No it says Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child,Because they are children of the devil and not of God. READ IT.
Thats not true according to scripture many wil abandon there faith in the last days...
Who is "us"? You're begging that question continually. There are millions of sloppy, lazy, immoral pseudo-believers who need to hear a message of "hell, fire and brimstone"...NOT your message which is that everybody is saved, saved, saved.the scripture is clear that believing in Christ seals us with the Holy Spirit and He is in us forever
Quite the silly taunt. I do not believe in "saving myself". That is just a straw man that you erect.If you believe you need to save yourself - then better get busy!
Well...you sound like you're trying to rebut something. Just can't tell what it is exactly . Again, who is "us"? You're begging that question.The truth is when we preach and teach the grace of God in Christ - it supplies the nutrients to grow in the Lord and His fruit will manifest in and through us for a life-time of manifesting His life for others to see the love and grace that our loving Father has for them. They don't need a religion - they need Christ Himself.
No it says Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child,
Anyone being the key word... you go and read it again..

What do you say to a pseudo-believer who hangs out at your church and says all the right churchy-church lingo ("praise the Lord for the blood of the Lamb" etc.) but practices sin all during the week (shacking up, fornication, etc.)???
You would say - "praise the Lord, he has called upon Christ - he is signed , sealed and delivered - praise be!".
In dramatic contrast, here is what the Bible says - "do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God." 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
It is possible for people who act Christian-ish to "be deceived" and split the gates of Hell wide open. And people like you stand in the way of people like me, falsely accusing us of "salvation by works...because we are trying to warn these pseudo-Christians to...snap out of their self-deception.
anyone means exactly waht it says and means,,, humm i wonder if the oxford dictionary based salvationist will argue this with tht Oxford dictionary as verbiage and past tense nonesence ?so they are NOT God's child. They were never one of His own.

No you using the word Queer for a genuine honest question of the meaning of anyone meaning just about anyone is bit nutjob to me..your peculiar interpretation of 'anyone' in that passage is queer or odd.

'Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child.'. To a normal person that means that the person who does not do what is right is not God's child. Full stop. And if they are not God's child they never have been.
YOU may be careless with your children. God is NOT.
If you are doing the work to GAIN salvation, You are doing something to EARN a reward. Gods gift is not a prize or a reward for good works. It is a gift. He said to recieve it. Thats it..
Those who call out on the name of the lord were saved the moment they trusted Christ, The calling out was proof of their faith.
If you want to try to earn a gift,. Feel free.. I will continue to trust Christ assured he will keep his promise.
1 John 3:10-18New International Version (NIV)
[SUP]10 [/SUP]This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.
It says if you do not love your Brother you are not baring fruits and you will wither...
so they are NOT God's child. They were never one of His own.
Is he not loving though that when his children do not do what is right to correct them?
God is not careless with his children but loving
I suggest you look at context. But it explains your queer beliefs.
He only chastens SONS...not LOST MEN.....and CHILDREN do not get whipped for doing right and or not sinning.....their logic misses the mark by about 5 light years.....!
