Once Saved, Always Saved. Really
Published: June 22, 2006I asked my sister if she still believes that Jesus is her savior, that he died for her sins on the cross etc… and she says “no”, thus denying Jesus as her Savior now … she accepted Jesus when she was a little girl, but now she changed her mind … she believes in reincarnation to get closer to God very strongly – she doesn’t believe that Jesus is the only way to God any more.
What must I make of that? Can she “lose” her salvation because she changed her mind on who’s her Savior… or will she still be saved?
Can you accept Jesus as your Savior and then deny Him afterward and still have your name written in the Book of Life?
If she repents and re-direct her views and beliefs towards Jesus, well YES, but what if she dies tomorrow without changing back to Jesus as her Savior?
Contemplative Prayer
Published: June 22, 2006I have a brother who has been saved and Spirit Filled for over twenty years and who has led an active life serving the Lord. He has recently become interested in contemplative prayer. He is trying to achieve a deeper, more intimate relationship with the Lord.
My question is, Do you think that a person who is Spirit Filled needs to be concerned about venturing into the spirit realm or is he protected by the indwelling Holy Spirit?
Taking The Mark Of The Beast
Published: June 20, 2006I have been wondering for a long time if we will be raptured before the mark of the beast will be mandated to purchase food or whatever. I believe in the pre-trib rapture but still question whether we will be here for the temptation of having to take the tatoo or whatever (mark of the beast) because the Bible says once you have taken the mark you cannot be saved. I know for a fact that I am saved and I truly love the Lord with all my heart but I am also afraid I may be fooled or not be strong enough to refuse it.
Please help me with these questions as I have had them for many years.
Angels Or Demons?
Published: June 20, 2006I have an aunt who is and has always been very religious. She lives alone way out in the woods and sometimes I think she hallucinates. She claims to have seen angels in her house and also ghosts. I don’t know how she distinguishes between the two. Do you think these are really angels or something the devil is doing to try and scare her?
Her children claim to also have seen ghosts in the same house when they were young and one even claims the devil was at the foot of his bed one night. I have never believed in ghosts or anything like that and was just wondering your thoughts on this.
The Bible Code
Published: June 20, 2006What is your opinion on the Bible Code book written by Michael Drosnin? I tend to believe it.
Are Women Allowed To Preach?
Published: June 19, 2006Thanks so much for all that you do. What does Scripture say about women preaching? There are so many women in the “pulpit ” right now-especially on so called Christian television. The ones I have witnessed are all so loud and seem to scream a lot.
Will We See Our Unborn Babies In Heaven?
Published: June 19, 2006My wife and I were talking about the differences in her family between her three siblings and herself. I recalled that my mother lost at least three babies in miscarriages before I was born, and one following my birth. My wife and I also had a miscarried baby lost early in our marriage. We have always believed that we would see our unborn baby once we get to heaven.
Is there reason to believe this is true? If so, will I be reunited with my siblings once in heaven? What will they be like? I am a middle aged man now. Will they be adults or babies? Or will we all be ageless?
Also, a good friend of mine lost his 5 year old in a terrible accident. However, he and his family are Mormons. His child was taught in the Mormon tradition until his death at 5 years old. Will that child be in heaven? Same goes for many, many little children who die before the so called age of accountability.
I appreciate you taking the time to answer this question.
In What Year Did Jesus Die?
Published: June 16, 2006Your site is a tremendous blessing to me! Thank you for spending time to answer our questions.
Do we know what date (mainly what year) Jesus was crucified? I’ve seen in-depth teachings about matching up two Sabbaths in a row (the seventh day in passover and the seventh day of the week because supposedly Sabbath is plural in Matthew 28:1) giving us 29 AD. I’ve heard that Daniel’s 70 weeks gives us 32 AD. I’ve also heard that Luke 3:1 gives us 33 AD. Who is correct?
Will The Anti Christ Know Who He Is?
Published: June 16, 2006My question is with regards to the Anti-Christ. Is he just a normal human being who will be unknowingly influenced and used as a puppet by Satan, or is he the Devil in the flesh (kind of how Jesus was God in the flesh), either born that way or possessed by him? Would he be aware of the distinct purpose he holds or is it simply a matter of one man’s unfortunate fate?
Rebellion In Heaven?
Published: June 15, 2006When Lucifer said “I will be like the Most High. I will ascend” and etc. it says that a 3rd of the angels plus the Devil were kicked out of Heaven. How is it possible for a Revolt of that kind to take place in Heaven?
If free will is possible to that extent for some angels or all, is it possible for any Spirits of people who have not been assigned to earth yet to revolt as well? In other words, people like you and I that exist in Heaven who have not yet had the opportunity to be born in the flesh yet. How could any evil have existed in Heaven in the pure presence of God to begin with?
