While there is a change in the new birth, and while believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit (Which is the down payment of their inheritance), that does not mean they cannot lose their inheritance. We see how Paul warns believers how they will not inherit the kingdom of God if they partake in certain sins (Galatians 5:19-21). Believers must choose each day every day to serve the Lord. While the Lord can be persuasive, God does not force us against our will to be good. 2 Corinthians 7:1 says let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit perfecting holiness in the fear of God. So it is not automatic thing. We have strive to enter the straight gate. We must work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Salvation is conditional, and believers must confess and forsake sin in order to have mercy (Proverbs 28:13). Many today think your future sin is forgiven you because of a belief alone on Jesus as your Savior, and this is false.

Well said. I believe there are two aspects of salvation we need to be concerned with. I believe we are initially saved by God’s grace without works through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). Then, we continue in the faith or God’s plan of salvation in the secondary aspect of salvation (Which is the Sanctification of the Spirit to live a holy life) (2 Thessalonians 2:13). Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). This would include me and every other person on the planet.

While I do not dispute that God lives in us (John 14:23) and that He does the good work through us (Philippians 2:13). He also does not force us to do good against our free will. As for your statement that says, “It isn't thou shall not”: This is contrary to what our Lord Jesus said. Please see the words of Jesus that are bolded below. Matthew 19 16“And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” In Romans 13:8-10, Paul says you fulfill these laws by loving your neighbor. So they are still in effect. Revelation 22:14-15 says, [14] “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. [15] For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.” Also see Revelation 21:8.

Jesus said, "If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15). Was the Lord teaching legalism? What about Luke 10:25-28? Jesus agreed with the lawyer that to love God and to love your neighbor is a part of inheriting eternal life (See Luke 10:25-28). Jesus did not correct the lawyer and say, "Wrong lawyer! Just believe in my finished work at the cross!" Nowhere does Jesus say such a thing to the lawyer. He told the lawyer that he was correct and that by doing this (loving God and loving your neighbor), you will live.

Note: The brother of Rich Christiano (Dave Christiano) also makes Christian films, but his movies are not as well-produced. After Time Changer: There are also two Rich Christiano films that I did not care for by Rich, either. But Rich did two other Christian movies I will mention later that I truly enjoyed. In other words, I think three Rich Christiano films were good, and one falls into the category of "honorable mention."

My Favorite Christian Films (Part 2): #2. Polycarp Christian Movie Trailer This film is also very excellent. The performance of the lead role is really exceptional. Polycarp is also very emotional, and it will make you appreciate what it may have been like to be an early Christian. I also cannot recommend this film enough (if you have not seen it). Note: This film was almost in my #1 spot. It was really a tough call. I really love this film a lot, and I can watch it multiple times without getting tired of it. It is also available to watch on ChristianMovies YouTube Channel for free. Although Rich Christiano did not produce this movie, he does make available the film on DVD for sale on his website.

Yes, it is well-produced. It is hard for me to watch Christian films that are not. Time Changer will make you laugh, and it has some great Christian messages. Very family-friendly, as well. Two Christian families I know said their kids loved it, and the parents (of course) did too. I like a bit of Sci-fi, so this film fits the bill in being in my #1 spot for favorite Christian movies. I highly recommend it! I talked with the director on the phone while promoting two of his other Christian movies. He is very nice.

My Favorite Christian Films (Part 1): #1. Time Changer (Christian Movie Trailer) This movie is available to watch free at the director’s YouTube Channel titled “Christian Movies.” The director’s name is Rich Christiano. You may have heard of him before (if you are into Christian films).
