Hello Runningman, Well, I know that the seven sons of Sceva were going around and casting out demons. But I Don't know if is the same group mentioned above though. "Now there were some itinerant Jewish exorcists who tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those with evil spirits. They...

You got it! Below is what Jesus was talking about when He said, "Wherever there is a carcass (dead body) there will the vultures (birds) gather together." - Revelation 19:17-18 "Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice to all the birds flying overhead, “Come...

That's ok, Orphaned, He will change you immortal and glorified and raise you regardless of whether your sleeping, awake, in the shower, driving, playing video games or sleeping. Just make sure that you are continuing in faith and that your heart is not focused on the world and willfully living...

Are we saved by how we feel or by what we read and believed? If we are going to base our salvation on how we feel at any given time, we would always be living a rollercoaster ride. Remember, Satan and the powers of darkness, as well as the world, can influence our feelings. That does not mean...

Hello Angela, Yes, that is correct, we are dead in sin before God saves us. However, our salvation is dependent upon faith from beginning to end. That's our part. Though God foreknew us and predestined us for eternal life, He is not going to force those whom He chose into His kingdom by force...

NO, it is not possible to be saved after the death of the body! Today is the day of salvation i.e. while one is still alive to have faith. After the death of the body our records are sealed and there is no offer of salvation. This truth is demonstrated in the event of the rich man and Lazarus...

I'll be your Huckleberry! Sorry, I couldn't resist that line from Val Kilmer in Tombstone. Anyways, timing aside for when the gathering of the church takes place, how is it that you say that it has not basis in scripture? What conclusion do you come to, when it states that the dead in Christ...

You don't know what you are talking about here. The great tribulation is not 2000 years in length. You're introducing false information. You need to take your own advice. As I said, Daniel 9:27 has the tribulation as being seven years in length, with the last 3 1/2 years being the great...

Hello OldSage, First of all, the tribulation is not 2000 years in length. And second, Daniel 12:1 is saying the same thing that Jesus quoted in Matt.24:21 regarding the great tribulation period: Compare the two verses below: Daniel 12:1 "For at that time there will be great tribulation...

Non repentance would be to continue to willfully live according to the sinful nature after coming to Christ. Also, repentance is not a work of the law, it's a change of mind, a turning with God. If a person is unrepentant he continues living according to the sinful nature, which leads to death...

The word metanoeó means the same thing no matter which translation you use. As I said, I have many more scriptures which demonstrate the need for repentance for salvation. To not repent would mean that one would continue willfully living according to the sinful nature, which is why repentance is...

The subject of this thread is "Is repentance necessary for forgiveness?"

Which is why I listed the scripture which demonstrates the need for repentance. Why are you responding as though I was saying the opposite? I am posting below what I originally posted and which you responded to: "Although God overlooked the ignorance of earlier times, He now commands all men...

Hello soberxp, Do you not believe in the following scriptures regarding the living being changed immortal and glorified and being caught up to meet the Lord in the air?: "In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for...

Although God overlooked the ignorance of earlier times, He now commands all men everywhere to repent. – Acts 17:30 I have a document with a whole lot more scriptures regarding the need to repent for salvation, but I figured this one was good enough...

Hi Blade, See post #7 for the unpardonable sin

Well obviously as you stated in your post above that "I said I know Jesus is not a lie and he is the way the truth and the life," so you obviously don't believe what the Pharisees believed. Remember, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. You obviously have the fear of God in you and are...

Yeah, I agree! Biden is more like the head wound that didn't survive. But seriously, why do people assume that the beast is supposed to be an American president? Scripture supports this man being in the lineage of those seven kings. Not only that, but this beast comes up out of the Abyss and...

Nope! Can't say that I have. Never even heard of it.

Hello Prayerful, Be assured that you have not committed Blasphemy against the Spirit. You're not the Lone Ranger regarding those types of thoughts coming into your consciousness. Remember, the powers of darkness can, for lack of a better word, interject those into your thoughts. I'm sure that...
