God wants to save Christians too. --- Say what?

[Raccoon1010]

There you go. I appreciate the effort.

Are you saying that you do not have assurance of salvation?

Perhaps you are the Christian that God wants to save? ???

Hopefully. I consider myself in hoping to be saved.

Hope is the basis of our faith

we can know we have eternal life. which is the promise we had before time began.

We may question it from time to time, that is what satan wants to do, get in our head and give us doubts. But if we hold onto the promise of God.. that is where we have the power

29 pages of his bizarre theology, is 29 pages too much.

Ive tried to get Him to tell us whose commentaries he's using, when he starts his Threads and Videos and Posts, that are always based on them.

He wont tell me. He wont tell any of us, as a few have asked Him.
He also does not deny it.

So, what does that tell you ??????????????????

Maybe he will tell you, @St. SteVen

If he does pm you, and tells you..... then at least you'll know.

John 3:8
"The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Amen!!...God promised me something 31 yrs ago...I’m still believing for it....sometimes I doubt and think it was all in my head.

Then God says......did my word not penetrate your heart when I spoke these words to you....

 

[St. SteVen]

Well said Brother...I feel sorry for the mods who have to sift through our childish behaviour.

Well said?
I takes two to tango. Behold started the "childish behavior", as far as I can tell.
But here you are to glad-hand them.

and what does it mean

Iwe can not seem to get a direct answer from you all..

Sounds like God wants to save you too. Go for it!

typical of you.

They both have been doing this for as long as I can remember.. Yet you and others always stick up for EPI.

why is this? what does EPI have on you all?

 

[Ritajanice]

Sounds like God wants to save you too. Go for it!

I’ve already been birthed in the Spirit.

He showed me something to come, when he spoke to my heart..

You can’t hear God unless you are Born Again...LOL.

 

[Eternally Grateful]

unless one is born again, They are still dead in sin. and can not enter Gods presence.. so they can not see the kingdom.

 

[St. SteVen]

Hopefully. I consider myself in hoping to be saved.

Hang in there, buddy.

Romans 5:5 New English Translation
And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God[a] has been poured out[b] in our hearts
through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

 

[St. SteVen]

I’ve already been birthed in the Spirit.

He showed me something to come, when he spoke to my heart..

You can’t hear God unless you are Born Again...LOL.

That's GREAT news.
You had me worried there for a minute.

 

[Laurina]

so when did this take place

Iwe can not seem to get a direct answer from you all..

So you are agreeing with Jesus??;):)

Is your response not proving the very words of Jesus??

OP ^

Acts 11:
[26] And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Considering DISTINCTIONS…

* “A” disciple IS a follower…of “something specific”.

* In scripture…”A” disciple IS a follower of the Word of God, who IS Jesus.

* in scripture… “THE specific disciples” IS revealed as “Twelve specific chosen (by Jesus) men” TO BE, “disciples / followers of Gods Word”, (Jesus).

* in scripture…”Eleven” of “THE” “Twelve disciples” chosen (by Jesus), complied.

* in scripture…”THE” Eleven disciples, (by their CHOOSING), replaced the ONE deflector…

* in scripture…”THE” Eleven plus the ONE (they chose)….NOT ONLY “followed the Word of God” (JESUS)…BUT ALSO COMMITTED (BY their own word, vow, to BELIEVE and SERVE ONLY the Lord God.)

* in scripture…By, through, of Their COMMITMENT, “they” “themselves” became:
Teachers of the Word of God…
AND
Recruiters of men that they ALSO become…
Followers of the Word of God, (Jesus), and they thereafter would be known as;
“A” disciple.

“THE” disciples…are distinguished as men expressly chosen by JESUS, TO follow Him, Believe Gods Word, AND by their word….Commit to their Belief IN Gods Word (Jesus).

“A” disciple…is distinguished as a man WHO expressly is/was CALLED (by Jesus’ Chosen men) to Join in following and believing Gods Word. (Jesus).

“A” disciple IS a following, believing, man IN the Word of God. (Calling himself, Called by others……A Christian).

“A” disciple (following, believing man IN the word of God)…. WHO Commits BY vow of his own (heartful Truth) word …
Becomes a CONVERTED man IN CHRIST JESUS.

Which is to say, THAT ^^ such man (disciple’s) BELIEF, extends BEYOND believing the Word of God, (IS JESUS)….
BUT ALSO …
JESUS (the Word of God), IS the CHRIST, WHO IS the POWER of God!
And such man IS freely WILLING to COMMIT and TESTIFY openly of HIS BELIEF and COMMITMENT.

Such a man calls himself and is called by others the BASIC TERM….A Christian….

However the FACT IS, that Which applies to that man IS that man IS …
A “Converted Christian” /
Because he IS a “Born Again Christian”.

Which Reveals…
“A Christian”…follower, disciple in Gods Word…..CAN AT ANY TIME STOP, fall away, and no longer believe or BE A Christian”.

“A Converted Christian”…(Also called a Born Again Christian) Reveals the following disciple Christian HAS further CHANGED….by, through, of….that man MAKING a testimonial vow of his own heartful TRUTH, that he BELIEVES…
Jesus is the Word of God…
The Word of God is Gods Truth…
Jesus is the Christ of God…
Christ is the Power of God.

AND that, by, through, of CHRIST JESUS, God has OFFERED men the OPPORTUNITY TO Once BECOME wholly (body, soul, spirit) acceptable to God and Forever BECOME WITH God and Forever God WITH that man.

A person calling themselves A Christian…is merely an indication they are believing and following THE WORD of God.

A person having committed themselves and calling themselves A CONVERTED Christian (or Born Again Christian)… reveals they ARE Secure WITH the Lord God Almighty Forever, and can NEVER Become (again Divided From God) and NEVER Become Separated from God, nor He FROM them.

There was, is and shall be MANY disciples (followers, believers IN Gods Word) who have, are, will Fall away from Believing IN Gods Word….BECAUSE they Rejected or will REECT to BELIEVE in their heart’s truth, that JESUS IS THE CHRIST.

THAT ^ has been a centuries long Dilemma for the tribes of Israel (primarily all calling themselves JEWS, and their religion Jewish), as well as other noteworthy Large populous World (identified by names) religions….Rejecting Jesus IS the Christ.

Presently the focus has been on Converted Gentiles Preaching and Teaching Gentiles About Christ Jesus.

In the end of days (as we know them), there SHALL BE MASSES of men (especially those calling themselves Jews) who WILL turn to hearing, (their own Tribesmen (not Gentiles), Preaching and Teaching and the Listeners begin believing Jesus IS the Word of God AND believing and committing to the Belief that Jesus IS the Christ.

Belief is a mans choice, Commitment is a mans choice.
Bottom line…Forever God shall be with a man WHO believes AND commits.

Glory to God,
Taken

John 3:8
"The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Yes, I agree with jesus..

10 Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? 11 Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man [b]who is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

See. this is exactly what Jesus meant when he said the wind blows where it wishes and we cannot tell where it comes or where it goes.

We do not see when the spirit regenerates us to new birth and gives us eternal life. but we can be confident that it happens..

do you believe all of what Jesus said?

 

[Ritajanice]

We do not see when the spirit regenerates us to new birth and gives us eternal life. but we can be confident that it happens..

Amen!!....because.

Hebrews 4:12​

​

New International Version​

​

​

12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.


We can’t see how he does it by the Spirit...we certainly know through the penetrating of his word to our heart....

 

[St. SteVen]

"... the yeast of these commandments..." - LOL

For those unfamiliar, my post was a play on Matthew 5:19.

Matthew 5:19 ESV
Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others
to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches
them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Uh... that's not the OP. (opening post) That's the topic title. Just to be clear.
See post #28

Have you weighed in on the topic OP yet? (read it first)
I liked your testimony earlier. Can you post something more, that is beyond apologetic glad-handing?

Does God want to save Christians too? Or is that mission impossible?
