Once God makes Himself known to you, what you do next is your decision. Your reaction reflects what you believe about Him. The rich, young ruler lived a moral life. He was well versed in Scripture and the laws of God. But his response to Jesus' invitation clearly showed that, although he possessed a head knowledge of the teachings of God, he did not know God in an experiential way that could be demonstrated by a response of faith (Matt. 19:16-22). Whenever the Lord speaks to you, it will require an adjustment in your life. This truth can dramatically affect your prayer life. Every time you pray you must be aware that if God answers your prayer and reveals His will to you, it will immediately require you to reorient your life. Each time you read your Bible, you must to be prepared to obey what God tells you. Why did God use Peter and James and John so significantly to turn their world upside down? And why were others, like the rich, young ruler, never heard from again? Choices! The disciples chose to believe, and their belief was proven by their obedience. The rich, young ruler could not bring himself to obey, and Scripture tells us that he "went away sorrowful." You are faced with the same question as the rich, young ruler. What adjustments are you willing to make in order to respond positively to Christ? In His Love, Suzanne If someone does not 'experience' life daily by faith with God, they are not walking in faith in Jesus. Every aspect of life, every detail, every duty, every action, every thought, is to be set apart to God by faith in Jesus, nothing missing, nothing lacking, nothing left out.

What most don't realize is that the HOLYGHOST can be quenched . Most have no idea of what being born from above or born again really is. its not a phrase, its not a learned doctrine. ITS NEW BIRTH its the experience only GOD can give one by faith in the Son. HE draws us to the Son , this whole event is not man invented , ITS GOD HE comes within , HIS SPIRIT brings life from the dead. THIS I never experienced ever. TILL MAY thiritieth of two thousand and six. I remember the few times I had even been in a church, on one meeting the preacher asked some IF they were born again. HE said YOU WOULD KNOW IF YOU WERE> I had no idea what he meant . NOW I DO. Its not something man can give ...................IT COMES FROM GOD ALONE . this is the experiencing GOD verses head knowledge about GOD. major difference. big time major difference. Many have knowledge about GOD, sadly a lot of its false but they have NO TRUE BIRTH . till they do , they doomed. And if they accept not the gospel preached.............truly it is because their is NO TRUTH In them. I do believe that millions upon millions have had the chance and have rejected , or have come and tasted and then fell away. TWO Things most do not know ...................While I do preach ALL IS BY GRACE alone we are saved..........we have to preach the correct grace and we have to CONTINUE IN THE ONE WHO SAVED US to the end............or we fall too. so many doctrienes OSAS, you name it are killing the people . But I have learned something . MEN will sit under what THEIR HEART DESIRES. and if its darkness.........then in darkness they remain . THAT is the only condemnation . THAT LIGHT has indeed come into the world.........but many CHOOOOOOOOOOOOSE the darkness over the light . for they love the evil more . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul said if we believed his Gospel in 1 cor 15 we would be saved.Jesus revealed this to Paul . Why would anybody NOT be a OSAS Believer, unless Jesus lied to Paul and ,in turn , Paul lied to us.

Why would anybody NOT be a OSAS Believer.... You have to ignore God's Word and to believe several false teachings to continue to believe the false teachings. Once the Father in heaven reveals /gives / the understanding of Salvation/ Scripture, the reason for perfect Justice and Righteousness and Judgment is Perfect and Clear. Problem is , false teachings require people to ignore God's Word and Truth, < shrugs > , and they LIVE LIKE they LIKE ignoring God's Word , ignoring God's Justice, and since they are in error, in false teachings, they cannot come to grips with the Truth, not even from God, so they deny the Truth and believe the false teachings (not just this one only, but several others that go along with it in people who are deceived all their lives ) ......

If you ever reach maturity in your Christian walk , you will understand that. I hope newbies to the Faith will understand it’s the Spirit of the Law and not the Letter of the Law that God is concerned with.Try to learn from the mistakes of the Pharisees instead of blindly joining them in a ditch.
