Bible Note: I think I can agree with the bottom line of your assessment of the OSAS, or rather than take a chance on misinterpreting let me summarize. I also believe very strongly that ALL christians can reach the point of spiritual maturity that we can KNOW for an absolute fact that we are saved and that we ARE going to Heaven as reflected in 1 John 5:10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. 11And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. If we've obeyed God's commands to the best of our ability, we can meet God at Judgment Day with full confidence that our Lord Jesus, our Advocate will be there to cover us with his Pure Blood. That and God's Grace is all that we'll need to go to Heaven forever and ever. Blessings to you, dear friend. Country Girl |
