT word "believe" must include obedience!
This is true because of the NT verses which state obedience is necessary.
Forget what some commentaries, even lexicons, might say …
because these are written by indoctrinated man, and not by God.
Please allow the Lord to speak the Truth for Himself through the NT.
No NT verses/passages are to be ignored and/or rejected.
True saving belief/faith demands more than
a simple belief in the John 3:16-type of verses.
I hope and pray that this will help some believers to understand
what the NT is supposed to be teaching us!
