I thought it would be fun to cite scripture that teaches eternal security in the Old Testament.

BJ was introduced to our fellowship group a few weeks ago as a new convert. He had been seeking peace in his religion for some time, but met a Nigerian who told him, "Not religion, but faith in Jesus" & prayed with & for him. Within 3 days he knew the peace only to be found in Jesus. I've rarely met one so eager for fellowship & so enthusiastic about Bible teaching. He will return to the Punjab on Feb. 28th. His uncle is a Christian & he has links to Christians we know in India but his family have told him they don't want him now he is a Christian. Our study last Friday was on baptism (by John & of Jesus) & its implications as seen in Romans …

Lost souls lingering here at OB

I have no idea how many of you are visiting here looking for truth about God. Some may have other motives but, I’m not speaking to them today. I’m speaking about Jesus Christ and your questions about Him and your own eternal soul. You see many topics here and the resulting discussions may confuse you. You probably wonder how so many of us can trust in what we cannot see and can believe the Bible holds the truth. There is so much you want to know and so much you want to ask. Ask those questions and allow those here to show you the alternative to your doubt or skepticism. You can find the truth so many of us have found within the Bible. John 20:31 But these are written…

Once Saved, Always Saved! If you do not believe that Jesus has saved your soul from Hell forever; can you really claim to be "saved" at all? Although there are many different denominations that claim to be "Christian"; there are basically only two kinds of belief about salvation among them. The more popular belief teaches that salvation is something that can be gained and lost many times in this life. It claims that a person is saved by grace initially, but that there is always the possibility of him doing something wrong at a later time that would cause him to lose his salvation. If he happens to die in a lost condition, he goes to Hell, even though h…

I was baptised into the Church of Christ when I was about (guessing) 7 or 8 years old. Later in life after attending many different churches, I was saved under the ministry of an IFB and followed the Lord with believer's baptism. Some years ago I had a relative and member of the Church of Christ pass away. After the services there was a meal at the church. During discussion among family and old friends, membership at this church was discussed. A deacon of the church mentioned that I was still carried on the membership roll. I said I had since been saved and become a Baptist. Another person said, "But you were baptized here!" No discussion of salvation or receiving Chris…

Pre- Christ justification?
by Guest- 5 replies

Here's a starting point... Psalms 143:2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. I read the scripture above during today's devotions and wondered what others may have settled on. I took the framework for this from Evans... William Evans ...so what was the the source of justification before Christ's birth, death, ressurection? Ed. for clarification.

I have read many posts over the internet concerning infants and death. People wonder where an infant goes when it dies. I do not believe all babies that die in infancy go to heaven, nor do I believe they all go to hell. I do believe I have Scriptural support for my conclusions. I will deal first with the reality of some being born wicked. In Psalm 58:3, we read that "The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies." In interesting verse to say the least. It shows that there are wicked born in this world. Now, let's jump to Hosea 13:16, where we read the LORD God ordering that infants be dashed to pieces. Wow. Su…

From what I understand to repent means to turn away from....right? I want to use an example to ask my question. Suppose a person falls down on their knees and crys out to God to forgive them of there sins, Lets say this person is a smoker, or gambler, or drinker, whatever, and they too ask specific forgiveness of that particular sin...When the person is done praying they get up, dry off their face and go do that same exact sin immediately.....Is this genuine repentance??? Did this person repent?

. †. John 6:16-21 . . And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea and entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. . . . And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. According to Matthew's version, Peter ventured out on the water. †. Mtt 14:28-31 . . And Peter answ…

According to Jesus' testimony as an expert witness in all matters pertaining to the afterlife; the majority of the human race hasn't been making it to safety when they cross over to the other side. †. Luke 13:22-24 . . And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. Then said one unto him: Lord, are there few that be saved?

. †. 1Cor 6:9-10 . . Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. NOTE: numbers of well-meaning folk have attempted to use that verse to prove that gays and lesbians are hopelessly doomed to eternal suffering. But that would mean fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, abusers of themselves with mankind, thieves, covetous, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners, are hopelessly doomed too. It would also mean t…

How does one explain color to a blind man? Or how can we describe sound to him that is deaf? Could a dead man understand what it is to live again? So it is with trying to explain eternal things to a carnal man; Or trying perhaps, to enlighten a mna who lives and walks in darkness; These things are impossible to explain unless there is a divine intervention. One of the "rules" of soul winning that I have been taught, was to expect someone to get saved. Can I expect a blind man to see? Or a corpse to rise again aside from divine intervention? No, we must go in the power of the Holy Spirit, and let His purpose be accomplished. Of course we don't lead everyone we…

. Hello; Some years ago I attended an adult Sunday school class in a church here in Oregon being taught by a spiritually inept chemical engineer blundering his way through the life of Joseph. When I had just about enough of his short-sighted perspectives, I raised my hand to ask a question. Here's what I asked: Do you think Joseph was born again? The man was completely taken aback. He actually began to stammer before asking me to explain. So I informed him (he should have already known this being a Baptist Sunday school teacher) that Jesus testified that nOBody is getting into the kingdom without first undergoing a second birth. †. John 3:3 . .Verily, verily, I …

Saved or Savable? 1 2 3

I have a question. The moment Christ died on the cross, did He save you and reconcile you to God or did He make you savable and make it possible for you to be reconciled to God? What do you think and why?

Hi everyone. As I said in my introductory post in the introductions forum, I am re investigating my Baptist roots. I fully intend to become Baptist again and to stay Baptist. I am currently attending a Fundamentalist Baptist Church called the Gospel Center. Anyway, I am having trouble understanding the doctrine of once saved, always saved or eternal security. Could someone please explain it to me and provide verses to back it up?

Forgiveness
by Anon- 10 replies

In dealing with forgiveness...the Bible teaches salvation puts our sin away and when we are in judgement we will be judged for our works and not our sins, if we are saved. BUT... On the other hand alot is preached on forgiveness...confessing our sins and "if you don't forgive others, God won't forgive you" etc. But doesn't the Bible teach that we are "justified" if we are saved? What part does forgiveness play in a saved person's life? I was just studying my sunday school lesson and it teaches the well known lesson that we should forgive others so that God will forgive us. But technically if we are saved...we ARE forgiven...right? So...what's the best way t…

What is the condition of being saved? 1 2
by Guest Guest- 19 replies

The bible tells us that the condition that we have to be in, in order to be saved, is a sinless condition. Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. If we should sin, then we should repent, immediately, if we want to stay in a saved condition. 1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: Notice the words, "if any man sin", that statement shows us that it is possible to sin and to miss out on our Salvation. That is why, we have the benefit of repenta…

This was taken from an article by a Calvinist, teaching 'perseverence of the saints'. It is, I believe, from the RSV(Revised Standard Version). Notice the wording in the last sentence of each and tell me if you notice a subtle but drastic difference in meaning between this and the KJB. Here is what the King James says .... 2 Peter 1:10-11 10Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I know this could be in the wrong forum, but it has to do wit…

David used to be my youth pastor at the Faith Baptist Church where I grew up. His father, Henry C. Sorenson was my pastor for nine years. David was not always KJVO', and once gave and encouraged my mother to read an NASB version of the Bible shortly after she got saved. -

Nope, she was a lost child of the Catholic Church, trusting in her works to get her to Heaven. She rejected much Scriptural truth, and made people happy/comfortable dying in their own false religions. AND no lost person can ever do "GOOD WORKS" in God's eyes. All her righteousnesses are as filthy rags (see Isaiah 64:6) compared to the pure, sinless blood of Jesus which was shed on the cross to redeem us from our sins.
-
Yes, and we see that exact result in those listening to Stephen's message, to some people during the time of Jesus' ministry - the fact that some people can clearly reject the Lord also means some can receive Him. If we are too dead to respond positively (ie. of you still equate physical death with spiritual death), then we are too dead to reject Him too.
