1 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | FTimA | 64495 | ||
Actually, I believe that nobody is "with God" yet, save Jesus (Luke 22:69, Acts 2:33, Acts 5:31, Acts 7:55, Acts 7:56, Rom 8:34, Col 3:1, Heb 10:12, Heb 12:2, 1 Pet 3:22) Heb 9:27 And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment Those that have died since Abel are in some sort of "spiritual" realm waiting for God's judgment. You use the term Christian too loosely. To me a Christian is a true believer and nothing else. To me a true believer accepts God's word for what it says and responds in the way prescribed. I don't understand what you mean by "Does anyone know the exact moment of earthly death?" Christians do not have to work for salvation but they must obey the commands of the Lord. God's word already says there will be a sparse heaven. Matthew 7:13,14 "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it." Your assurance is based on the word of God YOU CHOOSE to base it on. Look at the entire word and make application where necessary. Give me one example where someone in the bible just "repents of sins, asks forgiveness, and receives the gift of salvation, please. Lastly, thank you for your prayers. I appreciate them. |

2 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | John Reformed | 64510 | ||
You stated: "Actually, I believe that nobody is "with God" yet, save Jesus". And the proof texts you provided were (Luke 22:69, Acts 2:33, Acts 5:31, Acts 7:55, Acts 7:56, Rom 8:34, Col 3:1, Heb 10:12, Heb 12:2, 1 Pet 3:22). These verses speak to the fact that Christ is in Heaven and seated on the throne at the right hand of the Father. One must read into the text that "that nobody is "with God" yet". You are bold in critisizing others for what you do continualy, that is, imposing your own doctrine upon the Word of God. 2 Cor 5:6-8 Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. How do you explain your intepretation of the verses you cited? John |

3 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | FTimA | 64545 | ||
I have no doctrine to impose. I have tried at all times to support my position with God's word. This is the only doctrine we have. The verses I cited were to support the fact that Jesus is with God. Elijah and Enoch are two individuals who never experienced physical death, but Jesus says in John 3:13, "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven" so even they are not in heaven, yet. What was your purpose for citing 2 Cor. 5:6-8? |

4 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | John Reformed | 64548 | ||
My purpose for citing 2 Cor. 5:6-8 was to show that the souls of deceased Christians go to be with Christ upon the moment of death and not to Abraham's Bosom. Our bodys will not ascend into heaven until the ressurection of the godly dead. John |

5 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | FTimA | 64713 | ||
Our bodies or our souls? God tells Adam that our bodies will return to dust. Gen 3:19 By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return." |

6 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | John Reformed | 64718 | ||
You said: "Our bodies or our souls? God tells Adam that our bodies will return to dust." My answer is our bodies. I believe in a dichotomy of man's being: Body and soul. But that is a subject for a seperate discussion. We have already strayed far from the topic we are supposed to be discussing. John |
