Don’t go and take this all personal. I don’t know you. It’s a discussion.
Not for you to know/judge. God knows, that’s all that matters. I would venture to guess that 1/2 to 3/4 of your church congregation are not saved. Maybe even fewer than that. Do you also profess to know which ones? Are you even one of them? (again not personal, just a discussion)
Matthew 7 NKJV
The Narrow Way
13 Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are MANY who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are FEW who find it.
One of many profound verses in the bible.
Consider the words “few” and “many” as a percentage. What percentage would you think “few” is? I was taught as a child that 2 was a pair and that a few was 3 or 4. I would say that it can’t be more than 10% (more likely 5%).
So whether Donald Trump (or you for that matter) is truly “saved”, is questionable, thankfully there is still time to repent and accept His FREE gift.
Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Only God knows our hearts, Trump’s included. Dobson doesn’t. Dobson’s a pompous a$$.
I hope Dobson is right, but since it is something I can’t possibly know for certain about “anyone”, I am not going to let it influence my voting decision for president. Neither should anyone else, for the same reason.
Please don’t send me verses about “fruit”. They have nothing to do with salvation. Remember “not of works”.
Luke 23: NKJV
40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong. 42 Then he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.
43 And Jesus said to him, Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.
What fruits had he produced? Yet, his repentance and acceptance were enough to save him.
GO TRUMP!
And; I'd hope they are hearing the Words that will GET them 'saved'!
John 6:63
The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you--they are full of the Spirit and life.
Yup!!
