“The NT Born Again & ‘OSAS’ – 101”…Blog.



“The NT Born Again & ‘OSAS’ – 101”…Blog.

*** (Hebrews 5:9) And being perfected, He [Jesus] became the Author of “Eternal salvation” [Not Temporary] to all those who “OBEY” Him, [John 7:38-39]

*** (James 2:19) You believe that there is one God, you do well; even the demons believe and tremble.

*** (Revelation 20:15) And if Anyone was NOT found having been written in the Book of Life, he was cast into the Lake of Fire.

*** (John 3:3) Jesus answered and said unto him; Verily, verily, I say unto you: Except a man be born again; he Cannot enter into the kingdom of God. [Ephesians 1:13-14]

Question: “What happens when One, is Born Again”…?

*** (1Corinthains 12:13) For also by one Spirit we are all baptized [John 7:38-39 & Acts 15:8-9] into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free, even all were made to drink into one Spirit.

*** (Titus 3:5) NOT by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,

*** (Romans 8:9) You, however, are not of the flesh but under the control of the Spirit, since God's Spirit lives in you. And if anyone doesNOT”… have the Spirit of Christ: he does “NOT”… belong to Him [Christ].
             
*** (Jude 1:19) These be they who separate themselves, sensual: having NOT the [Holy] Spirit.

The Simplest Explanation: is that… “Holy Spirit is Salvation”…! IF One does “NOT” have the Holy Spirit… “Romans 8:9”… they are NOT” Born Again…! Salvation is NOT walking a Church Aisle or Joining a Church Denomination…! It is “NOT” saying the Sinners Prayer… or Praying to Receive Christ into your Heart…! It is ONLY… A “Divine Transaction” between the Sinner and GOD…! An easy way to Check about “Biblical Salvation”… is to see what the “SCRIPTURES” Say… and “NOT” what someone tells You…! Christ Jesus “PROMISED” Salvation… [John 7:38-39]… for a “Correct” belief in Him and His Finished Work of Redemption…! Can You Quote… that Bible Verse”…? His Promise was “CONDITIONAL”… on True Scriptural Belief…!

*** (John 7:38-39) The one who believes in Me [Jesus], as the Scripture has said, will have rivers of living water flowing from his heart." [Romans 8:9]
(John 7:39) Now He [Jesus] said this about the [Holy] Spirit, Whom those who were believing in Him were to receive. For the [Holy] Spirit was Not yet present, because Jesus had Not yet been glorified. [Acts 2:1-5]

*** (Acts 15:5-to-11) But some of those from the sect of the Pharisees, having believed, rose up, saying, It was necessary to circumcise them and to command them to keep the Law of Moses. [Galatians 5:4]
(Acts 15:6) And the apostles and elders were assembled to see about this matter.
(Acts 15:7) And after much disputing, Peter rose up and said to them, Men, brothers, you recognize that from ancient days God chose among us that through my mouth the nations [Gentiles] should hear the Word of the gospel, and believe.
(Acts 15:8) And God, Who knows the hearts, bore them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit even as to us.
(Acts 15:9) And He put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
(Acts 15:10) Now therefore why do you tempt God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples, a yoke which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
(Acts 15:11) But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, according to which manner they also believed.

*** (Ephesians 1:13-14) in Whom also you, Hearing the Word of Truth, the gospel of our salvation, in Whom also believing, [Acts 15:8-9] you were “Sealed” with the Holy Spirit of Promise,
(Eph 1:14) Who is the earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. [Romans 8:9]

(Ephesians 4:30) And do Not -> “GRIEVE” -> the Holy Spirit of God, by Whom you are Sealed until the day of redemption.

“The Anointing – 101”…Blog.

This “DIVINE TRANSACTION”… is carried out by GOD Alone… “Giving the HOLY SPIRIT”… to those WHO… believe the Scriptures and the Finished Work of Redemption by Christ Jesus! HE is… Christ Jesus [Messiah], the Passover Lamb of God… “1Corinthians 5:7”… the “LORD of Lords” and “KING of Kings”…! Salvation is “ONLY” by HIS… “Love, Mercy & Grace of God”…! No human effort is involved…! Even “REPENTACE” is a Gift of God… “1Timothy 2:25-26”…! You “Cannot claim”… Any effort to your Salvation!

*** (Romans 11:6) But if by grace, then it is no more of works; otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it is of works, then it is no more of grace; otherwise work is no more work.

*** (Ephesians 2:8-9-10) For by grace you are saved through faith, and that “NOT” of yourselves, it is the gift of God,
(Eph 2:9) NOT of works, lest anyone should Boast.
(Eph 2:10) For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.

*** (Titus 3:5) NOT by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us; through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,

*** (2Corinthains 3:5) NOT that we are sufficient of ourselves, to think “Anything” as of ourselves; But our sufficiency is of God [Alone];

*** (2Corinthians 4:7) But we have this Treasure [Romans 8:9] in earthen [our human bodies] vessels; that the excellency of the [His Holy Spirit] Power; may be of God; and –> ‘NOT’ of us.

“Salvation is Instantaneous – Understanding Grace is NOT – 101” …Blog. [1/3]

*** (Proverbs 4:7) Wisdom is the main thing; get Wisdom; and with all your getting get Understanding.

Do You prepare your “Heart”… before “Prayer & Bible Study”…? Did You know that Satan does NOT want You to… “KNOW: What the Scriptures Teach”…? When You do, You can effectively Share the… “TRUE GOSPEL”… with Others…! When we “ALL” stand before Christ Jesus at His Judgment Seat: we will “Get” or “LoseRewards: based on the Scriptures Alone…!... [1Corinthains 3:13-14-15]…!   Your preacher will NOT run up and tell Jesus… “I told ‘him’ or ‘her’… what to Believe”…! You yourself “ALONE”… are “Responsible”: for your Beliefs about… “Christ, God, the Holy Spirit and Bible Doctrine”…! Just WHY… do You think the Holy Spirit put these “WORDS” in the Scriptures…?

*** (John 12:48) He who rejects Me [Jesus] and does Not receive My Words; has One who judges him; the Word that I have spoken; the same shall ‘Judge’ him in the “Last Day”.

*** (Acts 17:11) These people were more receptive than those in Thessalonica. They were very willing to receive the Word, and every day they carefully examined the Scriptures to see if those things were so. [Or NOT!]

*** (2Timothy 2:15-16) STUDY EARNESTLY to present yourself to God as an approved worker who has nothing to be ashamed of, handling the Word of TRUTH: with “PRECISION”.
(2Tim 2:16) However, avoid pointless discussions. For people will become more and more ungodly,

*** (Matthew 23:24) Blind guides who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!

“Bible Study: Academic or ‘Worship?’ – 101” …Blog

Question: What did the “Apostle Peter” Say about the “Apostle Paul”… by the “Holy Spirit”…?

*** (2Peter 3:15-16) And think of the long-suffering of our Lord as salvation; as our beloved brother Paul also has written to you; according to the wisdom given to him.
(2Pet 3:16) as also in all his letters, = speaking in them of these things; = in which are some things ‘hard’ to be understood, = which the ‘Unlearned’ and ‘Unstable’ = “Pervert”; = as also they do the rest of the = “SCRIPTURES”; = to their own destruction. [1Corinthains 16:22].

*** (Matthew 11:27-to-30) All things are delivered to Me [Jesus] by My Father [God]. And no one knows the Son [Jesus]: except the Father [God]. Nor does anyone know the Father [God] except the Son [Jesus], and the one [You]–> to whom the Son [Jesus] will reveal Him [God].
(Mat 11:28) Come to Me [Jesus] all you who labor and are heavy laden; and I will give you rest.
(Mat 11:29) Take My yoke on you and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest to your souls.
(Mat 11:30) For My yoke is easy; and My burden is light.

*** (1Corinthains 16:22) If anyone does Not love the Lord Jesus Christ; let him be accursed [Damned]. The Lord comes! [Again]

Do you Present an ‘UNBALANCED’ presentation of the GOSPEL...?
 
*** (Acts 20:27) For I did ‘Not’ keep back; from declaring to you; “ALL” the counsel of God.

*** (Mark 1:35) And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, HE [Jesus] went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

*** (1Samuel 3:21) And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the Word of the LORD.

*** (1Corinthains 4:2) And the rest, it is sought among stewards that one be found “FAITHFUL”.

Please find these Additional Bible Blogs… with Information & “Scripture  References” to the HOLY SPIRIT… and HOW He works in Salvation…? These are ‘part & parcel’ to HOW the Holy Spirit Works… in those Seeking God’s Truth…!

“Can ONE: be ‘Turned Away’ from Salvation in Christ? – 101” …Blog. [1/2]

*** (2Timothy 3:15-16-17) And that from a CHILD you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
(2Tim 3:16) All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for Doctrine, for Reproof, for Correction, for Instruction in righteousness:
(2Tim 3:17) That the man of God may be Perfect, thoroughly Furnished unto all good works.

“Can ONE: be ‘Turned Away’ from Salvation in Christ? – 201” …Blog. [2/2]

*** (John 12:48) He who ‘Rejects’ Me [Christ Jesus]; and does ‘Not’ receive My Words; has One who judges him; the WORD -> that I have spoken; the same shall ‘Judge’ him in the “Last Day”.

One Last Thing…? Everyone knows someone WHO has professed to Know Jesus… and then Walked Away and returned to their… “Debauched Lifestyle”…! They use that Experience to say that ONE can lose their Salvation… INSTEAD OF THE SCRIPTURE… which Says… *** (1Jn 2:19) They went out from us, but they were Not of us; for IF: they were of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out so that it might be REVEALED: that they were ‘Not’ all of us. “GOD… Spanks” [Chastens]… His Real Disobedient Children…!

*** (1Corinthains 11:30) That's why so many of you [Christians] are WEAK; and SICK; and a considerable number are DYING.

*** (Hebrews 12:6-7) for whom the Lord loves He chastens, and He scourges every son whom He receives." [John 15:1-2-3]

(Heb 12:7)  If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons, for what son is he Whom the Father does Not chasten? [None!]

“The NT Born Again & ‘God’s Chastening’ – 101” …Blog.

*** (1Peter 4:17-18) For the time has come for the judgment to begin from the house of God. And if it first begins from us, what will be the end of those disobeying the gospel of God?
(1Pet 4:18) And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

“Can ONE: be ‘Turned Away’ from Salvation in Christ? – 201” …Blog. [2/2]



“Can ONE: be ‘Turned Away’ from Salvation in Christ? – 201” …Blog. [2/2]

Continuing on this same topic… their Salvation in Christ… is the Responsibility of the Holy Spirit…! God chooses to use those of the Body of Christ… ONLY: as His messengers. The Actual work of Salvation is a… TRANSACTION between God and Man [Acts 15:8-9] Done… “STRICLY BY HIM”…! Did You know that GOD gives REPENTANCE…? Even though HE uses us to Preach IT…!

*** (2Timothy 2:25) in meekness instructing those who oppose, if perhaps God will give them Repentance to the acknowledging of the Truth,
(2Tim 2:26) and that they awake out of the snare of the Devil, having been taken captive by him, [2Corinthains 4:3-4] so as to do the will of that one.

Recently, I had someone… say to me, “What about those that ‘do not’ come to Christ, did Christ die for their sins also…? Is there a ‘Limited Atonement’… “Only” for those that come to Christ Jesus? Absolutely Yes! Perhaps I may share with you my understanding of this fact?

*** (John 6:44) No man can come to Me [Jesus], except the Father [God] which hath sent Me [Jesus]: Draw [Compel] him: and I [Jesus] will raise him up at the last day.

*** (John 6:37) "ALL” that the Father [God] gives Me [Jesus]; shall come to Me, and the one who comes to Me; I will in no way cast out. [Romans 8:9]

*** (John 5:39-40) You examine the Scriptures carefully: Because you suppose = that in them you have eternal life.  Yet they testify about Me [Jesus].
(John 5:40) But you are ‘NOT’ willing to come to Me [Jesus] to have life. [John 7:38-39]

1.       I give you a check for… “10,000 dollars!”
2. You thank me and ‘Never’ cash that check!
3. You think that it is ‘Charity’ but I tell you it is “Grace” with no strings attached.
4. Still… you want to succeed on your own, with the help of no one.
5. You Die…!
6. Your heirs close your estate and find my check to you for the money.
7. They go to the Bank… and try and cash my check, made out to You.
8. The bank informs them… sorry the person is Dead; and the funds are “Non-Transferable!”

That is a ‘word picture’… of “Salvation”. God calls “All” mankind to Himself. Many REFUSE: His gift of Love, Mercy & Grace as payment for their… “Sin/Sins.” Their ‘Refusal’ to cash their check, the… “Gift of God”… will leave One… without the ‘eternal’ payment for their… “Sin/Sins!” This… “Atonement by Christ Jesus” for YOU… is paid for by the… “Death, Burial and Resurrection of Himself”…! But it is Rejected by “MANY!” Where then do You expect to spend eternity… after spitting in the face of God and refusing His gift of Love, Mercy & Grace… to You? This is the Gospel… that we communicate as… “Evangelism = You are Witnesses of these Things… “Luke 24:44-to-49”

*** (Hebrews 10:29) Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy of punishment, the one who has trampled the Son of God, and who has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

*** (Luke 24:44-to-48) And He [Jesus] said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets and in the Psalms about Me.
(Luke 24:45) and He opened their mind to understand the Scriptures.
(Luke 24:46) And He said to them, So it is written, and so it behooved Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,
(Luke 24:47) and that “REPENTANCE” and remission of sins should be proclaimed in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
(Luke 24:48) And you are Witnesses of these things.

*** (Revelation 20:15) And if anyone was NOT found having been written in the Book of Life, he was cast into the Lake of Fire.

ONE MORE TIME…? *** (Hebrews 10:29-30-31) How much more severe a punishment do you think that person deserves who tramples on God's Son, treats as common the blood of the covenant by which it was sanctified, and insults the Spirit of grace?
(Heb 10:30) For we know the one who said, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will pay them back," and again, "The Lord will judge his people."
(Heb 10:31) It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God!

*** (Hebrews 9:27) And as it is appointed to men once to die; but [immediately] after this the judgment, [Luke 16:23]

“The ‘HELL’ about the Lake of Fire – 101” …Blog.

*** (Acts 17:11) And these were more noble = than those of Thessalonica, = in that they received = the Word = with all readiness of mind = and = searched the Scriptures = “DAILY” = to see if those things were so [or Not].

“The ‘Simplicity & Complexity’ of Salvation in Christ Jesus – 101” …Blog. [1/?]

About NOW… someone begins speaking about their… “Water Baptism”…! Sorry, that and physical Church membership have… “NOTHING” to do with Salvation…!

QUESTION: (Ephesians 4:5) One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
 
Is this ONE Baptism “Water” or “Spirit”…?

*** (1Corinthains 12:13) For also by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free, even all were made to drink into one Spirit. [John 7:38-39 & Acts 15:8-9]

*** (Titus 3:5) NOT by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His Mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,

*** (1Corinthains 1:17) For Christ did ‘NOT’ send me [Paul] to Baptize; but to Preach the gospel; Not in wisdom of words; Lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

*** (Romans 11:6) But if by Grace, then it is no more of works; otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it is of works, then it is no more of grace; otherwise work is no more work.

*** (Jude 1:19) These be they who separate themselves, sensual: having NOT the [Holy] Spirit. [Romans 8:9]

Water Baptism and Salvation – 101 Blog.      

Why do People… CLAIM to Know Christ Jesus as their Savior & Lord…? And then are Completely Ignorant about HOW Salvation comes About…?
 
*** (Galatians 2:16) Knowing that a man is “Not Justified”: -> by works of the Law: -> but through Faith in Jesus Christ; even we believed in Jesus Christ: -> that we might be Justified by the faith in Christ: -> and ‘Not’ by works of the Law. For ALL flesh -> will ‘Not’ be justified: ->by works of law.

*** (Galatians 3:11) Now it is obvious that No One is Justified in the sight of God by the LAW, because "The righteous will live by Faith."

*** (Galatians 3:2-3) This ONLY I would learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, OR by hearing of faith?
(Gal 3:3) Are you so Foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, do you NOW perfect yourself in the flesh?

“MANY”… miss that the Holy Spirit... “John 7:38-39”... and the Spiritual Baptism... “1Corinthians 12:13 & Ephesians 4:5”... is a “Divine Transaction”: Done by “GOD ALONE!” Did ‘Some’ purposely miss.... “Acts 15:8-9”... where GOD sees their “Hearts”... and HE ‘Only’... gives them: His Holy Spirit… “Ephesians 4:30 & Romans 8:9 & 2Corinthains 1:21-22”!

“What is ‘Salvation?’ – 101” …Blog.

Perhaps… “One More Time”…?

*** (Hebrews 5:9) And being perfected, He [Jesus] became the Author of eternal salvation to all those who obey Him, [John 7:38-39]

*** (John 6:44) No man can come to Me [Jesus], except the Father [God] which hath sent Me: Draw [Compel] him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

*** (John 6:37) "ALL” that the Father [God] gives Me [Jesus]; shall come to Me, and the one who comes to Me; I will in no way cast out. [Hebrews 13:5]

Those who are NOT: BORN AGAIN by the Holy Spirit of GOD... Cannot Understand the BIBLE...! Consequently they PULL... Bible Verses... “OUT of Context”… and then: “MOCK God and His Holy Word”...!

*** (1Corinthians 2:14) But the = natural man = does “NOT”… receive the things [WORD] of the Spirit of God; for they are = “FOOLISHNESS” = to him; Neither can he = Know = them; because they are spiritually discerned.

“Mockers & Unbelief: Without ‘EXCUSE’ – 101” …Blog.

During my Life in Christ for some 35+ years… I have heard all sorts of excuses by Pseudo Christians [?]… about WHY they are FEARFULL of Sharing His Holy Word…! The LIE of Satan is that “Sharing the Word of God: You will… “TURN OFF SOMEONE”… from Salvation”..! Often times I find myself being STILL: and praying that the LORD would use the… Sword of the Spirit… to convict the sinner of His Sin! Why then are YOU… “Fearful in Sharing”… His Holy Word…? Recently a mother told me that Satan had taken her SON away from Christianity. I shared with her that HE probable was “NEVER” Truly Born Again… as it is Written: *** (1Jn 2:19) They went out from us, but they were NOT of us; for if they were of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out so that it might be Revealed that they were ‘Not’ all of us.

*** (Psalms 138:2) I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth's sake; for You [LORD] have magnified = Your Word = above all Your name.

*** (Psalms 119:11) I have hidden Your Word in my heart; so that I might not sin against You [Lord].
