    The close of Probation, or when Christ finishes His work as Intermediary

    How would you read this from Christ... Matthew 7:21 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

    Why Christ said we have to go Beyond the Law

    It is not in ones ability, but the choice to turn from sin and follow Christ and allow the Holy Spirit to transform your life and thus put on Christs robe of righteousness to come boldly before the throne. This is the state of perfection before God that Christ says we must have.. Matthew 5:48...

    The close of Probation, or when Christ finishes His work as Intermediary

    That appears in that view to be that saints have no choice, no freewill, its just decided for them and thats it. While the wicked on the contrary have no reason to fear punishment as no one is on their way to hell as long as they claim they 'believe' or think they do but yet continue in sin. I...

    The close of Probation, or when Christ finishes His work as Intermediary

    Well, if one looks, the concept of the close of probation is a common and one can say, universal belief among Christians, although the term they use may differ. It basically is that there is a point in a person's life when they are sealed which most see in scripture (Ephesians 4:30, Revelation...

    The close of Probation, or when Christ finishes His work as Intermediary

    I have not come across that with the Lutherans before, is that part of their common beliefs, and how does it compare with Calvinism that you are 'predestined' and have no choice or 'freewill' in the matter?

    Why Christ said we have to go Beyond the Law

    I think you missed what He says... John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his...

    Why Christ said we have to go Beyond the Law

    Then what will Christ say... Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Luke 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. And we see even more importantly do...

    Hell/Hades is the Lake of Fire

    Hell, the "lake of fire," is a concept found throughout the Bible, representing the final place of punishment for the wicked and unrepentant. We find it throughout the Bible and most vividly described in the Book of Revelation, where it is portrayed as a place where the wicked perish in a final...

    Hell/Hades is the Lake of Fire

    Need to read your Bible as Christ and His Word is clear that man will cease at the Second Death, which is the Lake of Fire. The first death is not the end as the Bible tells us. Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Romans 14:10 But why dost...

    Eternal Torment Or Annihilation? What Happens To The Wicked.

    Death is swallowed up in victory, when the dead are raised and changed from mortal to immortal at the second coming. If in fact, those who die in Christ go right to heaven to be with Christ for eternity, the above verses would make no sense at all. In fact, the bible would be filled with verses...

    Eternal Torment Or Annihilation? What Happens To The Wicked.

    Lets go deeper into the fate of the wicked, as it is a important topic which has been hard to understand, with many pastors and ministers preaching a eternal torment of sinners, saying that the fires there are never quenched or the wicked destroyed. But do the wicked get to live forever too...

    Why Christ said we have to go Beyond the Law

    Well what does Christ say? He tells the rich young ruler that to enter into eternal life, he must keep the commandments. The rich young ruler claims he does, then what happens? Christ makes clear you have to 'exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees' and told the rich young ruler to...

    Why Christ said we have to go Beyond the Law

    We see the words of Christ. Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. This is clear, being under to law to Christ is beyond the level of the literal law...

    The truth as to why the Waldensians were persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church?

    John Wesley has this to say about the Vaudois or Waldenses: "It is a vulgar mistake, that the Waldenses were so called from Peter Waldo of Lyons. They were much more ancient than him; and their true name was Vallenses or Vaudois from their inhabiting the valleys of Lucerne and Agrogne. This...
