Are You Saved? UPDATED

Neither here . God bless you .

Now is the acceptable time. Now is the day of salvation. Today you can be baptized into Christ. You can be born again of water and the Spirit (John 3:3-6)

We live our lives one day at a time. Yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow never comes.
Today is the only day we have, to be saved by the grace of God.

"Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2)

:SVD:

How would you conceptualize what you are 'saved' from and how exactly were you 'saved'?

Ok AG, you are stirring the pot!!!

You know what is coming your way...

huh?

It doesn't work that way and never did. Your actions matter and no Lord will save you from the effects of your actions. What you sow in this life you will reap in the afterlife. It does no good to exhort people to call on the name of a savior, because when you get to the afterlife, only your actions will matter, not the words you said.

Bashing dear, bashing...

Not from me though - just hope you are strapped into a chair...

Nope. Not into servitude, even with all the window dressings...

"Saved" is but a euphemism for another sort of slavery..

"Saved" from the penalty of my sins.
The penalty is spiritual separation from God now, and in eternity, also the penalty is physical death which the human race now experiences. Physical death is conquered for us christians when Jesus resurrected. We are promised physical resurrection too.

Read ICorinthians 15:26-58

vs.15-55

Behold,I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep(die), but we shall all be changed,

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump(God's last trump,not to be confused w/angels trumps in Rev.): for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

For this corruptible(our bodies) must put on incorruption(physical immortality), and this mortal must put on immortality.

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

vs.57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Who saved you?

Lord if I kill someone and call your name afterward will I be saved?

Thanks a bunch.

Im washed in the blood , and I know my sins are forgiven Now if I can just forgive myself

No man chooses to be saved. Those who are to be saved were predestinated .... ordained to believe and obtain eternal life from the foundations of the world and .....

these are filthy -hell deserving with NOTHING good in them at all- nothing redeeming about them... these are just sinners plucked like brands from the burning and made monuments to His love and mercy ... but they will be cleansed. The lepers are healed. The lame begin to walk. The blind still come to see..

What manner of love is this that God showed by pouring out his blood for the elect at Calvary!

Isa_48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
No, none ever chooses to be saved.

none of yer fuckin business

believe that your sins are forgiven....it takes an act of faith!

don't let the 'accuser of the brethern' tell you lies that you are not forgiven.....don't listen to him.....

here are some great verses about our testimony by which we apply the blood of JESUS to our lives.....

read and say them aloud and they will help you forgive yourself!

Eph. 1:7
1 John 1:7
Romans 5:9
Hebrews 13:12
1 Corinthians 6:19-20



"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all [fn] sin.

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives."

1 John 1:7-10

No, but it's Godlike, not Jesus-like. Get it?
Stop with the Jesus stuff. God is over ALL religions, not just the Jesus religion.

At least Muslims have the decency to use a separate name for their own god - Allah.
Why can't Christians call their Jesus god something besides God, so the rest of us can still call God God, without the Jesus worshippers thinking we're talking about their god.

Once4All are you jesus?

God the Father by the work of his Son, Jesus via the Holy Spirit convicting me of my need.

no, he is a servant of JESUS and the MOST HIGH GOD

YAWEH

ADONAI

YEHOVAH

EL

OUR LORD

In this religion, Yes of course. Nothing wrong with killing, God told his people to do it all the time in the bible.

Then your God is evil because he WILLINGLY allows people to die even being able to save them.

Sorry that's not a divine being, and nothing you say will make it one.

"Marvel not, you must be born again."

i saved a $1.47 at the Big Lots today.....

Rom 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.

For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

I repeat, that's NOT how a divine being acts, I don't give a flying fuck what your supposed "good book" says. It means nothing in the face of logic and good sense.

Get an education.......please.
