    Once saved always saved?

    No, the faithful are faithful because they have faith in what God says and promises as well as because they obey him and act upon their belief in him, saint James explains it thus: James 1:23-25 KJV For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural...

    Once saved always saved?

    All of the faithful are made just by grace through faith and their sins are forgiven so not counted against them. How does one come to know one is among the faithful - apart from asserting it because there are passages in holy scripture that assert that the faithful receive such gifts as being...

    Once saved always saved?

    I also believe the holy scriptures (all 73 books of the canonical holy scriptures) yet I am not confident that a personal view of one's own standing before God both now and for eternity is clearly laid out in any passage when the passage is read in conjunction with the whole teaching of Christ...

    What must I do to be saved?

    Everything that everybody has is given to them by God, even the wicked receive life and breath and all things from God; saint Paul explained that when he was in Athens, he said: Acts 17:24-25 NJB 'Since the God who made the world and everything in it is himself Lord of heaven and earth, he does...

    What must I do to be saved?

    I wonder if a person who cannot speak is excluded by a rule that says "confess with the mouth"?

    Once saved always saved?

    What I mean is that I have heard many say such things about themselves and it always seems to me that such knowledge can come only from some special grace - a gift of infallibility about one's own standing before God both now and for eternity - that is not the common lot of the faithful. Saint...

    Some slightly quirky thoughts on sermons and revival.

    These thoughts appear to come from the pen of James Ryle ... this one seemed rather amusing and so I am providing it for our instruction and for my own amusement too. September 12 Ten Ways to Survive Dull Sermons “A young man named Eutychus was sitting in the window, and as Paul kept on...

    They don't believe Paul

    I've only encountered a few people who reject saint Paul's letters; some who think he was a misogynist and hence unworthy of a hearing and some who think he was a heretic to Judaism and hence not worthy of a hearing. The former are probably influenced by this century's and last century's ideas...

    Once saved always saved?

    The parables of the kingdom told by the Lord and explained by him (in some cases the explanation is in the gospels) teach the faithful not to assume that they or any other person does know who is a weed and who is wheat, a good fish suitable to eat or a fish to be thrown away, and so forth. If...

    Spiritual Warfare

    Some of them tell the world what they think they are doing but the holy scriptures, holy tradition, and the church tell us that their words are not in accord with the teaching of Christ.

    For Those Who Have Not Been Healed

    Healing is a grace - a gift given by God - so it is not clear how or why some particular qualification is needed before it can be received unless one must earn grace ... but none of the faithful really believes that any grace is earned even if some graces do not come until others are matured in...

    'tis raining here, again, and it is 14 C but it is the early hours of the morning (05:15). I suppose 14 C isn't too cold for this time of day.

    Once saved always saved?

    It isn't a parable but a simile with an explanation using familiar imagery. But that was not the point of my post nor is my post accusing any in this forum or elsewhere of wickedness of any kind. The purpose of my post is to show how the Lord teaches and what he teaches about the last judgement...

    Once saved always saved?

    In the last judgement (as described in Matthew 25:31-46) it is the nations that are gathered before the Lord to be judged. They are separated like a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. The setting given in the first two verses (vv 31.32) helps the reader understand that humanity is not...
