Ezekiel 33:13
When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
Easy to understand...
Who so ever, anyone who does this, all are welcome.
Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Normann said:Luke 8:13
They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
Hebrews 6:6
If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
2 Thes. 2:3
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.cygnusx1 said:Salvation
When the Arminian has grasped the Legal side of salvation , he will realise all Christians who are born of God's Spirit are aquitted , they are not in the place of bondage and death anymore , they have transcended both sin , The Law and death!
The Arminian arguement is not only negative ............ "hey folks you are saved but you know what , tommorrow you could be damned" some comfort for new born Christians !
it is also outside of the realms of Grace , it becomes nothing but a chore , salvation not by keeping the Mosaic law , but by turning the Gospel into another Law!
This is not new , the Socinians and Arminians fell into this trap and became introspective and morbid!
When some come to realise that salvation is not because of our performance but because of God's kindness , then some will want to live in praise and gratitude for the Lord only!
While many make salvation nothing more than a temporary experience which some insist can be picked up , lost and found and lost again then found , making it clear their very principles are out of synch with scripture!
And should some argue that with the right set of scriptures and a careful avoidance of all scripture that speaks against their position , that they have the truth , then remember all cults use the very same technique , and mark well , there is no cult in existence that holds to the Security of Salvation , not Mormon , JW , Spiritualist , Christedelphian etc ...........
why ?
Because they all have a works based mentality , and Grace means nothing to them . it is just a word , it sounds nice , but it may as well not even be in the Bible , for who would know if it was missing!!!
many may use the word Grace , but have no real understanding of what it means , and the same goes for Predestination , if it was missing from the Bible , some wouldn't shed a tear , some wouldn't even bat an eyelid , for it makes no difference to many and their philosophy whatsoever.
If the Lord is willing I will continue , but I am under no illusions , some will not change , the only thing that would make you change is if God did a mighty work in your life , I used to be a free-willer , but by Grace I came to realise that salvation is By Free-Grace .......... and I have discovered Grace Reigns!
Greetings Cygnus

Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
