I will definitely be praying for you and your wife. I am Tommy_S's wife and I know what your wife is going through. Please feel free to have her PM me if she would like to talk.

As long as you have made the gospel message clear to them, all you can do now is to pray for them, love them unconditionally, and live by example. As far as you being a hypocrite by telling them to repent...No, that does not make you a hypocrite. You are always going to be dealing with your own...

No Compromise Radio hosted by Mike Abendroth. It is free on itunes.

You are right...Here in the west don't have a concept of it..We grumble and complain of our struggles..But we really have no idea what a true struggle is..All but one of the disciples were martyred and every single day Christians throughout the world are being tortured tremendously..And we pray...

I get so upset at pastor's who say to come to Christ for a better life "Are you experiencing suffering, turn to God and your life will be better." "Come to Christ, God has a wonderful plan for your life." Really?? Are you really saying God will make our life better and our sufferings will be...

Maybe it's so the married men will pay more attention to their wives and not what's on TV. :D

Agreed..and a true Christian will do so. A false convert will either not bother, or rely on themselves to do it. Because he believes he can get them to pull away..Just like he thought he could get Job too..However, a true believer will not waver. We are told throughout scripture that we...

We don't tell people either way..We focus on showing people that they are condemned without Christ..Because of our sins, because we have all lied, stolen, lusted, blasphemed, etc..We are under the judgement of God..We then explain to them that..Christ took our punishment and our condemnaion upon...

If God had hardened your heart..you wouldn't be so worried about it..You wouldn't care. To answer your question..No I don't believe someone who doesn't understand the cross can be saved..However, the more important question is if you understand it now.

The question is not whether you lose salvation once you are saved..It is whether you were truly saved or not to begin with. For you cannot lose something you never had. We are promised that if God began a good work in us, He will carry it to completion..This is a promise of God..Saying we can...

But once we chose to follow Him..We are changed as I stated in 2 Corinthians..A true convert will totally change, therefore, they will hate there sin and begin repentance..This is what Paul meant in 1 John 2 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, “I...

No, He doesn't force us..We are changed...Just like I stated in 2 Corinthians Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new Therefore..since we are changed and new creatures our mindset changes and we begin to...

I am not saying He forces us to believe..However, once someone does believe..put their faith and trust in Christ and repent..They are saved..And once they have that mindset after truly knowing the Lord, they will not fall away...We have a choice whether to believe and come to Him or not..But...

It is impossible for us to remain faithful ourselves..We are wretched by human nature..Salvation and repentance are a gift to those who are truly His..We cannot work to receive salvation..it is free.. Romans 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly...

Exactly..if they left..they were not even of them..Those who thought they were saved but in reality, we not of them to begin with. This all ties in with the parable of the sower..In verse 3 of 1 John I was pointing out that he tells us we can KNOW if we KNOW Him..We can have that assurance that...

The verse is very clear in saying that the things spoken of were not "things that accompany salvation" There are better things concerning us and those things are the "things that accompany salvation"

1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. verse 3 "Now by this we know that we know Him..." We are clearly told that we...

But once again you leave off the second part of the verse..There are better things concerning us.."things that accompany salvation"

The parable of the sower is explained in the next part of the chapter... “Therefore hear the parable of the sower: When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the...

I am not reading anything that isn't there...But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. "Things that accompany salvation" We have to remember that Hebrews was written to give witness to the superiority of...
