    Hi Jennifer Gods knows your need better than anyone else, also he knows your heart, these are for the mind to heal, He sent His Word and healed them. Romans 5:1+2 Peace with God, greatest cargoes of life come in over quiet seas.

    Romans 8:28-39 more than a conqueror and nothing [think about that] can separate us from the Love of God which was in Christ Jesus our lord. You and God are not at odds anymore he is your Father and fathers meet the need of all His Children.

    1 John 3:1+2 Beloved now are we the Sons of God, also 3:20-22 he's there to answer prayer and needs during confusion quilt, condemnation, because he knows we will deal with this stuff.

    2 Timothy 1:7 Anything opposite of these three is not of God.



    Change your mind change your heart

    Put on in the mind Colossians 3:15-17 also Colossians 1:11-14 and Ephesians 3:14-20 notice how many times Christ is mentioned. We were saved by confessing Romans 10:9+10 and at that time we received the spiritual power that raised Him from the dead that why Paul wrote Christ in us the hope of Glory

    Ephesians 4:23-32 Putting on the new man in the mind that's why I said change your mind change your heart. Proverbs as a man thinketh in His heart so is he.

    Philippians 4:6-9 Be careful for nothing means anxious in verse 6, now verse 13 notice through Christ again that's the power that works in us.

    Colossians 1:11-13 we are strengthen with might and we have been made partakers of the saints in light its incredible.

    We have been made more that conquerors through Him that loved and loves us and those scripture are part of that. There are over 400 promises in Gods word to us who believe we can only do whar we know and act on.

    Prayerfully this helps.

    Bro Dan Your second statement is absolutely non biblical and unscriptural, Gods Gift is given by confessing Romans 10:9+10 and grace free gift by believing its not let me give them something and see what they do. That is taking scripture and saying this is what I think God was thinking or doing. Gods motivation was pure love not a game to see what they would do, they being us were lost. Salvation is not based on works of the flesh, hence Gift. Believe what you please I'll stick with Ir Is Written! Let God be True In All His Works And Ways.

    Hi Delores Keeping it simple if genuinely born again i.e. saved meaning confessed[ Romans 10:9+10 and believed i your heart] we will see you upstairs so to speak.
  • Rick - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Hello Laura First you must be born again,[confess Romans 10:9+10 and believe it in your heart] also the information will never contradict Gods Word, it will always be a profit to you and Glorify Him. In James 3:17 The wisdom that is from above is first pure then peaceable gentle and easy to be intreated full of mercy and good fruits without partiality and without hypocrisy. God works with you individually, you can just know what to do a gut feeling, always a still small voice, and stay peaceful and focused.It will always be decent and in order no confusion, any confusion wrong source. Many times early in my walk I would ask myself where did that thought come from but then I carried it out and I was blessed. Also something to keep in mind theres a lot of horse sense to walking with God Think Phillipians 4:6-8 As much of Gods Word you know the better and remember Phillipians 2:13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure. He knows us better than we do our hard part is believing that. Last thing do whats written because if you don't do what you can see how can you believe what you can't see. Remember the bible is God Talking also only in print.

    Prayerfully this helps God Bless

    Hello and God Bless Nic God cannot protect people from sin, sin is the state we were born in Ephesians 2:1 or driven by the desires of flesh five senses. Now when you are born again confessing Romans 10:9+10 and believe and walk out on the faith given the faith of jesus Christ Gods viewpoint of you is sinless, all sin past present and future paid for and forgiven. The challenge for the Christian is now to learn to listen to the new man created in righteous by God which is the spirit inside and act or to do everything same as you did before you were born again i.e. old man nature which by nature was against God. Also a really big deal is not to beat yourself up when you sin, not saying don't tell yourself its ok, in contrast know or understand what was done wrong thank god for forgiveness and move on. Don't think that all believers aren't in the same boat so to speak that we don't all act in our old man nature unwillfully that's part of the renewed mind battle. Notice I said battle because the battlefield is the mind, Godly thoughts and actions or your going south. Prayerfully this helps.

    Hi Nic Brother there is a major difference between what you think in your head and believe with your heart, example there's times when someone can make you angry and you want to kick there butt but you don't carry that out. It was just a thought with no action, but a thought of the heart innermost part of being which is the seat of your personnel life is a whole different issue, confessing Romans 10:9+10 and believing that in the heart innermost part of your being and taking action on those scripture. Action on scripture gets results, mental accent says ill do it someday or may way but never acts on Gods Word.

    Do you believe you don't need to follow Jesus to be saved?

    A Christian is literally a Christ follower, so if someone prays and accepts Jesus into 'his heart' as a teen then spends a lifetime of sin and blapheming God is he 'saved' to you?

    What I meant previously by calling the name of the Lord is this verse: Matthew 7:21 - some will beg 'Lord Lord' and assume they were a Christ follower when in fact they weren't. Most people will go to hell. Jesus warns us of that repeatedly through parables and says to fear God. Paul says to run the race that he would 'win' the prize. Thse things they preached involve a life of action and effort- to transform into 'slaves of righteousnes', not someone kicking back smoking weed on the couch and enjoying being 'saved'. So, whenever I hear someone saying good works are bad, I know it doesn't come from God.

    Romans 10:13 presumes you're choosing to follow Christ in calling on the name of the Lord. It doesn't mean Hitler can mass murder millions and curse God's name, but a take 5 second break and just say the name of the Lord and be saved. It presumes someone is genuinely pursuing Jesus Christ which is what the definition of a Christian is. God knows our hearts and whether we are genuine or not. Satan loves deceiving people into believing they can sin all they want with no consequence, but that's far from what Jesus says in the Bible. God bless.

    Hi Jonas In Gods word there are a few translations of the word know or to know according to context, one is the word oida which would be i know mentally that there is this being called God I've been told about Him. The other is ginosko experienced by some one born again of Gods Spirit. Example of first I know Romans 10: 9+10 but haven't done it, the other Ephesians 1 :18 The eye of your understanding being being enlightened that ye may know [I.E. experienced understanding God works in your life and you manifest that] what is the hope of his calling and what the riches of his inheritance in the saints.

    And Phillip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

    Mark 8:37

    But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

    Matthew 13:16

    Then Peter said into them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

    Acts 2:38

    For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

    John 6:38

    And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

    Matthew 3:17

    And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

    Genesis 17:11

    So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing the word of God.

    Romans 10:17

    In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

    Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

    Colossians 2:11-12

    Know ye not, that so many of us were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

    Romans 6:3

    Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in the likeness of his resurrection:

    For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

    Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

    For he that is dead is freed from sin.

    Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

    Romans 6:4-8

  • Jesse - In Reply on Revelation 14 - 2 years ago
    Hello Bill,

    Here is what I believe about immediate salvation. I believe that salvation takes place the moment that the Spirit of Christ enters into our spirit. Without His Spirit, there is no salvation. Romans 10:13 says that all who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. I believe that to be a promise that if we call upon Him to have mercy on us that He will at some point save us. I can't say it is immediate because only the Lord knows our hearts. But the promise that He will is still there. It's as it is a guarantee.

    We are also told in Romans 8:9 that if we do not have the Spirit of God in us, we do not belong to Him. In other words, without His Spirit in us, there is no salvation that took place. So as far as when salvation takes place, I believe it is when His Spirit enters into our spirit. That's is when I believe that salvation takes place.

    What I mean by saying for some it is immediate, and for others it could take a while, and it is something that you yourself touched on when you said if it is sincere and spiritually made it is immediate. I completely agree with you on that, amen! I can say that that was the case for me. I said a so called "sinners prayer" years before I actually received Christ. It wasn't sincere. I did it in front of my mother and her evangelist friend in order to please my mother, not because I wanted to surrender to Christ. There was no immediate salvation there at that time for me, even though I called upon the name of the Lord. He had to prepare my heart and it took years before I was ready to receive Him and make Him the Lord of my life.

    I have a little more to say but am running out of space here. I am going to try and finish this up in a second post. I just wanted to clarify what I was saying. I don't see you as being argumentative at all. I'll send more as a (Part 2).
  • Jesse - In Reply on Revelation 14 - 2 years ago
    Dgjot,

    Something that sort of stood out to me was where you said that "You just had to take God/Jesus at their word." What I am understanding is that you were expecting some sort of grand experience after calling upon the Lord to save you, and when that didn't happen, you decided to just trust that the Lord would do what He said He would. That's about all we can do is take Him at His word and trust in His promises.

    I received Christ almost 25 years ago. There was nothing spectacular as far as experience goes. But like you say, I had to take the Lord at His word. Romans 10:13 says that all who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved, not might be, but will be.

    But with that, let me share this with you. It doesn't say that this salvation is immediate. But the promise is still there. Some get saved immediately, and for others it could take a while. You see, the Lord knows our heart. He knows if and when we are ready to completely surrender our life to Him. He prepares our heart until we are ready to turn from our ways and make Him the Lord of our life.

    As far as the incident you have been agonizing over for 48 years, the only advice I can offer you is to let it go. 1 John 1:9 says, If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If you've asked the Lord for forgiveness, you need to trust that He has forgiven you. He is a faithful and just Lord.

    And you are very welcome for what I shared with you on Hebrews 10:26. God Bless!!!
  • Jesse - In Reply on Revelation 14 - 2 years ago
    Dgjot,

    I would like to share a couple of things with you. You mention getting saved so I have to assume that you have surrendered your life to Christ and been born of His Spirit. If so, you belong to Him. Just as Paul professed himself to be a slave to Jesus Christ, we also are a slaves to Christ if indeed we belong to Him.

    The section you mention in Hebrews Chapter 10 is not talking about a saved person losing their salvation. Those who don't believe in the eternal security of the believer will use Hebrews 10:26 to show that a person can lose their salvation. That's not what it's talking about. It's talking about those Jews who were following along with the teachings, "receiving the knowledge of the truth," but instead of surrendering their lives to Christ, they were turning away and going back into Judaism.

    Those Jews had a very tough decision to make, either denounce Judaism and surrender to Christ, or turn back because it would be much easier for them to do so. If they received Christ as their Savior, their family would disown them, they would lose their jobs, and they would be kicked out of their own temple. That was their dilemma.

    So Hebrews 10:26 is speaking of those Jews who were considering turning back. So the writer is basically telling them that Jesus Christ is the final sacrifice for your sin. If you want to turn away from this gospel message and go back into your system of Judaism, your system of sacrificing for sin, there remains no other sacrifice.

    As far as where you stand, only you know where you stand with Christ. Only you know if you've fully surrendered your life to Him. If you have, your salvation is firm and complete in Christ Jesus. He is the final sacrifice for your sin. He purchased you with His precious blood. It is by His power alone that you are being kept until the day He comes to redeem His purchased possession (You and I). My friend, you have to trust in His promise ( Romans 10:13, John 6:39, 1 Peter 3:5).
  • Chris - In Reply on Mark 3 - 2 years ago
    Hello Joyjay. No human being, however wicked they may be, can be considered a demon. Demons are spirit beings sent out by Satan, the prince of devils. Those demons can certainly afflict or indwell a person who gives themselves over to them through various means, but every person remains fully human & fully in need to be saved through Jesus Christ.

    You haven't shared about your forefathers or how you may be considering them as demons, so I can't give anymore specifics. Your forefathers will always be related to you no matter how they have lived their lives. You are responsible for your own life & if you have family members, also to care for them, nurture them & lead them to live carefully & responsibly. I don't know your culture, but I would think that a person in any culture will never deny his heritage & his responsibilities to his fellow-man.

    As far as loving your forefathers, that depends on a person's inclination; some pay no heed to any one other than those about them - others, will go to great lengths to prepare (endless) genealogies & retrieve historical records/photos, so as to keep their memories alive. So be free to give love, respect or consideration to your forefathers, if you deem them worthy, but if their lives have been filled with evil, then we can learn to stay far away from their errors, & turn to the One Who promises us forgiveness of our sins, a new abundant life on Earth, & a sure hope of an eternity with Him. And of course, His Name is Jesus Christ, Who came as the Saviour for all men, no matter their religion, country of birth, or their deeds. Jesus gave His Life for you & me, so that we wouldn't have to suffer eternity without God & in everlasting punishment. John 3:16-19; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23; Romans 10:9, all giving us assurance that when we come to God through His Son, He will forgive & He will accept. Your forefathers may have not heard this Good News - today no one has any excuse. May you receive God's comfort.

  • Chris - In Reply - 2 years ago
    As ChrisE has stated, that God, by His Spirit, wins souls, i.e. enlightens the lost to their severity of their sins, makes the Gospel which they receive from us their healing balm, & brings about contrition of their sins & appealing to the Lord Jesus Who died for them.

    Romans 10:13 -15: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!"

    For the bearing & sharing of this Good, soul-saving News, God has given His children this responsibility. All we have to do is to share with conviction & love for the lost - the Spirit does the rest of the work. But when you ask of the "most effective way", then the matter of contextualizing comes in, i.e. when the Gospel is shared, it is done in terms of who is being reached, his culture, the situation he is in, & his understanding of biblical Truth. My ministry in the past was mainly to Muslims in Pakistan & some in the U.K. I wouldn't use the same approaches or Scriptures I use for them as I would to someone in a Western culture, who is probably not religiously-inclined & has a different world-view or different issues in life. So, we need to know about the people group, or the person (if you're referring to witnessing on a one-on-one basis in your country/neighbourhood).

    So, are you thinking of open-air street preaching, a personal one-on-one meeting, or even going over to a foreign land (on God's call)? Depending on your direction, you will need to adapt to the situation & the people. Most Christian workers going to a foreign land usually spend a number of years learning the language & culture & developing a rapport with the people. Only then will hearts begin to open.

    1) Concerns a kingdom: a political organization ( Daniel 2:44; Matthew 6:10)

    Basic Distinctions between Prophecy and the Mystery (C.R. Stam) - continued:

    8) Prophecy mainly concerns nations as such ( Isaiah 2:4; Ezekiel 37:21-22)

    Rightly Divided ( 2 Timothy 2:15) From "Things That DIFFER!":

    8) The Mystery Concerns individuals ( Romans 10:12-13; 2 Corinthians 5:14-17)

    10) The Mystery Explains Christ's absence from the earth ( Ephesians 1:20-24; Colossians 3:1-3)

    14) Old Testament writers frequently did not understand the prophecies made through them ( Daniel 12:8-10; 1 Peter 1:10-12)

    Lex Your conversion term i.e. being born again requires a few important actions. Believing which is action based between your head and your heart and your action mouth. Romans 10:8-10 an individual begins to realize he needs God in his life because he needs help from sin, eventually is told about what was done by God through Jesus Christ. Then with correct instruction gets Gods Word a Bible Finds Romans 10:9+10 up to this part its all action to get to an outcome then the beginning of the miracle of all miracles confesses the saviour from sin with his mouth and believes in His Heart innermost part of our being [literally seat of your personal life] that you confess with your mouth action believe in your heart to make jesus lord i.e. leader and believe God raised Him from the dead and your saved made whole and receive Gods gift Holy spirit. Trust me you'll know it's not just a feeling there is a peace you'll receive that is not of this world. It's the beginning of a life long walk of obedience and work to walk by the spirit that you've received.

    Hi Dan Brother believing is the starting place because without believing Romans 10:9+10 you cannot receive the faith of Jesus Christ to have the ability to walk in the grace. Many take no action because they never really believed better known as lip service or not believing in their HEART. Those can't change because they never really believed. The sadducees and pharisees were masters at having head knowledge of scripture but in their hearts far from God. Jesus Christ pointed that out several times, I believe he said ye HYPOCRITE. Nothing changes just different apparel, but by there fruits ye shall know them. In His Service

    Responding to you mentioning Hades and releasing the saints.

    Luke 16:23

    "And in Hell he lift up his eyes, (Note not hades) being in torments,"

    Many counterfeits refuse to translate the Greek word "haides". Rather than translate "haides" to the word "hell", the counterfeit will transliterate the Greek word "haides" into the English "hades". By this trick the counterfeit attempts to extinguish the flames of hell. Hades is not "hell". Hell is flames, torments, weeping and wailing, complete darkness - forever. Hades is a new-age place of purification, or a fantasy place in Greek mythology. The Assyrian Hades is an abode of blessedness with silver skies called Happy Fields.

    Then you also mentioned that Jesus went to release the other saints but the Bible says he went to minister to the lost souls.

    1 Peter 3: 18-22

    During the 3 day's before his resurrection.

    Christ descended to HELL to Preach to the lost souls in hell who rejected Christ in the day's of Noah.

    The generation before and during Noahs time never had the Bible or scrolls of the Laws of God only the very rich and elect few had knowledge of the old time law's.

    Because Christ said all will have a chance to repent and to get to now him personally.

    Romans 14:11

    For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God."

    Romans 10:14

    How then will they call on Him (Jesus Christ) in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in Him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?

    Meaning Questions The Apostle Paul was given all the information needed by The Spirit revelation in the Church epistles of how to get born again and receive holy Spirit in the age of Grace that we live in. If you choose to get baptized in water fine, In Ephesians 4:5 It says one baptism and water is not mentioned it is a spiritual baptism. Believing Romans 10:9+10 and acting is the key. P.S. I was never water baptized and have been a christian for 45 years. In His Service Don't let fear stop you from being delivered bu Gods Grace.

Repent and say forgive me then Romans 10:8 -11 Confess with thy mouth action thats necessary and believe in thine heart innermost part of your being or for the sake of explanation your gut. that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved [absolute tense] God doesn't mess around. verse 10 For with the heart[ again innermost part of your being] man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confessing is made unto salvation. or wholeness also look at Romans 2:4 2nd half its the Goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance.

    Romans 10 was written for those Jews who were still struggling "under the law". For there was a righteousness obtained thru the law but that law ended with Christ (vs. 4) Then the writer distinguishes our righteousness(which is as filthy rags Is. 64:6) and the righteousness that Christ gives you if you believe on him and that righteousness is faith(vs 6). Vs. 7-8 he asking do you(Jews first) believe in the authority of Jesus Christ to be able to rise from the grave. Vs. 9 is a continuation of the prior verses on believing the power of Christ it ends with:..."thou shalt be saved." it is a confession of the prior scriptures, not you ARE saved. Verses 10-13 are a reiteration of all the prior scriptures, ending with "made UNTO salvation, shall not be ashamed,(of who he is) all that call upon him, shall be saved yes that is true but that isn't all we need to do. Lets look at the REST of the chapter. Verses 14-16 talks about how can one call on Jesus unless they first believe,(TRUE) how can the believe unless they hear?(TRUE), how can they hear unless they are preached to?... and this is where it gets STICKY. What do I need to hear? and why would we need a preacher if all I need to do is Believe? Well the next few verses answers those questions(15-18) and right in the middle there(vs.16) he says an interesting thing: "but they have not all OBEYED the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath BELIEVED our report. Now he puts obedience and believing in the same verse....why? he answers that in vs.17 "so then faith cometh(keeps on coming) by hearing"....see we don't stop at just believing(I can believe all my life that I can cross the Grand Canyon standing in front of a bridge that will take me to the other side but if I don't take that first step UPON that bridge I will never get there) you see BELIEVING is the BEGINING, FAITH is EVERY step after that. "Faith without works is dead" James 2:20. I'm out of space PLEASE READ REST OF Chapter. God Bless.
