@sonship saidSecond frequest. Can you find the expression "assurance of salvation" in the bible ? Any version. Here is your Hebrews quote in the KJV. Its not there
@Rajk999
Are you sure?
There is no assurance of salvation.. expression in the bible.
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; (Hebrews 3:14 KJV)
If you cannot find it just say that. Confess that just make up stuff to fool people who do not know the bible.
As for your Hebrews quote that condemns your "once saved alway saved" garbage doctrine. It says that IF you remain steadfast to the end THEN you will be made partakers with Christ. IF. IF implies THEN.
@sonship saidI repeat, there is no "assurance of salvation" in the bible. When are you going to stop your disgusting lying and misinterpretations of the bible.
No assurance of salvation expression in the bible?
How about -
Hebrews 11:1 - "Now faith is the substantiation of things hoped for, the conviction [or ASSURANCE] of things not seen."
Then there is 2 Tim. 3:14.
"But you, continue in things which you have learned and have been ASSURED of, knowing from which ones you have learned them."

@sonship saidAre you really saying that a man can preach nonsense, twist the bible, condemn the teadhings of Christ, refer to Christ in a derogatory manner, and Christians must simply accept what he saves without saying that that man is a liar and a deceiver?
Would you expound a little on this passage?
"So then do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and make manifest the counsels of the heart, and then there will be praise to each from God." (1 Cor. 4:5)
What is the Apostle Paul instructing the Christians in Corinth here about their judging one another?
I am all ears. Teach me.
Yes people are free to judge what you preach whether it be true or not. That is the right and duty of people.
It is incredible that you quoting that passage. Do you think you are some kind of saint with some kind of authority from God. You are a cult member, a brown noser for Witness Lee, a product of the teachings of Satan. Your doctrine leads to damnation .

Another falsehood. You didn't ask him. You said: "Get yourself saved and begin to pray for your loved ones and acquaintances." You don't believe he is "saved" and you imply that he doesn't pray.
I totally reject your evaluation.
And no more time will be spent on this side to explain to you EXACTLY what I had
in mind.

@mercury saidGod will do what He said He will do.
Surely an all powerful loving god wouldn’t burn people alive forever! What would be the point?
To save us - He would do what He said He would do.
To SO LOVE us that we not perish - He will do what He said He will do.
To uphold His eternal righteous nature - He will do what He said He will do.
This is what we must get use to.
To demonstrate upon the rebel forever what His attitude towards sinning is - He will do what He said He will do.
To build New Jerusalem and have a universe in which righteousness alone dwells- He will do what He said He will do.

By the way, I know its there, but you do not want to quote that one because that one condemns your entire argument that YOU have assurance of salvation.
@mercury saidAll powerful does not mean He will FORCE you to be reconciled and FORCE you to be a part of His kingdom.
Surely an all powerful loving god wouldn’t burn people alive forever! What would be the point?
Feel the awesome weight of responsibility for your eternal destiny.
Feel the awesome weight of your own free will.
And don't be a fool. If you are not saved, come to the Lord Jesus Christ accepting Him as your substitute under the judgment of God for your sins.
Do not wait for God to coerce and force you to receive His offer.
Receive Christ thankfully.
