Rom 4:1 tells us that Abrahams testimony of salvation is recorded in Scripture. Genese 15:1-6 gives us that testimony, repeated not only in Rom 4:1-5 but also Rom 4:16-25; and Gal 3:6-8. Rom 4:16-19 is not teaching about life after salvation, such as Abraham in Gen 17, as some imply, but salvation itself. The entire 4th chapter of Romans is about justification. Salvation has never changed. It’s always been exactly the same throughout all ages. If we believe like Abraham did,

In that supernatural and dramatic permanent moment of conversion, yea “the day of salvation,” in which “a time accepted” that Christ “heard thee,” and “succoured thee” (2 Cor 6:2), a number of amazing paradoxes occurred in order for the repentant faith of salvation to be true and life giving. A paradox is a very interesting anomaly. It is a tenet or proposition contrary to received opinion, appearing seemingly absurd or contradictory, yet true in fact. Logically it seems unac

In Matt 10:34-39 the Lord Jesus, in teaching His apostles in what to preach as He sent them out to evangelize, declared: “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and

To the Neo-Evangelical . That includes the very vast majority of evangelical-type churches/ denominations, including the denominations of EBMC, EMC. “And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? . . . But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.” (Lk 6:46,49). “He that loveth me not kee

A person that commits suicide, or attempts suicide has never been born again and thus does not enter the glories of God’s Kingdom. No, they do not "lose their salvation." It is impossible to lose salvation and eternal life, so obviously these have never been genuinely converted, and therein join the majoirty of professing Christians. They might be "professing" Christians, but they are not possessing Christians. Anyone can claim to be a Christian, but only those who possess th

The Lord Jesus preached in His Sermon on the Mount: “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” (Matt 6:24) Related to this is something the Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Cor 7:22-23: “For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant. Ye are bought with a price; be
