Once Saved Always Saved (Justification by Faith Alone) This is a doctrine as well as other that have been created by the Catholic Religious System (I would restrain calling it a church) to further their plan to re-simulate true believers back to their control. One would say hey, the Catholics don’t believe in “once saved always saved” or “Justification by Faith Alone”, and that is true. In short the Catholic principalities by nature created a bondage system and have been running it for hundreds of years. They have done this by suppressing the word of God and murdered God’s people for their testimony of it. Some of their own betrayed them and with others and translated the true word of God into the common language and exposed there evil system to keep people in bondage and to have power over the population. Since that time the Catholics in many forms but primary using the Jesuits created re-educational programs to once again gain power. The complexity of the complicity of this attack is staggering. The infiltration has been incremental and constant. It is infusing itself into the one new world government; it is literally riding on the One World Order. It is using false doctrine in a type of false flag attack to undermine the true word of God. Christian believers are being deceived, the very elect. How is this possible? Simple, get their eyes off the true word of God. Revise, equivocate, add to, take away, dilute, and The main verse used to show that salvation is by faith or justification is by faith or once saved always saved. However although faith is linked some what to believing it is not what faith is. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. The following verses show that deeds are what are reproved For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. Believing is followed by doing or following the faith of Jesus Christ which is the faith God has dealt to us. 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. In this verse salvation come by believing on Jesus Christ, if it stands alone, the following verse; And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. The Catholic Religion would have you think that these are works that you must do to have salvation and the Evangelical would have you think that you have Jesus stand in your place and you have really have no part of the good that was done. Quoted by Apostle Paul 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. These verses show that salvation come by believing, it is a heart decision; however the end of Deuteronomy (that thou mayest do it) and Roman’s (the word of faith), connect the faith and believing. What the problem has been that one may do work without the heart belief and not infuse the two, the letter of the law is death and the spirit brings life. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Again salvation by believing on Jesus is link by the very infusion of Jesus Christ into ones own being or really us being infused into him, illustrated by the allegory or metaphor and symbolized through communion and act of faith that the spirit and the word leads us to. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. This shows the we are saved through faith not by faith it is the grace that leads us and powers us through the faith of Jesus Christ. 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. MAT 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. This Parable from the Sermon on the Mount an allegory of removing sinful behavior from ones life so that offensive actions are restrained, so as not to hinder the Spirit of God in your life; otherwise one may construe that one salvation is linked to works that must be accomplished to attain salvation rather than deny one self and following Jesus. One would be in error to think that these verses are examples that show salvation has specifications that must be fulfill by one self to attain salvation. MAT 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. ~The Two Foundations These verses also may be construed as one is not walking through the faith of Jesus Christ but one own works however if one would observe that these are all things the Jesus did here on earth in fulfilling the word of God which we entering into as we are called too and not a system of works or specifications that must be fulfilled, rather that the love of God abides in us as does his word so that the Charity remains in our heart to hear and do the word as we are called. This is why Peter stated in; As in But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Or as faith afford us to be the praise of the glory of his grace we are rewarded and even rerewarded, according to his good pleasure of his will. How great is the grace of God to lead us into such a grand faith. This is what religious thought invokes; a system of specification that are required for you to do so as you obtain salvation. When this though becomes your premise all scripture is misunderstood and leads to error and deception of not only themselves but others they may bring into this bondage. If one pontificate as standing in the place of God it is enough to reject all and any who support him, them or there system. Call it what it is, iniquity, and For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. This verse shows that one may believe for a while, however when the trails of temptation came they fell away. The following verses show that the cares of this world can lead one to a fall and the outcome of keeping the word is over coming temptations. However the same trap is involved where one is focus on not doing some things and doing others so as to meet the specifications of attaining salvations; rather than keeping the word or abiding in the word, being washed by the word, which leads to the regeneration by the Holy Ghost. Doing the word falls in after trusting and believing and one may twisted the word and say if you really believe you would do it; but out of the Spirit one is obedience and lays down their life by and to the Spirit however if one walk by the flesh and hold backs, they fall from grace.
I find this study by Thomas Bromley worth placing on this blog, as he breaks down the 7 Nations in Deuteronomy 7:1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; This was written in the early 1600's By Thomas Bromley ________________________________________ 1. NATION, are the H I T T I T E S, signifying the Spirits of Fear and Discouragement: These discourage the Soul continually with false Fears, affrighting and terrifying it from its Work: Sometimes raising up Infidelity, sometimes false Reasoning, thro' earthly Wisdom, disputing against Faith and the Power of God; telling us, that none can come to Perfection; that none can conquer the Temptations and Assaults of the Devil; none can overcome Sin, Self, and the Passions and Distempters of the Old Man: Sometimes they discourage from without; with the many Rumours of Wars and Calamities, Persecutions and Tribulations: Arguing from the Opinions of learned Ministers or others, against our Practice, and from the divided contrary Judgments of such, from their Books and Writings; also from the Example of Multitudes, that believe and walk otherwise, and yet hope to be saved. All this, these discouraging Spirits of Fear, cast before the Soul, to stop its Wheels in going to Perfection: And this they do from first to last, even till the Work is ended, and Perfection attained. But the Spirit of Faith, in the Name Jesus, doth at last conquer, and overcome these Hittites. 2. Nation are the A M O R I T E S, signifying the bitter fierce-talking and judging Spirits; judging for this or that, and all from the Root of Bitterness. These bitter Spirits do much hinder the sweet Lilly of the Valley, from springing up in the Soul, even the soft, meek, gentle Nature of the Lamb, from acting out its Virtue to our selves, or to others, either Friends or Enemies. These perverse Spirits, rather incite us to require Eye for Eye, &c. and practise Revenge; they despise forgiving Mercifulness, and in their Fierceness, Rage against Meekness, and the Law of Love and Tender-heartedness, and gentle soft Behaviour. In a Word, the Spirits of Envy, Enmity, Jealousy, and rash Judging, are Amoritish Spirits, which Joshua, that is Jesus, cometh to cast out. 3. Nation are the C A N A A N I T E S, the Merchandizing Spirits, that Traffick in our Minds, Wills, Thoughts, Senses, Imaginations, and Affections; they fetch in Buyers and Sellers into the Soul, and make it run out beyond due Measure, in its trafficking with them: Sometimes, in things we have nothing to do withal, or over-concerning our selves with a Multiplicity of Cares, about things of a little Moment; and thereby pollute and defile our Souls by opposing the Lamb's Law of holy Silence and pure Stillness, and departing from the one thing necessary, into the many, and so from Unity and Harmony, into Multiplicity and Discord. 4. Nation are the P E R R I Z I T E S, the Careless, secure Spirits, that open the Door of false Liberty, before the crucifying Work is done, Circumcision past, and Regeneration finished. These Spirits labour to take us off from our Watchfulness, make us neglect the Cross and be secure; and so let in all manner of evil Spirits, to oppress the Life of the Lamb in us; that by forsaking the Way of the Cross and continual Circumcision, (while we are Travellers, and not fixed and established in Perfection) Sin and Self, may get in again, and bear Rule over the Life of Christ rising in us. 5. Nation are the H I V I T E S, the talking, notional Spirits, that move us to talk of vain and needless Things: These awaken vain Thoughts and Imaginations, and fill our Phantasie with empty Romances and Scenes; and so thro' our Thoughts and Imaginations, they press in, and bring forth a Multiplicity of Words, and many useless and sinful Discourses and Disputes, which greatly hinder the springing and further growth of the divine Life. These vain frothy Spirits, come from the Starry Heaven, and their Dominion in us; they love Reasonings, Talks, and Debates: they fill us with Notions, and would have us spend our Life and Strength in talking of high and deep Speculations, and in unnecessary Disputes, for and against, about all things; and by this means, hinder us from being exercised in stable Obedience and Watchfulness. Under these Hivites, come in all the Arts and Sciences of this World; their Office is nothing else, but to awaken Notions and Speculations in the Phantasie, thereby to trouble, ensnare, and perplex the pure Heavenly Life, rising upon the Soul. I say, these Spirits have their Progeny from the Spirit of this World, and all Labour to bring forth a Talking Notional Religion among Professors, to delude them, and make them think they live well because they talk well. But they all belong to the Astral Heavens and stand under the Fall; in Natural things as well as Spiritual they are ever filling our Heads with Notions and new Opinions of all sorts. Thence we too often talk of Dispensations beyond our Attainments, and that sometimes from Visions, Sights, and Reading of the deep Mysteries of divine Things, and so forget and neglect holy Stillness, leading to the perfect Death, and daily Mortification of the ill Habits and Customs of the Old Nature and the World, and pressing into the Humility, Poverty, Innocency, and Simplicity, that should be in us, and would more beautify us in the sight of God, than all other Gifts and Knowledge whatsoever. 6. Nation are the J E B U S I T E S, figuring the Spirits of Pride and Elevation. The Name signifies to trample upon and despise; they would ever be trampling under Foot the Blood and Merits of Jesus, in the Pride and Might of the Fire; they slight and despise the Meek and Humble way of the Cross of Christ, elevating themselves above the Heart of Jesus, and the Power of the Love. They are always Tempting us to Trample upon the Pearl in our selves, and to under value the Pure Virgin of the Eternal Wisdom, and the precious Things of God, and would draw us into Apostacy with themselves, making us to slight the Redeeming Blood of the Lamb, and by puffing us up in Spiritual Pride, make us to think ourselves Perfect, before we are so indeed, and so by degrees, draw us to neglect the Rising Life of Jesus in our selves. 7. Nation are the G I R G A S H I T E S. These are the Earthly, Dirty Spirits, that Tempt and draw us to the Earthly Life, and its Vanities; to bestial Lusts, to Excesses in all things, against the Law of Moderation, Purity, Temperance, &c. And all these Spirits Fight in us to their last Breath, even till they are quite destroyed, by the Powerful Resurrection of Jesus in Spirit, in us, and his Ascension in us; which is our Perfection, in the Life and Nature of the Son of God, who will at last cast them out of the Fallen Humanity, and himself Reign there over them all to Eternity, AMEN, Hallelujah. http://www.passtheword.org/Thomas-Bromley/sevennations.htm
