BULLSEYE!
ACCURATE
BIBLE KNOWLEDGE!
It’s that simple as
“For they
being ignorant of God's righteousness,
and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not
submitted
themselves unto the righteousness of God.” (Romans 10:3)
It’s that simple as
“For by
grace are ye saved through faith; and that
not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man
should
boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
It’s that simple as
“But to
him that worketh not, but believeth on him
that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”
(Romans
4:5)
It’s that simple as
“I do not
frustrate the grace of God: for if
righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.” (Galatians
2:21)
It’s that simple as
“To wit,
that God was in Christ, reconciling the
world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath
committed
unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for
Christ, as
though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye
reconciled to God. For
he hath made him to be sin
for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God
in him.”
(2 Corinthians 5:19-21)
“You can lose God’s free gift of eternal life” you
have to smell a rat. This will inevitably be spoken by a man, or woman,
who
wrongly, but arrogantly and proudly profess, they have never lost their
salvation. Yes, not even for a single day in their life!
(That’s of course if he is saved)
Bob is in a panic. He thinks he’s currently in a state
of not being saved because he believes he ‘fell out’ of Jesus because
of sin,
and he ‘lost his salvation’ because he got angry without a cause.
Bob suddenly realizes and with horror says to himself
….
“Oh no! I’ve lost my salvation! Now I must get saved
again right now! I ‘d better pray.
But before he can the phone rings.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
He answers “Hello, Bob here”
“Hey Bob, it’s John. How are you going?”
“Not too bad John. I think I’ve just lost my
salvation. How are you?”
“Well, what happened last week was unbelievable. I was
going to the shops, when this bloke pulled out in front of me and … you
still
there Bob? Hello Bob? What’s up?
Unbeknown to John, Bob had suddenly had a heart attack
and dropped dead on the floor …
or
How about the scenario that a drunk driver crashed his
car into the side of Bob’s house and instantly killed him before he
could say
the salvation prayer again.
“Will Bob go to heaven before he got saved again?”
How about if you’re saved but you have wrong doctrine?
That’s a sin isn’t it? Surely then you can lose your salvation? Must
you have
perfect Bible knowledge?
It was on Bob and his goodness and purity and not on
Christ and his perfect life. Bob was constantly sticking the spiritual
thermometer into himself, and that’s a good thing, BUT NOT FOR
SALVATION!!!!
It means you are dealing with a man, or woman, who
questions your salvation because he or she observes you don’t live as
holy a
life as he or she lives. These people are self-righteous!
1. YOU CAN RIP YOURSELF OUT OF CHRIST’S BODY…
after being sealed in it permanently by the Holy
Ghost. This means you have lost God’s free gift of eternal security.
You have
been able to take it off yourself. So by and act of your will, you can
override
God’s will even though the Lord has said the following:
Furthermore,
they will tell you that when you got
saved, Jesus was not your Lord. They take the position that the “Lord”
and
“Saviour” are exactly identical, which they aren’t. They
misunderstand
the following scripture regarding the jailer
“….Believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved …” (Acts 16:31).
the
author of this article knew people involved in
this alternative form of so called ‘spirituality’ who would actually
call upon
the name of ‘Jesus’, ‘Jesus Christ’, ‘the Christ’, ‘the Christ Jesus’,
‘Lord
Jesus’, ‘the Lord Christ’, and even ‘the light of the Christ and
the Holy
Spirit’ and so on, for help and aid in their spiritual walk, but
they would
never invoke the name of ‘the Lord Jesus Christ’ as
this only
meant one person in the history of mankind! And they wouldn’t have a
bar of
that!
judge
the way you live your life by their own
standards of a perfect life – that they live. Furthermore, when you got
saved,
if you only called on the name of the ‘Lord’ to save you, you weren’t
saved.
They
have confused and confounded salvation with
discipleship, salvation with service, and salvation with
submission.
In
essence they say if you don’t obey the Lord
Jesus Christ like they do, IN ALL MATTERS OF FAITH, PRACTICE, WORD and
DOCTRINE, you must not be saved. Dear Reader, they are completely and
utterly
wrong!
