Isaiah4031nc101 said:Thanks, I still dont understand what it means though. Maybe you can send a message or something to help me with this.
amdntstr said:Christ dying is what saved me. But it is what I do that insures that my spirit goes to heaven. It is complete obedience to God and a willingness to follow His Word that keeps me right with God. You have to cintinue to grow. If I died while I was backsliden, I would not have gone to heaven. If I died while I was a so-so christian, I would not have gone to Heaven. If I died today, I would. I am not perfect, far from it. But I repent everyday of my sins. Repent means to turn away from sin and try your best not to do it anymore. If your are still going to places that is pulling you backwards, then that is not repenting. If you put yourself in a position to be taought that which is clearly against God that is not repenting. You have to make a concious effert to turn your back on sin.
I have prayed about this as well. I again tell you I am not condemen =ing this man. But I still stand in what I feel is the leading of the Holy Ghost. I can not bend the conviction that He has given me because you think I am wrong. And no I have sinned since then but yes I was delived from the things satan afflected me with at the moment I ask Him in my heart. And yes I know what it is to be rejected by christians. My intent is not to send him to hell, and you have never heard me say one time that there is where hes headed. But I do believe some one needs to talk to him. If you dont think so start fellowshipping with the same thing and see how long it last. My pray and desire is that he get out of this mess hes in. Its dangerious deadly and full of deceict. So i guess we will just fold our arms and hope for the best. and I am not accusing nor am I a devil " and the devil pushes and accuses"followjesus777 said:Brother, i have asked you to pray about this to the Lord, i have already done so.
In answer to your question NO, i was not immediatly delievered from all sin the day i was saved, and neither is anyone it is a lifetime of refinement as one walks with the Holy Spirit...As i said b4 if one commits one sins one commits them all. Are you saying you have not sinned once since the day you became a believer?
Did you notice that Azzy changed his profile 2 times? He is listening to The Holy Spirit from inside himself and also the one soul that is lovingly mentoring him.
Some precious well intentioned believers have said they are trying to "save azzy from hell" etc. Rubbish! Azzy is already saved By his faith in Jesus Christ and The precious Blood which is the ONLY THING that saves us! He is growing and growing day by day!PTL Jesus!
Azzy loves Jesus! Jesus through The Holy Spirit is quite capable of refining and perfecting azzy's faith IN THE LORD'S TIMING because azzy's heart is right with God. Azzy is humble and willing to learn from those who are walking in Christ's love...forgiveness, mercy, patience, gentleness, kindness etc
i ask again in The Name of Jesus, that you will humbly pray and ask the Lord HIMSELF to show you, if these things i share are Truth. i pray and believe in faith that many can learn a great deal from this thread.PTL Jesus! Amen!
PATIENCE BRETHERN is a fruit of the Holy Spirit...the one who is mentoring is working in the Lord's timing not ours!
i didnt say you were of the devil ... that saying is to keep us believers in check from our flesh.Isaiah4031nc101 said:I have prayed about this as well.

followjesus777 said:Where you or are you relying at all on 'your works' or 'following the law' in this life to keep you saved???
Only God is faithful.PTL Jesus!
Dear sister I have pastored for 12 yrs, I have preached in meetings in the Phillippines to South Korea, all over this country up and down the eastern seabroad to fatherest places in the south, and your prayer for me is to change my mind on how I share thing. You see if your prayer is answered in the way that you desire it I cannot look at 2 Tim 4 1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.and be charged by The Word of God. I may as will tear that part out cause you have redender it useless. But I will stand on His words, and the fruits you can posses them and still be agaisnt the evils of this world.followjesus777 said:i didnt say you were of the devil ... that saying is to keep us believers in check from our flesh.
yes, i agree to disagree with you about certain things.
"Brethern, the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen"(Gal6:18; 2Tim4:22; Philemon1:25: Peter1:2)
God bless you, Love in Christ beloved!PTL Jesus!
"You will know them by their fruits!"

Now i have one more question. What happens when a believer in the Attoning Blood of Christ dies with
unrepented sin?
Is Christs blood sufficient???
There is nothing eternal about Salvation if there were any chance one could loose it...but that is a whole different debate...Perhaps then you would pray for me and azzy...Im sure we agree there is Power in Prayer.amdntstr said:Just because you are born again does not mean that you are saved from hell. It doesn't work that way. I have posted plenty of scripture that show this.
1 Timothy 5:17-25
20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
1 John 5:
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. 19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
Unrighteousness does not equal sin, though it is a sin. Here is the Greek translation:

unrighteousness of heart and life
a deed violating law and justice, act of unrighteousness
2 peter2:
14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
There is a huge difference between walking in unrighteousness and occasionally sinning.
"THOSE who do not love do not know God"...those are the ones that scripture refers to beloved. The religious leaders that follow the law were without love and the Holy Spirit, but the humble tax collector that doesnt rely on his works to save him but ONLY the Blood of Christ! Those are the ones that will Grow in the Lord, the humble in heart!amdntstr said:Nope.
Matt 7:
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
Even God used an ass, but the ass isn't saved. You can not prophesy in His name unless you are born again. These are people who were born again and refused to follow after Jesus and His Word.
Yes i agree, if we continue to live in sin and do not repent the Lord will chasen us and may even take our life but He will never leave us nor forsake us!bill16652 said:Without getting into a deep spiritual; debate let me say that man is a triune being just as God is, body, soul, spirit. The verse referred to earlier tells us that not all sin is unto death (spiritual death). Sometimes the body must be destroyed inorder to save the soul. Quick answer to dying in unrepented sin, if it is willful then no you will not enter the kingdom. Repent means to be sorrowful for and turn away. Does not mean you will not do it again but it should mean that you will do it less until you do it no more. This is why no man can judge another because only God knows the heart but we must work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
Yes but non are perfect pls we are are learning and growing day by day...remember the way you judge you will also be judged!bill16652 said:Jesus also said those who love will obey me.
That is not a judgement but a quote from Jesus Himselffollowjesus777 said:Yes but non are perfect pls we are are learning and growing day by day...remember the way you judge you will also be judged!
If JESUS the Holy Spirit lives in you HE WILL PERFECT your faith beloved, you do not do it yourself!bill16652 said:We may have to agree to disagree because it sounds to me like you believe in once saved always saved which I do not. If you dont believe that way then think about what you just said because it is saying to me live as i want and as long as i have love I will be saved but the bible tells me otherwise
