1 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | Ken hepting | 92844 | ||
"OK, I wanted to take a second look at what I believe, to ensure that I wasn’t too far off base scripturally. I know I’ll probably be crucified for what I believe, but then so was Jesus. In my estimation, being SAVED, and being REDEEMED is generally one in the same." Ok. [and I'll probably be crucified for this but here goes] Good reading of the scripture says that I am saved and I'm being saved. What does that mean except I'm enjoying a present spiritual condition of my state of being but yet as Paul states in Hebrews 4:4-6 (NASB) For He has thus said somewhere concerning the seventh day, "And God RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL His works"; [5] and again in this passage, "They shall not enter My rest." [6] Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of DISOBEDIENCE,... [May I suggest you read the whole chapter..] There reamains a "salvation" for us who are not disobedient. Am I wrong here? So I think we can safely say that we saved to be saved unto a [certain] perfection fully realized at the seeing of Jesus. Think some of us will have regrets? Ok. Many came to Jesus for healing/wholeness and received it. No Holy Ghost drawing power here. That's the way it was. Even today the word says whosoever will. This I believe for redemption for those opportuned to hear the gospel preached. Question: Will all choose to follow Christ? Here is where I believe the Holy Spirits "pull" on someone happens and regrets are made for those who, for whatever reasons, disobey. |

No Sal, I’m not going to crucify you for your beliefs. As a matter of fact, I see no problem with what you’re saying. However, I do need a little time to meditate on it and pray about it. We both agree that not all will be saved. But for all who will be saved will have to work out their salvation. What I mean by that is, now that I have been saved, I must act like it. I have bad habits that need to be broken. I must study the word more; witness more; pray more; and continue to strive to be more like Jesus who was perfect. I will achieve that state of perfection, but I do not believe that I will achieve it on this side of life, but in the life after life. Until then, I must continue to strive for that goal, to be like Jesus. All this is as I said before, the result of being saved. :Please do not think that I’m terminating this line of communication on this issue. I’m not. I just need to give some consideration to this one particular point. I really think that you’re going somewhere with this, and I’d like to be around when you finally get there. The CurtMan |
