Concerning you helping me with believing once saved always saved here is what I believe as I firmly believe it is in line with scripture.
1. The Just shall live by Faith. I have no problem with a Christioan believeing / confessiong God unto the salvation of His soul. Thanking God in advance for saving him. Great!!! We should be meditaitng on God's Word and promices all the day long with thanksgiving.
2. BUT...If after you have recieved Christ Jesus and you are drawn back into the world with no concern whatsoever for bringing glory to God through your daily life..then you are lost. So my agreeing with you was agreeing to a faith of confession & Beleiving . Yes ..I'm one of those who speaks God's Word out loud to my situations. I beleive I am saved. But I 'm not ignorant to the many warnings of enduring to th eend. Buffeting my body to make it obey..crucifying my desires by his Spirit ...taking up a cross daily...fleeing from all ungodliness. ...shun all appearances of evil...if the righteous are scarely saved ...where does that leave th eungodly and hypocrite. ...etc.etc..too many to name.
Sorry to let you down sir...notice I don't call you a brother. We are to mark those who cause divisions and ignore.

I am sorry to hear that Chuck. Just a few months back you pm'ed saying that after years {I believe it was 25} of being driven crazy by the thoughts of losing your salvation, because of issues with your flesh sins, you were finally at peace, and solid in the fact that you could never loose your salvation.
In fact Chuck, you took quite a bit of heat from the people who taught that false doctrine like "strut", because your posts reflected your new found truth, and now you post this. Chuck, you strike me as a little babe on the waves, being blown about into one way of thinking, and tossed backed into another the following day.
I could point to some more damning scripture, but why?, you are suffering enough already........I am soo sad for you.
By the way Chuck, I still count you as a Brother, a Brother who is under a great delusion, but a Brother nontheless. I believe in time you will come to know the truth.......your friend, Bill McNeal....
Bill,
I take a lot of heat simply because I'm a Christian . That is normal. { Anyone who chooses to live Godly shall suffer persecution} Some of the heat is my own doings and some is flesh..never the less it causes me growth. Sir , I honestly feel very sorry for you . Your opinions about the jews forces me to put you on my block list. I can not fellowship with you any longer. I have no idea how you let your self get into this predicament
I do not hate you but I feel like I cant encourage you in what you are doing here.
2 John 10 If someone comes to your meeting and does not teach the truth about Christ, don't invite him into your house or encourage him in any way. 11Anyone who encourages him becomes a partner in his evil work.

Thanks for the encouragement but...it wasn't easy.
Folks I sincerely beleive if we are going to error , we should error toward the side of mercy. I hate cutting folks off with a passion...butI do believe this case warrants it. Not out of hatred, but that this fellow may come to his senses and repent. What he says is not funny nor entertaining .
