1 | Simon wanting to buy Holy Spirit Acts 8 | Matt 13:20 | DEL | 73162 | ||
Can someone believe on JESUS for selfish reasons in a moment of feeling the need for something( ie. love, hope, peace, prosperity), walk the aisle at a church for salvation, yet not have a saving faith? I am reminded of Simon in Acts 8: 14-24. Was he saved? | ||||||
2 | Simon wanting to buy Holy Spirit Acts 8 | Matt 13:20 | CDBJ | 73167 | ||
Just because someone jumps through some ministers psychological hoop by walking an aisle doesn’t mean that that they are saved. I ask a fellow one day if he were to die and stand before God at this very moment and God were to ask him why should I let you into my Kingdom, what would you say? His answer was because he went forward in a Billy Graham crusade. (WRONG ANSWER) I just answered a post on the same topic and I would like to suggest the same to you if I may. Do a lengthy study on the words believe and faith as found in the Bible and ask the Lord to show you the truth that is contained in the Koine Greek of those words. The English words for believe and faith is very limited as to what it conveys. Have a nice day, CDBJ |
