The heart of the sinner and the Saint.

I do not believe there is such a thing as false conversions.
LOL
You have got to be kidding.
I showed you true friendship and you treat me like I am the devil, too.

I do not believe the Father would bother to draw them unto the Son to believe in Him to be saved if they were just doing an "appeasing the public gathering for the moment{ kind of thing.

The problem rests on discipleship which is to follow salvation.

Many evangelicals will preach the gospel message but they nor the church where they hold the event, do not do the follow up necessary which is teaching His commandments so that newly saved believers can live that life of repentance by looking to the author & finisher of our faith to help them lay aside every weight & sin in living that newly reconciled relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ of walking in the light in fellowship with the Father & the Son.

Even a simple, "read His words in the N.T. and trust Him to help you understand His words and to help you to do His commandments. By trusting Him to help you to abide in His words in following Him as His disciples is key to having a fruitful life with Him, because Jesus Christ is now in you & with you always as your Good Shepherd & Friend so that you are never alone," is the best way for new believers to recognize the changed reality they are now having as a saved believer.

We should never mix discipleship with salvation because many sinners have tried to change their sinful habits and cannot see it in themselves to even do it before coming to Jesus Christ for salvation and so this is why He is known also as the Deliverer to turn His people from their sins so they will no longer live in them, and not just have eternal life by believing in Him.

There is NO SUCH THING as salvation and a different thing called discipleship.
 
Well, according to what was shared, I believe the woman was saved but not discipled in realizing the new reality of having been reconciled to God the Father thru Jesus Christ in how we are to live that new life with God through Jesus Christ.

It would be akin to Jesus having laid the foundation in her at salvation but all the she did after salvation was built wood, stubble, and hay. She would have been still saved but denied by Him for being in iniquity still when the Bridegroom comes. Fortunately, from what I have read, the Lord has led her now to a life of repentance in living that reconciled relationship with the Father as a daughter of God.

Thanks for sharing.
You both are preaching falseness.

Let's reason together according to the scriptures.

Don't be afraid, any of you.

Satan doesn't want you to know the truth.
 
@Lavenderfields and @GodB4Us

You both preach against obey Jesus to be saved!

We are not blessed if we don't do what Jesus says, we are not a disciple, a family member and friend if we don't do what Jesus says to do.

Jesus says to repent of our sins and believe in him that he forgives sins.

You two are preaching against Jesus.

You preach we are not to repent of our sins to be saved, and you both preach something weird and false about discipleship is different than being saved and a family member and friend!!!
 
Theres no point in discussing this any more. Over and over again people are mentioning repentance of their sins and obedience to God.
Yet you say they dont because many rightly say that "Only Jesus sets us free." Jesus is the Savior and Redeemer. We are not to ourselves, except to comply and respond to Him and that is God's Work not ours to be Saviour and Redeemer in harmony to our heart responses, in repentance and complience to Him.
I just think you are going to wind it around and around over and over again. Maybe you are overthinking.
I genuienly would like very much for you to be Blessed and joyful in your life and in relationship with God. Now please dont overthink that too. I would say that regardless. All the very very best to you @God's Truth
I cant agree with this aspect , although in other topics I liked your gems. Take Care and God Bless.:)

You are rude.

NOT to GET saved.
You hinder people from getting saved and even stop people from ever knowing the truth.
Yet you say they dont because many rightly say that "Only Jesus sets us free."
You aren't speaking the truth about me. Show where I ever said Jesus doesn't set us free.

You are steeped in falseness.
Jesus is the Savior and Redeemer. We are not to ourselves, except to comply and respond to Him and that is God's Work not ours to be Saviour and Redeemer in harmony to our heart responses, in repentance and complience to Him.
You go against me and say I say things that I don't while you promote what a teacher that tickled your ears says.
I just think you are going to wind it around and around over and over again. Maybe you are overthinking.
Again, you are a rude person who wants to speak all she wants and have others listen to her while she tells those who don't believe like her to just shut up and go away devil.
I genuienly would like very much for you to be Blessed and joyful in your life and in relationship with God. Now please dont overthink that too. I would say that regardless. All the very very best to you @God's Truth

Really? You liked something I said somewhere? You have treated me like a devil here that you needed armor against.
I prove everything I say with scripture and with great patience and reasoning.
 
We save ourselves by coming to Jesus to be saved.

You don't believe that?
No man can come to the Son unless the Father draws him per John 6:44 We cannot even believe in Him unless the Father reveals His Son to us so we can believe in Him to be saved. Matthew 11:25-27 That means our believing in Him is a work of the Father and so why are you dismissing His work for our believing in Him as something trivial or something just not so grand? John 3:18-21
Acts 2:40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”
These Jews realized, thanks to the Father, that they had crucified their Saviour in unbelief in Acts 2:36 for why they were pricked in their hearts in Acts 2:37. That is the repentance being called for here in how they believe in Him in order to receive the remission of sins and the gift of the Holy Ghost in Acts 2:38-39. This is the same call to repentance given to the Gentiles in Acts 2:43-44.

You have had that explained to you WITH SCRIPTURE more than once and you refuse the truth!!!

Jews were cut off and hardened so they could NOT understand and be save until Jesus died.

I told you to look at the very next scripture so you can see WHY THEY WERE DRAWN TO JESUS.

Your false teachers taught you wrong.

LOOK AT THE VERY NEXT SCRIPTURE 45!

They were told to save themselves!!! They have to obey Jesus and they were no longer hardened.

You can't see past your false teachers teachings!

YOU GO AGAINST WHAT IS WRITTEN.

I gave you many scriptures that say save yourselves but what do you do?!!! You keep saying no can't and won't it is a lie.

Until we examine how the gospel is preached, we cannot see how the sinners are responding, but even if they just believed in His name, they are saved according to this scripture below.

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

More often than not, they preach how Paul gives the gospel and it is just by believing in Him is how they are saved, but again, discipleship comes afterwards in how saved believers can trust Jesus to help them to repent of all sins daily to be fruitful as His disciples.

You guys are NOT going by the scriptures. You guys are going by false teachers.

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

That means it is NO LONGER about if a person wants to convert by doing the old purification works and getting circumcised and becoming a Jew by doing those works.

It is about no man marrying a woman and having her convert.

It is about GOD ACCEPTING THE PERSON.

God accepts those who do what Jesus says to do.

No such thing what you say! No such thing as being saved by believing only and then discipleship coming later.

WE ARE NOT BLESSED unless we obey.
We are NOT a disciple, a family member, and a friend UNLESS WE OBEY JESUS>

Luke 11:28 He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."

Matthew 12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."

John 15:14 You are my friends if you do what I command.

John 8:31 Then Jesus said to those Judeans who had believed him, "If you continue to follow my teaching, you are really my disciples

John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

How do they come unto Him? What is the Father's will in how we are saved and given eternal life? This was explained way before verse 45.


John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

You cannot explain away verse 40 above. So don't even try. Which is why you probably keep ignoring it in the plainness of speech in favor of another scripture thus not really addressing verse 40 at all.

Since it is on God to cause the increase, why not take a break and pray instead? I shall also.

You need to believe and obey Jesus. I have done that and have a powerful testimony. I am not telling you anything that I haven't done myself. I tell you, you have nothing to lose if you try what I say and repent for believing falseness. Satan will try to scare you off, as pride and offense might. I hope you consider what I am saying.
 
John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

How do they come unto Him?
They came to Jesus because they were already a child of the Father's, and they recognized what Jesus was saying as the words of God!
What is the Father's will in how we are saved and given eternal life? This was explained way before verse 45.

John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
That is Jesus explaining that there were Jews who belonged to God by faith BEFORE Jesus came to make the NEW COVENANT that would be based on faith.

NOT ALL Jews had faith, for the old testament WAS NOT BASED ON FAITH---it was based on people getting circumcised in the flesh and doing the other purification works.

Some Jews had faith and some did not.

The JEWS who did NOT have faith when Jesus came, GOD cut them off and hardened them so that they could NOT be saved WHILE JESUS WAS ON EARTH.

Jesus came first for those Jews who already had faith and belonged to God.

THEY WERE THE FATHER'S, and now they had to go through Jesus to remain God's.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
We have to believe that we have to go through the man JESUS TO OBEY HIM.

The Jews only new of their Father God and never heard of Jesus the son before.

HOWEVER, they recognized what Jesus said as speaking the word of God the Father AND THAT IS WHY THEY WERE DRAWN TO HIM.
You cannot explain away verse 40 above. So don't even try.
LOL SO SAD!
You are the one who tries to nullify scripture with scripture!

We have to believe that we have to obey Jesus.
Jesus tells us MANY TIMES TO OBEY him and WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.
YOU CANNOT nullify scripture with another scriptures.
You cannot nullify all the scriptures of Jesus telling us to obey him for the scriptures that say to believe him
We are to BELIEVE that we have to obey him.

If I tell you, GB4U, here are the instructions to get to my house.

I tell you believe those instructions.

It doesn't mean you don't have to actually get to my house by following those instructions!

It means you have to believe that those instructions are correct and that you have to do what those instructions say!
Which is why you probably keep ignoring it in the plainness of speech in favor of another scripture thus not really addressing verse 40 at all.
I am not ignoring anything! You are the one.
