Lost Bible Books, 2 Raptures, Once Saved, Always Saved?
Posted: Sat Jul 16, 2005 1:52 pm
I have been doing some major Bible research and came across some suprising information. First of all, according to this website - http://www.thelostbooks.com/ - it covers the lost books of the Bible which is VERY extensive. Second, I found information that probably most Bible readers worldn't even relize in the Bible that there are 2 raptures, it is according to this website - http://www.satansrapture.com/ - and is very informative. Third, according again to - http://www.satansrapture.com/ - is - http://www.satansrapture.com/salvation.htm - which explains I guess that "Once Saved, Always Saved" is a false doctrine.
This website - http://www.xzone-radio.com/ - is VERY interesting and has an archive of previous talk shows that talk about everything paranormal/supernatural, it is actually a radio station.
A personal question I need an answer to for the "Once Saved, Always Saved" false doctrine. Throughout my life from an infant to the eighth grade, I went to church camp a state away from where I live. I think when I was fourteen I got baptized at church camp. Granted, throughout all the years of going to church camp and church I never fully understood what being a Christian meant, so I kinda ignored it, I prayed like once a month, but ignored God and was in rebellion. I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior on 2/11/95 at age 10 so I was baptized a few years later. For eight years, I have had a porn and masturbation problem which is a sin. It was in eighth grade when the porn and masturbation thing started and since then it has been hard to stop. It wasn't until March 2004 that a strong conviction came over me to repent of my sins that went unrepented. I did repent, though still now I struggle with porn and masturbation and I continue to repent after each slip up. I think somewhere in scripture, it explains that if you have accepted Christ and His sacrifice and continue in habitual sin, he will no longer be with you, or take his Holy Spirit away from you. I am worried about this because when I fall into porn sometimes (I'm trying to quit), I don't feel guilty until maybe the next day, sometimes I don't even feel guilty, and this makes me wonder if I am dead to sin and if the Holy Spirit has been withdrawn from me. Also last year while I was browsing Christian websites, I found this website's article - http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/ ... lesin.html - and I read it and I started obsessing over it. I have really bad Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. So for about 1-2 weeks (I'm forgetting), I was blaspheming the Trinity or to put it more specifically, the Holy Spirit for no reason, my obsessiveness took over and I was feeling EXTREMELY guilty doing it but I couldn't stop the blasphemous thoughts until I went to my parents for help and they said to surrender to God. I did so. My psychiatrist told me that if you try not to think of something, you will always usually end up thinking of it. There is research that shows that in some part of our brain, we have a God part of us, and when these thoughts were going thorugh my head consistently for that duration of those weeks, my head really hurt I guess in the God part of the brain. I also wanted to mention that I said a blasphemous thought outloud in hopes it would go away and it didn't. Now with my continued habitual sin and unwanted blasphemy, all the while still repenting of them, have I lost my salvation when I accepted Christ on 2/11/95 and dammned to hell with no forgivness in sight?
Oh yeah, would it be a good time to get re-baptized so I can take the Lord more seriously now?
