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?

Matthew 1:21 And she (Mary) shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. The question becomes who is "his people". Some teach this is the Jewish Nation. They are Mary's people and Jesus is Mary's son. What did Jesus say? John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Well that would mean everyone is "his people". God owning all the people, Jews & Gentiles. John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he h…

Why Calvinism cannot be true 1 2 3 4

Here are the notes from the message my pastor preached about election on Wednesday night. It was the most easily understood message on the subject that I have ever head and it shows clearly why Calvinism is false doctrine. If you want to hear the entire message, it will be up soon on the website (I don't know how soon, my husband is going to maintain the website but the website isn't finished yet). It will probably just be titled 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4. It will be one of the very first messages there, as it was our second ever Wednesday night service on Wednesday so there aren't too many archives haha. http://www.heritagebapt.com/ Heritage Baptist Church, Picayune …

Greetings I am a firm believer in eternal security (Once Saved; Always Saved). I would like to answer your questions regarding troublesome passages that many think imply that one can lose their eternal security. May the LORD bless these exchanges! Dr. Olson

Faith: What is it? 1 2 3

What is Faith? Is it a "blind leap in the dark?" Is it believing in something that we can not know? Further, is faith an action or is it a thought?

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

Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and [with] fire: 12 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. 13 ¶ Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [it to be so] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he …

Cowards-The Repentance Lie 1 2 3 4
by Guest Guest- 52 replies

Like I said,these guys are cowards!(Thats why they keep deleting my posts) They believe this false Babylonian Catholic "repent unto salvation" gospel. I have already proved them to be apostate,I have given a list of every verse in the Bible with "repent" in it,and proved that not everyone repents to be saved. They refuse to give answer to the "Evidence That Demands A Verdict"! The gospel of John mentions "believe" 90 times and the word "repent" is mentioned NONE!(The same amount of verses they have to prove their false Babylonian doctrine.) "Believe" is mentioned 6 to 1 over "repent" and "repent" is one of the least talked about subjects in the Bible. They have ye…

Recently I was reading a post in the salvation forum and came across this question concerning eternal security, "is God an indian giver"? As I have thought on this for a while it has brought other questions to my mind. BTW I am OSAS in my theology. Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 6:23 and 1 John 5:11-12 all state that eternal life is a gift from God. Here are my questions, If we could give back God's gift to us back how would we do it? Since the gift is received through faith and that faith itself is a gift of God how would this be accomplished? Seeing eternal life is not tangible because it is procured by faith what exactly would be given back? Your thoughts on these…

What If I Don't Feel Saved? 1 2
by Guest Guest- 29 replies

Hi everyone. What should I do if I don't feel saved? I know that one should not rely on feelings but sometimes I seriously wonder if I am saved and I have said that sinner's prayer (and meant it) countless times.

I'm just going to keep my question simple and see what you all have to say.. Did you stay down on your knees and emotionally cry out to the Lord to save you? Or.. Did someone show you, one-on-one, from the Bible the plan of Salvation and pray with you as you asked the Lord a simple (yet powerful and meaningful) prayer to save you? I will not sit here and say that one is better or worse than the other because as far as I'm concerned if you ask the Lord to save you and you mean it in your heart he will do it! The only reason I ask is because I have seen it both ways. I have seen it short and sweet, and I have seen it emotional, deep and lasted a while. If someone f…

Can someone please help me? I have been have many doubts about my salvation for many months now. All these thought go through my head: was my repentance real? did I really put ALL my trust in the blood of Jesus Christ? Is it now impossible for me to repent?. Quite honestly sometimes I don't know how much longer I can hold on. When I try to overcome these doubts by remembering my testimony, I really wonder if it was real or not. I'll try to make it short but it goes like this. I was camping with a bunch of people I didn't really know about 4 years ago, I drank a bunch of psychedelic cool-aid. I went through many hours of what can only be described as demonic torment, …

It may sound like a simple question at first, but give it some thought before answering. And to be clear, I am not asking if men were "saved" before Pentecost, I am asking if men were regenerated prior to Pentecost. Either way you understand it, please include a Scriptural Basis for you response. God bless.

Salvation involves the new birth according to John 3:3 according to the Lord Jesus Christ. The new birth changes one's life, one' s desires, and one's state and standing with God.

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?

I have a question regarding salvation. I believe we are saved when we believe in the gospel....the moment. BUT, when I got saved I didn't really feel saved until I grew more as a christian, my faith grew, strengthened, and confirmed that i was indeed a child of God. Sometimes I doubt that I was saved at that moment, because I didn't feel like it. On the other hand, I don't believe we are saved on confidence, but all faith we have on Jesus and 0 on everything else. In other words, it doesn't matter how much faith we have, just that it all must be on him. Thoughts?

People rather be peaceful and phony to do meetings with each other in the name of Jesus. Your called a bully and judgmental person if your really not a phony in the body of Christ today. Your called a negative person if your not a phony in the body of Christ too. Anybody tired of phony people and phony meetings in the name of Jesus? Who hungry to be around real bible believers like David, Amos and Paul encouraged? I'm tired of being around phony people just to be around a humble and nice peaceful person only. Who hungry for a equal yoke with bible believers like David, Amos and Paul urged? Who tired of being around phony people just to be around entertainment and s…

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…

I was wondering what you think of what I like to call "Instant" repennters, people who plan on sinning and then pray for forgiveness of that sin. They make a habit of sinning and repenting, with no intention of giving up the sinful behaviour they repented for.

The Day I Changed- Salvation happened to me 1 2 3 4
by Guest Guest- 50 replies

I was saved on Feb. 25, 1973. I received the Holy Ghost and spoke in another language, just like the 120 did on the Day of Pentecost in Acts the 2nd chapter. It was really wonderful... experiencing the Supernatural God for myself. Just like the 39th verse it is for us today as it was for them in Acts 2nd Chapter. The Holy Ghost will guide us into all truth and help us overcome temptation so we can have power to endure to the end to remain saved. My life really changed when I received the Holy Ghost. Peter was given the keys to the Kingdom and the keys were to unlock the way to Salvation. When the people in the 2nd Chapter of Acts, ask what they must do, he told them in t…

Question for the Calvinists 1 2 3 4
by Guest Guest- 48 replies
- 5k views
According to Calvinists: Only God knows who will be saved, and who will go to Hell. (that is my take, as described by the Calvies) So, how can a Calvinist rightfully claim to "know" that they are saved? [ If they say, " I am one of the "elect", then how do they know for sure- that they are- after all, only God has determined that ( according to Calvinists)] [ How can Calvinists be assured of their salvation, when they accept assumptions] Here is what I would be like, If I were to have been duped by Calvinism: "I am saved" , but " Am I actually one of the "elect"?" " The Bible says, " whosoever" but " Am I one of those elected whosoevers" "T…

Dinosaurs on the ark never made sense to me. Why save the dinosaurs if they were just gonna die right away due to climate change. Either they were an abomination created in Genesis 6 or perhaps prior between Genesis 1:1-2 and were wiped out during Lucifer's rebellion. Incidentally, Satan is compared to a dragon aka dinosaur. -
The Bible teaches by man came death. At the end of creation week, there was no evil in the universe. God declared all He had made very good. All the angels rejoiced on day three - when the foundations of the earth were laid - Job 38:7 - which meant none had fallen yet. You can also see the same order of events of creation week (as shown in Job 38) presented the same way in Psalm 104. Satan walked in Eden before he fell - Ezekiel 28:13 - and Eden was not created until day 6. Nowhere does the Bible state Adam and Eve fully understood how death would affect things, only that it was promised as a judgement if they sinned. Satan fell sometime after creation week, then he later tempted Eve and Adam; and their sin resulted in death, the curse, etc. being brought on creation, including all biological life. Romans 5 is very clear on that.

What did the grape do when someone sat on it? It gave out a little whine. What do you call people who really like tractors? Protractors. A rancher had 97 cows in his field. When he rounded them up, he had a hundred! Why did the man name his dogs Rolex and Timex? They were watch dogs. -

replenish (v.) mid-14c., replenishen, "provide" with food or drink, also riches, beauty, etc., from Old French repleniss-, extended present-participle stem of replenir "to fill up," from re-, here perhaps an intensive prefix based on the notion of "fill repeatedly," thus "fill completely" (see re-), + -plenir, from Latin plenus "full" (from PIE root *pele- (1) "to fill"). Specifically as "to fill up again, restore to a former amount or condition" by 1610s. Related: Replenished; replenishing; replenishment. And here's the link to the prefix "re" https://www.etymonline.com/word/re- I'm not convinced either way. Evil did exist before man sinned, otherwise God would not have "known good and evil" and the serpent would not have been an evil entity to have tempted Eve. And "death" was a known concept, otherwise the serpent and Eve would not have discussed it. The Bible says that death passed upon Adam and Eve.. I don't recall reading where it says that animals had not yet died. I'm just curious as to what happened to all them "dinosaurs". Except for crocodilians, they were completely annihilated long ago and I don't believe any of them were on the ark. -
