Re: Eternal Security...
Some small observations worth mentioning (and these are more or less, generalizations) :- - those that are saved can tell, after a while, if someone else is saved or not-saved just by meeting them. - those that are not-saved cannot tell if someone else is saved or not-saved. - those that are saved, ...

Re: Eternal Security...
No because no I do not think he loses anyone if we didn't make it then we must not have been give to him. Side Note: Crikey ! Even the Buddhists believe in irreversible salvation. Once a person "enters the stream" , it leads to enlightenment and the breaking of the cycle of birth/re-birth...

Re: Assurance?
I do have a lot of darkness to reject... Have a go at reciting Jesus' main prayer (usually once every night). It's the 'super-weapon' against darkness. ----------- "Our Father Who Art in Heaven Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this ...

Re: salvation and works
I have on problem with what y'all are saying there. I believe pretty much the same way other then the osas other then that I think what y'all said is really good and I originally asked this question because I was confused if people here believe that it was ok to sin and that there is no need to ple...

Re: Eternal Security...
This thread reminds me of the time that an old man from one of those weird denominational churches would come up to me with great excitement and scream out.. "you're there !, you're there !, you're already there !!!!" Then I'd get excited too and say "Yay, I'm there ! , I'm there !&qu...

Re: Eternal Security...
When someone is born he cannot be unborn at a later date. When someone is born-again he cannot be unborn-again at a later date, let alone be born-again-again at an even a later date. This idea is not mentioned anywhere in the bible. The second birth is the birth in Spirit. John 3:3 “Very truly I tel...

Re: Eternal Security...
On a side note, I just found six views on Salvation...... 1. The legal view says that man can be saved by good works and by living a clean moral life. 2. The semi-legal view says man must be saved by faith in Christ plus good works. 3. Socrates and many of the philosophers held an intellectual view,...

Re: Eternal Security...
you are wrong on the parable of the sower. If you look at what is says and not at what you want it to say. You will see it is really talking about people who do not respond to an alter call (this is the seed that fell on the way side) and the people that get saved and stay saved (this is the seed t...

Re: Eternal Security...
Well said B.W. You took the analogy right out of my mouth ! The Bible contains many passages which appear to say clearly and unambiguously that once a person gains salvation, they can never lose it. Examples are: John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that who...

Re: Eternal Security...
The switch from non-salvation to salvation occurs top-down , i.e. it begins in the spirit and is reflected in the lower personality (the human being). You can do absolutely nothing on your own. The process is irreversible. Can human beings reverse the spirit ? If you think God would take back his pe...

Re: Is Jesus the only way?
This discussion reminds me of the (unverified) story of the Buddhist monk who sat around meditating for forty years. He was about to give up when Jesus appeared in a vision and told him he was on the wrong path !
