..called to BE a Saint
Try as you might, but you have no power to save!My dear sister, the place that you are at, is the place were we try to get those struggling Christians to, and there are many paths and ways to that place.
Revelation 7:9-12
After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Isaiah 44:8
Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
Isaiah 19:20
And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
Isaiah 45:21
Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
Luke 2:11
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Psalm 22:3
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
Agreed.When we accept our Lord Jesus Christ into our life, it’s said that we are “born again”, and “saved”.
Though I suspect, according to your words, that salvation is fickle in your eyes and that you do not believe Jesus is able to make us stand.
Perhaps this may be, but who are you to judge who is and isn't saved? Hrmm?Yet you adamantly deny this is the following;
Yet, if they believe God is willing and able to save them in the Person of Christ Jesus, is He not oblidged to fulfill His Word?
“Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God… Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” (John 3:3 & 5-6)
“Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever” (1 Pet. 1:22-23).
“He who believes and is baptized will be saved” (Mark 16:16)
Sad as it is, many who believe they are saved, are not!
Only God see's the heart!?
That sure foundation is none other than Christ Jesus, the Living God, you confuse the subject;The foundation of a new born-again is the “incorruptible seed of His Word”,
1 Corinthians 3:11
For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
John 5:39
Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me;
It is the PERSON of the Living God who saves, not doctrine!
God saves!
2 Corinthians 1:21
Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
So then, everyone who's not baptised in water, but everyone who has experienced the baptism of the Spirit, co-crucified with Jesus, is not saved, is that it?they believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and are baptised in water;
You confuse the subject, and you add WAY to much info!
What is needful is a soft touch for our sister, and you end up throwing bricks?!?
The baptism of water, done by the hands of men, does NOT save us, and teaching otherwise is un-Scriptural!
This is not the case with every believer! You make a blanket statement and expect every unique individual to fall into your box? Some experience a burst of revealation and enlightenemnt by the Grace of God! For others, santification is a process, but one which is guaranteed to succeed, for Christ Jesus Sanctified HIMSELF on our behalf.and then build a personal relationship with, and have a real knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, our Heavenly Father, and the Holy Spirit. When we know our Lord Jesus Christ and trust Him, then there is hope, power and victory to be found in His person through His Word and His Commandments.
There is only one blanket statement that is true;
1 Timothy 1:15
Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:
And again I quote:The 21st Century in these “the last days of perilous times” and the days ahead of us in the future can be testing, alarming, and full of many obstacles, temptations, and trials.
2 Corinthians 1:21
Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
John 10:29
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
Zechariah 8:13
And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.
Isaiah 35
Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
Hebrews 12:12-13
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
Again you look to man!Sadly many Christians are ill prepared and have no idea, or are aware of what evil lays before them and around them. Many live a life of desperation, as the system around them has not been kind to them. They have not been prepared, because their church leaders have not fed or tended their needs through good and sound doctrine, and lack any spiritual insight.
As Christian we have no need for anyone to teach us, for the Holy Spirit yearns in us to jealousy, revealing the way escape by abiding in Christ.
And God is able to make us stand!!!
Romans 14:4
Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
2 Thessalonians 3:3
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
Romans 5:5Lost in their lonliness and self-pity they cling to a thin thread of hope that somehow our Lord Jesus Christ will breakdown their strongholds, and break through their fog of despair that has surrounded their life before they were saved and continue on after their salvation.
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans 15:9-13
And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people. And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
God see's no sin, why do youThe sin within the Body of Christ has become enormous as the doors of His churches are being buffeted by much false teaching through the infiltration of new age, and other religion’s thinking, beliefs, and practices.
?!?
God see's the Blood, why don't you?!?
God the Father see's Christ crucified for the sins of the world, and risen for the Justification of the Saints, why don't you?!?
Hebrews 7:25
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Heritage smeritage, what matters is Christ, and Him Risen!Many are conforming to the world through political correctness; discrimination; accusations; humanism; and secularism, which have broken down the very Christian heritage that founded Christian-Bible-based countries.
I was tempted to post this in private, at your say so, but seeing as it is a public post and my sister would be greatly encouraged to hear your clanging voice rebuked, I posted it here.Anyway, this is an advice forum, not a debate forum. So I'll leave it there.
Blessings!
Peace my sister!
In Jesus Name!
2 Corinthians 4:12
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
