Sinner's Prayer and how to be saved | |
| Serenity777 User ID: 1129812 09/22/2012 05:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There's going to be a whole lot of disappointed people when their day comes... When you guys realize what this is, you're going to look back at all the years you spent in self immolation trying to attain God's Love when you already had it all along. -The way you beat each other down for your perceived sins is merely pride in reverse. For some reason it makes you feel GOOD to hold onto that guilt and pain thinking the good Lord holds you on a pedestal for it. It makes you feel good thinking that some savior is listening to words formed from falsehoods and total fear. Most of you go to God in fear of burning in hell as opposed to going to it for LOVE...and its easy to tell which is which. Those who are always wallowing around telling everyone they're going to hell and using words such as "sin" to describe everything around them are the problem...not the solution. Wait until you see what created your religion...and all which you worship. When that day comes, there will be a great grinding and gnashing of teeth. You guys are LOST. If you're going to go to your creator...go to it in LOVE and quit BEGGING for your lives and souls. Its pathetic... ![]() By the way- I don't necessarily write this message for the OP because I believe their heart was in the right place. However...groveling for the recognition of your creator while playing this little "I'm unworthy" game is just nonsense.

Take ye heed and give glory unto the Father for revealing to you the Truth. Baptism Mark 16:16 16) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. � KJV John 3:3-8 3) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4) Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5) Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6) That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7) Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8) The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. John 20:22 22) And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: � KJV Acts 2:38 38) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. � KJV Romans 8:9-14 9) But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10) And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11) But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 12) Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13) For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. � KJV 1 John 3:24 24) And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. � KJV 1 John 5:7-8 7) For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8) And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 1 Corinthians 12:3 3) Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. Acts 10 44) While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45) And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46) For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 47) Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 48) And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. Acts 8:37-40 KJV 37) And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38) And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 39) And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. 40) But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cæsarea. Acts 8:15-17 KJV 15) Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16) (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. Acts 8:12 KJV But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Acts 5:29-32 KJV 29) Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. 30) The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. 31) Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 32) And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. Acts 4:29-31 KJV 29) And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, 30) By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. 31) And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. Acts 2:1-4 KJV 1) And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2) And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3) And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4) And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 10:42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 10:44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. 1 Timothy 3:16 KJV And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Mark 16:16 KJV He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Acts 2:38 KJV Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Romans 8:6-9 KJV 6) For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8) So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9) But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Matthew 15:8-9 KJV 8) This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9) But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Acts 5:29 KJV Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. "The biggest sign from God, to let us all know that man can never be God? Death." - Anonymous |

It was given on April 1st, how appropriate. ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ Will you let Me take you through the fires of purification? Posted on April 1, 2012 by Kevin Barrett Last night in my time with the Lord, He said these words to me: Tell My people that My love for them is great and everlasting. Word from the Lord: Oh, My people, hear Me this day. Why do you still not heed My warnings? Time is short, My people. And soon I will not weary with you any longer but I shall pour forth My judgments upon the lands and peoples. And hear Me, My people. My judgments shall begin with My house. I am rising up this day to judge all that call themselves by My name. I shall judge each one according to My word. Woe unto those that have believed the lies of the false prophets and teachers. For there will be a great falling away as I separate the sheep from the goats; those that are truly Mine from those that are imposters. And I shall call My own out from among the heathen and the imposters and they shall be healed from their backsliding as I purge them through the fires of My purification. Oh, My people, hear Me this day. I am jealous for My bride. For My bride shall make herself ready as I take her through the fires of purification to bring her forth without spot or blemish. For I am a holy God and I shall have a holy people. Oh, My people, why? Why do you not take My warnings to heart? Many are going to and fro with business as usual and not seeking what I desire. Each one seeks his own. Oh, My people, the days are short and very soon there will be distress of nations like never before. But I shall have a people that will be a light in a darkened and corrupt world. My beautiful bride shall do great exploits in ushering in her bridegroom and King. Oh, My people, how I desire that each one of you could be part of My beautiful bride. But not all that call themselves by My name shall take part as My bride. Only those that overcome shall be allowed to sit with Me on My throne to rule the nations with a rod of iron. Oh hear Me, My people. Why do you listen to the hirelings and false teachers and prophets? Did I not say in My word that not all that say to me ‘Lord’ ‘Lord’ shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, save those that do the will of the Father who is in heaven? Then why do you still go about doing your own will and tell yourselves that you are My bride? My people, you have been lied to by the enemy of your soul. Seek Me in these things. Surely I will reveal My truth to you. I love you, My dear children, and it is My desire that each of you share My throne with Me. But unfortunately only a remnant shall overcome. For too many have listened to the lies told by the false shepherds and prophets. They speak of how you each are already cleansed and adorned in righteousness simply by your belief on My name. These are all lies, My people. For does not My word say that he who does righteousness is righteous? Yes, My people, you are made righteous by your faith in Me, but it is fulfilled by your obedience to My voice. It is not imputed to you by a one-time confession of My name. Oh, My people, you have been lied to. Read My word for yourselves. Why listen to those that fatten themselves by fleecing My sheep? I have not sent many of the shepherds that are out there. They have sent themselves for their own glory and their own profit. Oh, My people, did I not say in My word to judge them by their fruit? Then where is the fruit, My people? Oh, but those that have itching ears care not about the fruit. They want to be told all is well and that they shall prosper if they simply believe on My name and My promises. Lies, lies, lies, I tell you. Oh, My people, why do you not study My word to show yourselves approved? Why do you go about from doctrine to doctrine seeking what will make you feel good? Can you not see that there is no healing in the dead churches? Not healing of the physical body, but healing of the soul and spirit. This is because there is no life in them. For where My Spirit is there is liberty. Not liberty to gratify or tingle the flesh; but liberty from the flesh. Oh, My people, how I wish to take you all with Me now into My chambers. But you are not ready and many of you never will be. For you do not test the spirits of those you follow and so you have chosen to believe their lies. I will and I shall have a bride that is spotless and without blemish. Do you take My invitation this day to come away with Me and be cleansed of all filthiness of flesh? Oh, My people, come away with Me and we shall ride together on the heights of the earth. For I shall rise with healing in My wings and I shall heal all that have called out to Me with a pure heart. I shall heal and I shall cleanse with My cleansing fire. Oh that I wish you all would call out to Me for My cleansing fire. For not many of you will, because your desire is for your flesh. But for those that choose to call out to Me for this fire, I will answer thee and pour upon thee both My glory and cleansing fire. And I shall purify you to be My bride if you do not shrink back. For I am now choosing those that choose Me and we will walk together and be one as I take each of you through My fires of purification. And My bride shall be purified and come forth refined as silver and purified as gold. And I shall be her God and she will be My bride to be shown forth to all nations. Now choose this day, My people. Will you let Me take you through the fires, or will you cling to the lust of your own flesh? The choice is yours, My people. For I am no respecter of persons and I offer this opportunity to all. |

Galatians 3:23 3 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. 24 So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, 26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise. Faith Matthew 5:44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, |

Quoting: surfdaddy Of course you'll tell me that's it my fault. Fine, but that doesn't change anything. I say your prayer and nothing happens. Now what? God isn't having it. How do I get the contrite heart? If I don't feel it then I don't feel it. It is not because I don't want to. It simply is that I don't. You must want Him to be your King; He won't otherwise. If you want Him to be your King, you will want to follow Him, learn from Him, love as He loves....

[16] He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned + + + The one time sinners prayer is the easy way actually, it's no way. And certain Protestant groups preach, there is no need of Baptism to be saved. The Gospel includes all that Jesus passed onto the Apostles. Picking and choosing verses to fit heresies is not going to save you. Do you understand the meaning of taking a verse out of context? |

Why don't you be honest with YOURSELF? First off, I am sure you probably THINK you have humbly asked God to forgive ALL of your sins. In your mind, you are probably thinking of sins like stealing, telling lies, swearing, adultery, pornography. Your moral inventory of your OWN SINS probably didn't even include the sins others would see in you clearly. For instance, did you ask for forgiveness for having too much pride? How about impatience, anger, hatred for your enemies, envy, gluttony, greed, self-righteousness, being a hypocrite, etc? So if you tell me that you didn't ask for forgiveness for these sins, why not? These were the sins of the Pharisees. They THOUGHT they were sin free and looked down at others, but Jesus told them that they were dirty on the inside, full of pride, hypocrites, sons of Satan and on and on. I'll bet you commit PLENTY of those kinds of sins. If you tell me that YOU DID ask for forgiveness for these sins of the heart, then are you perfect today? You must be because, as you say, you have asked God to forgive your sins and then REMOVE YOUR DEFECTS OF CHARACTER. It must be sooo easy for someone like you to see the sin in others but fail to see that big log of crap in your own eye. Some people don't buy the bullshit you are trying to sell here. You can't face your own mortality because your ego is huge (another sin, by the way.) You can't imagine you might die and rot in the ground like the animal that you are. Some man who created the universe just has to be up there loving YOU because this is all about YOU. Selfishness is another sin I'll bet you never repented of. CHristians are a bunch of losers. Not once did I say I was perfect, and I am always asking God for forgiveness. Get over yourself. Telling lies for Jebus again, are you? You told the person who didn't feel anything when he prayed the little prayer that he had to repent of ALL his sins and then ask God to remove those defects of character (sins) from him. YOU SHOULD BE PERFECT. You are not supposed to sin and then continue to sin that same sin over again and again. I think your Bible tells you that once you repent of a sin, you cannot do it again or you will be in danger of hellfire. Jesus said "Go and Sin NO MORE." If the prostitute went back to her old ways, do you think Jesus would have just forgiven her again? IF so, then why did he tell her to sin NO MORE??? And if so, what is repentance all about?? So if you have repented of ALL OF YOUR SINS, like you said you did, then you should be perfect today. There are only so many new sins you can repent of. For instance, if you swear at someone and have repented of that sin before, you are not forgiven the second time, according to the Bible. Of course, you Bibletards just pick and choose the scripture that makes you feel happy. So anything goes with you. My friend, your hatred is overwhelming. Our defects of character are what cause us to sin, that is why I ask God to remove mine, or at least help me to improve myself. I earnestly wanted to help someone whose sole intent was just to mock me. What does that say about them, and about you? It seems as though you are putting him in your "Full of Hatred" box rather than answering or debating him. It's okay to admit you don't know if you don't know. We are questioning, seeking to understand and using our minds to figure it out. If you want to say that you have to take something on faith then just say so. |

OP, your title suggests that people can somehow do this or that to save themselves, and it's simply not true. Faith is shown by following God's Commandments daily. But no one can do this or that and think that they can save themselves. Lord Yeshua - Jesus - was given the Bema Seat, the Judgment Seat of Christ, by His Heavenly Father, the God of Israel, the Lord of Hosts, the One True Living God. And Only Lord Yeshua can deem who is saved. Once more - and please remember this.. People are saved only by the Grace of God. Period. |

He taught that everyone was a faith son of god on an incarnational journey to gain wisdom and knowledge to perfect ones MIND/Spirit. This was left out of the NT . I have found only one christian belief system that understands this. The quakers. |

No, you are saved by your choosing of Eternal Life and by choosing thus to grow your spirit and NOT ANYTHING ELSE. The FATHER gives his Grace for EONS for you to obtain the goal of becoming LIKE HIM.

You who have been the incarnated fallen angels here were given great Mercy, thru redemption and restitution. Many of you have accepted that and are on earth to grow knowledge and wisdom of WHY Lucifers IDEAS did not work, by experiencing as humans so that YOU COME TO KNOW how it IS with growing a human civilization on a planet. |

Quoting: Serenity777 When you guys realize what this is, you're going to look back at all the years you spent in self immolation trying to attain God's Love when you already had it all along. -The way you beat each other down for your perceived sins is merely pride in reverse. For some reason it makes you feel GOOD to hold onto that guilt and pain thinking the good Lord holds you on a pedestal for it. It makes you feel good thinking that some savior is listening to words formed from falsehoods and total fear. Most of you go to God in fear of burning in hell as opposed to going to it for LOVE...and its easy to tell which is which. Those who are always wallowing around telling everyone they're going to hell and using words such as "sin" to describe everything around them are the problem...not the solution. Wait until you see what created your religion...and all which you worship. When that day comes, there will be a great grinding and gnashing of teeth. You guys are LOST. If you're going to go to your creator...go to it in LOVE and quit BEGGING for your lives and souls. Its pathetic... ![]() By the way- I don't necessarily write this message for the OP because I believe their heart was in the right place. However...groveling for the recognition of your creator while playing this little "I'm unworthy" game is just nonsense.
