What if you have not been born again? Only those born anew of the Holy Spirit of God will spend eternity with Him.

"Some 4,500 came to the front of the stage to give their lives to Jesus during the event."...no one gives their life to Jesus, they can't because they are dead in trespasses and sins. The LORD Jesus Christ is the One who gives His life...

Allow me to state a few facts: 1. The LORD Jesus Christ is omnipotent. 2. Yahweh is omniscient. 3. I AM does care. 4. God is self existent, you and me and the rest aint. Simple really...

A Christian is one who has been "born again, born anew, born from above, regenerated" by the Holy Spirit of God alone. There are no others. If anyone be in Christ they are a new creation, the old has gone the new has come. Many call themselves "a Christian" who aren't. Won't they be in for a horrifying shock on judgment day including many of those who promote the wicked sin of homosexuality...true...more

I think there are certain humorous events in the New Testament, look at John 9:1-34 for one instance regarding the blind guy who was healed and the grilling he got about it.

"I don't hate Christians at all. I used to be one." SBellam, if you were a Christian you are still a Christian. But you were never a Christian in the first place eh? You are still dead in your trespasses and sins aren't you. You hate God, the LORD Jesus Christ still don't you? You hate Christians still don't you?

“The gospel presentation that doesn't do that isn't a faithful gospel presentation. And then to tell somebody, "Welcome to the family," as if you knew. This is fantasy.

“The gospel presentation that doesn't do that isn't a faithful gospel presentation. And then to tell somebody, "Welcome to the family," as if you knew. This is fantasy. The stronger the gospel message, listen, the harder the gospel message, the more demanding...the more law is incorporated into it, the more guilt is produced by it. The more the sinner trembles, the more conviction, the more fear, the greater the understanding of hell and judgment, the less likely it is to generate a false response. The Jews knew enough about God and they walked away. We want to make sure that when people, if they will walk away, they're walking away from the knowledge of the truth, not some superficial non-saving message that doesn't even mention the resurrection without which you couldn't be saved, because you can't be saved if you don't confess Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God...what?...raised Him from the dead.”

LORD Jesus Christ, please, please, please keep the awful terribly deceptive false gospel of Rick Warren’s Scripture twisted Purpose Driven™ Movement OUT of Japan, please, amen...Rick Warren will only use this to expand his Purpose Driven® Kingdom and boast in it like he always does with everything he does, he lets the whole world know all his good deeds but he has never repented once for his Scripture twisting...

This is what John MacArthur has to say about the Purpose Driven™ Life book and I absolutely agree with him:

“In the most popular Christian book, The Purpose Driven Life, you will look long and hard in this book on the purpose driven life to find the gospel. Now I don't know how you could ever live a purpose driven life if you didn't know how to get into the Kingdom of God, or how to be saved. And as I went through the book, this is the gospel presentation, the only one that I found. "First believe, believe God loves you and made you for His purposes. Believe God has chosen you to have a relationship with Jesus who died on the cross for you. Believe that no matter what you've done, God wants to forgive you. Second, receive Jesus into your life as your Lord and Savior. Receive His forgiveness for your sins." Is there anything missing there? What might be missing there? Repentance. "So I invite you to bow your head and quietly whisper the prayer that will change your eternity. Jesus, I believe in You and I receive You." What Jesus? Who did what? Where's the resurrection? It goes on. "If you sincerely meant that prayer, congratulations, welcome to the family of God." How does he know who's in the family of God? No repentance, no judgment, no hell, no heaven, no self-denial, no discussion of sin, no laying down of the Law of God against which the sinner is broken, no sense of guilt, no sense of condemnation, no fear of eternal torment. That is an inadequate gospel. That is a gospel that I will tell you will contribute to apostasy. It will contribute to defection because people are going to come to that which they think is the saving message and when it doesn't do anything, they're gone. A shallow gospel presentation that doesn't present the reality of eternal judgment, the reality of the Law of God, the reality of condemnation, eternal hell, does not warn of God's wrath, that does not crush the sinner under the weight of his violation of the Law of God, that does not make him stand before God guilty." continued next postless

To die in your sins...

Oh, better were it for you to die in a jail, in
a ditch, in a dungeon, than to die in your sins.

If death, as it will take away all your comforts,
would take away all your sins too, it were some mitigation;
but your sins will follow you when your friends leave you,
and all your worldly enjoyments shake hands with you.
Your sins will not die with you as a prisoner's other debts will;
but they will get to judgment with you there to be your accusers;
and they will go to hell with you there to be your tormentors.

"What is the preacher to do with hell and eternal punishment? In our day and age these truths strike some as comical and others as cruel. To some, hell is a joke. It's about little devils in red tights (so teach the cartoonists). It's a place where illicit pleasures are indulged (if we believe the entertainment media, not to mention the porn industry). It conjures up images of old-fashioned, red-faced TV preachers (before they figured out that only "nice" plays on the tube) preaching the disdained "hellfire and brimstone" sermon. On the other hand, in more thoughtful settings - major universities, mainline seminaries, serious print media - the mere admission of one's belief in such a destination for the unredeemed evokes sheer horror from the enlightened. How could you possibly believe something so primitive, so backwards, so mean, so exclusive, so intolerant? A rampant relativism and universalism makes hell the only heresy."less
