Who will and will not be part of the First Resurrection?
Those that hve made themselves ready; Matthew 25:10 (KJV) And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. “see the 10 Virgins” How do you make yourself ready?
You must 1st. be born again.
John 3:3 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
How do you get born again?
Romans 10:9 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. After we have been born again and we fall into sin we can confess and repent of our sins . 1 John 1:9 (KJV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Because we have an advocate with the Father Christ Jesus! 1 John 2:1 (KJV) My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
It does not take anything else to be born again and there is no other way to Heaven except through Jesus. John 14:6 (KJV) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Man is of sinful nature and man cannot be good enough to make it to Heaven. Mans righteousness is as filthy rags.
Isaiah 64:6 (KJV) But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Mans righteousness without God is as Filthy rags.
Water baptism does not save your soul and water Baptism Did Not Remit Paul's Sin.
1. Acts 22:12-16 is not a detailed or consecutive account of all the facts, as in Acts 9:17-18, which states:
(1) Reception of sight (Acts 9:17-18)
(2) Filling of the Spirit (Acts 9:17)
(3) Arising from prayer (Acts 9:11,18)
(4) Baptism in water (Acts 9:18)
2. Paul's own testimony elsewhere proves he was saved by faith in the blood (Romans 3:24-25; Romans 5:1; Ephes. 1:7).
3. He was already saved, healed, and filled with the Spirit before he was told to "arise" (Acts 22:16 with Acts 9:17-18).
4. "Wash away thy sins" is clearly a ceremonial washing, as are all washings by man (Matthew 8:3-4 with Leviticus 14-15). The Greek: apolouo (NT:628) is used only twice: once here of ceremonial cleansing and once in 1 Cor. 6:11 where it is the same in meaning as the baptism "without hands" of Col. 2:11.
5. No scripture says that sins are washed away by baptism other than ceremonially. Cleansing is done:
(1) by God (Psalm 51:1-13; Titus 2:11-13)
(2) by Christ (Matthew 1:21; Rev. 1:5)
(3) by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:11)
(4) by grace through faith (Ephes. 2:8-9)
(5) by faith in the blood (Romans 3:24-25; Romans 5:9; Ephes. 1:7; 1 John 1:7; Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 9:22; 1 Peter 1:18-23; Rev. 1:5)
(6) by faith without works (Romans 2:24-31; Romans 4:1-25; Romans 5:1; Galatians 3:19-29)
(7) by confession of sins (1 John 1:9; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 2:38; Acts 3:19)
(8) by the Word of God (1 Peter 1:23; James 1:18; John 3:5; John 15:3; Ephes. 5:26)
6. Ananias, a Jew, was well acquainted with ceremonial cleansings. He knew that washing was outward and ceremonial and did not cleanse from:
(1) Leprosy (Leviticus 14:1-9; Leviticus 15:1-27)
(2) Guilt (Psalm 26:6; Psalm 73:13)
(3) Sins (Isaiah 1:16; Jeremiah 2:22)
(4) Wickedness (Jeremiah 4:14)
(5) Defilement (Mark 7:1-23)
Washings only typified cleansing by blood (Hebrews 9:7-15,21-26; Hebrews 10:1-23).
7. Many words describing redemption are found 3,322 times in Scripture and not once is water baptism required to make anyone phase effective.
8. Many convincing examples of remission of sins without and before water baptism are recorded in Scripture:
(1) Christ (Matthew 3:16; Luke 3:21)
(2) Old Testament saints (Hebrews 11:1-40; Luke 1:15,41,46,67; Luke 2:25-38)
(3) Palsied man (Matthew 9:1-7)
(4) The publican (Luke 18:9-14)
(5) Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10)
(6) Thief on the cross (Luke 23:43)
(7) The nobleman's house (John 4:53)
(8) The sinner woman (Luke 7:48)
(9) Many Jews (Matthew 9:22; Mark 5:34; Mark 10:52; Luke 17:19; Luke 18:42; John 7:31; John 8:30-31; John 11:45; John 12:11,42)
(10) The eunuch (Acts 8:37 with 1 John 5:1; Romans 10:9-10; Ephes. 2:8-9)
(11) The lame man (Acts 3:16; Acts 4:12)
(12) Paul (Acts 9:18-19)
(13) Cornelius and house (Acts 10:44-48; Acts 11:14-18; Acts 15:7-11)
(14) Multitudes both healed and saved (Acts 5:15-16; James 5:14-15; Matthew 13:15)
9. Both Peter and John state baptism to be a "figure" and "witness" of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 3:21; 1 John 5:6-10).
10. Peter plainly says it does not save to the point of putting away the filth of the flesh (1 Peter 3:21; Galatians 5:19-21).
11. Paul definitely says sins are put off by circumcision without hands (Col. 2:11-13). This is the baptism of Romans 6:1-8; 1 Cor. 12:13; Galatians 3:29; Ephes. 4:5; Col. 2:12.
12. Since water baptism is not the real, literal, physical death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, then it has to be figurative of it (1 Peter 3:21; 1 John 5:6-10).
13. Washing of sins by baptism is ceremonial and symbolic, like the ceremony of the leper after he was cleansed (Matthew 8:3-4 with Leviticus 14:1-9; Leviticus 15:1-27) and like the garments washed in the blood (Rev. 7:13-14).
14. Paul did not teach baptismal regeneration (1 Cor. 1:13-24; 1 Cor. 15:1-5; Romans 1:16; Romans 10:9-10; Ephes. 2:8-9).
15. Jesus did not teach baptism as a means of salvation. He forgave multitudes without it (see point 8, above). Not one time did He baptize anyone (John 4:2). He once mentioned faith and then baptism (Mark 16:16).
16. Texts used to teach remission of sins by baptism (Matthew 3:6-8,11; Mark 1:4-5; Luke 3:3,8-16; Acts 2:38; Mark 16:16) do not say sins are remitted by it, but "for" or because of repentance ( Matthew 3:16). Repentance and faith always precede baptism in these passages. See Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38,41; Acts 8:12,37; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 18:8; Acts 19:4.
This is what saves (Acts 2:21; Romans 10:9-10; 1 John 1:9; Luke 13:3). Then one is ready for baptism, as Paul was after he was saved, healed, and filled with the Spirit (Acts 9:17-18).
Those who keep Gods commandments will inherit the promise of eternal life.
We read in Psalms 111:7 that Gods commandments and Covenant is Forever
ad;:- eternity, ever (-lasting, -more),
We have to keep the commandments of God. They are over 1,000 New and Old Testament commandments!
Psalm 111:7-10 (KJV)
The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. 8They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. 9He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. 10The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
John 8:31-32 (KJV)
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
If we keep Gods commandments then we are his disciples and then we will know the truth and the truth will set us free. If someone is teaching you that you don’t have to keep Gods commandments to make it to Heaven then they aren’t obeying the commandments of God. They cannot receive the truth from God and if the blind lead the blind they will both fall in the ditch. A disciple is a born again believer in Yahshua “Christ” and the only way to be his disciple is to obey his words.
John 14:23-24 (KJV)
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
The only ones that can hear and understand Gods words are those that obey.
24He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. The only way to Heaven is by Love and if you don’t obey Gods word you are breaking his greatest commandment.
Deut. 6:5 (KJV) And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Mark 12:30 (KJV) And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
What will happen to someone who doesn’t obey Gods word?
John 15:6 (KJV) If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
This is just telling us that if we do not obey Gods word then we will be cast into the lake of fire. God has a highway and a way to Heaven. Isaiah 35:8 (KJV) And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. The only way to Heaven is to be Holy or righteous.
Nothing unclean shall enter into Heaven. Hebrews 12:14 (KJV) Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Without holiness we will not make it to Heaven.
1 Peter 4:18 (KJV) And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? The righteous will scarcely make it to Heaven.In this verse we have 3 of the 4 clases of people. 1. Righteous – those that will make Heaven their home. 2. Sinner- Those who have never known the Lord. 3. Ungodly-These are those who were once Godly but fell back on the Lord; The only way you can become ungodly is to be Godly first. 4. luke warm. Rev. 3:15-16 (KJV) I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Luke warm are those who will not put on the Armour of God and fight in Gods army. These are lazy and cowards these are the fearful in Rev. 21:8 (KJV) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. No one that commits any of these sins or any other sins without repenting and turning from them will inherit the kingdom of Heaven and they will all be cast into the lake of fire.
Our sins separate us from God Isaiah 59:1-2 (KJV) Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. If we have sin in our lives and haven’t repented of them then God will not hear us or recognize us before the father.
The Word of God tells us we have to be spotless “ our wedding garment” to make Heaven our home. 2 Peter 3:14 (KJV) Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. Ephes. 5:27 (KJV) That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. The Word tells us about some ungodly men that have lost the water/spirit of God and have come into the midst of true believers that have been living in charity which is love.Jude 1:12 (KJV) These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
To have withered and become twice dead you would have to have been 1st. dead as a sinner 2nd. alive as a born again believer and 3rd. dead as a backslider.
There is another death which means to crucify ones flesh; that we must do. 2 Tim. 2:11-15 (KJV) It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: If we disobey his commandments he will deny us. Matthew 7:22 (KJV) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Many will say Lord im a Christian I was born again at so and so time and preached your word and worked under the anointing and cast out devils . Matthew 7:23 (KJV) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Because their sin had separated them from God Isa. 59:2 .and their righteousness shall not be remembered Ezekiel 3:20 (KJV) Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
The word of God says in Hebrews 13:5 (KJV) Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. This is the most misinterpreted scripture in the whole bible.God says for he hath said.If he has said then where has he said he will never leave us nor forsake us? We will find it in Deut. 31:6 (KJV) Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
fail. raw-faw'; leave, let alone;.If we read this chapter God is speaking to Israel about going forth to take the promised land. That he will go before them and fight the battles for them and with them.God is only saying that he will always be their with us to fight the battles for and with us that he will not abandon us to fight satan alone .This scripture has nothing to do with Eternal Life but only that he will be with us even til the end of the world.
2Tim.2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. God will not deny or change his word for us we have to abide by his word or God will cast us into the lake of fire. 14Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 15Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. God is telling us to study the word and rightly divide it. God tells us in 2 Tim. 3:1-7 (KJV) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. Men will deny the power of the Holy Ghost/Spirit. Many so called Christians deny the power of the Holy Ghost just because they are unlearned about the word.
The word of God tells us how long that the gifts of the Holy Ghost and the five fold ministry will be here on the earth. Ephes. 4:11-13 (KJV) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man,
unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: They will be here until God sets up the New Heaven and New Earth that will be when we all come into perfect unity.
2Tim.2:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. These that teach such doctrines of devils are ever learning but are never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Because they deny and or blaspheme the Holy Ghost which is the only unpardonable sin. Matthew 12:31-32 (KJV) Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 32And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
1 Tim. 4:1-2 (KJV) Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; How can you depart from the faith without once being part of the faith. 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
We are told to hold firm unto the end in Hebrews 3:6-19 (KJV)
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. We have to hold onto the word until the end. 7Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, 8Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. 10Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. 11So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) 12Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. God is giving us a warning not to fall into unbelief in his word and disobey his commandments. 13But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. Today if you will repent of your sins and turn from them then God will hear you and save you from a lake of fire. 16For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 17But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? 18And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? 19So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. Here God is giving us an example not to follow in their paths and backslide on the Lord. Hebrews 4:1-11 (KJV)
Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. Don’t come up short!
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: 7Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. 8For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 9There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. We have to labour to enter into his rest don’t fall into the same example of unbelief or sin.
We are told in The Word of God that we have to endure unto the end to be saved in
Matthew 24:13 (KJV) But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. We cant just endure at the beginning when we repent we have to repent daily and crucify our flesh daily. 1 Cor. 15:31 (KJV) I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
We are told that we have to over come in many scriptures.
Rev. 2:7 (KJV) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
We have eighteen Blessings only to the Overcomer

18. Eternal throne and kingdom (Rev. 3:21; Rev. 1:6; Rev. 5:10; Rev. 11:15; Rev. 22:4-5
We are told that judgment begins with the born again believers first in
1 Peter 4:17 (KJV) For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? What shall the end be with any person that don’t obey the Word of God. We are told in the Word of God in 1 John 2:4 (KJV) He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Anyone that does not keep Gods Word and claims to be born again is a liar and all liars are going to be cast into the lake of fire Rev.21:8.
God tells us in 2Peter 2:1-22 (KJV) But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. These false prophets and false teachers will tell you once your are saved you can never loose it. They will be denying the blood that bought them by saying that sin cannot take you to hell after you have been saved. 2And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall beevil spoken of. The truth that you have to obey Gods commandments to make it to Heaven.
2Pet.2: 3And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise
of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation
slumbereth not. In order to get money to spend upon their own lusts, they fabricate counterfeit doctrines, false theories to deceive. They preach the smooth things to appease the church. [long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not] God predicted their punishment long ago and their damnation is sure.4For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 7And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) In verses 4- 8 God is giving us an example that he will not spare us if we fall into sin as well. 9The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: God knows how to deliver the godly! Those who obey his Word he will give them the strength to overcome sin and turn from it and those who don’t overcome sin the unjust will be cast into the lake of fire. 10But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 13And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the daytime. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; Verses 10-14 are speaking of the ones that will not turn from their sin but come against the ones that are living by the Word and say that I have need of nothing I was saved at so and so time. 14Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: These are cursed children they once obeyed God but were drawn back into sin and will not give it up. 15Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
These have forsaken the way they once was on the right path.16But was rebuked for his
iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. 17These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. These so called Christians have a well but it has went dry and have not the spirit “water” anymore. These will be cast into the lake of fire.18For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.Those who obey Gods commandments will separate themselves from teachers with damadble doctrines of devils and escape spiritual death. 2Pet.2:19While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. While they promise them once saved unconditionaly always saved they themselves are brought into bondage and will be cast into the lake of fire. 20For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For after they were born again they fell back into sin and the punishment in the lake of fire will be worse on them than a sinner. 21For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. It would have been better for them not to have even been born again. 22But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. This means that after they had been born again they went back to the sin that they were committing when they were sinners and maybe even worse. The Word of God tells us in 1 Jn 3:7-9 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. We are not to be deceived by man about our eternal security. 8He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever committeth sin is of the Devil or the Devil is their father. 9Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Whoever is of God and strives to endure until the end, will turn from sin and obey his commandments. The Word tells us in Jn 8:34-35 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. Everyone that is a servent to sin will not abide in Heaven forever. The son will abide because he will obey his father which is God not the devil. 2 John 1:9 (KJV) Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If we do not obey Gods word we will not be part of the first resurrection because he will not recognize us as his. What will happen to the soul if we sin?
Eze. 18:20-24 (The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 21But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22All his transgressions that he hath committed,
they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 23Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? 24But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.This is the same as twice dead and plucked up by the roots Jude 1:12Jesus says in Mark 3:33 (KJV) And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? Then He answers in Mark 3:35 (KJV) For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. So only those who obeys Gods commandments are brothers ,sisters and mothers in the Lord.
Is their any such thing as once saved always saved?
Yes if you live it and obey Gods commandments
