Subject: "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! |
Bible Note: Johhny, Salvation means one thing doesnt it? Adam and Eve were not saved beings when they were created. (like you said) for sake of discussion let me elaborate a lil bit.. But WE..as Christ(ians) are saved ...from what our 1st Mother and Father fell from...Grace. Hence, the need to be saved. Saved from what? Eternal Damnation... So after the fall, Adam and Eve needing saving. How did they get it? They got it the same time we did. When JESUS died for all on that cross and rose from the dead. As for eternal security issues...my question for you and the rest... Can we OUTSIN ....GRACE?? NO we cannot. But that doesnt mean we should try to. What is the Holy Spirit for? Being our comforter as well as helping us to understand HIM in HIS word. Who is the 'author' and 'finisher' of our faith? Faith in, on, with, for??? There is so much in store for those who 'diligently seek' Him in His word. Which is what HIS word is for ...being SOUGHT. How else do we 'rightly divide'? Johnny, this post is NOT directed JUST to you... but for all of US. We so NEEEED to be in HIS word and study His word. Psalm 119 has so much in store for those who study in it. Proverbs 15:28a "The righteous study how to answer..." OH SO MUCH is printed for us in books, periodicals, newspapers, pamphlets,sermons from differint pulpits, the radio, TV on info about our LORD. Yet, MOST only use those as their points of reference for their arguements about most anything they think they know. They havent read the WORD...studied it to be approved...or reasoned from it. NOTHING in this world is as important as knowing God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit. The Father wrote a book for all of us to read from to get to know HIM. Psalm 138:2b says it best for all of us to understand, "...I hold my Word above my Name." In this Forum, we all should be prayerfully seeking HIM and what HE wants us to understand. We ALL should be citing Scripture to substantiate any claims we have to knowing something or presumably knowing. NOT THAT I HAVE ATTAINED...never...that is not until I am face to face with my LORD JESUS. And why I am saying all this?? ehehehehehehee sorry for the lengthy personal dissertation.... *SHALOM* D |
