JESUS THE CHRIST MINISTRIES

The full Counsel Newsletter - No 82

EXAMINE YOURSELVES AS TO WHETHER YOU ARE IN THE FAITH..   PROVE YOURSELVES.. DO YOU NOT KNOW YOURSELVES.. THAT JESUS CHRIST IS IN YOU.. UNLESS INDEED YOU ARE DISQUALIFIED.... 2 CORINTHIANS 13:5,6.

ETERNAL SECURITY!

Lets not read anything into or out of this profound statement of the great apostle Paul .. let us receive the rebuke and the blessing of the rebuke to the glory of the Lamb... Psalm 119:65-72.

We have to admit that .. eternal security is a reality, however it only becomes a reality under the Christs conditions.

Paul said to the Corinth christians to examine themselves to see if they were .. still in the faith, key word being .. still. This tells us immediately that it is possible to either be in or out of the faith.. Matt 25:1-13.

Paul tells the Corinthians to .. prove themselves .. prove themselves to be or not to be. To be true followers of the Christ and not to be reprobates and rejected of Christ. There is no doubt the apostle is talking about the loss of safety/salvation. Was Christ a reprobate?.. an apostate?

In today's churches there is no need for proof of anything, its all just say a prayer, sit in a chair and go to heaven .. OSAS .. eternal security without requirements, eternal life for reprobates and apostates and the lukewarm christians alike... Matthew 10:32-42.

The bible I use is a NKJV and it uses the word disqualified. The KJV uses the word .. reprobate instead of disqualified. Which makes it very clear to all readers who are seeking the truth, that Paul is talking about damnation or salvation. Paul was saying to the Corinthians that if you say that Christ is in you and you live as you are you are not saved from hell fire but you are damned to destruction with the rest of the sinners and the ungodly.

Please read: 2 Thessalonians 1:1-12 * Jude 5-19.

THE WORDS REPROBATE AND DISQUALIFIED MEAN THE SAME THING CONCERNING THIS SCRIPTURE WE SEARCH TODAY .. CAST OFF BY GOD!

After searching the above scripture, and finding the truth, now go and compare it with the translation of the .. so called teachers, theologians of the holy bible, the pillow prophets and the money makers/word of faith teachers that breed like rabbits in the church structures today. Does it line up, are their teachings of any resemblance to Saint Paul's?

You can only say .. yes or no and my answer is no!

I beseech every teacher and preacher of the OSAS doctrine to .. examine themselves and ask themselves the question .. what are the wages of leading people astray? ... amen.
