Says who? You? And what of those verses that seperate repenting from belief? Repenting is DOING something. As is being baptized, confessing that Jesus is Lord, and changing one's evil ways.
But I also believe that once Saved always Saved.
You are more lost than I originally thought. Don't tell me..lemme guess. You also "speak in tongues"?
Not really, these cults work like a beaver every day trying to get to Heaven. They do not recognize Jesus Christ's Saving Grace. It's all good works for them and they never know where they stand!
And you don't consider your own twisted logic to be slightly cult-oriented? Such as rolling on the floor uttering gibberish, snake handling, faith healings (i.e. Benny Hinn), etc? You are indistinguishable from these groups in that you do not DO what Christ wants.
I know many Christians who have done that --- fallen off the Christian Wagon so to speak. I believe they are still Saved (if they were to begin with) but they are in serious trouble with God now and once they get to Heaven. They will not receive the Blessings/Rewards now or in eternity.
Right. And pigs fly.
So what are these "Blessings/Rewards"? Once saved always saved is a corrupt doctrine..and not scripturally based. Saul, for example, wasn't saved by an experience or even a personal encounter with God Himself. Neither was he saved at the point of extreme repentance or sincere prayer. Here is a man who truly believed that Jesus was the Lord, he didn't know this by faith-he knew it by sight! And yet, his sins were not forgiven until he met all the conditions for salvation, including baptism. It does seem that you have been heavily bombarded with denominationalism, which is evident in your lack of scriptural knowledge (and applicability).
