1 | How many people will go to heaven? | Bible general Archive 3 | teresaa | 176797 | ||
in the bible it talks about in the end times there will be a falling away from the church. There is a serious misconseption in the church today people believ once saved always saved but there are bible verses that can prove that,that is not true. Jesus says in Revelations "I will vomit you out of my mouth" that tells me at one time they had to be in, in the church or how else would they come out. There is another verse that says "no one can pluck you out of my hand" but that doesn't mean we can't jump. In the last days there will be a remanent church, the ones that has not lost there flavour. there still on fire for the Lord, they are not luke warm. Jesus talks about in The Seven churches that they had lost there first love. | ||||||

teresaa - Quoting from your post "...in the church today people believe in once saved always saved." .... True. I do. So does the church I'm a member of. But we believe in the doctrine of the eternal security of the believer, not because it is something we dreamed up, but because Jesus taught it (cf. John 10) and the Pauline letters confirmed it, as did the letters of John, Peter and Jude. ..... You continue, "but there are Bible verses that can prove that this is not true." ..... No there aren't, teresaa, unless they are wrenched from their context and given an eisegetical spin. Using the same level of biblical interpretation, I can give you a Bible verse, Genesis 6:14, that can "prove" beyond any doubt that you and I ought hasten to gather together some gopher wood right now and build ourselves an ark to shelter us from a forthcoming cataclysmic event of epic proportions. ..... It is not only possible but it is relatively easy to thumb through the pages of Scripture and pick out some "proof texts" that one can use to lend a measure of verisimilitude to almost any preconceived idea or half-baked doctrinal stance. The most dangerous doctrines on earth are those that seem true but, when weighed on the balance of God's word, are patently false. Man has no reason and can offer no excuse to stumble around in doctrinal darkness. He has the light of the word of God and instructions on how to use it: "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15) ...... Won't you reconsider your position on this important doctrine in light of the full context of what Scripture actually teaches about regeneration and the eternal security of the believer? The regenerate believer can no more "lose" his salvation than he could save himself to begin with. Salvation is wholly of God. Man is as powerless to save himself as he is to keep himself saved. ....... What I have said in this post is intended as a didactic exposition of scriptural teaching and in no sense as a personal attack on you or anyone else. ...... May God bless your spirit and illumine your understanding as you study His blessed word! --Hank | ||||||

Didn't you know, Hank? God sits at a desk up in heaven all day with a pencil and a big eraser. Whenever a believer sins, He erases their name. When they confess, He pencils it back in. Sin, delete. Confess, add. Isn't this a ludicrous picture? Yet that's what some would have us believe. "The good news is God's pencil has no eraser. Before you breathed your first word, God knew how you would respond to His offer of grace. According to His foreknowledge, He wrote your name in the book of life." (www.intouch.org/myintouch/exploring/ bible_says/eternal_security/erase_149096.html) Grace to you, John ******************** But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. 1 Cor. 14:38 (KJV) |
