COMMON MISTAKES

OVERCOME MEANS TO BELIEVE IN JESUS NOT TO DO WORKS

Revelation 21:7
 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Sounds like you have to do good deeds, right? WRONG!

 1 John 5:5
 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD.

 1 John 5:4
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that OVERCOMETH, EVEN OUR FAITH.


A CANDLESTICK IS A CHURCH NOT SALVATION. JESUS THREATENS THEM WITH REMOVAL OF THEIR CHURCH NOT THEIR SALVATION.


 Revelation 2:5
Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

What is a candlestick?

Revelation 1:20
The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: AND THE SEVEN CANDLESTICKS WHICH THOU SAWEST ARE THE SEVEN CHURCHES.

JUDAS WAS NEVER SAVED BECAUSE HE WAS NEVER A BELIEVER


John 6:64
 But there are some of you that BELIEVE NOT. For Jesus KNEW FROM THE BEGINNING who they were that BELIEVED NOT, and who should BETRAY HIM.


DENY DOES NOT MEAN REJECT


Matthew 10:33
But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Remember this?

Matthew 26:34
Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt DENY ME thrice.

Is Peter in hell? Of course not my good friend!

2 Timothy 2:13
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: HE CAN NOT DENY HIMSELF.


EVERYONE STARTS OF IN THE BOOK OF THE LIVING BEFORE ANYONE GETS BLOTTED OUT.


Revelation 3:5
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Here is the thing everyone is already in there and through death in unbelief or becoming reprobate gets blotted out.

Psalm 69:27-28
Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
Let them be BLOTTED OUT of the book of the living, and NOT BE WRITTEN WITH THE RIGHTEOUS

Notice it says let them not come into THY righteousness.  In other words imputed righteousness.  Don't let them believe and get saved, make them reprobates.  When they die in unbelief or become reprobates as they live, they get BLOTTED OUT.  How can the wicked be blotted out if they were not ALREADY IN THERE?


REPENTANCE MEANS TO CHANGE YOUR MIND THAT IS WHY GOD DOES IT IN THE BIBLE.


 Amos 7:3
The LORD REPENTED for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.

Exodus 32:14
And the LORD REPENTED of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

A CONGREGATION IS A CHURCH NOT UNIVERSAL MEMBERSHIP OF BELIEVERS.

Psalms 22:22
I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of THE CONGREGATION will I praise thee.
Paul is quotes Psalms!  But notice how he quotes it!

Hebrews 2:12
Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of THE CHURCH will I sing praise unto thee.


JAMES WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT SALVATION. REMEMBER FAITH IN CHRIST IS DIFFERENT "OUR FAITH" IN OTHER WORDS "OUR RELIGION" WHEN JAMES BRINGS UP SALVATION LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAYS.


 James1:21
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the ENGRAFTED WORD, which is able to SAVE YOUR SOULS.

Ok What actually saves our souls? It is the engrafted Word (Jesus Christ) not us!

John 1:1 In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God.

This is faith alone. Notice he said SAVE YOUR SOUL! There is no wiggle room for guessing.

James 1:18
Of his own will begat he us with the WORD of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

God gave birth to us by his WORD(Jesus Christ) OF TRUTH. We are born again by believing the word. This is how we get into God's family! We cannot do good deeds,as an atheist and be in God's Family.

 Romans 4:2
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; BUT NOT BEFORE GOD.

DON'T YOU HAVE TO ENDURE TILL THE END TO BE SAVED?

Matthew 24:13
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Wow that looks like Jesus is talking about saving your soul

Keep Reading your Bible

Matthew 24:22
And except those days should be shortened, there should NO FLESH be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

He was talking about believers surviving bodily death, John the Baptist did not endure till the end being beheaded but he is in heaven.Bodily salvation is not spiritual salvation.

Matthew 14:30
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, LORD, SAVE ME.

WAS PETER ASKING TO GO TO HEAVEN OR TO NOT DROWN?

SALVATION DOES NOT APPLY TO ANGELS. DON'T COMPARE THEM TO US. WE ARE IN HIS IMAGE, THEY ARE NOT. THAT IS WHY WE GET PREFERENCE.


Hebrews 1:4-6
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

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:


-But to him that worketh not
