The shell must be filled. The question is: With what? God-seekers, knowing that they must be filled with the things of Him, complete an organizationally-prescribed set of activities which supposedly renders them “saved.” Once having satisfied the organizations entrance requirements and having been declared “saved,” the seeker is assured that he/she has met all requirements […]
The Shell
Someone wisely observed that “Nature hates a vacuum.” In the natural world something will eventually fill an empty space. It might be nothing more than spiders, rodents, etc., but it will not remain totally empty over time. The rule also holds true in the spiritual world where the vacuum involves the heart (mind). Let me […]
Conversion–Are You Really Saved (cont. 9)
The question on the table at this point is, can one lose one’s conversion? The Scriptures say “yes.” In 1 Peter 3:6 we find the apostle writing to women in the New Covenant Church, telling them that they would continue to be daughters of Abraham–converted from Satan to Christ–“as long as you do well.” It […]
Conversion–Are You Really Saved? (cont. 8)
Those who believe that they are “saved” are wrong on two points. The postings titled Hope and Salvation prove that salvation will only be awarded at the return of Jesus Christ to set up the Kingdom of God on earth. Also, such believers have not only not been saved, they have also not been converted […]
Conversion–Are You Really Saved? (cont. 7)
Over two billion souls are living in a state of delusion. Because they have completed the prescribed rituals, felt the prescribed feelings and done the prescribed works (Bible study, witnessing, tithing, praying, etc.), Satan has convinced them that they are “saved” and “born again.” If God is to be believed, they are neither. They have […]
Conversion–Are You Really Saved? (cont. 6)
The final postings in this series addresses a most serious subject–FALSE CONVERSION. In the ever-present mass media as well as in public conversation we hear the words “Christian,” “Christianity,” “the Christian community,” etc. applied to anyone and everyone who has ever “joined the church,” has ever “accepted Jesus as their Savior,” who is “active in […]
Conversion–Are You Really Saved? (cont. 5)
Following the deaths of the original apostles God turned His focus to the world’s heathen masses. Throughout their ministries a small number of Gentiles had been blessed with the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the centurion being a prime example. But by in large the ministry of the apostles, including Paul, was to […]
Conversion– Are You Really Saved? (cont. 4)
A Truth deliberately shunned by professing Christendom is found in Matthew 10:1-8. Here Jesus commissions His 12 Apostles by telling them not to minister to Gentiles, but to go throughout the known world, find the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel and tell them about Him and God’s coming kingdom. Throughout the first few […]
Conversion– Are You Really Saved? (cont. 3)
Conversion Are You Really Saved(Cont.3) One of Satan’s most destructive doctrines embraced by church people is the belief that they are “saved” and “born again” because God uses them and blesses them, sometimes miraculously. Admittedly, I have been involved in this most ear-scratching, religiously-uplifting ruse in the distant past. This most destructive of deceptions is […]
Conversion– Are You Really Saved? (cont. 2)
In Acts 28:23 we find the Apostle Paul on trial in Rome because the Jews rejected his message and had petitioned the Roman government to kill him for preaching it. Upon arriving in the city he called the local Jewish leaders together and told them about the Kingdom of God and the Messiah through Whom […]
