(EMAIL) Dear Friend in Christ,

I read your article against eternal security of the believer. I wonder if in Matt ch.7 when Jesus tells those who supposedly once were saved “depart from me, I never knew you”.. Should he not have said “depart from me I used to know you, now I don’t know you anymore”? If Christ believed he was not able to save to the “uttermost”?

I know I’m secure in the Lord for Eternity, and my soul is secure in Christ, no it doesn’t give me a license to sin. If a true saint “falls into sin” they will be miserable, How can those who love sin ever have been saved?

There are a lot of still born “say they are saved but are not” people now days because they haven’t been given God’s word to allow the Holy Spirit to convict them and they truly call on Christ for salvation.

Do you and I sin still? Yes. God doesn’t save our flesh, he saves our soul. Jesus commanded everyone to be “born again”, If he knew some would lose that , he would have said “ye must be born , Again, and again , and again”. Remember. God is not willing that any perish. He would have been completely honest and said be born again and again and again, But he didn’t.... That’s why you and I need to place our complete faith in Christ and Christ alone to save us. If you are trusting your ability and good works in conjunction with Christ. You will miss the Mark. Philip opened his Bible and Preached “Christ” to the Ethiopian Eunuch, not Good works, enduring to the end. Etc. When the Philippian jailer asked Paul “what must I do to be saved” Paul said “believe and endure to the end”? Did Paul deceive the jailer? No , He told him exactly the ONLY way to be saved... Look and Live :)

Mt. 7:21-23 refers to religious people who were NEVER saved, but Mt. 25:12, Lk. 13:25 and Lk. 13:27 refer to people who didn’t hear “I NEVER knew you,” just “I don’t know you.” Especially Mt. 25:12 is clear that such people were previously saved.

We believe that we are saved by grace (Eph. 2:8,9) but we can fall from grace (Gal. 5:2-4). We are justified by faith (Rom. 5:1) but our faith can become shipwrecked (1

Tim. 1:19,20) and cease to exist (Lk. 8:13; Rom. 11:19-23). We are not under the law (Rom. 6:14,15) but if you live according to the sinful nature you will die (Rom. 8:13). Paul taught against legalism (Gal. 5:3,4) but he also taught that no immoral, impure or greedy person has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God (Eph. 5:5-7). We are not saved by works (Eph. 2:8,9) but to reap eternal life and not destruction you must sow to please the Spirit and not the sinful nature (Gal. 6:8,9). God is faithful to us (1 Jn. 1:9; 1 Cor. 10:13) but we must be faithful to him to the very end of our lives to escape the lake of fire or second death (Rev. 2:10,11). God surely loves us (Jn. 3:16; Mk. 10:21; Rom. 8:35-39) but those who inherit the kingdom of God love God (Jam

2:5; 1 Cor. 2:9) and to love God means to obey his commands (Jn. 14:15; 1 Jn. 5:3). We have freedom in Christ (Gal. 5:1) but this freedom is not to indulge the sinful nature (Gal. 5:13; 1 Pet 2:16).

What you should say is you “think” or you “believe” you are secure. That is your belief, but your belief is unscriptural. Also, being “miserable” in sin is not saying anything. The issue is can a righteous man die spiritually by turning to sin? The answer is clearly yes, according to Ezek. 33:18; 33:13; 18:24; Gen. 2:17; James 1:14-16; James 5:19,20; Rom. 8:13; etc.

All sins are not the same in their effect on our souls. Some sins are greater than others (Jn. 19:11). One type is eternal (Mk. 3:29), while others are not. Another type

of sin is uniquely against our bodies, while other sins are outside our bodies (1 Cor. 6:18). 1 Jn. 5:16 declares there is a sin that does not lead to death while there is a sin that leads to death. Sins such as worry (Phil. 4:6), unthankfulness (Col. 2:7, 3:15; Lk. 17:11-18) and not being completely humble and gentle (Eph. 4:2) are not included in any of the lists of sins that will send people to the lake of fire, even if they were once saved. However, other sins certainly will send any person to hell if they die

unrepentant, even a person who was once saved. (See 1 Cor. 6:9,10; Rev. 21:8; Gal. 5:19-21; Eph. 5:5,6; Jude 7; Rev. 22:15; etc.).

understand this salvation related subject.

Remember Gal. 6:8,9 is a SALVATION passage not a rewards passage. GOD BLESS YOU.

(EMAIL) I’m sorry that you don’t have peace in knowing that you have eternal security once you’ve accepted Christ as your personal Savior. Christ only died once for our sins, not many times. What sin makes you lose your salvation? I think there is much misunderstanding to “once saved, always saved” doctrine. This does not give license to do whatever you want and live a life of sin, not if you’ve made a true commitment to Christ. Don’t you believe what the Bible says about the Holy Spirit sealing you? But, even though we are cleansed from His blood shed at Calvary, this doesn’t mean we are perfect—we still sin and we still need to ask for that forgiveness. This is not another conversion process, but sins we commit as imperfect people in an imperfect world, until we are taken up into glory with Him. How else would you know you sinned unless the Holy Spirit is working in you? Forgive me, but your doctrine doesn't make sense if you take in all of God’s Word about salvation. God Bless You!

Please don’t feel sorry for us. We are walking in the fear of God, putting into practice God’s word and have all 100% of our trust in JESUS, as the Bible teaches. Please know to reject eternal security, as we do, doesn’t mean that we think Jesus has to die more than once. He died only once for man’s redemption. Sin can clearly cause loss of salvation. Please read this http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/spiritualdeath.htm

Eternal security is a license for immorality because people, so deceived, think they will still enter God’s kingdom in their sexual sin, drunkenness, theft, lying, etc. You denying it won’t change these facts.

The seal of the Holy Spirit is NOT a guarantee that one will not get that seal broken. Paul believed it could be broken (Rom. 8:13; Gal. 6:8,9; etc.).

One can resist the devil and he will flee. We do NOT have to yield to temptation. We can OBEY God which is needed for salvation (Heb. 5:9).

Don’t you believe one must endure hatred for serving Jesus to the end to be saved (Mt. 10:22)?

(EMAIL) We find your messages a great blessing. How good it is to hear or read the truth when there is so much deception around us. We home church with a few families because all the churches here preach the lie of eternal security or live the lie or are just dead. Keep the faith. Blessings,

________________

(EMAIL) We have just found your website and as a Family we would like to thank you for the instruction we have found. We were being invited to attend \“shabbat\” meetings with some messianic jews, and all the time we found a lot of inconsistencies, but your site gave us tools to retort. Anyway, we are now free again.

God Bless you and your ministry.

(RESPONSE) Greetings in JESUS’ name.

THANK YOU for the kind words. It is WONDERFUL to read that you have found answers and help from our materials. It is vital to stick to the Bible like glue. We are living in a day of great religious deception. We must proceed carefully and humbly.

If you never received a free ministry packet and want one, please send us your address. GOD BLESS YOU.

________________

(EMAIL) I so enjoy receiving your e mails, they are so helpful to me as I share the gospel with friends and strangers. I shared your book on Mary with family members and they were definitely moved, please pray for me as I continue share with them the truth of the gospel and the heresy of Roman Catholicism.

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name.

It is WONDERFUL to read that you are trying to help Catholics find salvation. Since the ecumenical movement, witnessing to Catholics is almost non-existent, which means there are hundreds of MILLIONS of Catholics (some which are open to truth), but are not hearing it. May God help you and all others who are trying to win souls. Remember 1 Cor. 15:58.

GOD BLESS YOU. Heb. 3:14.

(EMAIL) I just read Dan Corner\’s commentary about \“Messianic Jews\”. Thank You , it was very informative. I am a Bible believing, studing Christian, who has many questions. I have a strong pulling in my heart for the Jewish people, i want to partake in their holy days, but didn\’t know if it was alright since I am not subject to the law. I can\’t even really explain why I so want to do this, but I do. In everything I must praise God, so I don\’t want this to be out of order. Can you give some deeper insight? Is it ok for me to celebrate?

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name.

The best way to learn the truth is to indulge yourself in the truth, that is, try to overdose on the New Testament Scriptures! Read, reread and reread again the New Testament from various reputable translations. Memorize, ponder and act upon the Scriptural truths there. This is the cure all to spiritual deception.

There is NO WAY the Gentiles who were being brought into Christianity from NO RELIGION at all were told by the Jewish and Hebrew Apostles of the Lord to keep the Jewish feast days. Their message was MUCH different than the Hebrew people claiming to be Christian in our day, but are promoting keeping the Jewish feast days, etc.

Remember also there is no eternal security. Heb. 3:14.
