I know what “Born again” means, it appears that you do not!
Perhaps you are a osas believer, but I cannot see how a Bible believer can believe OSAS!
Yeshua said plainly that we must endure to the end in his Father’s covenant.
John 3 is completely about our new existance after the day of Trumpets.
.
That is NOT the end of a person's life...Endure to the end is to endure to the end of the Tribulation, when Jesus will show up on the earth...
Act_2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Joh 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
THAT is not the same as THIS:
Mat 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
When???
Mat 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Mat 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
Who, when???
Mat 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
When???
Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
When???
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
When???
Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
This discourse has nothing to do with the end of a person's life...It has to do with a period of time...The time just prior to the return of Jesus...This is after the Rapture...Prior to the rapture, anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved...
Well and truly said. Thank you
Still with you on this, Bro. There is no half-way commitment concerning salvation. It’s His Way or the low way, and there is no going back on His Way.
That is true, but it is also true that one who has not obtained salvation by completely, wholly, and irreversibly committing trust in Jesus alone, and has not received the indwelling Spirit, will not and cannot endure, but will fail, for which there is no other cure.
One who is determined not to abandon the false hope of salvation by works cannot even be pitied, because such a person will have no excuse (Rom. 1:16-22, esp v. 19).
And His Father's Covenant now is no longer the one upon which the Jewish religion was based. The conditions of that old covenant have been completely fulfilled, it has been done away with, abolished, and is deader than a doornail, never to be revived. For instance, everyone who insists on rewards for mimicking Jewishness, of "keeping Torah," thinking that it saves, will get exactly what they deserve: Sheol.
His Father's New Covenant is that it is His Son Jesus who takes away the sins of His People, the humans who believe and follow Him. The simplest form of the saving Gospel is found in Matthew 1:21:
"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins."
Only He, and He Alone can save, and that through His Blood alone. No other human, in any way, shape, or manner can bring about their own salvation. No one. Jesus does not participate with anyone else in the saving process of a person. And, Alone, He executes it perfectly. He cannot fail, and neither does His salvation. A person is involved in his own sanctification, yes; in his own saving, no.
Keep up rejecting His only plan of perfect salvation and life that never ceases, and God will be fair with you. You will get what you deserve. ======
Jesus Never Fails
Earthly friends may prove untrue,
Doubts and fears assail;
One still loves and cares for you;
One who will not fail.
Tho' the sky be dark and drear,
Fierce and strong the gale,
Just remember He is near,
And He will not fail.
In life's dark and bitter hour,
Love will still prevail;
Trust His everlasting pow'r,
Jesus will not fail.
Chorus:
Jesus never fails,
Jesus never fails,
Heav'n and earth may pass away,
But Jesus never fails.
========
I trust in Jesus, completely, in everything. Everything.
.
“Trust in Jesus alone” is doing and obeying as he did.
That is the obedience to the vow of the covenant!
The establishment of the covenant, and its renewal in sinless blood is the Gospel of the Kingdom.
what else do you think it could be?
.
.
The epistles of the apostles disagree completely with your theory.
The apostles all declare that we must endure to the end of our lives. That point is made by every apostle.
You are “reaching” severely.
.

>> “That is true, but it is also true that one who has not obtained salvation by completely, wholly, and irreversibly committing trust in Jesus alone, and has not received the indwelling Spirit, will not and cannot endure, but will fail” <<
John’s first epistle gives the cure for our sins, day by day: Confession and repentance!
.
You can confess and repent all you want, but without trusting in Jesus, in His cross-death for your sins, and for His Shed Blood to wash away your sins, there is no remission of them. And it is the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit that give you the ability to successfully resist and abandon the habit of sinning. Without Him, you will just keep on, no matter how muh you confess.
Aren't you a little confused? There is no "renewal" of the Old/First Covenant which was dependent on animal blood. That covenant was consummated by the perfect obedience of the Man Jesus Christ from conception through life and in the cross-death. God's conditions for forgiveness of the sins of humans were satisfied once and for all time at the Cross, and that First Covenant was finished, dismissed, and abolished. The Second New Covenant was declared at the Last Supper, and established to replace the First Covenant when Jesus rose from the dead, offered His Blood on Heaven's Mercy Seat, The Mighty God accepted it as the ransom price for releasing humans from the death curse, and The Father offered reconciliation to fallen humans that perpetually commit their trust in His Only Begotten Son.
That is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Gospel of The Kingdom is the good news that Jesus will establish His Kingdom of Righteousness and Peace on earth directly after the judgment of nations at the end of the seven-year tribulation.
The apostles all declare that we must endure to the end of our lives. That point is made by every apostle.
All you have to do is read, and believe the context...
.
The “context” of the entire Bible is the one and only covenant between Yehova and the “People for His Name!”
Not in that gang? Not a chance to be saved on the Day of Trumpets!
Read Paul’s letter to the Hebrews carefully, as many times as it takes for the message to sink in.
There is one and only one “Gospel,” and Moses preached it first, while Yeshua’s apostles constantly repeated Moses’ message.
.
.
As Jeremiah told us, there is but one Covenant!
It is between Yehova, and the House of Israel, and the House of Judah.
If the body of that covenant is not written on your heart, you will be without a chance when it counts.
