[DanielLongo]

~”...and He will never leave you or forsake you once you confess Him.”~

I would be interested in where you find that doctrine in the Scriptures.

Matthew 7

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

Excuse me for butting in. I thought this scripture might be relevant to that comment.

Since were considering this topic, I thought the following scripture also might be relevant from Titus 1:16

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Pretty consistent with Christ's teachings in Matthew 7, don't you think?

[Elsie]

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Uh... just what IS that 'will'??
