"Not by works" - false!

[jackrosie]

That is what I believed at the time..Reformyourself.........I have been thinking a lot about that..since I posted it.

I can actually remember hardening my heart up to something that God showed me.....i was a new babe and what he showed me was alien to me at the time I didn’t understand it.

So I guess over time without me even realising it....God softened my heart in that area......now I welcome what he showed me......so maybe I wasn’t being disobedient.

For me my journey with God.....has been an amazing walk.......developing a relationship with him over 28 yrs.....I am so close to him in spirit.....I couldn’t live without him.

Sorry to those who don’t understand what I say.......if I sound foolish I don’t mind..........I love being a fool for the Lord.

I can also remember it hurt like hell....when I hardened my heart...looking back I reckon that was God hurting inside of me.....how it must hurt God when we harden our hearts to God.....but I did it unknowingly at the time....only now do I realise what I did......God has showed me that...not myself.....so he got me through....all Glory goes to God.

Amen!.....isn’t it wonderful when he does that......he is humbling me at the moment....the peace is wonderful....nothing comes anywhere near to God’s peace.

Your love for our LORD is so refreshing...
To be honest by your previous post , I thought you was a babe in Christ because the love you have for Him shines so much through your post , so to hear you have been walking with Jesus for 28 years is very encouraging indeed , your post inspires me...

Thank you sis!......I fell in Love with God all of those yrs ago......I was on honeymoon for yrs.....to know his Love in my heart overwhelmed me.....that I believe was the Love I was searching for all of my life,.no man or woman can Love us as God does.....it is such a powerful Love......I thank him every day for it and the precious Holy Spirit...

Have I read this correct

Why would a believer/follower of Jesus..have to keep believing the gospel to be saved?

To me that doesn’t make sense....the Holy Spirit has taken up residence in our spirit....he has testified to our spirit that we are his child....?.....once saved you automatically know....in your heart.

You also have experience Gods unfathomable love,

there is no possible way you would deny Christ after this

 

[eternally-gratefull]

I am afraid your teaching is alien to me.....so I will leave you to it...I mean that “respectfully “....have a good day.

Oh he will keep trying...LOL

Another fyi!!

Make sure you tell her your doctrine says unbelievers will be saved too.

And as you can see he bears false witness also. As our believe states no such thing,

best to do what you said and leave him to it

 

[eternally-gratefull]

If that scripture did not answer your question, then I can do no better.

Sorry.

One verse should never persuade anyone, the Bible is one message from front to back

if your only proof is one scripture, you should rethink your beliefs

A Big AMEN to this post!

Well just glancing through, I see Judges is back. I shouldn't have been concerned it seems. lololol

For brevity I posted one scripture.

My beliefs come from scripture in total.

Thanks for your concern.

Besides, I know by experience that multiple scriptures do not persuade anyone taken in false doctrines either.

 

[Judges1318]

YOU'RE belief may not say that.
The new osas says you can go back to unbelief and you are still saved.
You have not been paying attention.

 

[Judges1318]

.

As long as your understanding of a verse or passage does not make other verses or passages wrong, you can indeed base what you believe about something from that single verse or passage.

 

[posthuman]

Only in the good and noble heart where the word is retained and flourishing in continued believing is salvation retained

who gives such a heart?

how to get one?

 

[Judges1318]

Uh, Judges did not go anywhere. You strayed out of your thread and found me. That's what happened.

 

[posthuman]

John:6:37:40 All that the Father gives me will come to me and I will never drive away.
For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me,that I shall lose none of all that he has given me,but raise them up at the last day.
For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life,and I will raise him up at the last day.

We were given to Jesus by God almighty...he knew and knows the born agains ,we are his children....which is the biggest honour anyone can receive!......Praise His Holy Name!

this sounds like "good news" !

 

[Judges1318]

who gives such a heart?

The potential for any one heart to retain and bring to fruition the word of God is contained in the heart itself. But it will never realize that potential outside of God's grace and mercy.

 

[Judges1318]

this sounds like "good news" !

You bet that's good news.
That's why you should stay in Christ and not go back to unbelief and be lost.
