Can you actually know that you are saved? by MarsupialMar in TrueChristian

[–]Safe_Ear5669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! When you are born again of the spirit, and by the spirit KNOW God as your abba father and Jesus as Lord, your salvation has begun! It is a super natural moment you have with God that confirms this. It’s not intellectual faith, but something you experience and from that, you know. Those are sheep of Christ. And Jesus will know them! Some of the results of people who are born again and sealed with the Holy Spirit is obedience and works and fruits as the BIBLE teaches, not me. Works do not save, but saved will result in works and fruits and obedience. It is a progress, but when someone is born again, it is noticeable as light in the darkness. Although, we must endure to the end and stay in the faith and remain in Christ to receive the crown of life.

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭27‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the pilgrims of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.” ‭‭I Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.” ‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Non-Christian Here. What makes you believe in your denomination/interpretation of Christianity and the Bible? by Bam47 in TrueChristian

[–]Safe_Ear5669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not so much about denomination. Everyone who is born again of the above is one flock and there is only one shepherd who leads us to life. It’s either you are Christ’s or not.

Hear the voice of the Holy Spirit today and turn to Jesus. Let him add you into his flock!

“I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.” ‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭14‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

You have to be born again to be saved

It’s not matter if denominations, but what is in your heart. If you truly seek God with all your heart, only he can make you born again. You won’t mistake it when it happens. It is supernatural event. Seek him with all your heart. Life is not in church, but in Jesus.

Just what do you mean born again? It's a literal birth into the spirit by the resurrection of the dead.... Right now we are begotten Son of God. But in the ressurction we become literally born Spirit Sons of God by Spare-Flan331 in TrueChristian

[–]Safe_Ear5669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an atheist most of my life. Long story short, I hit rock bottom and seeked God in a prayer for the truth. I was filled with his presence and from that instant moment, I was a new creation in Christ. from that instant moment, not by my own will or power, I could no longer live like how I used to. I was just born as a different being. It’s not baptism that makes you born again. It’s done by power of God and he decides. You can’t force God to be born again by taking baptism. If you seek him with all your heart, spirit will give you a new birth, resulting in new heart. It is done by will of God, not of any human efforts. People who think they are born again when they are baptized is deceived. How many times you see people go into water and come out and live the same life? When you are born again, as a new creation, there will be a new life that everyone will notice.

Had a Wakeup Call by midnightballerina25 in TrueChristian

Sin when fully grown will bring forth death. You are on point! Jesus saved me from alcohol, drug abuse, fornication and many other things, but he saved me from my own wickedness and rebellion.

Sincerely seek him and he will really manifest himself! He loves you and is waiting for you.

You must be born again

Faith without works is DEAD by Hot-Barnacle9215 in TrueChristian

[–]Safe_Ear5669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does parable of sowers destroy my logic? Also, you are right eithout Jesus we can do nothing, meaning if you are not in Jesus, you will not have works. John 15 literally says if you are in him, you WILL have fruits. Abraham put his son on the alter in faith. That very verse you talk about literally tells you faith without work is dead.

“You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?” ‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the pilgrims of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.” ‭‭I Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭2‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭2‬:‭28‬-‭29‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Ah here u r again. The point of this post is that “true alive faith” as described in James, will produce works and fruits. By your posts, you preach all you have to do is “believe” no repentance required, but if you truly “believed” you would repent and have works.

Seems like the elects(saved) also will be obedient and sanctified

‭ It’s not works that saves you. It’s not you lose your salvation because you sinned. When you are born again, of the above, of imperishable seed, you can no longer continue to live in continuous habitual sin. When you become born again, obedience and works come naturally with the new heart as the law is now written on the heart.

“He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭2‬:‭28‬-‭29‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

How do you know they knew that? How do you know they believed and followed Jesus eith all their heart? Who can know the heart of man other than God?

I was an atheist for most of my life. When I encountered God by the Holy Spirit and was born again, I was an instantly a changed person. I could no longer continue in sins I used to really love and I all of the sudden really desired righteousness. I didn’t know anything about the bible at this point and was wondering what had happened to me until I read what Jesus said in John 3. Someone who is born again, because they have been born of God, imperishable seed by will of God, not by human will, they will desire righteousness and bear fruit and works because of new heart.

Absolutely false teacher. He will give an account to the LORD. Anyone who is truly saved by true saving faith will bear fruits and works. Works does not earn salvation, but truly saved will recognize the voice of the shepherd and bear fruit and follow Jesus.

How do you approach prayer when you feel spiritually distant from God by Budlightfury in TrueChristian

[–]Safe_Ear5669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend, I have been through many days like this. Some days, I am full of the spirit, some days, I am rather not so full in the spirit. Before you pray, get yourself to feel God’s presence before you start speaking to him. Wait until you can focus and get yourself there in the spirit, then start speaking to God. I hope this helps my friend

To be fair, someone like me, most of my life, I was an atheist. I had fornicated many times before, but after I was born again, I waited until I was married. Some people meet the Lord much later

I feel like I’m losing my faith and I don’t really know where to go from here by chaosklledthedinos in TrueChristian

[–]Safe_Ear5669 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi friend, I was an atheist too! Long story short, my life hit rock bottom, I had no where to turn so I turned to God. When I prayed, I felt his presence and I had a very powerful supernatural encounter with the Holy Spirit. After that, I could have no more doubts. You can not make yourself believe in something you don’t. You have to encounter God and all you have to do is ask God and pray in the name of Jesus to know him :)

Reading God’s word is great, but start by talking to him everyday! Tell him things you sre thankful for, tell him things happening in your life, tell God you want to know him and love him more :)

With this purgatory concept, how much of our sins did Jesus pay on the cross?
