    Once Saved Always Saved....

    Does this bother you?

    Proverbs 27:17-17 17 As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. :D As long as you have a heart that is OPEN to the truth then there is no harm in sparring with fellow believers for the sake of learning and getting it RIGHT. The only reason you should speak with total...

    Once Saved Always Saved....

    Jimmy. Show me any scritupture that supports that theory! Look, when God saves a person you dont reach out and grab hold of God you submit to HIS will and allow HIM to grab hold of you. You dont enter his heart HE enters YOUR heart. You arent holding HIM, HE is holding on to you!!! Romans...

    Once Saved Always Saved....

    One major flaw in your philosophy Ray:doh: . How can you lose what you didnt earn in the 1st place? :confused: You didnt deserve salvation the 1st time. Grace by definition is UNMERITED favor. Salvation comes by accepting a free gift, not by earning it. The only one to ever EARN heaven was Jesus...

    a tough question

    If he was really saved as Child, or saved at ANY age, he is still saved. Hebrews 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to...

    Are Jewish people saved???

    Technically you are right about the Muslim faith, I stand corrected. However, I was talking about the rift between the Jews and the Ishmaelites. The rift starts with Ishmael because the Muslims believe that Ishmael was the rightful heir to the covenant and the promised land, even though the...

    Are Jewish people saved???

    Matthew, a few comments. There is a huge difference in influencing Gods will as a person who is submitting to His authority while petitioning God through prayer (like those who are believers and those who are coming to believe would be) and those who thumb their nose at Christ (like the Jews...

    Do most Baptists believe the Rapture?

    Hey, lets get to the real point here. If a person is lost they need Jesus. Pre Trib, Post Trib, Second Coming, whatever. If you are lost none of it will matter. Lets do our job and obey the great commission and let God worry about the scond coming. I know for sure one thing that matters, when...

    Are Jewish people saved???

    You make comments in your reply that make it sound as if you think that our thoughts and opinions have some sort of influence on how God is going to judge our actions. God doesnt care that the Jews "truly felt this, or truely believed that". We are judged by HIS standard not ours. God...

    Are Jewish people saved???

    Calvinist,,, interesting. I once had a calvinist pastor and I found after years of doctrinal disagreement we had to part ways. He stood in the pulpit and actually told our congregation that if you werent predestined or forechosen you could (with your heart) follow the guidance of John 3:16 and...

    Are Jewish people saved???

    I do know Jews that acknowledge him as a prophet. But anything less than acknowledging him as God and saviour is just lip service. But you are right, there are many MANY Jews who hate him. That because under their current belief system he undermines their entire faith and hope of heaven on...

    Are Jewish people saved???

    Wait a minute Koontzy. The Bible doesnt not say that you only have to believe in Jesus to be saved. If that were the case Satan would be saved because the Bible directly says even the demons believe in Jesus. Salvation is about believing "on", Putting your faith in, and trusting in Him...

    Unforgiveable Sin

    The only unpardonable sin is rejecting the "Gift of God". Jesus. Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up...

    Do most Baptists believe the Rapture?

    Outstanding point Adrian! However, for the sake of pure discussion amongst believers. Hre are a few scriptures of evidence of persecution and rapture. Persecution Matthew 24:4 Then Jesus replied to them: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, 'I...

    Anyone into Radio Controled models???

    TMaxx is a great truck. I love the 2 speed transmission. I dont have one but I used to enjoy watching my neighbor run his around. The best part was hearing it shift gears.;)
