If you are lo...FALSE TV PREACHERS BY STEVE FINNELL<br /><br />If you are looking for spiritual guidance by watching TV preachers you are more than likely being deceived. Example Charles Stanley.<br /><br />Charles Stanley Quote: Now, I don’t know about you, but I have learned that a present that can be taken back is not really a gift at all. True gifts have no strings attached. Once we place a condition of any kind on a present, it becomes a trade—not a gift. So to say that our salvation can be taken from us for any reason, whether it be sin or disbelief, is to ignore the plain meaning of what Paul teaches us in the verse above. Questioning the permanency of our salvation is equivalent to not believing Ephesians 2:8-9 or the other passages where what Christ’s sacrifice on the cross is clearly described as a gift.<br /><br />Charles Stanley says neither sin nor disbelief will cause us to lose our salvation. The Bible teaches something different.<br /><br />Hebrews 3:12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; (NKJV)<br /><br />Contrary to what Charles Stanley says, unbelief can cause Christians to depart from God.<br /><br />Hebrews 10:26-31 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgement, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has rejected Moses' law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 Of how much worse punishment,, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot. counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing , and insulted the Spirit of grace?.....31 It is a fearful thing to fall in the hands of the living God.(NKJV) [Also see:Hebrews 6:4-6]<br /><br />Christians who fall into unbelief are not once saved always saved.<br /><br />Charles Stanley says sin cannot cause Christians to lose their salvation. God says something different.<br /><br />God says Christians who live an unrepentant sinful lifestyle will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are:adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in past times, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. (NKJV)<br /><br />God says Christians who live unrepentant lives will not inherit the kingdom of God. Charles Stanley disagrees.[Also see:1 Corinthians 6:8-11 and Ephesians 5:1-6]<br /><br />If you are looking to a preacher for spiritual guidance a rule of thumb is to not look to preachers who deny that water baptism is essential for salvation.<br /><br />Charles Stanley Quote: <br />Baptism allows us to demonstrate our connection with Jesus and with our brothers and sisters in Christ. We're all members of one body under the authority of the same Lord. But it's important to remember that Ephesians 2:8-9 says faith in Jesus Christ is the only requirement for salvation, not baptism. But, to fulfill His command, we're to be baptized following our decision to accept Him into our lives.<br /><br /><br />Charles Stanley says water baptism is not essential for salvation. Jesus said that baptism is essential. Mark 16:16 "He who believes and is baptized will be saved..(NKJV)<br /><br />Charles Stanley says that that Ephesians 2:8-9 says that the only requirement for salvation is faith, not baptism. Ephesians 2:8-9 does not say "only" nor does it say baptism is not required.<br /><br /> Charles Stanley says neither sin nor disbelief can cause a Christians to lose their salvation. He says water baptism is not essential for salvation. Do you really want to use a TV preacher who says those things as your spiritual guide???????<br /><br />YOU ARE INVITED TO FOLLOW MY BLOG. http://steve-finnell.blogspot.com <br /><br />Steve Finnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863026367048527526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072216184144059206.post-56851930583859911092014-11-02T10:09:17.085-05:002014-11-02T10:09:17.085-05:00You've thought this through...

Perhaps I have always taken the passage, you refer to in Romans the wrong way; but for me Psalm 139:13-16 seems to answer the question as to who "all those," actually refers to.>>>"For YOU formed my inner parts,YOU covered me in my mothers womb. I will praise YOU, for I am made with reverence and love. YOUR works marvel me and my soul longs to know YOU. Though I was made in secret, YOU saw my substance before I was ever formed." From this scripture I must conclude that the persons referred to in Romans is you and me, and anybody else that wants to believe. Calvinists seem to teach that you and I don't have the capacity to believe first. Even Dorothy and the scarecrow had to believe first. Their final result was not quit what they expected; but they had to believe first or they never would have made the trip to the land of OZ. With JESUS there are no surprises. HE is the same today as HE was yesterday. To me the pre-destination is GODS plan for all mankind. That we all choose to be conformed to the likeness of HIS SON. To me HIS plan is much like your pre-destination plan for your children. You have certain plans and expectations for your own sons; however they also have free will and they can go their own way if they so choose. Believe me I know!!!

It may stroke your ego some what; but it really edifies the rest of us out here and you are doing a good job; so keep up the good work. Now about the: "Secret of the cross." I think Paul was trying to paint the very picture you are referring to when he addressed the men on Mars Hill. I especially like the part about how GOD in the past:>>>"winked at the ignorance of sin."--but now no one has an excuse because HIS wrath and HIS rightness, as you pointed out above, have been revealed to all men. To me it is not only the Secret of the Cross but also the "Mystery of the Cross that was kept hidden for centuries">>> Colossians 1:26 This is the greatest "Who Done It" mystery book ever written. The ultimate answer to the mystery of who done it is JESUS!!!

You may or may not know that this is the title of an old country and western song. I recommend that you look up the lyrics to this song and listen to how the song fits in to todays posting. Of course the song is not referring to the spiritual love that scripture points out; but as you listen to the words you will hear many of the same dead-end pathways that we take to find the love of GOD.

The prein...These are waters too deep for any of us. The preincarnate Christ spoke the universe into existence, and His Spirit authored Scripture (as your citations demonstrate.)<br /><br />But in the incarnation he was born again, so to speak, like unto us. (His putting on our flesh is not very much different from our putting on his righteousness.) <br /><br />When scripture says he "emptied himself" (Phil. 2:7/NASB) it means that every advantage (omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence) and prerogative of deity was voluntarily forsaken in order to be limited to the same resources we are "limited" to --the Holy Spirit and the Word which the Holy Spirit authored. <br /><br />Of course, the Spirit filled Him "without limit" (John 3:34) so though he was emptied he was filled. But the infinite Spirit is just as available to us if we will follow as unswervingly and selflessly as Jesus did.<br /><br />The two most pertinent passages to combine are Phil 2:7 (totally emptied) and John 3:34 (filled without limit). Certainly you know your way around the Book, so between those extremes you can fill in the middle.<br /><br />I've written extensively about Jesus' increase (Luke 2:52). As I did, I was careful to remind myself and the readers that we see through a glass darkly concerning oh so many issues--and this issue is definitely one of them.<br /><br />Here are a few articles in this regard:<br /><br />http://lockportalliance.blogspot.com/2014/02/get-growing-part-1.html<br /><br />http://lockportalliance.blogspot.com/2014/02/get-growing-part-2.html<br /><br />http://lockportalliance.blogspot.com/2013/01/was-this-jesus-mission-statement-part-1.html<br /><br />http://lockportalliance.blogspot.com/2013/01/was-this-jesus-mission-statement-part-2.htmlFranklynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511271413533155493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072216184144059206.post-69779792729575588762014-10-12T12:06:11.629-04:002014-10-12T12:06:11.629-04:00Franklyn: Please clear up something for me.

But is there a possibility, based on some of the passages you have cited, that the reason JESUS was such a Bible scholar is because HE wrote the whole thing in the first place??? I know this sounds crazy; and it may be way off base and even hearsay; but I am basing this idea on certain scriptures such as: <br />Colossians 1:16 and John 1:3 and 2 Peter 1:21 and 2 Timothy 3:16, among others. The same HOLY SPIRIT; which JESUS had was and is the same HOLY SPIRIT that was active before, during, and after JESUS was quoting scripture, to the teachers in the temple at, 12 years of age, and later on in Nazareth, as Luke explains to Theophilus in Luke 4:16-21. In John 5:39 JESUS even explains that the scripture is actually about HIMSELF. To me HE was kind of giving them a "selfie" of the author. Kind of a author's book review if you will. Also JESUS tells us in John 4:22 that it is the JEWS and only the JEWS that leads us down the "yellow brick road" to the land of salvation or in this case the road is RED. and JESUS is the eternal JEW. And finally Hebrews 12:2 tells us that JESUS is a published author and is on "the number one best sellers list." As the author and finisher of our faith!!! <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072216184144059206.post-89164285594832564412014-10-09T08:18:29.577-04:002014-10-09T08:18:29.577-04:00Thanks.
