    If I say I will trust in you Lord, am I deceived? If I say I will do the works that you have before ordained for me to do, am I deceived?

    That is a good feeling to know that you are saved and that God is with you. Can you give us your experience with being engaged in the Lord's work of saving souls? This is not boasting time, it is a legitimate product of being saved and having a new person. I would like all people on the forum...

    Works is not the fruit. The fruit is the result of good works. For instance when you cloth the naked, and feed the poor, and visit the widow and the captive, and you take care of injustice, these are all good works, and the result is one of God's children is relieved of the burden of this...

    I am not boasting, I am warning you to be engaged in the great work of the Lord to produce fruit for his kingdom or be cut off.

    How many times do I have to quote John 15:2. It is explicit that God cuts off every branch that is IN JESUS"S VINE if they do not produce fruit for His kingdom. Straight-forward from Jesus's own mouth. I do not knowingly lie, and I do no knowingly decieve.

    So you believe that those who got the highest rewards will find themselves nearer God and Jesus Christ, and those that did lesser and lesser and finally none, will find that their distance from God and Jesus Christ will be further and further away. Something like this?

    I'm a minion of satan because I tell people to be engaged in the great work of Jesus Christ? You must be a sick man.

    John 15:2 says that God will cut off every branch of the vine of Jesus that is not producing fruit. You can analyze that statement as long as you wish, but it is such a straight-forward statement, that any honest person looking for the truth and will not twist the words to fit their belief...

    Wow, there you go with satan again. I will admit I am not a perfect man, but am I near the status of satan, because I teach people to be engaged in the work of Jesus Christ and to produce fruit for his kingdom? How did I ever get so on your bad side?

    OK, is EL somehow divided into reward levels of some sort. If you recieve the highest awards possible, you go to the highest levels of heaven. And if you recieve the lowest awards or no rewards possible, you go to the lower levels of heaven. And if you earn some rewards, but not the highest...

    You must be a bitter, bitter man. I will tell you again, there are thousands of differences between our churches, but if we stay close to the bible and do what God has told us to do, we can call each other brothers and live in peace and prosperity, even in a world of confusion. I do not...

    Sorry calibob, the gospel of Jesus Christ is still "good news' today. Billions have never heard of Jesus, so we send our missionaries out all over the world to bring this "good news' to them, and when many hear it, they give everything they have to embrace it and in some countries it means they...

    You say EL cannot be lost by lack of works, but what about the works you were saved unto, and the works that Jesus had before ordained you to do, and admonished you that you should walk in those works? What if you don't do those works? Jesus just says, that's OK, come into my kingdom anyway?

    I am upset that the gospel is so tainted. I pray to God that I am not tainting the gospel of His Son. I try to follow all of the gospel. Is the bible not full of "do good works" kind of scriptures. Why is if full of "do good works"? If all we had to do was believe in Jesus, the bible would...

    Are you in the one true church? Because what you are saying is only your church saves and so only people in your church will have EL. Not me, or TT or decon, or VCO, or EG, only the people in your church?

    I agree if you are adding works to gain, embellish or keep salvation, you are treading on thin ice. However, if Jesus wants you to be engaged in good works that he before ordained you to and that you should walk in them, then I do the works he has prepared for me. Do you do the works Jesus...

    I said there are thousands of gospels be promoted by our Christian churches. I believe that my particular belief is the correct way to EL. It should not amaze you, you believe that your gospel is the correct way to EL. One day we will find out who is actually correct. Again we are not that...

    You are right Magenta. Lots of false gospels being promoted by our Christian churches. Stay close to the bible and do what God tells you to do and you will be OK, even in a world of confusion.
