Not By Works

yes many will say "we prophesied in your name" "done many works in your name"

doubt any will say "i prophesied by the power of God" or "cast out devils by the power of God"

Matthew 10:1 (KJV)
1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

let me slowly break this down

he called unto him his twelve disciple (had to include Judas, notice 12)

He (JESUS) gave them power against unclean spirits

the power of God to heal all manner of sickness

the verse you quoted doesn't apply here

the one who by transgression fell!

how did he fall if never saved

its a nonsensical argument..... buddy

John 12:5-6 (NCV)
5 “This perfume was worth three hundred coins. Why wasn’t it sold and the money given to the poor?“
6 But Judas did not really care about the poor; he said this because he was a thief. He was the one who kept the money box, and
he often stole from it.

John 17:12 (NCV)
12 While I was with them, I kept them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me. I protected them, and only one of them, the one worthy of destruction, was lost so that the Scripture would come true.

Some want to believe a lie SO MUCH, that they will ignore the truth, when it hits them in the FACE.

Please give a Scripture that prove Judas cast out demons by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus said, "... he that is not against us is for us." Judas betrayed Jesus. He was against.

I normally copy and paste further sections into the quote box

You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed.
1 Thessalonians 2:10

Is Paul lying, a hypocrite, empty and without promise?

Some seem to feel only hypocrites would say they were holy, righteous and blameless.
Are you saying we can all equally claim what Paul is claiming about himself?

You are just condemning Paul and the people of God.

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honour God with your body
1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Col 3:12

What you praise people do, what you condemn people avoid.

Why praise God? Why follow His ways? Why go to church?
Because we love Jesus and He gives us life, literally, everyday, and we feel His spirit touching our souls.

Until Jesus ministers to our hearts, all is just religion and words. How did the gentiles know God was there?

While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God.
Acts 10:44-46

This is what binds us, Gods action through His word in our lives.
Praise the Lord brothers and sisters that He has saved us.

Positive affirmation - The Lord affirms us to follow Him, and warns us sin leads to death.

The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
Gal 6:8

Do you love to walk in the way of Jesus, or is this just a way to avoid panic attacks?
The way of Jesus is never hard, if you are willing to listen and learn.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
John 3:16-17

But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Matt 18:6

Jesus lays out causing His people to sin is worthy of great judgement.
We perish because of sin, but following Jesus leads us away from this into Gods ways.

Amen! John 17:12 - While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. John 18:9 - that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, "Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none." Jesus did not lose Judas. Judas was already lost. Judas was an unbelieving, unclean devil who would betray Jesus (John 6:64-71; 13:10-11).

Syllogism

1. All given by the Father to Jesus are kept.
2. Judas was not kept.
3. Judas was not given to Jesus by the Father

Or, this way.

1. None of those given to Jesus by the Father will be lost by Jesus.
2. Judas is lost.
3. Judas was not given to Jesus by the Father.

Amen. Judas chose to betray Jesus, knowing all.
The church has been split whether he knew God, born again or not throughout church history.

Peter had a similar choice, denying Jesus, but he wept and knew in his confusion Jesus would forgive him.
Judas did not repent or come back and ask for forgiveness.

The jews were going to kill Jesus no matter what. Judas helped the process along.
The true betrayal was the rejection of Jesus and His ministry for rebellion against Rome.

Such betrayals happen all the time in fellowships, but we are called to love and bless, knowing the
hearts of many will lead them astray.

There is a big difference between "son of perdition/unbelieving, unclean devil/betrayed Jesus" and "get behind me Satan" in this isolated situation when Peter unwittingly, was speaking for Satan. Jesus had just revealed to His disciples the plan that He was to go to Jerusalem to suffer, die, and be raised to life again on the third day (Matthew 16:21; Mark 8:31) contrary to their expectations. The disciples were not prepared for this new revelation and though Peter understood His words, he could not reconcile his view of the conquering Messiah with the suffering and death that Jesus spoke of. So Peter “began to rebuke Him” for having such a fatalistic mindset. This was only temporary, but Judas' betrayal was permanent.

still waiting-

Sabbath- option or required?

And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

Jesus gave this power to all 12


Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
Matthew 10:1‭-‬4 KJV

Further, I think Jesus was speaking DIRECTLY to satan, and NOT Peter. Satan very well could have been standing right next to Peter, whispering evil in his ears. Jesus may have been able to see him doing this.

I do NOT believe satan was in Peter. That was the distinction between the two.

I am having a hard time also.

You seem to have digressed to act like all the others, you will not even confess when you make a mistake.

All i am trying to do is open your eyes, to see what you are doing because i care!

As for the difference. It is not very difficult to know one is a title given by God, to a man indwelt and controlled by satan, and the other is a. Harsh word which made its point. Which people do al, the time, HUGE DIFFERENCE!

In Matthew 10:1, we see that Jesus gave His 12 disciples power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. This would include Judas Iscariot, yet Jesus referred to Judas Iscariot as an unbelieving, unclean devil who would betray Him. (John 6:64-71; 13:10-11). Apparently, Judas believed that Jesus' name has the power to cast out demons, but did not truly believe in His name and become a child of God (John 1:12), but instead was the son of perdition (John 17:12).

Once again, i can yell to,

The dude was a thief from day one, is a habitual sinner living in sin saved?

He was called an unbeliever, is an unbeliever saved?

He followed jesus because he wanted to be part of the kingdom with messiah ruling, not because he thought he needed saved. As soon as he understood jesus was not going to do what he thought, he ran, and turned jesus in for a few bucks. Many walked with jesus and did many things, it does not mean they all were saved!

Eternal life is eternal life

If it can be lost, ITS NOT ETERNAL now is it?

Your making it a religious term which can be thrown around like a ball, tossed to and fro.

Its not

It means one has passed from death to life, and that life is eternal

John said we can KNOW we have it, and it is this KNOWLEDGE that gives us power to continue to believe. We do not continue to believe to earn it, gods gift empowers our ability to keep th faith especially in hard times.

Once again, you give descriptive passages (they describe those who have eternal life) not prescriptive (things needed to earn eternal life)

Eternal life is a gift, not something you can earn by doing good works. And yes, trying hard to stay in belief to maintain salvation would be a work of righteousness which you are doing

Paul said we are not saved by those works.
