The truth that many do not want to hear.

The truth is that you cannot continue living in sin and enter the kingdom of GOD. Even if you cast out devils, and have been used for miracles in the name of Jesus Christ, but you continue to work iniquity, Jesus our Lord will say "depart from ye, ye that work iniquity." (Matthew 7:21-23)

The truth is that one must truly repent. (2 Peter 3:9)
Even the demons believe and tremble, (James 2:19-20) but we must repent and bear fruit. Every branch in Christ Jesus that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. (John 15:2-13).

When you truly repent and believe on Jesus Christ as the Scirptures hath said, GOD will fill you with the Holy Spirit, and then.... and only then are you adopted as a child of GOD. (Romans 8:9).

The righteous shall scarcely be saved, (1 Peter 4:18) and the road is narrow, because many people want Christ but want to still have sin. But GOD looks beyond our words and looks at our hearts. That is why it is important to ask GOD to lead us to a godly sorrow that leads to repentance unto life. (Acts 11:18)

The ability to live holy and break free from sin is a joy and privilege, before the Holy Spirit filled me I could not live holy and had no power over the flesh. But now I can put to death the deeds of the flesh by the power of the Holy Spirit and live holy! Romans 8:13.

In the last days people will heap to themselves preachers that preach in such a way that does not condemn the audiences lusts and unfruitful lifestyles, this is already prophesied in 2 Timothy 4:3, May GOD bless you guys in Jesus' holy name!

The seed is a number no man can count which means I think some of the verses we use to say only a few make it are not being viewed through the best lens we can see through. I know... I used to have this position.

Just a bit of into... the most horrifying words in Scripture "depart from me, I never knew you" isn't exactly saying what we think it is. Oh... it is still just as horrifying (maybe worse)... but when it says, "have we not cast demons on IN YOUR NAME" the answer is no... period. In Hebrew, to do something "in the name of" another means you have done it in the authority of another... or in the character of another. These people who come to messiah asking "Didn't we...." actually THINK they were acting in his authority when in reality they were just being presumptuous... acting on their own whims but thinking they were operating under his authority.

I see your point, but i have a lot of problems with how you formulate this. Repentance may not mean exactly what ppl today think. Even jesus was baptized with the baptism of repentance, but what sins were he repenting from exactly? He was definitly doing it so....What exactly do you mean by the act of repentance. Since it is the only requirement that we must do "truly", you must have a clear defintion of it. What is it?

Also,what you're saying, if someone is struggling with - whatever you may call as sin - then they haven't "truly" repented?
I guess that leaves out the whole process of sanctification then? Are you now able to overcome all sin in your life, and to live holy as you say? Is this really true? I dont know how you define sin, but there somsething about "anything that is no from faith is sin". Is this how you lvie now after you became able to kill all sins in your life?

Pls clearify.

You say 1 pet 4:3 forewarns us about preachers that refuses to condemn the audience?

It says: "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;"

I dont see it saying we should condemn anyone. Why on earth would you preach condemnation to anyone?
