**Why I don't preach 'Once Saved Always Saved' (OSAS)**

Sometimes I get a lot of backlash and rejection for what I believe. I compiled some Scripture references on why I don't believe that salvation is a 1-time event, rather a life lived. Your lifestyle will reveal what you really believe in.

I am fully convinced that a person's heart can be hardened and wander so far away from the Lord that none of their previous acts of righteousness done in Christ, will be remembered (Ezekiel 33:1-20). Here is why I don't preach OSAS...because I just don't see how it is Biblical.

The Fruitless Tree, Twice dead - Jude 1:4-19 (NKJV)

The Name that can be blotted out of the Lambs book of life - Revelations 3:1-6 (NKJV)

The Man of Lawlessness - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 (NKJV)

The Doomed Flock - Zechariah 11 (NKJV)

The Seared conscience of False Teachers - 1 Timothy 4:1-5 (NKJV)

Outraging the Spirit of Grace - Hebrews 10:26-31 (NKJV)

The Peril of Unbelief - Hebrews 3:12-19 (NKJV)

The Goodness and the Severity of God - Romans 11:22 (NKJV)

Renewal of Ezekiel’s Call as Watchman - Ezekiel 33:1-20 (NKJV)

The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree and The Vineyard of the Lord Destroyed (The Song of the Vineyard) - Luke 13:6-9, Isaiah 5:1-7 (NKJV)

I sort of agree, I think its a little complicated, like how can one be truly once saved then unsaved. If one ends up unsaved then it means they were never truly saved in the first place because they didn't make it to the finish line.

**Confession and Repentance**

I really don't see these talked about very much so the Lord wants me to explain these in a practical way. This will be a brief (not an exhaustive) teaching.

I've been observing the Body of Christ and one thing I see a lot of is a pattern of recurring shame, guilt, or condemnation. This doesn't have to be a recurring pattern.

The root cause of shame, guilt, and condemnation is a violation of conscience. A violation of conscience comes from sin addictions (i.e willful disobedience). Lack of Church community and/or discipleship can also be a root cause.

'Why doesn't God speak to me?'

'Why do I feel distant from God?'

'God is angry with me'

These kinds of thoughts can be symptoms of a violated conscience. A violated conscience can hinder someone's relationship with the Lord which can ultimately leave an orphaned spirit who doesn't know their Father.

Here we can see the Old Testament type and shadow (foreshadowing) of a violation of conscience where Adam's disobedience caused Him to run away and hide from the Lord.

'9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?' Genesis 3:9-11.

This is important to mention. Over the years I have seen some believers turn away from Christ because they were never taught about confession and repentance (maybe even doing the Great Commision at one point). It is a serious doctrinal error to omit these Biblical principles.

Confession.

Confession can be one of two things. Confessing your sin to God through prayer (1 John 1:9, Acts of the Apostles 3:19) or confessing your sin to a trusted (mature) brother or sister in Christ (James 5:16).

God has set it up so that certain sins need to be confessed to someone else. If they are not confessed to someone else, that believer is at risk of demonic oppression. Demons love secrets.

Until you are walking in a higher level of holiness (progressive sanctification) confession is most definitely a major key for a healthy relationship with Christ. God's best for us is that we don't need to confess our sins every day. There is great power in a clean and pure conscience that comes out of the obedience of a covenant relationship with Christ.

'But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin' 1 John 1:7 (KJV)

Repentance.

I know a lot of people teach that repentance is simply a 'change of mind' but it's more than just that. Repentance is always relational. This means it can be a matter of conscience..or whatever you need to do to have a clean conscience before God.

To define repentance in a singular absolute definition doesn't allow the freedom for the Holy Spirit's work in the believer's personal relationship with God...however none of the following examples are mutually exclusive (they can all be true).

For one it can mean repentance unto salvation (for the unbeliever), turning away from sin and putting faith in Christ (Luke 13:1-5)

For another believer, it can be weeping in godly sorrow (2 Corinthians 7:10).

For another, repentance is transformation (metanoia) the continual renewing of the mind (to 'change your mind') as you follow Christ (Romans 12:1-3).

Lastly, I will say...a lot of times believers try to blame other believers for 'making them feel shame, guilt or condemnation' but more often than not, it's their own conscience convicting them to righteousness to bring life.

When we are not living for Christ and we are living for ourselves, our mind can wage war on us if we are in the wrong and have a weakened conscience (Romans 2:14-16, Revelations 2:12-17).

In conclusion, the primary goal of any Teacher who gives instruction from the Word of God ought to be this:

'Now the goal of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith' 1 Timothy 1:5

Talk about putting your money where your mouth is. From experience, stewarding money like this for the Kingdom of God is better than the tithe at the Church institutions (Matthew 25:31-46).

Maybe it's not always about 'Signs, Wonders and Miracles' some people would rather not starve or freeze to death than hear a quick prayer. Then they might listen to the message (demonstration) of Jesus Christ.

'Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which translated in Greek is called Dorcas); this woman was abounding with deeds of kindness and charity which she continually did' Acts of the Apostles 9:36

You can always feel a profitable aura around a disciple like Tabitha...why does Scripture call her a disciple but doesn't mention her working 'miracles, signs, and wonders' in Christ? Why was she raised from the dead?

'14 What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?

15 If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food,

16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?

17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.' James 2:14-17

'Jesus said, 'Leave the children alone, and don't try to keep them from coming to me, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these' Matthew 19:14

'At that time Jesus declared, 'I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children' Matthew 11:25

Gosh, this summer I want to get more videos like this! I've been slacking on the testimonies for encouragement.

I have seen him since this video and He is still completely changed about 2-3 months later and doing much better.

Now I know how to use FB live...but I'm still a noob at technology...

P.S Stop saying there's no such thing as demons!! Deliverance and healing is the children's bread (Matthew 15:21-28).

'Disclaimer: I don't know how to use FB live (yet) because I don't usually upload videos...I'm also new to the testimony stuff. The man gave me permission to share what happened in His own words...(they already knew my name because they knew me from before I was walking with Jesus). I felt like Holy Spirit wanted me to let this man prophesy impromptu.

So I was praying for a man (wants his name anonymous) and the Holy Spirit gave me precise words of knowledge to speak life into Him. Then I was praying for deliverance (casting out demons) of the lady who was sitting next to Him and the the Holy Spirit's power fell upon Him, touched Him and freed Him from things that He was holding on to (also healed of a bad cough). Preached a repentance message to both of them and then other people came over and now they're telling other curious people (who saw what happened) about Jesus. They've both been water baptized when they were little but they will be getting water baptized again praise God. I want to encourage other believers to do what the Gospel tells us to do.'

'9 My heart is broken because of the false prophets,
and my bones tremble.
I stagger like a drunkard,
like someone overcome by wine,
because of the holy words
the Lord has spoken against them.

10 For the land is full of adultery,
and it lies under a curse.
The land itself is in mourning—
its wilderness pastures are dried up.
For they all do evil
and abuse what power they have.

11 “Even the priests and prophets
are ungodly, wicked men.
I have seen their despicable acts
right here in my own Temple,”
says the Lord.

12 “Therefore, the paths they take
will become slippery.
They will be chased through the dark,
and there they will fall.
For I will bring disaster upon them
at the time fixed for their punishment.
I, the Lord, have spoken!

13 “I saw that the prophets of Samaria were terribly evil,
for they prophesied in the name of Baal
and led my people of Israel into sin.

14 But now I see that the prophets of Jerusalem are even worse!
They commit adultery and love dishonesty.
They encourage those who are doing evil
so that no one turns away from their sins.
These prophets are as wicked
as the people of Sodom and Gomorrah once were.”

15 Therefore, this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says concerning the prophets:

“I will feed them with bitterness
and give them poison to drink.
For it is because of Jerusalem’s prophets
that wickedness has filled this land.”

16 This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says to his people:

“Do not listen to these prophets when they prophesy to you,
filling you with futile hopes.
They are making up everything they say.
They do not speak for the Lord!

17 They keep saying to those who despise my word,
‘Don’t worry! The Lord says you will have peace!’
And to those who stubbornly follow their own desires,
they say, ‘No harm will come your way!’

18 “Have any of these prophets been in the Lord’s presence
to hear what he is really saying?
Has even one of them cared enough to listen?

19 Look! The Lord’s anger bursts out like a storm,
a whirlwind that swirls down on the heads of the wicked.

20 The anger of the Lord will not diminish
until it has finished all he has planned.
In the days to come
you will understand all this very clearly' Jeremiah 23:9-20 (NLT)

'11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who was riding it is called Faithful and True (trustworthy, loyal, incorruptible, steady), and in righteousness He judges and wages war [on the rebellious nations].

12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many royal crowns; and He has a name inscribed [on Him] which no one knows or understands except Himself.

13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen, [dazzling] white and clean, followed Him on white horses.

15 From His mouth comes a sharp sword (His word) with which He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He will tread the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty [in judgment of the rebellious world].

16 And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name inscribed, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”' Revelation 19:11-16 (AMP)

'1 Who is this who comes from Edom,
With crimson-stained garments from Bozrah [in Edom],
This One (the Messiah) who is majestic in His apparel,
Marching in the greatness of His might?
“It is I, [the One] who speaks in righteousness [proclaiming vindication], mighty to save.”

2 Why is Your apparel red,
And Your garments like the one who treads in the wine press?

3 “I have trodden the wine trough alone,
And of the peoples there was no one with Me.
I also trod them in My anger
And trampled them in My wrath;
And their lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,
And I stained all My clothes.

4 “For the day of vengeance [against ungodliness] was in My heart,
And My year of redemption [of those who put their trust in Me—the year of My redeemed] has come.

5 “I looked, but there was no one to help,
And I was amazed and appalled that there was no one to uphold [truth and right].
So My own arm brought salvation to Me,
And My wrath sustained Me.

6 “I trampled the peoples in My anger
And made them drunk with [the cup of] My wrath,
And I spilled their lifeblood on the earth.” Isaiah 63:1-6 (AMP)

Ok Kingdom Family, today I want to address a very comfortable topic. Sexual purity. If you didn't know, both Jesus Christ and Paul were single men! They were the ones who preached on this topic...not married people!

Bible references: 1 Corinthians 7, Matthew 5:27-32, Titus 2, 1 Timothy 5.

For starters, let me make a confession before I offend some people with this very unpopular post. <3

As a single (unmarried) Christian man I am 100% free from any addiction to inappropriate contentography or masturbation. Now you don't have to wonder if I'm coming from a place of jealousy, hypocrisy, or frustration, because I'm not.

On to the topic.

There seems to be a lot of bullhorns on sexual purity for men (specifically unmarried single men).

Something I've noticed is that most of them are either

A. Married Christians (both men and women)

B. Single Christian women.

1. To *some* of the Married Christians.

Where was that zeal prior to marriage my married brothers and sisters?

Why are some suddenly taking the sledgehammer to masturbation (and inappropriate contentography)?

I know you didn't just acquire a false sense of security right?

2. To *some* (most if we're being honest) of the Single Christian women.

Are you dressing modestly yet? Does the Church ever cover this topic?

What about that make-up, perfume, or those skin-tight yoga pants and loose shirts some of ya'll love to wear at Church functions?

I know it's just because it's comfortable to wear right? Not at all for the attention and admiration of your Christian brothers? Especially in the winter time?

If you're going to preach on sexual purity, and you fit in either of these categories...have some grace in this area and check your heart posture before the Lord. Is it out of love?

Some have suddenly become zealous bullhorns for sexual purity on single Christian men and make it legalistic, hypocritical, and religious. Please have some grace in this area.

The Lord knows *some* of these (newly) married Christians suddenly taking a sledgehammer to masturbation were fornicating right before they got married. Some of them only married because they couldn't find freedom in this area themselves.

The Lord knows there is hypocrisy in the camp of single Christian women who are not called to account by most of the Church (this is not right). Watch that heart...that your preaching doesn't come from a root of jealousy, insecurity, or bitterness.

What a wonderfully comfortable and exposing topic. Your (married) Pastors and Pastorly people may not be able to speak like this...but I don't have to worry about what my spouse thinks! (yet).

There is no need for me to side with the feministic/jezebelic double standards that have infiltrated some parts of the Church. Honestly, I wanted to make this more exposing...but I'm in repentance.

I say all of this to say, be fair in your judgements on these things. Carry on making a stand for sexual purity.

Speaking as a Prophet/Teacher, I will never endorse The Passion Translation (TPT) for serious Bible study.

I highly recommend word-for-word translations if you want the comprehensive Truth of the Word.

A brief list of some 'Word-for-Word' translations: AMP, KJV, ESV, CSB, HCSB, NKJV, AMPC.

I do cross-reference various translations (also 'thought-for-thought) and languages in both the Hebrew and Greek (Concordance and all of it)

While most believers don't think the translation is that big of a deal, it is a very big deal because it directly affects the believer's belief systems and shapes their experience.

I love Brian Simmons and I honor all of His hard work in making the Passion Translation but I cannot endorse 1 man's revelational experience that is largely emotionally based, rather than based on the divine reason.

The Word 'experience' is used well over 100 times in TPT (I'm being generous, it may have been 300+).

I don't care if some of the 'elite' endorse or swear by this translation...it does not nurture or grow mature Christianity in the long run. It is great for 'seeker friendly' Churches but Christ wants disciples.

The Passion Translation does not make disciples out of new converts. It makes overly sensitive, feeling oriented, experience-driven Christianity. Freinds, this is quite dangerous for the new believer who should be building a solid foundation of Scriptural Truth.

We need to be deeply rooted in the Truth of what God says. Otherwise, a lot of Christians will be deceived in the later days because their minds were trained to reject any form of correction or rebuke...simply because it doesn't make them 'feel good'

Look around. What kind of Christians make up the large majority of Christendom?

Do they like to hear about Repentance?
Do they like to hear about Holiness?
Do they like to hear the Truth?

I would submit that there is a mocking and a scoffing principality over a large part of the Body of Christ. There is no fear of the Lord (2 Peter 3:3-9).

Intelligibility is great but also know that there are a lot of translations that have taken Scriptures out of the Bible. Some of them are not small details (i.e Mark 2:17 KJV).

I encourage everyone to be good Bereans. Acts 17:10-11.

You know...the Bible says that destructive heresies are not obvious. The KJV translation of 2 Peter 2:1-2 uses the word 'pernicious'

'1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of'

Pernicious - having a harmful effect, especially in a gradual or subtle way.

There is a reason a lot of Teachers and seasoned believers are concerned.

Something to think about.

For the left-wing Charismatics. There are no shortcuts! <3

'Love this..
many of us need to hear this.. many of us turn into altar and impartation chasers but truth is that we need to be more #Intentional about true purity that we produce, because no one else can produce it for us...' - Nick Acosta

I want to clear up some confusion about Teachers. The Body of Christ needs Teachers who can set a solid foundation of Biblical principles in the Truth.

In the Body of Christ, I have noticed a lot of disdain for Teachers and seasoned believers who can accurately teach or disciple the newer believers in sound Biblical doctrine.

It's astonishing how many lone-ranger believers (some in positions of considerable influence) I've encountered who don't think that they need instruction from the Word, even though they themselves are very misguided. This is a liability to the Body of Christ and it gets in the way of God's work.

I would like to present a Biblical passage (other than Ephesians 4:11-16) to prove that the Body of Christ (especially newer converts) needs Teachers who can accurately and rightly divide the Word of Truth. Anyone can teach but not everyone is a Teacher.

A lot of people say that 'Holy Spirit is the Teacher'...while this is true, in Acts 8:26-40 (AMP) we can see a Biblical account where the Holy Spirit clearly authorizes and leads Philip to give guidance and instruction to the Ethiopian eunuch. The Key here is that God had ordained this commision because Philip was a tried and tested servant of the Lord.

So the Body of Christ needs Teachers who are 100% devoted to the Word of God and to upholding its sanctity and comprehensive Truth, apart from the supernatural workings of faith. Philip did not do any miracles while teaching the eunuch in the Biblical example, He simply taught an accurate understanding of the Scriptures.

The same can be said of Priscilla and Aquila in Acts 18:23-28 (AMP). When they gave instruction to Apollos, it was to correct Him for more effective Preaching and Teaching...even though He was already well-versed in the Scriptures. So even though Apollos was already trained and equipped, there was still more fine-tuning that could be applied.

On a different note, there is often an identity crisis when it comes to (non-Apostolic) Pastors (at least functioning under the 'title' of Pastor). Some Pastors are in the Pastoral but are naturally far more gifted as a Teacher. Other Pastors are far more gifted as Prophets. Still, others should have been Evangelists. This is the importance of being able to hear God's voice for yourself.

The Title 'Pastor' has become very obscure. What I mean is that just because someone is leading a Church institution does not always mean that God had ordained them for that position, this is becoming more and more obvious as the Body of Christ matures...

Even so, at the same time, it doesn't mean that God-ordained Church leadership can't function out of more than one office because you can receive grace from God to hold more than 1 office (2 Timothy 1:11, 1 Timothy 2:7). Offices ordained by God are not static (unchanging) because the Body of Christ is a living organism. I do hope this helps someone see a bit more clearly.

'Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen' Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)

Cool stuff. Praise Jesus! Same Holy Spirit lives in any born-again believer. God is not limited by time or distance. This was from a simple facebook message.

To which I exhaust my Adrenaline and I go into shock and massive panic attack, with my heart rate shooting at 160 beats a minute. Blood clots are not to be messed with, the guy should always get professionally checked as a precautionary, I don't think this would be a lack of faith but a man whom the Lord finds approved by teaching him wisdom, and tests all things to make sure this comes from the Lord!
I hope all the above posts you were saying all this to me, massive effort I say. Trouble for me is I am a victim of spiritual abuse through many bad Church leaders and quite a few Churches, so have great trust issues with man, so I don't make a very good Disciple of someone whom takes a leadership role. At least at this stage in my life. So I hope all this wasn't for my sake, for your efforts sake I would try to read it all. (I am like someone whom received a severe case of Gastro now when I eat I get I few tummy rumbles, and are still on small meals otherwise I vomit.) -this is parable not for real, to explain my reaction to someone else's teaching.
-God bless.
