Q. What does it mean to be born again?

John Chapter 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.

The new birth or regeneration is one of the primary doctrines of the church, without the new birth you cannot receive the kingdom of God, eternal life or salvation. The new birth is a re-creating and transformation of the person by God the Holy Spirit. The new birth comes to those who repent of their sin and turn to God and place personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Conclusion

It is evident that the Bible warns against the possibility of forfeiture of one’s status with God. Scripture is clear that a believer’s only security is in consistent obedience to the will of the Master. This reality fits perfectly with the biblical definition of salvation. Salvation is not a one-time crisis event that seals a believer for all eternity, but a Continue reading Does the Bible Teach Eternal Security? Part 8

The General Epistles And The Apocalypse

The remainder of the New Testament is also clear about the fact a believer can voluntarily forfeit his salvation. The Book of Hebrews contains some of the clearest warnings against apostasy and also urgent exhortations to remain firm to the end — all directed toward Christians.

Because of the greater revelation that came with the incarnation of Christ, the author of Hebrews told Christians, Continue reading Does the Bible Teach Eternal Security? Part 7

Pauline Teaching

On the mission field, after they had “made many disciples,” Paul and Barnabas returned to the churches they had planted earlier, “strengthening the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith” (Acts 14:21,22). This would have been an unnecessary expenditure of time and energy if apostasy was not an option. Later, Paul warned the leaders of the church in Ephesus that “savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them” (Acts 20:29,30).

The Gospels

John the Baptist boldly proclaimed, “Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees; every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire” (Matthew 3:10; Luke 3:9). In fact, Jesus began His ministry by reiterating this same message (Matthew 7:19).

Jesus also taught that if we are unwilling to forgive, we remove the possibility Continue reading Does the Bible Teach Eternal Security? Part 5

The Reasoning Behind Stolen Treasures From An Unguarded Temple

Welcome to our blog today, I am addressing the issue of why I wrote Stolen Treasures from an Unguarded Temple. First of all, the Holy Spirit laid it on my heart and burdened me, my heart is broken over the shape of the church in America. I still believe there’s a remnant in the church; as the Lord himself said even in Sardis there remain a few. I believe that the remnant is as frustrated and tired of the deception, of a half gospel as I am. If I remain silent over what God has given me your blood will be required at my hands. I am appalled by the weekly reports I received from parishioners over their pastors preaching little or nothing in the way of a true gospel and without any conviction. I’m saddened by the pastors who tell me they try to preach a straight gospel under the anointing with conviction and their people will not receive it and make necessary changes to move forward in God. I’m tired of seeing the Holy Spirit ignored, insulted and grieved and in many churches not even mentioned. I’m weary with watching the brokenhearted come in the church and leave the same way and the sick leaving the same way, this was never God’s plan. Pray with me that the Lord will raise up men and women who will preach the truth in love without fear or favor. Join me and others in agonizing prayer for revival. Do not be satisfied with the status quo. Don’t be afraid to ask your minister and the other church members why don’t we have revival anymore. I firmly believe that we are yet to see the best that God has to offer for his church and we don’t have long, eternity is just around the corner. God bless you may the Lord burden you for his church and the lost.

Q: What does it mean to be Holy?

To be Holy simply means separate, different, set apart, dedicated or devoted to God having a spiritually pure quality. Holiness is not legalism rather it is a result of one having fallen in love with Jesus (I Peter 1:16).

Q: What does it mean to repent?

To feel sorry for sin as to be disposed to change ones’ life for the better. To change your mind and your actions, to regret your sin, and change your conduct. To repent simply means admit it and quit it (Matthew 3:2 & 3:8).

Q. What is Grace?

Quite simply Grace is the freely given, unmerited favor, and love of God. It is the influence of the Spirit of God operating in humans to regenerate or strengthen them. Grace is not a license to sin, but God’s provision to not only save, but to keep us from sin (Titus 2:11).

Free Will

God created man in His own image and likeness (Genesis 1:26). In part, this means that even as God thinks, plans, reasons, and decides, so also does man. Although the Fall partially effaced the image of God stamped on mankind at creation, these other attributes certainly were not. In addition, God will not invade or violate the free will that He has purposely created within man, whether he accepts Christ or not. Continue reading Does the Bible Teach Eternal Security? Part 4
