Salvation is easy & it's a freely given gift. We RECEIVE the gift through faith. Discipleship is hard & costly & it takes a daily choice in obedience to put on the new man (only believers can do this) & be in the world but not of it. youtube.com/shorts/EaFQPSrnV…

Finally got to the jist of it. If you're questioning whether people are saved if they don't show it by works or aren't bothered by their sin, then you have a backloaded works gospel. It is a false unprofitable gospel that saves no one.
that is why faith without works is dead, becuse is it real faith if you're not bothered by your sins, can you say you truly love God? We cannot be perfect here and we're gonna error, but that doesn't mean we should give up either. Impressed by your understanding btw few understan

HAPPENED AT A TENNESSEE FOOTBALL GAME---NOT A JOKE. CHRISTIANITY IS NOW THE TARGET OF PERSECUTION... GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO READS THIS... I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL CAN SEE THE PROBLEM, BUT OUR SOCIETY CANNOT. TENNESSEE H.S. FOOTBALL THIS IS A STATEMENT THAT WAS READ OVER THE PA SYSTEM AT THE FOOTBALL GAME AT ROANE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL, KINGSTON, TENNESSEE, BY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, JODY MCLEOD: "IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE CUSTOM AT ROANE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAMES, TO SAY A PRAYER AND PLAY THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, TO HONOR GOD AND COUNTRY. "DUE TO A RECENT COMPLAINT, AND RULING BY THE COURT, I AM TOLD THAT SAYING A PRAYER IS "A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL CASE LAW". AS I UNDERSTAND THE LAW AT THIS TIME, I CAN USE THIS PUBLIC FACILITY TO APPROVE OF SEXUAL PERVERSION AND CALL IT "AN ALTERNATE LIFE STYLE", AND, IF SOMEONE IS OFFENDED, THAT'S OK. I CAN USE IT TO CONDONE SEXUAL PROMISCUITY, BY DISPENSING CONDOMS AND CALLING IT, "SAFE SEX." IF SOMEONE IS OFFENDED, THAT'S OK. I CAN EVEN USE THIS PUBLIC FACILITY TO PRESENT THE MERITS OF KILLING AN UNBORN BABY AS A "VIABLE MEANS OF BIRTH CONTROL." IF SOMEONE IS OFFENDED, NO PROBLEM... I CAN DESIGNATE A SCHOOL DAY AS "EARTH DAY" AND INVOLVE STUDENTS IN ACTIVITIES TO WORSHIP RELIGIOUSLY AND PRAISE THE "GODDESS MOTHER EARTH", AND CALL IT "ECOLOGY.." I CAN USE LITERATURE, VIDEOS AND PRESENTATIONS IN THE CLASSROOM THAT DEPICTS PEOPLE WITH STRONG TRADITIONAL CHRISTIAN CONVICTIONS AS "SIMPLE MINDED" AND "IGNORANT" AND CALL IT "ENLIGHTENMENT." HOWEVER, IF ANYONE USES THIS FACILITY TO HONOR GOD AND TO ASK HIM TO BLESS THIS EVENT WITH SAFETY AND GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP, THEN FEDERAL CASE LAW IS VIOLATED. THIS APPEARS TO BE INCONSISTENT AT BEST, AND AT WORST, DIABOLICAL. APPARENTLY, WE ARE TO BE TOLERANT OF EVERYTHING AND ANYONE, EXCEPT GOD AND HIS COMMANDMENTS. NEVERTHELESS, AS A SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, I FREQUENTLY ASK STAFF AND STUDENTS TO ABIDE BY RULES WITH WHICH THEY DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE. FOR ME TO DO OTHERWISE WOULD BE INCONSISTENT AT BEST, AND AT WORST, HYPOCRITICAL. I SUFFER FROM THAT AFFLICTION ENOUGH UNINTENTIONALLY, AND I CERTAINLY DO NOT NEED TO ADD AN INTENTIONAL TRANSGRESSION. FOR THIS REASON, I SHALL "RENDER UNTO CAESAR THAT WHICH IS CAESAR'S," AND REFRAIN FROM PRAYING AT THIS TIME... "HOWEVER, IF YOU FEEL INSPIRED TO HONOR, PRAISE AND THANK GOD AND ASK HIM, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, TO BLESS THIS EVENT, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DO SO... AS FAR AS I KNOW, THAT'S NOT AGAINST THE LAW--YET!" SILENCE FELL. ONE BY ONE, THE PEOPLE IN THE STANDS BOWED THEIR HEADS, HELD HANDS WITH ONE ANOTHER AND BEGAN TO PRAY. THEY PRAYED IN THE STANDS. THEY PRAYED IN THE TEAM HUDDLES. THEY PRAYED AT THE CONCESSION STAND, AND THEY PRAYED IN THE ANNOUNCER'S BOX! (THE ONLY PLACE THEY DIDN'T PRAY WAS IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - THE "SEAT OF JUSTICE", THAT'S IN THE "ONE NATION, UNDER GOD.") SOMEHOW, KINGSTON, TENNESSEE, REMEMBERED WHAT SO MANY HAVE NOW FORGOTTEN. WE ARE GIVEN THE FREEDOM OF RELIGION, NOT THE FREEDOM FROM RELIGION!! PRAISE GOD THAT HIS REMNANT REMAINS! JESUS SAID, "IF YOU ARE ASHAMED OF ME BEFORE MEN, THEN I WILL BE ASHAMED OF YOU BEFORE MY FATHER.." IF YOU ARE NOT ASHAMED, PASS THIS ON! I'M NOT ONE BIT ASHAMED TO PASS THIS ON, ARE YOU? THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS! GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO READS THIS AND PASSES IT ON!

False. No one can take you out of His hands once you have received the gift of eternal life, this includes yourself. There is no unborn-again, unsaved, unsealed with the Holy Spirit.
Replying to @Sheltieman3
The verses that support it are true and they say God will never take his gift from us. We, however can choose to let go of it and lose it after receiving it. But it will always be available for us to accept and pick back up again.

That is a lie Dinesh. It is by Jesus's fidelity we are saved and KEPT saved. Justification guarantees glorification. Jesus nor the Father EVER let go.

8/8 Assurance rests on Christ's promise, not introspection. If I believe Jesus for everlasting life, I have everlasting life because HE promised it. "I have written to you who believe...that you may know that you have eternal life." 1 John 5:13 Christ + nothing.

7/8 Justification guarantees glorification, not sanctification. Believers can be carnal, disobedient, immature & fail in discipleship. Paul called the Corinthians "carnal" while still calling them "brethren." 1 Cor 3:1-3 A believer is a believer. An unbeliever is an unbeliever.

6/8 Works are not the condition of justification. "Man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law." Rom 3:28 "To him who does not work but believes...his faith is accounted for righteousness." Rom 4:5 Faith receives. Works perform.

5/8 The object of faith matters. What do you believe about Jesus? Christ "died for our sins...was buried...and...rose again." 1 Cor 15:3-4 John wrote so people would believe Jesus is the Christ and "have life in His name." John 20:31

4/8 Prayer does not save. Crying does not save. Brokenness does not save. Surrender does not save. Jesus Christ saves. "For whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16 Faith receives the gift. It does not earn it.

3/8 Biblical repentance involves a change of mind. It is not a required emo experience, degree of brokennss, commitmt to reform, or turning from sins added to faith as a condition of eternal life. Repentance & faith must not be turned into something else Acts 17:30-31, 2 Tim 2:25

2/8 The condition for eternal life is believing in Jesus Christ. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved." Acts 16:31 The issue is not whether someone experienced the right emotions. The issue is whether they believed Christ.

1/8 Repentance = a change of mind. Faith = believing the testimony/promise concerning Jesus Christ. The object of faith = Jesus Christ, not repentance, brokenness, prayer, surrender, or works. "For by grace you have been saved through faith..." Eph 2:8

I'm always amused by (never surprised or upset) when someone snipes at me... and then immediately blocks me. How cute.

Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world, was buried, and rose again the third day for our justification (1 John 2:2, 1 Cor 15:1-4, Rom 4:25). Simply believe on Him to be saved (Acts 16:31, John 3:16-18, 5:24, 6:47). The Gospel is God’s power to save all who believe (Rom 1:16)

@RubenRuiz3 Faith/trust/belief is not a work. One MUST put their faith/trust/belief in Jesus Christ and his finished work for salvation but it is NOT a work. Your words are contrary to the word of GOD...Bible: Romans 4:5 KJV But to HIM THAT WORKETH NOT, BUT BELIEVETH on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV For by grace are ye SAVED THROUGH FAITH; and that NOT OF YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God: NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast.
