Once saved always saved?

Here's a couple of links that give scriptural references.

on judgement

on rewards

Which people do those things and yet do not believe in Jesus?

They're all around us.

They think that, because they belong to a church and have done certain things or attend church every Sunday, etc., that they have it made.

Sadly, they never accepted Him. They think he's contained in a building at the corner of 1st and Main and a man in a suit or a robe gets up and says a few words and that's all there is to faith.

Faith in Christ, real saving faith, is more so much more than completing a to-do list like you presented. Because if done in the wrong spirit, or with the wrong motive, it's all empty works that Isaiah calls "filthy rags".

You must be a member in God's true church. Acts 2:47.

The only Church that meets all the requirements of Salvation is the Holy Catholic Church.

I take special exception to what you've said here, as I find it to be untruth.

The "one true church" can be more readily defined as the Body of Christ, true born-again believers in Jesus Christ. Anyone can join a church denomination and yet not be born-again and may in fact never see heaven. Joining a church makes you no more a Christian than going to McDonalds makes you a cheeseburger.

In terms of catholic = universal, yeah I could say this is true, because it then unites all true believers across all denominations. But catholic = Roman Catholic Church as the only way to salvation.... EERRRR...wrong.

To everyone,

Hey, hey ,hey, don't get mad at me I didn't make the rules, I just play by them. If you want to get mad go get mad at God. He wrote those words in the bible not me. Now read his bible all of it and live it.

Romans 10:9

I agree with.

What about the other scriptures should we not also agree with them. We can not just look at the scripture that agrees with us. We must look at all of it.

If you percieve the statements I've made as anger you've obviously missed the simple truth and the point of them. The point is pretty clear for those who are willing to understand it.

Sorry.

you do realize there are two separate judgements....

one for those that believe and accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, whos names are written in the book of life, where they receive their rewards they have saved up in heaven......

one for those that did not accept Jesus as their Lord, no matter what their works were, their reward is eternal death...... they will be cast out......

go ahead, read about it, in the Bible......

The Church is not a building, it's a mystical body and Christ is the Head of it.
