Ray, Thank you for your letter. Yes I did do a typo in my response to you. I seen it after it had already been sent. Now about the Caps. I used my concordance to look for the scriptures I sent. It was in there where they were Cap... I apologize for the error. I will be much more careful in the future. Thank you for the scriptures you sent. I have enjoyed them all. It is always good to discuss the word of God. It happens to be my favorite topic. I never tire of learning more about God through his word. I would also like to let you know that my grammer is not the best. I did not do well on that subject in school. Just goes to show you, You never stop learning. LOL. I would like to ask all of you to remember me in your prayers. I always stand in need of prayer. You all know that when a person trys to get a closer relationship with Jesus, that old adversary rares his ugly head to try to discourage. I will not let him stop me. I love the Lord and desire to always be in his will. I would like to leave you with this thought. Isaiah 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. God Bless you all Sandra |

I capitalize when I refer to His Names. To me these are in refrence to God, not things or characters of things. Therefore I capitalized, out of respect for His name. Majesty, refers to His kingship, His glory. His righteousness. They are Attributive Names. focusing upon His attributes. Like Holiness and Righteousness. Jesus was called the Holy one, Acts2:27;13:36;cf Psalm 89:18. The Righteous Judge 2 Tim 4:8. As holiness refers primarly to the character of Christ, so righteousness refers primarly to the conduct of Christ. These two titles are closely related because it is impossiable to be righteous with out being holy. These are expressions of His holiness and righteousness and sainthood. yet these are names used for Jesus. Just as Majesty refers to His glory, and power. The Almighty is one of Gods many names, it means all powerful, He is Omnipotent. And we refer to Him as Almighty. We all fall short in words to discribe Him. And as we see the bible refers to the deity of our God, the Son and Holy Ghost, we can not go wrong in using the names He has given to us for the purpose of worshiping Him. I hope this clears it up for you. |

5 | dreams with answers | Bible general Archive 1 | prayer warrior | 32408 | ||
In order to help answer your question I used some excerpt from a book"In A Dream, in a vision of the Night" copywritght 1998 It shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out my Spirit on all Flesh, Your sons and daugthers shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions. Your old men shall dream dreams, And on My menservents and My maidservants.as written in Joel. "It is very important that we search the scriptures out ourselves on any and every matter. The enemy knows the scripture. He twisted the Word of God in the Garden with Adam and Eve, as well as in the wilderness with Jesus. Dreams can be answers, warnings and or direction. Take Job 7:13-15 and Job 33:14-18 by these I take it to mean when we are in danger, the Lord loves us so much He will warn us even to the point of scaring us, and If we cannot understand, we rest. The Lord will seal the instruction of the dream. Meaning, we will understand while the Lord does the rest. Even if you talk to someone about a dream or vision that you have, don't take my word or anyone else's word as LAW. Peole are human and make mistakes. Seek the councel of others you trust in the Lord, but seek the Lord and His Word by prophesy, word of wisdom, word of knowledge, or any word from anyone. There should be confirmation from deep down in your spirit as well as from the Word of God. Remember it was your dream, not the interpreter's dream. You have the Holy Spirit in you, the teacher. Listen to Him. If you lack peace about what you are hearing, don't judge the interpreter, just the interpretation. A constant study in the Word on a daily basis will keep you fresh in the Word as well as fine tune to the Spirit of God. 2Tim 2:15, Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth." First,study the word of God and pray, This is Key to knowing the truth about a dream. Some dreams have a level of natural meaning, and a level of truth in the symbolic, spiritual meaning. We as humans we would like hard fast rules that would make it easy for us to figure out. The Lord wants us to meditate and dwell on His word. Instant answers would not encourage us to linger where He is for answers. All dreams and visions are not from God, John 10:4 tells us clearly that we know the Voice of the Lord. And another place says dreams can come from our own hearts Ecc.5:3. Dreams come from three places, ourselves, the devil, and our Lord." I can tell when the dreams are of God and when they are not, by the inward witness of the Spirit of God. I pray and ask what does it mean. And other times I know right off. It is the Presence of the Lord, that lets me know, if it is of the devil of the just flesh or a message from Him. 2 part question for you, this may help you in knowing if what you are dreaming is from the Lord or not. First have you ever felt the Presence of the Lord? If so how did you know it was Him? This helps me to know, knowing Him and how He speaks to me. Through His Word, Prayer and Dreams. I hope this helps |

6 | I'm not sure what you are trying to ask | Col 3:17 | prayer warrior | 32070 | ||

I do believe that also, but I don't know what a protestant is, I am not called to be a protestant, or any other name. I am a CHRISTIAN, called unto salvation of my Lord Jesus. We are all called to be Christ like. To strive to be like Him, not a denomination. Thank you. and God Bless |

8 | Can salvation be lost due to actions? | Ezek 3:18 | prayer warrior | 31753 | ||
No, I don't believe in works saving a person, you all misunderstood my statement, I know my salvation comes from my Lord Jesus, and from Him alone, All I am saying is the when a christian sins, and sometimes they do, they have to accept responsiablity for their actions by confessing their sin. Keeping a right relationship with Jesus is important. I must apoloigize to you all. Somehow I was misunderstood. I didn't save my self, and never could. I was dieng and on my way to hell when Jesus called me unto salvation. It seems, that you all think I said, I saved my self, by living right. I am sorry if I gave that impression, it was not ever meant to be conceived that way. Let me explain by giving the verses I base my beliefs on. I believe in ALL the bible and what it says. James 2:18,20 v18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. v20 But,wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? This, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, is what I have been trying to say, but, said it wrong, as I do at times. God requires us to live a Holy life, and through His strength we can, as stated in Phillipians 4:13 v13 says I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. I must say you all are well up on your studies, and I can see you all have passion for Jesus Christ our Lord. I thank you all for the direction you have given, and it was appreciated, for I can see that your love for others in seen, by your response, to try to correct, what you thought, was a christian in error. John 3:16 is very dear to me and believe me I know all that he suffered, and did so that I may receive salvation. Again, thank you and God Bless. |

9 | please, two part question, need more | Ezek 3:18 | prayer warrior | 31680 | ||
I guess the biggest reason I asked the question to begin with is that, my pastor was telling us about a friend of his who was a christian and pastor for 11 years. Well the pastor got angry with God and refuses to have anything to do with God. it has now been years and still the man says he wants nothing to do with God or anything dealing with him or his Name. So from what i understand everyone to be saying is this man whos says he hates God and would rather go to hell than heaven to be with God, is going to be forced to go to heaven? The man was saved, was baptised, filled contuinally with the Holy Ghost and lived the christian life for eleven years. That is no doubt. He was a fervent Christian, serving Christ with much love. so in saying all that I am going to end this discussion on this topic, I hope that I offended no one. I always pray, that I be wise as a serpent and harmless as doves. Lets just agree that we disagree. and leave it at that. Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. God bless and again thank you all for your imput. |

10 | Can salvation be lost due to actions? | Ezek 3:18 | prayer warrior | 31650 | ||
yes, to think that some one would think that just because they have been given the precious gift of salvation, that they have a license to sin. I can't understand why they would believe their sin would be excused when they don't repent. We all have to except responsiability for our actions. Repentance is a big part of Gods word. Thank you all for the discussions. | ||||||
11 | Can salvation be lost due to actions? | Ezek 3:18 | prayer warrior | 31647 | ||
I firmly believe that when a christian, sins, they have broken fellowship with God, God can not look on sin. If you don't repent of your sins then you can't receive forgiveness. If you don't recieve forgiveness for your sins, and the christian dies physically. They have died in sin. Matt.10:32 tells us whosoever shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But,whosoever shall deny me before men, will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Breaking fellowship to contune in sin are breaking fellowship and denying God's will. denying God. Matt.7:17-23 A parable about two trees, right, Every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, consistently, while a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit contuinally. therefore, the normal and consistent production of fruit, whether good or evil, in a person's life will bear evidence whether or not that life is of God. verse 19 shows the unfruitfull life of the unregenerate who is cast into the fire, which we know is the picture of Hell. Not everyone professing to be a christian is genuinely saved. Even the outward statement of God's Lordship over their lives, in it self is not enough to save the unbeliever apart from true repentence and faith. A genuinely saved person is one that doeth the will of the Father, the greek present tense is suggesting that he is contuinually living in obedience to the will of God in their christian walk for the rest of their life. No I don't believe in salvation by works, it is by grace we are saved. Jesus is the only door. but He also says faith without works is dead. in Matt 10:22 Jesus said he that endureth to the end shall be saved. Eze.3:20. The righteous deeds are remembered no more. |

Thank you Hank, I did some research on this today scripture Eze. 3:20 as well as looking at root meaning of each word. Matt 7:22, and Eze. 18:20. pretty well answered it for me. Salvation is a work in progress, the righteous person must maintain their walk. Once saved always saved is only saved if you keep your walk. No one can take you out of Gods hands but you can, by contuining to sin. After all He does say if we contuine in sin we are none of His. Repentance has to be there, once dead, it is to late. Thank you for your help and God bless you and this group. Don't struggle to stand, struggle to stay kneeling, till He leads you to stand on His will, and word. | ||||||
13 | Can salvation be lost due to actions? | Ezek 3:18 | prayer warrior | 31587 | ||
this is the way I under stood it. From the Beginning of Salvation a persons sins are no longer rememberd by God right! So if a person chose to turn away from God and enter back into sin. With out repenting, God remebers no more there righteous deeds. From then on all He sees is sin, not salvation. If a person dies physically before he repents, he dies with out forgiviness. No sinner can enter into heaven. and a dead person can't ask for forgivines after he or she is dead. | ||||||

Oh, I am sorry wrong verse, I meant verse 20. It states that the righteous deeds are remembered no more and he shall die in sin. Is not dieing in sin, the punishment of hell? | ||||||
