If This One Bible Verse was Truly Understood 90% of All American Churches Would Be Empty?

(Before It's News)

Matt 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

A well known Christian Salvation Bible verse is, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved (Acts 16:31). The Spirit of Christ in us produces love, joy and faith; the end of our faith is the salvation of our souls (1 Peter 1:9, Gal 5:22).

Christ spoke plainly when He said that unless you believe and are baptized you shall not be saved. He did not say you are saved, but you shall be saved.

Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Emphasis added

The Baptism performed by John was unto repentance, but the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is unto Salvation (Luke 3:16).

Every Christian Salvation Bible verse, always is in reference to a future occurrence.

Only upon Christ’s return to earth can this redemptive process known as Salvation take place.

2 Thes 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you unto salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.

The teaching of Jesus, that those who endure unto the end, are the ones that shall be saved, is a concise Christian Salvation Bible verse (Matt 24:13).

Holiness and the belief of the truth, are the result of the Holy Spirit that dwells within us. This is Christ’s down payment of his purchased possession unto Salvation (2 Cor 1:22, Eph 1:14).

The following Christian Salvation Bible verse, declares what we are saved from.

Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

The great tribulation is not the wrath of the Lamb. God’s wrath is the separation of the righteous from the sinners for all of eternity (Isa 13:9, Math 25:41, Rev 11:18).

1 Peter 1:5 These are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

God has not appointed us to wrath, as we are to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thess 5:9).

The gospel of Christ is the power of God unto Salvation (Rom 1:16).

James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

At the judgment of God, if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? This end of days Christian Salvation Bible verse, is indeed sobering (1 Peter 4:18).

1 Cor 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

The Christian Salvation Bible verse above actually is in reference to those that shall be saved. Likewise, to those that shall perish, the preaching of the cross seems absurd.

Everyone must have a solid foundation that is built upon Jesus Christ. Our faith in Christ will be tried in much the same way as our works, which must be unto the Lord. The end result of real faith is the reward of eternal life (1 Cor 3:11-14, 1 Tim 6:12, John 3:21).

1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

In the Old Testament a single Christian Salvation Bible verse about hope stands out.

Lam 3:26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

The hope of Salvation allows the faithful to endure all things for Christ’s sake (Mat 10:22, 10:39, 19:29, 24:9).

Christian Salvation Bible verse

Gal 5:5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

Several pieces of defensive armor for Christians are the breastplate of faith and love, and the helmet which is the hope of our salvation (1 Thess 5:8, Eph 6:17).

1 Pet 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.

We can not hope for something that we claim to already possess (Romans 8:23-25).

1 Thess 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

This Christian Salvation Bible verse sums it up well. The gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation (Rom 1:16).

  • American churches are basically cults, most of them anyways!!

    • destined2Bconfused

      Not most but — all — including you and yours.

      destined2LIE
      “If you have ever wondered if you could lose your Salvation, you can rest assured that the answer is without any doubt, absolutely not!If you have ever wondered if you could lose your Salvation, you can rest assured that the answer is without any doubt, absolutely not”

      destined 2 lie — how can you make that statement in the face of these words of JESUS CHRIST?

      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.

      Jesus Christ is stating to so called Christians —- “I NEVER KNEW YOU — DEPART FROM ME YOU THAT WORK INIQUITY; iniquity is lawlessness i.e, transgressing God’s HOLY LAW.

      So you can do many great works and you can worship Jesus Christ IN VAIN and did you notice no mention of speaking in satanic words — Christ NEVER spoke or taught — your main focus — mumbling in the tongues of demons, do you even have a clue what you are speaking??? no because Satan is cursing God and Christ through your mouth. and this is the gospel you teach —-

  • The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a necessary gift, that needs to be sought after, to truly realize Our Assurance of Salvation.

    Many misguided people who do not have the Assurance of Salvation, ask the question,” Can I lose my Salvation”?

    If you have ever wondered if you could lose your Salvation, you can rest assured that the answer is without any doubt, absolutely not!

    But through the Holy Spirit we can realize our Assurance of Salvation. Every time that salvation, redemption or resurrection of the believer is mentioned in salvation scripture it is always referred to in the future tense. The reason is that only upon Christ’s return to earth can this redemptive process take place. One of the problems with Christianity today is that most have no hope. In fact few even understand the meaning of the word. How can you hope for something you claim to already possess?

    1 Pet 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

    Our Assurance of Salvation is Not Based on Works

    We can not discuss the hope that we do not have, because of our assurance of Salvation that we claim to already possess, as opposed to the knowledge of one day receiving it. Many deceived souls accept the false teaching of having the assurance of Salvation by works, when they claim to be saved now by the words they speak. They do not have the hope of the rewards promised to be given at the end of this age, and therefore they miss out on an incredible journey. This is one of the greatest lies ever taught to the masses; it also parallels a similar condition that Jesus encountered with the false teachers of that time. Basing our assurance of salvation on works, whether it be through words or deeds, is self-righteousness, and it is a deadly and empty false doctrine.

    • …sure you can lose your salvation…
      …Any one of the ‘saved’ christians out there could fall for the ‘rapture’ lie and end up worshiping the anti-christ…that would do it, for sure.

      what is to be “sought” after are the fruit’s of the Fathers Spirit.

      And it is not the individual that brings forth those fruits but the Father. Of our own selves we can do nothing. We are to be WILLING and let our Father create in us HIS HOLY DIVINE NATURE !

      But what you teach, whether or not you realize it, is WORKS, YOU are working and teaching other to work up to an emotional condition so the demons will speak through your own mouth words that are vile and despicable.

      Your only and main focus is mumbling in meaningless noises — those demonic sounds are NOT a fruit of God’s Spirit.

      There are many many scriptures telling follower of Jesus Christ they can be rejected AND YOU are teaching the BIBLE –THE WORD OF GOD IS A LIE! I do not want to be standing any where near you “”IN THAT DAY!”"

  • There are seven church types and the peoples who attend these seven church types fit into one or more of these seven types.

    Believers who attend no church at all are still part of the body of believers and they also fit into one or more of the seven types.

    This is the last verse of each of the seven church types that Yahshua judged in Asia Minor:

    Rev 2:7

    7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
    KJV

    Rev 2:11

    11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
    KJV

    Rev 2:17

    17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
    KJV

    Rev 2:29

    29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
    KJV

    Rev 3:13

    13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
    KJV

    Rev 3:22

    22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
    KJV

    Smyrna, the Martyr church, are you read to die for your belief and you do know that those who call themselves Jews are liars and the synagogue of Satan don’t You?

    Philadelphia, the church of brotherly love, you do know that those who call themselves Jews are liars and the synagogue of Satan don’t You?

    • Mr Bean………Glad you listed :arrow: those CHURCHES of :arrow: Gods People

      They Had ALL things in COMMON Acts 2:44….”They ALL believe/ed in the “HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD”

      Clearly TRIUNE GOD.

      He that hath an ear, let him hear what the :arrow: SPIRIT SAITH :idea: unto the churches

      The SPIRIT IS A PERSON…. :arrow: as He SPEAKE’TH GODS WILL :idea: to HIS PEOPLE

      YOU..”Believers who attend no church at all are still part of the body of believers and they also fit into one or more of the seven types.”

      CORRECT most are in the LAST ONE (CHURCH), especially when they DENY the TRIUNE GOD WHO SPEAKE’TH so clearly to HIS EKKLESIA. :idea: :idea:

  • “Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and your greatest weakness.”

    -The Architect

    • b4

      more insane bible thumpers—-god does not read the bible-never has–never will–was not written by god either–men in a cave wrote it–it is not the word of god either– god would never talk about anything humans understand–god is way above that nonsense–god is not petty,hateful,judge mental or anything like humans–god is never like humans-go will never ask if you read scripture-or talk about anything in the bible–it is baby food for adult infants trying to deal with the insane thoughts that rumble thru their immature tiny brains-

  • @ Destined to be revealed. ‘If you have ever wondered if you could lose your Salvation, you can rest assured that the answer is without any doubt, absolutely not!’

    Here is the Truth from just a tiny portion of Scripture. Tons more available, if you still don’t believe! BTW, do you solicit $$$ for “teaching” the things of God? Anyone who does those types of things will never understand God’s Truth unless you repent and change your ways.

    Just few of the countless WARNINGS by Christ Lord Jesus for the falling away called out ones.

    And another: Matthew 25: 1-13 HE Tells us that there are 5 wise virgins and 5 unwise virgins; the latter is not invited to the Wedding Banquet because they allowed themselves to run out of oil = Holy Spirit. They did not watch carefully and wait as Christ, Lord Jesus Tells all of us to do!

    The five wise and the five foolish virgins should plainly + and COMPLETELY explain the fact that one can definitely lose one’s salvation.

    IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION, LORD JESUS CHRIST SPEAKS TO THE “CHURCHES” , HIS CALLED OUT ONES THROUGH HIS LETTERS TO HIS CALLED OUT ONES.

    WHY WOULD LORD JESUS CHRIST SAY THAT HE WOULD TAKE AWAY OUR CANDLESTICKS QUICKLY LEST THEY REPENT?

    HE ALSO SPEAKS MUCH ON THOSE WHOSE NAMES THAT WOULD BE , WILL BE OR HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE.

    WHO ARE “THEY”?

    “THEY” ARE CHRISTIANS WHO HAVE THEMSELVES TURNED AWAY FROM GOD, AND CHRISTIANS WHO ARE ABOUT TO FALL AWAY UNLESS THEY REPENT, AND SERIOUSLY. HOW CAN ANYONE REFUTE THIS?!

    BUT AGAIN, THE ENTIRE WORD OF GOD WARNS ALL OF US OF FALLING AWAY. THE OC WAS FILLED WITH GOD TRYING TO CALL BACK HIS FALLEN PEOPLE.

    Luke 21:36 “Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

    Any one of us could pass on at any time, so please learn what God Truly Wants.

    Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

    A reminder to the so-called “teachers”, “pastors”, “priests” who are called father this or that “, “reverends”, rabbis”, “elders” ,”deacons”, “imams” “bishops”, “teachers”, “popes” etc.

    Matthew 17:5 While He was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a Voice out of the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; HEAR HIM!”

    HE MUST INCREASE; but i must decrease. JOHN 3:30

    There are countless verses throughout the entire bible and in particular in our New Covenant with Christ, Who Tells us to be obedient, to listen to HIM and HIM ONLY and not to become deceived or we will not be allowed in the First Resurrection.

    John 5: 39-40 You search the Scriptures because you believe they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to Me! Yet you refuse to come to Me so that I can give you this eternal life.

    The entire purpose of living on earth is this: Seek the Kingdom of God=God Himself so that we will be allowed in the First Resurrection.

    Revelation 20:4-6

    4: I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. [And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Lord Jesus Christ] and because of the Word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

    5: This is the First Resurrection. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.

    6: [Blessed and holy are those who share in the First Resurrection] The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign (SERVE) with Him for a thousand years.

    There are zero denominations in Heaven! Why then are there so many on earth? That question, if someone is really serious about being obedient to Christ, will be pondered and seriously so. There are many reasons we are to be obedient to Him and Him Only and never to mankind made imaginative lies but the end result is that we will be worthy to stand before HIM; to be accounted worthy to be included in the First Ressurrection; to become heirs and SERVE with HIM!

    LISTEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIM ONLY SO THAT YOU WILL NOT BE DECEIVED.

    Luke 10:38-42 As Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a village where a woman named Martha welcomed them into her home. Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught. But Martha was worrying over the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.” But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are so upset over all these details! There is really only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it–and I won’t take it away from her.

    Again: John 5: 39-40 You search the Scriptures because you believe they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to Me! Yet you refuse to come to Me so that I can give you this eternal life.

    1John+ 2:27 But you have received the Holy Spirit, and He lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you all things, and what He teaches is true–it is not a lie. So continue in what He has taught you, and continue to live in Christ.

    1John 2:19-21 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

    The Old Covenant prophets’ words, (from God) were for the people back then as well as for us today.

    As Jeremiah told us in Jeremiah 5:30-31 “An astonishing and horrible thing has been committed in the land; The “prophets” prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own power and [my people love to have it so.] But, what will you do in the end.”

    Today, because of the heresy of the once save always saved false doctrine, these Scriptures, Jer 5:31, are also being fulfilled in our lifetime.

    All important: The second part of Romans 8:1 always seem to be conveniently left out by the false “teachers”; “preachers” and so-called “prophets”.

    Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT.

    Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

    APOSTASY TODAY: ACCORDING TO THE HOLY WORD OF LORD JESUS CHRIST: NOT ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED

    WE MUST POINT OUT AND SPEAK OUT AGAINST THIS VERY SERIOUS ERROR THAT IS BEING TAUGHT IN MOST CHURCHES.

    Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the Gate, and narrow/TRIBULATED is the Way, which leadeth unto Life, and few there be that find it.

    Matthew 7:14 refers to Christians who themselves have turned away. Remember, it’s never been enough to just believe in Christ. This is one of the doctrines of demons. Obedience to His Commands proves we are seeking Him with all of our being.

    Isaiah 30:15 In repentance and rest you are saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.

    Making $$$ off of God’s Back: When one does this, whether for a little bit of $$$ or alot of $$$, you [will not] know HIS TRUTH, you will teach and lead others into the ditch. And this will also happen:

    When we lose sight of God and His Ways, The Wall Street “factor”; not exclusively to Wall Street, but illustrative for this point, slithers out. This money factor drives most people to behave and do things that go completely against God and His Holy Ways, much to the detriment of God. Why? Because of the perception this filth creates in how they and others perceive God!

    When His Holy Character is defamed by those who call themselves His, they are using His Name in vain.

    This heresy is so dangerous because most people do not believe it is a bad thing. The making money off of The Back of the Holy, Lord God Almighty’s is so profane, I cannot come up with words to describe how despicable this false teaching is.

    Matthew 21:12 And Jesus went into the Temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and brought in the Temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves.John 2:16

    And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s House an house of merchandise.

    Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

    Matthew 10:7-10 Now after you go, herald, saying that, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out spirit beings. You have received freely; give freely. “Do not provide for nor gain possession of gold, nor silver, nor copper for your belts. Do not provide for nor gain possession of a bag for the way, nor an extra tunic, nor sandals, nor a staff. For the worker is worthy of his food.

    Matthew 10:8 …Freely (without pay) you have received, freely (without charge) give.

    Matthew 10:8 …You received without paying; give without pay.

    FOOD is the “payment”.

    GOD does not accept the Old Covenant law of accepting tithes during a “sermon” in the New Covenant. All the things that most of today’s church does crucifies Lord Jesus Christ all over again and again. Are you comfortable with this fact? Will you continue to completely disobey God?

    How can most “clergy” teach that we must Walk by Faith, yet they themselves will not do this?

    Luke 10:7-8 “And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house. “Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.

    Luke 10:7-8 When you enter a town, don’t move around from home to home. Stay in one place, eating and drinking what they provide you. Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality, (food) because those who work deserve their pay. “If a town welcomes you, eat whatever is set before you.

    Luke 10:7-8 “Stay in that house, **eating and drinking** what they give you; for the laborer is worthy of his **wages.** Do not keep moving from house to house. “Whatever city you enter and they receive you, **eat** what is set before you

    Food is the wages that Christ allows. Gifts, which could include a gift of money, if given happily is allowed of course. But again, HE, God, is Speaking of those who have been Taught by The Only One Who Teaches Purely, Freely without error; the Only One Who never leads any one person astray.

    By His Holy Example:

    He, God, never told anyone to ask for money.

    It has never been about money.

    Ask yourself this: Did Lord Jesus Christ ever ask for money whenever He finished preaching a sermon? You won’t find a verse anywhere that says He did. So if our Most High God did not, why do today’s preachers believe they have this right.

    His Word is plainly and simply written. Anyone who says or writes anything different is a liar and a deceiver!

    When anyone writes or speaks about the Holy One, Lord Jesus, the Christ; the Only One Who Saves [Spiritual Lives] primarily when they speak or write sinister lies, when they tie the Holy One, Who has Created our New Covenant, when they tie any evil to His Character that has anything to do regarding any evil; killing and committing atrocities, they are either deceived or deliberately hooked up with the adversary; Satan.

    Most in the Catholic Church (as well as other denominations-which is also non-biblical and equals THE DIVIDING of Christ) are simply deceived by those who steal titles and authority; the non-biblical “clergy” or as Christ, GOD HIMSELF puts it “hirelings”

    Please do a biblical search on hirelings.

    These, “hirelings”, whether deliberate “hirelings” or not truly realizing that they are used by the rotted unseen force, Satan, are despicably using everything that belongs to the ONLY ONE who Will NEVER deceive anyone, ever: Christ the Holy One the Creator of all things.

    One more thing: Ephesians 6:12 We’re not waging war against enemies of flesh and blood. No, this fight is against supernatural powers and demon princes that slither in the darkness of this world, and against wicked spiritual armies that lurk about in heavenly places- the spiritual world and evil governments ruled by those demonic spiritual forces.

    We desire above all else to make it in the First Resurrection by taking the Straight and Narrow Path for WIDE IS THE ROAD THAT LEADS TO DESTRUCTION.

    God’s Way is loving, simple and an easy way to go IF you just don’t crave power, money and anything else which will hurt or destroy others.
