Subject: One example of loosing salvation NT |
Bible Note: Dear NC: My friend, thanks for the reply. Here's something I've recently posted, and I hope to hear your take on it. It's concerning the Apostle Paul's belief that he (while still very much in the flesh) KNEW he was going to heaven. His KNOWLEDGE of this was even ALLOWED by God to be placed in SCRIPTURE and EXPLICITLY at that!! Please explain this: 2 Timothy 4:17 But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation might be fully accomplished, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was rescued out of the lion's mouth. 2 Timothy 4:18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. How do you explain this? Let me tell you, what God have revealed to me about Himself and the Grace he has bestowed upon me GUARANTEES that I will be saved and I know it more than I know anything else. Consider this as well and then tell me there is no "Biblcal proof" of eternal security based on these two passages and I will not say another word to you. 2 Corinthians 5:4 For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life. 2 Corinthians 5:5 Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge. Some versions read "deposit" instead of "pledge", but I'm sure you get the point. The Spirit GUARANTEES salvation-which is the PURPOSE of God! Praise Him! In Christ, JibbyJee |
