I am so concerned

[altya]

I see here are 2,633 members, just wondering how many are really saved. I don’t meaning saved by your own thinking or ideas but does your saving match the blue print of the bible. Are you really, really born again? While there is still time for you, please consider and come to terms with the Word of God.
I am concerned how many of the born-again Christians are really sold out to Jesus – You know that if we are lukewarm God will spit us out. Don’t forget about the 10 virgins too. No sin can separate us from God, is only the attitude from our hearts. I am pleading for those who are not taking their new Christian life serious enough to take up their cross and to follow Jesus. I am not talking about religion or your tradition but rather about your relationship with God. If you are very religious, change that for relationship. – First a very good and strong relationship with God and then built a relationship with your brothers and sisters in Christ, do not forget about your neighbor, saved or unsaved, we as Christians have to reach out and touch the hearts of all people. We are called to a duty of love. Let us stand in unity and please God with our lives.

Remember John 3:16!

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

You are saved by faith, not works! When you have faith, God will make you want to do good works!!!

I've never really understood "lukewarm". What was He talking about here? Can anyone help clear this up for me?

Some people like coffee "iced". Most, however prefer it "piping hot". Ever pick up a cup of coffee and fill your mouth with lukewarm coffee? I have spued it out of my mouth before, I guarantee. It is disgustingly between hot and cold.

Relationships are like this. They start off hot, but then they begin to cool and reach a point where they are neither hot nor cold. Just rather indifferent. If no action is taken by either party then people drift a part until suddenly years have gone by and one day you ask, "whatever happened to old joe?"

So when people choose to love each other, they must also choose to care for that love and nurture it, else it becomes lukewarm and fades away.

To me lukewarm means – you are not cold nor hot but so in between. If you where cold you would be able to receive the Gospel and repent and change your way of living. If you are hot you would be on fire for God, but lukewarm means you know the word of God but you don’t obey God because you are so careless.
Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth
