1 | What is your definition of a believer? | James 2:19 | lionheart | 147155 | ||
jcsav I must pose this question,what is your definition of a believer? One who is truly saved? When it comes to the word believe it gets seriously misconstrued and mis interpreted.Belief,conotates action (pistis,pisteuo)not mere mental ascent.Mental ascent does not equate to belief.The verses you are quoting do not refer specificly to believers. You can walk away from God,but if one remains faithful to God that person is saved no matter what may come there way. 1 John 1:9 We will sin but we can and must repent. God says we can and that he will forgive.We can believe no less than what Gods Word tells us.Now tell us how can a true child of God can go to hell? In Christ, lionheart |

2 | What is your definition of a believer? | James 2:19 | jcsav | 147161 | ||
lionheart, I know what a True believer really is. But we have some on this forum that have take believing to mean, not action, but inaction. And try to use faith to Justify, that lack of action. No child of God will end up in hell. But everyone that call himself a believer, is not. I had to speak to Seacher, in one way. And to you in another.I will but it to you this way. Was the Scriptures that I used to a believers. or to non- believers. Non-believers is already condemned. | ||||||
3 | What is your definition of a believer? | James 2:19 | lionheart | 147162 | ||
jcsav you just stated what I and others have been saying for a long time. Anyone can hang a label on themseves but that doesnt make them what they profess to be. The proof is in the action. James 2:14-26 Our actions evidence our faith,our belief or lack of it. Just because one calls themself a believer doesnt make it so. Mere verbalisation or mental ascent are worthless,that person still remains a non-believer. In Christ, lionheart |
