    Matthew 25 25 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their...

    Matthew 22 22 And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. 4 Again, he sent...

    When you first believed in Jesus, you were justified. The word justified implies a few things so that you fully understand it. It firstly means (1) PEACE WITH GOD. Up to this point you were alienated from him because of the stain of your sins. Jesus (God and Man) in One was able to bridge the...

    Which of those listed are you permitted to live in? If you are an unrepentant liar, then God would not be true to His word when he says in the last book of the Bible "14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates...

    If we by the Spirit put to death the misdeeds of the body we will live. Do you have the Holy Spirit? Do you seek to be led by the Holy Spirit? Then you won't have a problem. He supplies the power (can even give the power to grant you repentance 2Tim2v25- still your choice to, but you can ask God...

    You were walking a tightrope. It could have gone either way. I believe if you died in that state you might have been found wanting. But God loves you and desired you to come to repentance (which you did). That is God's mercy in action.

    Apostasy 101

    Its a fleshly gospel. You can have a superficial belief in Christ as saviour (but not as Lord). You don't need to repent because you repented sometime at conversion (if at all). You don't need to CONTINUE to BELIEVE because you can throw the law-book at God and demand that He fulfills the...

    Yeah look at the supporting scriptures around this piece you posted. 2 Corinthians 12 20 For I fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest there be contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions...

    Apostasy 101

    Simple. Matthew 5v48 is answered by 1 John 1v7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. Then we are perfect. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin. However, 1 John...

    OSAS have a real problem with this one. According to OSAS doctrine of NEVER EVER BEING POSSIBLE TO LOSE YOUR SALVATION, you could blaspheme the Holy Spirit after you are saved and still have no consequences. Even though the Lord says there is no forgiveness for the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit...

    I would add to this, that he is most likely extremely angry that there is a plan of salvation for mankind alone, but not the angels. But this is mere supposition.

    At the moment, there is nothing that God is bringing to my attention, in respect of conviction. Am I always sin free? No. None are. But am I presently actively participating in vice? No. So I can rest in this assurance I have in Him. Are you presently in repetitive vices? If so, why have you not...

    It can be inferred. Revelation 12 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” - He knows he is under judgement. He knows his...

    Am I your standard, or is the Word your standard? And if your answer is the Word, then why do you concern yourself with that question? Will I judge you on that day, or will the Word judge you?
