Subject: "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! |
Bible Note: Robert, quick point: death isn't actually a punishment for true believers, for we're going to be with God. I believe that our punishment is the continued separation from fellowship with the Lord, which means that we don't enjoy the fruits of the Spirit (Gal 5). For myself, I cannot stand being miserable, therefore, I seek the Spirit's help in revealing my sins or why I'm feeling separated. Most times I don't actually need to seek too hard for I know what the issue is! Also, the Bible doesn't actually say that Ananias and Sapphira themselves were true believers, only that they were in the midst of the believers. They attempted to deceive the Lord because they mistakenly believed that He only saw the outward appearance. I don't remember who else spoke about A and S, but I read it recently. It was a short, but pretty good discourse on the topic. In Christ, Estelle |
