ETERNAL SECURITY!!!
It appears that you Failed to Realize the Power of God and His Long-Suffering and Patience. If you cannot understand what this message I'm posting then you very well might never understand because of the crystalyzing of your heart.
1 Corinthians 6:20 - For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Were you or were you not bought or purchased with the Blood of Christ?
2 Timothy 3:5 - Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Take a very close look at the above verse:Is or is not God Almighty? Now do not misinterpret what I am trying to get across here. I am not saying that since a person is saved that they can continue to live in sin for the rest of their lives and still make it to heaven!
There are those such as yourself who believes that Eternal Security allows one to live in sin(Antimonianism), however that is denying the very nature of ”SALVATION” itself. {Salvation} is uniting oneself with Christ and death to sin, and not continuance in sin. Therefore the one who honestly seeks salvation from God knowing that He/She Deserves to be Condemned will put their Total Reliance upon the Lord and not man.
Example:Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Romans 6:4-6
1 John 3:9 - Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. His seed remains in Him such as the parable of one who has root within Himself, the seeds that fell among the wayside, thorns or stony grounds did not REMAIN because it has not root from within! neither was it planted deeply enough for it to Grow but lacked Soil and Water, OR it had NO SOWER NOR REAPER!!!
Lets take a close look at scriptures within the Bible and its promises regarding eternal life to those who have root within themselves.
Take a very close look at the parable of the seed that fell on different grounds, you will see within this parable that only one had root within them and the others did not. You might very well say that you must first have faith in the first place in order to fall away from faith. OK, lets see!!!
Matthew 13:21 - Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
It clearly states that the one having root within themselves cannot fall away, all other seeds that fell AMONG stony places, by the wayside and among the thorns did not have root, in order for a tree or plant to bring forth its leaves it must have root or it will remain barren and therefore must be hewn down, do you understand where I am coming from?
Take a look at this Scripture below:Mal 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
When the LORD GOD returns with His Holy Ones, The Entire Inhabited Earth will have no root nor branch, which spiritually means that the Unbelievers will be consumed by the Fire of Gods Wrath, do you understand this?
Ephesians 1:13 - In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
You might want to consider the Sealing of the Holy Spirit as a “Down Payment” for Eternal Life, but once again as I had stated earlier! This does not mean that one can continue to live in sin because the very nature of Salvation is Union with Christ and Crucifying your sins to the Cross OR DEATH TO SIN! and not continuing in sin willfully, but True Repentance!
If someone sends you a card of Greetings or a card such as a get well card or a Birthday card via mail it is signed sealed and delivered, correct?
Now my point is that, will the one who had Sent you this card take it back after He”SIGNED, SEALED AND DELIVERED” it???
Another Example:
Ephesians 4:30 - And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Take another look at this verse again:
2 Peter 2:1 - But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
Can any Genuine Believer ever be Plucked out of Gods Hand or can any Genuine Believer Ever Separated from the Love of God and His Infinite POWER?
Your Answer?
Do You Believe with All Your Heart that You will be able to stand firm in your Faith until the Very End? OR Do You believe with All Your Heart that you may depart from Your Faith One Day?
The {Key Word} here is “MAY”
Possible Answers!?:
I may fall or depart from my faith? And if may then where is the Trust in the Lord with ALL YOUR HEART?
And if may not depart or fall from your faith then why is the word may used? Christoften used MAY as an example of How much Trust you have in Him, This is Up To The So-Called Believer! This is what have been taught to me by Him.

Taken from an article by Dr. Timothy Ice
JVI: Let me quote is first, “Let no man deceive you for that day [Christ’s Return] shall not come except there come a falling away first, and then shall that wicked one be revealed.” Dr. John R. Rice, years ago, used to preach that the falling away meant the Laws of Gravity would be broken and the Rapture would take place. I thought where did he ever get that idea? Now I'm going to have Rexella read something to you because other Bibles before the King James Version do not use Apostasia as a falling away, but rather a departure – a Rapture – taken up in the twinkling of an eye. (I Corinthians 15:52)
Here are the Bibles before the King James Version:
- Wycliffe Bible – 1384
- Tyndale Bible – 1526
- Cloverdale Bible – 1526
- Cranmer Bible – 1539
- Breeches Bible – 1576
- Beza Bible – 1583
- Geneva Bible – 1608
Jack, they all used that other term, didn’t they?
JVI: Nobody knows why King James changed the word to “falling away” when it’s so plain in every Bible until that time as a “departure.” Now, does it fit the situation? Let me quote it that way “Let no man deceive you for that day Christ’s return to earth shall not come until there come a “departure” first,” seven years before, and that is the Rapture “and then shall that wicked one be revealed.” He continues in verse 7. He says “the mystery of iniquity does already work. He who hinders will continue to hinder until he is removed, departed, and then shall that wicked one, the Antichrist, shall be revealed. In both cases there is a departure. I am not going to use that text anymore as long as I live as a falling away. I am going to use it as the Rapture because God has shown me through Dr. Timothy Ice that it is a departure, and it’s all so near.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38,39
Are you IN CHRIST JESUS, and He in you?
John 15:5 - I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
John 10:38 - But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. John 10:27-30
No man can Pluck OUT The Root which is Christ Jesus!
And no man can Can Pluck Jesus out a The Genuine True Believer!
I HOPE that you were not offended by my response.
Why Doubt His(Father) Power?
Why Doubt His(Son)Power?
Why Doubt His{Holy Spirit}Power?
Matthew 14:30,31 - But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
Boisterous(VIOLENT)
Non- BOISTEROUS!
{Non- BOISTEROUS!}John 3:8 - 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.
Have a Wonderful Day My Brother in Christ!
GOD BLESS!!!
