PART I -Things Christians must avoid doing after accepting Jesus in order to live a holy life.

“Once saved is forever saved”! Is it true?

By Laura Pelliton/Zeida

    There is a doctrine out there telling: The moment that people accept Jesus as savior they have to confess their sins, and repent from them; and no longer need to repeat these steps in their entire lives, because “once saved is forever saved”! Is this means there is no condemnation for people who are continuing on involving, or participating in “wrong doing” after they’ve accepted Jesus because they were already saved? Not according to the word of God. You, confused teachers who are putting this message out there, haven’t you remembered that, after each healing cases performed by Jesus when He was on earth, He said to the individuals: “Go, and sin no more”? Furthermore, if you continue to live in sins after accepted Jesus in your life do you really think that the Holy Father God will allow sinners to enter His Holy Kingdom? Impossible! The truth is, the moment you accept Jesus in your life and repent from your past, Jesus wipes away all your sins, and welcomes you into His kingdom. But if you go back to your sinful life-style, you will be condemned. Therefore, the concept of “forever saved” is concerned individuals who, after crucifying their old sins with Christ, are separate themselves from their past, following Jesus faithfully, and even stay away from people who fear not sins. In addition, after repentance people must live a Holy Lifestyle in order to allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in them and do His work; the work of the Holy Spirit is “to guide you into all truth, and to show you things to come” (John 16 v 13).Now, you’re probably wondering how can anyone live a holy life in this immoral, corrupted, and violent world?  Jesus never said that following him will be easy; the moment you’ve decided to enter Jesus in your life you ought to work hard to stay clean, because now you have a goal that is “have right to the tree of life”. If you take time to read the bible thoroughly you will find numerous ordinances and commandments of God, instructing you how to be Holy. Here, is a few of God’s ordinances:

PART I –Things Christians must avoid doing after accepting Jesus in order to live a holy life.

• Avoid the works of the flesh, such as: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, sexual immorality, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying, murders, drunkenness, reveling. (GALATIANS 5 v 19 – 21)
• Women, don’t change your natural use into that which against nature. Likewise also, men don’t leaving the natural use of the woman to get burned in your lust one toward another (man burning toward man) ROMANS 1 v 26.
• Do not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sites in the seat of the scornful (PS 1 v 1)
• Do not back-bite with your tongue. Don’t do evil to your neighbor. Don’t take up a reproach against your neighbor. (PS 15 v 1 -3)
• Do not withhold good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do. Do not say unto your neighbor, go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when thou have it by thee. Devise not evil against thy neighbor, seeing he dwelled securely by thee. Do not strive with a man without cause, if he has done thee no harm. Do not envy your oppressor, and choose none of his ways (Proverbs 3 v 27-32). Don’t get angry with your brother. Don’t look on a woman to lust after her. Don’t cause your wife to commit adultery because you had sent her away. Don’t’ swear by heaven for it is God’s throne. Don’t swear by the earth for it is God’s footstool. Don’t’ swear by your head because you cannot make one hair white or black. Don’t swear at all! May your word be “Yea, and Yea”, “Nay, and Nay”, for whatsoever is more than these comes from evil? Don’t practice “an eye for an eye”; and a “tooth for a tooth”; it’s better not to resist to evil. Don’t hate your enemies. Don’t curse back at those who curse you (Matthew 5 v 19 – 47)
• When you’re giving money to the needy don’t sound a trumpet before thee as the hypocrites do in churches and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. When you pray don’t do as the hypocrites who love to pray standing in the synagogues or churches, and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men, But when you are praying go into your room, close the door, pray to your father which is in secret, and your father which sees in secret shall reward you openly (MATTHEW Ch. 6)
• When you’re fasting don’t be as the hypocrites who look sad that they may appear unto men to fasting. Don’t lay for yourselves treasures upon earth where moth and rust do corrupt and where thieves break through and steal. But lay up your treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For there your treasure is there will your heart also (MATTHEW Ch. 6).
• Don’t judge others so you won’t be judged. For what judgment you judge, you shall be judged; and with what measure you meet, it shall be measured to you again. (MATTHEW Ch. 7)

“Blessed are they that do his commandments that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city” (Revelation 22 v 14)
