1) When a person is saved (justified), they have died with Christ and have been raised up in life (Romans 6:1-14).
2) Only God can raise the dead (2 Corinthians 1:1-11)
3) If salvation (justification) can be lost or forfeited, are we saying that we alone have the power to raise the dead? (1 Samuel 2:1-11)
Water baptism has no salvific power. Only blood has the power to cover sin.
Going back to the law, we see that water makes you ceremonial clean (Leviticus 14 and 15). Blood covers sin (Leviticus 17).
Therefore, the blood of Jesus covers our sin. That moment happens when we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead. Water baptism is the outward confession of our faith, or ceremonial cleanliness.
Our salvation is in Christ alone, not of our works.
There are so many people who call themselves "Christians" that don't have any idea how to be saved. That means a lot of people will hear Matthew 7:21-23 because they're being lied to about what salvation is.
Don't take anyone's words for it. And yes. I'm including myself. Read the scripture I've given you. And if what your preacher, pastor, father, or anyone else tells you something different, they are apostate. It's just that simple.
Christ alone❤️
The Gospel of Salvation is the same whether explained by Jesus, John, Peter, Paul, James, or Jude.
A saved person is changed in an instant. That doesn't mean they stop sinning, of course. It does mean they are hyper-aware of sin because they are filled with The Holy Spirit. They're convicted of things that never bothered them before.
Over time, as people draw closer to The Lord, they sin less and less. Many of the things they enjoyed (music, movies, even foul humor), are no longer appealing. They have a thirst for Christ and hunger for His Word.
These are the fruits of the saved.
A CINO (Christian in name only), do not. They go to church, sing, clap their hands, lift their arms, and go through the motions. Outside of church, they are the same people they were before professing Christianity.
These are the fruits of false converts.
Here are some scriptures explaining it:
Matthew 13
John 5
John 10
John 15
Romans 8
Romans 11
1 Corinthians 15
2 Timothy 2
Galatians 5
Ephesians 1
Ephesians 4
Philippians 1
Hebrews 6
James 2
1 Peter 1
1 John 3
1 John 5
Jude 1
Salvation (justification) happens, when a person turns away from their life and accepts that only through the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ Jesus does one become saved (Romans 10:8-19 and Ephesians 2:1-10).
Salvation (sanctification) is the process of, and the fruits born through it, of your life as a new creation in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:11-21).
Salvation (glorification) will not happen until we're with Christ in our resurrected bodies (Philippians 3:20-21).
“I have been saved; I am being saved; and, I will be saved.”
Do not conflate abstaining from voting with righteousness. By abstaining from voting:
1) You're approving abortion becoming more common and up to birth.
2) You're approving men going into women's bathrooms and locker rooms.
3) You're approving boys competing with girls in sports.
4) You're approving the destruction of biblical marriage.
5) You're approving of children being butchered via "gender affirming care." Even if it means taking the child away from their parents. Meanwhile we're going to pay for it.
I can go on. But if you don't get it by now, there's nothing more that I can say. If this offends you, its a YOU problem. You're more than welcome to unfollow me.
Don't complain about the state of our nation if you abstained from voting. And save me your self-righteous proclamations. We're voting for people in government, not church leadership.
On another note. Perhaps more biblical Christians should run for office. The allies of the enemy, whether they know they're allies with him or not, is more than willing to vote and run for office. Why aren't we?
When we watch a fire start in our house, and own a fire extinguisher, do we grab it and put the fire out? Of course we do. Will some damage still occur? Absolutely. But there will be far less damage if we sit back and watch it burn.
Now replace a fire starting in your house with governance.
I hate lies. That's why I hate Islam.
I hate that Islam is dragging millions into Hell. The same Hell the most obvious false prophet in history is currently.
I hate that Islam turns intelligent people into abject morons.
I hate that Islam oppresses, assaults, rapes, and murders in the name of Muhammad. Not because those people are outliers of Islam. They're faithly following it.
I love you enough to tell you the truth about Islam. It leads only to damnation.
Dear Islam haters,
More than 1,000 insults because I chose to share what I believe in.
Imagine hating someone simply because they believe in a different religion.
I don’t insult you for being Christian, Jewish, atheist or belonging to any other faith. I don’t believe you deserve hatred for your beliefs.
So why should I be treated differently?
You don’t have to agree with Islam. You don’t have to become Muslim. But you can disagree without being disrespectful.

Apparently it's necessary to bring this back to the forefront.
Replacement theology is a demonic theology.

Israel’s Rejection Not Total
11 I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying, 3 “Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life”? 4 But what does the divine response say to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5 Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. [a]But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
7 What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded. 8 Just as it is written:
“God has given them a spirit of stupor,
Eyes that they should not see
And ears that they should not hear,
To this very day.”
9 And David says:
“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
A stumbling block and a recompense to them.
10
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see,
And bow down their back always.”

24 Now a Jew named Apollos, a native Alexandrian, an eloquent man who was competent in the use of the Scriptures, arrived in Ephesus. 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately about Jesus, although he knew only John’s baptism. 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. After Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained the way of God to him more accurately. 27 When he wanted to cross over to Achaia, the brothers and sisters wrote to the disciples to welcome him. After he arrived, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed. 28 For he vigorously refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating through the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah.
Acts 18:24-28
Posts this yet immediately rejects Hell as being eternal conscious torment.
Why? Intellectual dishonesty.

The cross wasn't just a tsunami of God’s wrath. It was ten thousand atom bombs aimed directly at Jesus, and He willingly absorbed it all.

To my brothers and sisters in Christ:
We should fully expect people to be offended by the gospel of salvation through Christ Jesus. If the lost aren't offended, at least to some extent, we're sharing an incomplete, ergo false, gospel.
How I want to respond to so many folks today:
Wisdom has been chasing you. But you've always been faster.
Even the scribes and Pharisees would tell these folks how extra they're being with their self-righteousness.
It is good to see so many Christian users of X have stopped doing all the sins that they have repented for. I’m very glad none of them is still struggling with any of the sins for which they truly don’t wanna do anymore, unlike so many of us in this fallen world who still struggle daily with our particular vices that God hates. Indeed, we should all strive to be like these people who never backslide into their sins.
