Admin	IF... Posted : 30 Jul, 2011 05:25 PM IF... You died today, this very moment... where would you spend your eternal life? Will it be in heaven in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, beholding all of His beauty and glory? Or, will your eternal life be spent in hell burning eternally in the late of fire with Satan, and all those who have rejected the love of our Lord Jesus Christ in disobedience and His free gift of salvation? I John Chapter 1. This is the message which we have heard from God and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If... we say that we have fellowship with Him (God), and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. If... we walk in the light as He (God) is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If... we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If... we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If... we say that we have not sinned, we make God a liar, and His word is not in us. If... you pray this prayer, God will hear you , and forgive you of all your sins, and He will fill you with His Holy Spirit, which is the Promise of The Father to all those who believe. Father, teach me how to pray> Prayer of Salvation - Father, God, have mercy on me for I am a sinner. Forgive me of all my sins, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Only Begotten Son, and that He died on the cross for my sins, and You raised Him from the dead, so that I might have eternal life in heaven with you. Open my eyes that I might see, and help my unbelief. Save me, and I will be saved. Heal me, and I will be healed. Deliever me, and I will be delivered. In Jesus Christ powerful name I pray, Amen.

View Profile History	IF... Posted : 30 Jul, 2011 07:03 PM Dying IS your 'department'. You have a court date already set, and God is the Judge. He is infinitely Holy, and his standard is perfect righteousness. You will have to give an account of every idle word, every deed and thought for your entire life. You can stand there and be sentenced for all eternity for every one of your sins, or you can be declared not guilty and perfectly righteous because you are covered by the blood of Jesus. In Christ, James Post Reply

View Profile History	IF... Posted : 30 Jul, 2011 08:48 PM ET you quoted I John 1:5-9 which seems to have been written to only saints who claimed to be Christians and not to the lost as is shown by I John 1:3,6.,9 & I John 2:1,3,5: "We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us....if we claim to have fellowship with Him...If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins{See Luke 11:2-4}...**MY DEAR CHILDREN*, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One... We know that we have come to know Him if we obey His commands.. If anyone obeys His word, God's love is truly made complete in Him." Post Reply

Ella says in response to Jeff's comment> Jeff, sure you can decide who goes up or down... by starting with yourself. It is your choice to decide if you will go up or down based on whether or not you have faith to believe in the Lord Jesus Chirst, and pray the prayer, and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten Son of the Living God, and you will receive the free gift of salvation for the remission (forgiveness) of your sins... this alone determines your destination whether your eternal life will be spent up(heaven) or down (hell). For the gospel of this free gift of salvation is given to everyone, to the Jews first, and to the Gentiles who have faith to believe and receive the free gift of grace and love that God demonistrated for all of us through His Son Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross. Jeff, Its just that simple, and God Himself will help your unbelief... IF... you only ask of God, and have faith to believe that Jesus' suffering death on the cross paid the price for your sins, and that you are forgiven because of His blood that was shed... there is nothing more and nothing less to do... just have faith to sincerely believe, trust in the Lord and receive this free gift of salvation, and the Godhead which is God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit will come into your heart to live forever. Then you will know that your eternal life will be spent up in heaven with the Lord and all the other saints of God.:hearts: Very good word James... Praise God for you!:applause::glow: Post Reply

View Profile History	IF... Posted : 30 Jul, 2011 09:21 PM There are many churches who believe that if the lost walks the sawdust trail and prays the sinner's prayer that this lost person will automatically be eternally saved. I believe that we should preach the Word which is the sword of the Spirit and let the Father decide who He wants to draw to Him. Jesus says, "No one:rolleyes: can come to Me *UNLESS* the Father who sent Me draws Him, and I will raise him up on the Last Day." Hebrews 11:6: Anyone who comes to God:rolleyes: must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who EARNESTLY seek Him." Jeremiah 29 :13: God says "You will find Me when you seek Me WITH ALL YOUR HEART." And not just by reciting the sinner's prayer. I Peter 1:23,24: "For you:rolleyes: have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring Word of God. For all men are like grass, and their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of the Lord stands forever. And this is the Word that was preached to you." Post Reply

View Profile History	IF... Posted : 30 Jul, 2011 10:29 PM yeah, ok very good Richard... and you should also know that the gospel is for the saints and the sinner, doesn't matter who it was written to, as long as its applied... and when it comes to salvation the works of God, you should know that spiritual knowledge is powerful, and when you get spiritual knowledge, also get spiritual understanding of that knowledge, and seekign Gof for spiritual wisdom as to when and how to go about using that knowledge... as not to be a carnal hinderance or stumbling block in the things of God for someone who might be on the edge of being drawn to God through a simple prayer he/she may not have known how to pray... there is a time to speak and a time to keep silent. A time for all things under the sun... its wise to know the difference... Ecclesiastes chapter 3... PJ:glow::applause: Post Reply
