So you believe in eternal security? Well I happen to believe, based on scripture, that if we don't follow ALL of Christ's commands, then we don't love Him, and AREN'T going to heaven. And I can share a whole wealth of scriptures, if you'd like to hear them.Blitz wrote:Your focusing so much on what we do, but isn't the price paid? Once you believe in Christ you are saved, sealed.
Jesus didn't say money was a sin. He said "not giving, and wanting to make a hoarding profit" was a sin. So your argument that I'm saying "rich don't go to heaven" falls flat. Rich CAN go to heaven. But it's going to be harder for them than others... not impossible, just harder. Because they are going to have to be willing to let go of their possessions and give more to God, than what the poor can. Understand??Blitz wrote:So according to your description of who is going to heaven, you aren't since you are rich.
And there's a difference between judging, and warning. I thought that was something you all knew. If I was divorced, remarried and living in adultery, and thought I was a Christian, on my way to Heaven, and someone came and proved to me from the scriptures that I was wrong, what would you call that? Do you call that judging? Or a loving warning? That is a difference! And I hope you all can find the difference here.
I'm not sure "hospitals/doctors/physicians all got tied up in this. I blame Eleventh for bringing it up, and myself for commenting...but you have to understand I NEVER said or indicated doctors can't be saved! There are doctors in hell, and doctors in heaven. There is students in hell, and students in heaven. There are teachers in hell, and teachers in heaven. There are farmers in hell, and farmers in heaven. God calls everyone! But only a FEW find that narrow way according to Matthew 7:14 And I say if you argue against that, as Eleventh said, you are arguing against God!
I'm not attempting to argue with any of you, simply to make myself clear on how I stand. Am I clear?

I couldn't have said it better myself. Matthew 6:19 makes this very clear.
