How to know that you are really saved(born again)!

GISMYS · Post by **GISMYS** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 10:28 am

How can we know we are really saved? Because Godâ€™s Word tells us, and God cannot lie. If you have put your personal faith and trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, the Bible says God has made you a member of His family. â€˜God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life â€¦ These things I have written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal lifeâ€™ (1 John 5:11-13). â€˜God said itâ€”I believe itâ€”that settles it!â€™ Romans 10:9-13==if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, â€œWhoever believes in Him will not be [h]disappointed.â€� 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; 13 for â€œWhoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.â€�

Those that end up in hell do so because they chose to live in sin and rejected God's love and forgivness then the typical sinner wants to turn and blame God!!! Dream on.

Time is very short! I expect Jesus to return before the end of 2016, Jesus says we cannot know the hour or day of His return but we believers are to know when He is at the door ready to return and that time is here now! are you ready or will you be left behind? your choice!

You're only off by nearly 2000 years. Jesus supposedly said he was coming back before some he was talking to had died. See Mark 13, Luke 21, and Matthew 24. He either already came back or he ain't coming.

Read in contex! Jesus said the generation that sees the signs He had just named would not die before He returns and that generation is "US"! PTL.

No, I escaped the dream world about 8 years ago when I realized I no longer believed anymore. I no longer live in that Christian delusion.

Every Christian for the last 2000 years has believed they were living in the end times and Jesus was returning soon. Even Paul did. They have all been wrong.

When 2017 comes, I expect you to return here and apologize to us for crying wolf.

Sorry, but to me any ideas about Jesus returning is sheer fantasy. That promise to return is way past its use by date. When 2016 has come and gone you will realize how wrong your prediction was.

Anyway. back to reality...

It's you that's not reading in context. You're trying to twist words to make them mean something different. Jesus was speaking to the people themselves and talking about their life times not some future person or generation's life time. Even Paul took at as the current generation. He was adamant that Jesus was returning in his life time. He even believed the end times had come and stated that the gospel had been preached to every living creature under the sun - the final act before Christ's return.

Even Paul was wrong.

Sorry, GISMYS, but Jesus ain't coming back. If he did it was in the first century.

No. That generation is the generation he was talking to. That is why he said "this generation." It is even more clear when you read it in context.

This is fantastic! It's finally something tangible in this gobbledygook you've been forcefeeding this thread. You're making a PREDICTION. Something we can verify and use to chart the truthfulness of your claims.

You say you "expect Jesus to return before the end of 2016," well, I contest this claim! When 2017 rolls around and nothing notable happens, will you accept the failure of your claim and use that to alter your perceptions, or at least avoid making erroneous claims you can't back up? Or will you go on shooting off this kind of talk as if nothing happened at all?

The Harold Campings of our age are just like the Harold Campings of any age. Your claims are the same as the claims of millions of dead humans saying "Jesus will come back in my lifetime."

Currently, we're tallying off how many times they were right. 0 so far, but if you think you've got a shot at getting a point in your favor, be my guest!

This is my opinion from reading Bible prophecy=I expect Jesus to return before the end of 2016 and by seeing myself bible prophecy coming true almost each day the last few years! are you ready?
