Oh my CDBJ: You have got this biblically speaking illiterate person going "What"? Acts 16:31 (to me) is saying if you believe in the Lord (Jesus Christ) and ask to be saved - you and the members of your house will be saved, right? But does that mean that you believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah-Son of God or just a really good prophet - that you will be saved? James 2:19 - I am really not quite sure. I know that the Bible tells us that satan and his followers know the scriptures too. Are we saying that as long as a person believes that there is a God that their name will be written in the Book of Life? If that is the case, then satan and his followers would have their names written in the Book of Life also (I'm assuming) because they believe know that God exists, right? They just don't want to follow His rules and abide by Him, correct? There we go ... I am confused again. See, it doesn't take much. | ||||||

Hi Aileen, I didn’t mean to get you all confused, lets try this a different way. This is hypothetical, but lets say if you were to die tomorrow and you found yourself standing face to face with the Lord and He were to say to you; Aileen why should I let you come into my Kingdom? What do you think you would say to Him? That’s an awesome thought and you are the only one that knows what you yourself would personally say. Now I haven’t used scripture to put you on the spot as it were, so how would you answer or what would be your reply? Don’t panic, it’s just hypothetical anyway, CDBJ |

Hi CDBJ: Hmm. I would tell the Lord I have believed in Him all of my life. I have tried to do good to others and follow God's commandments. That I strayed as a young person but asked for forgiveness and His Word says that if I asked to be forgiven and truly repent that all my sins are forgiven and that I am Saved and will have eternal life with Him. And ... that I tried to instill all of this into my children and my children's children. Aileen |

Greetings Aileen, Your statement in part, “I would tell the Lord I have believed in Him all of my life” That’s a rather hard thing to do since we are actually born physically alive but at the same time we are born spiritually dead thus the need to be born again. There has to be a point a some time in your life when your experienced the following John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Couple that with the following. John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Are you “absolutely sure” that you would have eternal life with God after you take your last breath on this side of heaven or is this something that you don’t have “absolute positive proof of as yet”, and you are hoping for? Your connotation of the word repent might make a big difference with regards to the Bible’s meaning and it’s better to be safe then sorry. What is your estimation of the word repent? Ephes. 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9not of works, lest anyone should boast. Titus 3:5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, Have you experienced the action of the previous verse? Many “assume” that they have salvation because of something they have done but they aren’t positively sure when it come right down to it, i.e. they haven’t received the proof of the witness of the Holy Spirit. 1 John 5:10 (A) He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; They are literally sealed by God Himself when they truly believe. Ephes. 1:13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, Just trying to help, CDBJ |

Hey CDBJ: I was brought up going to church and fearing the Lord (literally). I accepted Jesus as my Savior about 16 years ago and was baptized (fully immersed) about 4 years ago. Is that what you were asking? Repent ... definition (Mine) truly sorry for what you have done, ask God for forgiveness and try to never do it (whatever the sin was) again. |
