Temporal: Saved & Destroyed after - Grace & Law\nEternal: Saved & Aware what from - Grace & Truth\n\nEg: Exodus folk got both saved & destroyed: Jude 5\nEg: God will have all men saved & aware: 1Tim 2:3,4\n\nSo the question shouldn't be are you saved,\nrather are you aware what all are saved from?\n\nMt 6: Our Father... deliver us from "evil".\nRom 7:6 We are delivered from the "law".

We are "saved" from eternal damnation pure and simple.  The problem lies in trying to confuse the salvation issue.  As humans we're inclined to want to "add" to things so as to make it "ours" as it were.  The problem with this is that since the beginning of time salvation from an eternal damnation has always been appropriated by faith.\n\nIf you'll look at Genesis 15:6 you'll find a shining example of salvation when the Lord refers to Abraham.  The verse is speaking of the confirmation of the Abrahamic covenant and the promised spiritual seed when he says, "And he (Abraham) believed in the Lord, and He (God) accounted it to him for righteousness (emphasis mine).\n\nThe most well known verse also confirms salvation by grace: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whomever believes on Him shall be saved" (John 3:16).\n\nWe are saved from our consequences of sin and thus we inherit eternal salvation.\n\nYou'll note that the difference in Jude 5 is that the Lord qualifies who wasn't saved, namely, "those who did not believe."\n\nIn Romans 7:6 "delivered from the law" is correct in that we are not bound by trying to keep the law.  That is, we do not earn salvation by trying to keep the commandments, rather we are saved by faith through grace alone (Ephesians 2:8-9).\n\nHope this helps!

ONE GOD ONE ENTITY\n\n( Do you trust God’s Word or mans’? )\n\nIsa.43:10 Ye are My witnesses, saith the LORD, and My servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He: before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me. Isa.43:11  I, even I, am the LORD; and beside Me there is no saviour. Isa.43:12  I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are My witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God. \n\nIsa.44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside Me there is no God. \n\nRev.1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.\n\nIsa.44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside Me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. \n\nIsa.45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. \n\nIsa.45:21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside Me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside Me. Isa.45:22 Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. \n\nIsa.46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me, Isa.46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure: \n \nIsa 7:14  Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. \n\nMatt.1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.\n\nJohn 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. \n\nJohn.1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. \n\nEph.4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, Eph 4:6  One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. \n\nHeb.2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; \n\nI John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are One.\n\nJoh 8:58  Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

I am a member of Christian of Texas. I enjoy reading the daily digest that is sent to me. My 360 link is http://360.yahoo.com/brickcollecter and my favorite scripture is John 3:16 because it explains our entire plan of salvation in one, simple verse. Too many think that it has to be hard to be saved, that you have to prove something. You don't, it's a gift from God, you only have to accept it and declare it! God bless you.

It is by Gods grace that we are granted mercy. This is the help in our time of need because we cannot earn our salvation, we recieve it as gift from God.\n\nHebrews 4:16 \nLet us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.\n\nEphesians 2:8\nFor it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

Once a person is saved, is he always saved?\n\nAccording  to most religions once you accept Jesus, you are always saved from then on.  BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT THE SCRIPTURES SAY:\n\nJude 5, RS: “I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that he who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.” \n\nMatt. 24:13, RS: “He who endures to the end will be saved.” (So a person’s final salvation is not determined at the moment that he begins to put faith in Jesus.)\n\nPhil. 2:12, RS: “As you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” (This was addressed to “the saints,” or holy ones, at Philippi, as stated in Philippians 1:1. Paul urged them not to be overly confident but to realize that their final salvation was not yet assured.)\n\nHeb. 10:26, 27, RS: “If we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries.” (Thus the Bible does not go along with the idea that no matter what sins a person may commit after he is “saved” he will not lose his salvation. It encourages faithfulness. See also Hebrews 6:4-6, where it is shown that even a person anointed with holy spirit can lose his hope of salvation.)\n\nIs anything more than faith needed in order to gain salvation?\n\nEph. 2:8, 9, RS: “By grace [“undeserved kindness,” NW] you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God—not because of works, lest any man should boast.” (The entire provision for salvation is an expression of God’s undeserved kindness. There is no way that a descendant of Adam can gain salvation on his own, no matter how noble his works are. Salvation is a gift from God given to those who put faith in the sin-atoning value of the sacrifice of his Son.)\n\nHeb. 5:9, RS: “He [Jesus] became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him.”  (Does this conflict with the statement that Christians are “saved through faith”? Not at all. Obedience simply demonstrates that their faith is genuine.)\n\nJas. 2:14, 26, RS: “What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead.” (A person does not earn salvation by his works. But anyone who has genuine faith will have works to go with it—works of obedience to the commands of God and Christ, works that demonstrate his faith and love. Without such works, his faith is dead.)\n\nActs 16:30, 31, RS: “‘Men, what must I do to be saved?’ And they [Paul and Silas] said, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.’” (If that man and his household truly believed, would they not act in harmony with their belief? Certainly.)\n\nAre there scriptures that definitely show that some will never be saved?\n\n2 Thess. 1:9, RS: “They shall suffer the punishment of eternal destruction and exclusion from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.” \nMatt. 7:13, 14, RS: “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”

I believe you can, and this is one scripture that points to it.  \n\nSome will say that Ananias and Sephira weren't "really saved" if they fell away, but I find that theology terrifying.  If the only way you know if you are saved or not is by sinning and being struck dead, that makes assurance hard to come by, doesn't it?\n\nFor if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The LORD will judge His people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.\nHebrews 10:26-31

Salvation for the Old Testament believers was the same as it is today for the New Testament believers.\nBy grace through faith in the coming Messiah (OT), and by grace through faith in the Messiah who came, and will return (NT).

" I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life; no man can come to the Father except through me". -- Jesus Christ\n\n" Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved". (Acts 4:12)

The context in Luke is putting anything above God in your life. If you do that you are not worthy of Him. You have to hate everything in your life compared to Him. That's what it is saying. It has no connection with the Law in Exodus....   Jim

To me, it would appear that they read Matthew 5:17 and stop at the first 2 words: "Think not".\n\nThey have that down to a science, they just don't think.\n\nIn context Matthew 5:17-20 says:\n"Think not that I am come to destroy the Torah, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.  For truely I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, not one iota (or Yud in the Hebrew Alephbet) or one tittle (the "crowns" or Taggin) shall in any way pass from the Torah, till all be fulfilled.  Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.  For I say unto you, That unless your righteousness shall exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."\n\nThe Christians are supposed to be following Torah even more righteously than the rabbis of the time! Of course, Talmud doesn't think much of that generation of rabbis, saying it was their "baseless hatred" that caused the Temple to be destroyed.\n\nPerhaps Christians get around this by saying that Heaven and Earth have passed away?  As far as I can tell they are still here.  Perhaps it is that old "think not" thought process of theirs.  I suspect that a better translation would be "even if heaven and earth pass...." since Torah is eternal in nature.\n\nThey don't realize that for one to violate a command of Torah it is as though he had destroyed it.  Likewise, they don't understand the concept of what the word "fulfilled" means.  I try to tell them that when I pull up to a full and complete stop at a stop sign, I have fulfilled the law concerning stop signs.  But the fact that I have fulfilled the law doesn't mean that everyone else is now free to run the stop sign.  (If they were consistant in their reading of this passage that is exactly how they would have to apply the words.)\n\nThe passage isn't saying that he came to do away with Torah or anything.  It isn't saying he was going to violate the requirements of Torah in anyway.  He was going to keep every command of Torah that applied to him and he wanted his followers to do the same.\n\nSo they should be out teaching each other to keep even the smallest of the commandments.  Why aren't they doing this?  Because they "think not".

God will rapture only those who are saved (they are the ones Sealed with the Holy Spirit). Once the Tribulation begins all who have heard the gospel will be decieved and when the beast comes and requires a mark (a seal) they will belong to him and never be able to be saved from God's Wrath and Punishment of eternity in the Lake of Fire. \n\nThose who are born again will be raptured before the tribulation begins. Think about the shadows of historical stories in scripture: Noah was saved from the Judgment of the Flood. \n\nCheck out Premillinial books and see that they are accurate with what scripture teaches. \n\nThe Judgments on the earth during the tribulation (see Revelation) will happen during all 7 years of tribulation. If we are saved and forgiven from our sins (born again in Christ) he would not leave us here to be among those judged. The first 3 years are false peace and there are things going on that are coming down from a Just God bringing Wrath. \n\nAmazing how our church has been studying Revelation for 18 weeks now and we covered that stuff a few weeks ago. We are on the 7th and final trumpet before Christ's return with the Redeemed of the Ages and the Angels to reign in the Millenial Kingdom.\n\nHope my info helps you.

Grace(not law) unto you, and peace(not division),\nfrom God our Fathe and the Lord Jesus Christ.\n\nThe law is not of faith: Gal 3:12\n\nRe: children, the exhortation is:\n"Forbid(law) them not"\n(Mt 19; Mk 10; Lk 18)\n\nFor law is spiritual, but it's spiritual abuse.\nAnd the law is good, but it is also evil.\nDiscern(avoid) both good and evil.\n\nLaw worketh wrath: Rom 4:15\nWe are delivered from the law: Rom 7:6\nWe are to put away wrath(law): Eph 4:31\nGod hath not appt'd us unto wrath(law): 1Thes 5:9\n\nThe "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Good question!\n\nWhich brings us to the fact that Jesus was a man spreading the Word of God and not being penalized for everyone elses mistakes. They will be held accountable. We are responsable for our own actions. Would that then mean that we can freely sin since we have been saved? i think not.\n\nWell done you for highlighting this!\n\nto the person who said Jesus went to hell for 3 days to get the souls of those who were wrongfully sent there, are you implying that God makes mistakes now??\n\nand i wish people would stop rhetorically quoting the bible as their answer without explanation, like they know what it means anyway, its just rhetoric.\n\nand for the record, if all sins have been cleansed through Jesus and his crucifiction, then will someone please tell me the point of judgement day??!!!

If you are saved we are SINNERS SAVED BY GRACE, so there is always forgiveness. Christ's blood covers all. Everyone has messed up. Ask forgiveness and it is yours.

God's Salvation is His free gift to everyone who will accept it because no mere human can keep God's Law perfectly. Grace does not supersede the Law. The Law (the Torah) tells faithful believers how God wants His people to live a holy (i.e. 'set apart' from worldliness) lifestyle. Those who seek to do his will "on earth as it is in heaven," don't have to be perfect as Yeshau (which means "God's Salvation") the Messiah - they will be imputed with His Righteousness, made Perfect, before entering the Perfection of Paradise. Embrace the Law of God! And be saved by His Grace!

OK which chapter of John verse 16?\nJohn 1:16 For all of his fullness we have all received , and grace upon grace.\nJohn 2:16 And to those who were selling the doves He said, Take these things away from here; do not make "My Fathers house a house of merchandise"\nJohn 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone who believes into Him would not perish, but would have eternal life.\nJohn 4:16 He said to her, You have well said, I do not have a husband\nJohn 5:16 And because of this the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill Him, because he did these things on the  Sabbath.\nAnd the list goes on. I assume that you mean John 3:16. Yes, it should be a part of our daily lives to keep this in mind.  God bless
