Jesus gave His disciples the following warning snd promise: "So take care how you listen, for whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have ,even what he thinks he has, shall be taken away from him."(Like 8:18) Therefore, let's ask the Lord to make us careful listeners and faithful doers of zHis Word so we can grow in Grace and Spiritual maturity.
Revelation 2:2: Jesus said to the church at Ephesus in AD 96, "I know that you can not tolerate **WICKED PEOPLE**, that you have tested those who claim to be Apostles but are not and have found them false."
**ANOTHER RIDICULOUS SATANIC STATEMENT BY **SAD**LUP**
"Is it possible Paul the (apostle) is the one being discussed in Revelation 2:2 ???" {ABOVE}
Actually the Apostle Paul who was inspired by God to write about half of the New Testament was killed by the order of the 6th Caesar {NERO CAESAR} 30 years earlier than Revelation 2:2 in AD 96 in AD 66!!
*SAD*lup asks: Can you prove Paul had the authority to change the Law? *SAD*lup teaches that only those portions of the New Testament that **HE APPROVES OF** are inspired by God???
The Roman Catholic Popes believe they have the power like Pope *SAD*lup to change and add to God's New Covenant of **FAITH** and **LOVE**!!
Acts 26:16-18: Jesus said to Paul, "I have appeared to you to **APPOINT YOU** as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of Me. I will rescue from your own people {the Jews} and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Me!"
Acts 22:14,15: Ananias said to Paul, "The God of our ancestors has **CHOSEN YOU** to **KNOW HIS WILL** and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from His mouth. You will be His witness to all people of what you have seen and heard!"
Colossians 1:25,26: : Paul said, "I have become its servant by the commission God gave to me to present to you the **WORD OF GOD IN ALL ITS FULLNESS**--the mystery that has **KEPT HIDDEN** for ages but is **NOW** disclosed to the Lord's people!"
Acts 27; Paul said, "I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the **WHOLE WILL OF GOD**!"
2 Peter 3:15,16: Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the **WISDOM THAT GOD GAVE TO HIM** He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things which are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people {Like *SAD*lup} distort, as they do other Scriptures, to their own destruction!!

2 Timothy 315-17; 4:1-4: You have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. All Scripture is **GOD-BREATHED** and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus , who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of **HIS APPEARINBG**and **HIS KINGDOM, I give you this charge: **PREACH THE WORD**; be prepared in season and out of season, correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people {Like &SAD*lup} will not put their faith in sound doctrine. Instead to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
Sadl, i agree that a person does not have to believe in the Trinity to be saved.
They need FAITH into Messiah.
I do not believe in the calvanists idea of election for salvation.
I believe each person born is born with a sinful nature, not innocent as people have been brainwashed to believe.
Neither Paul, nor any human has the authority to change the Word, BUT we must remember that Paul was sent to the Gentiles, the goyim to instruct them into the New Covenant about Messiah.
I believe the Word of GOD Almighty has no error, not so the translations of men.
I believe Messiah saves those which Faith into Him / trust Him, taking Him at His Word.
Salvation is not just saying words, or praying words, But salvation is Faithing(faith is a verb) into Messiah as you know who He is, and what He is like according to the Word as being revealed by the Holy Spirit.
Before a person has works, they must first have Faith into Messiah.
Most people only know what they have been told by a person self proclaiming to be a pastor/poimēn.
Most people called christians have no idea about the many errors in the many translations they read, as most never read the Word of GOD Almighty.
I do believe that once Messiah has saved them, they cannot be unsaved, for this is what the writer of Hebrews says in chapter 6.
25 Yeshua answered them, "I have already told you, and you don't trust me. The works I do in my Father's name testify on my behalf, 26 but the reason you don't trust is that you are not included among my sheep. 27 My sheep listen to my voice, I recognize them, they follow me, 28 and I give them eternal life. They will absolutely never be destroyed, and no one will snatch them from my hands. 29 My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one can snatch them from the Father's hands. 30 I and the Father are one."
> It says those who trust in the first place aren't his sheep.
> It says one must "follow"
> It says no one can snatch you away
> I DOESN'T say anything about making a choice to quit following.
There's more than just saying the sinners prayer in the Scripture passage you reference:
Romans 10:8 What, then, does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart."l that is, the word about trust which we proclaim, namely, 9 that if you acknowledge publicly with your mouth that Yeshua is Lord and trust in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be delivered. 10 For with the heart one goes on trusting and thus continues toward righteousness, while with the mouth one keeps on making public acknowledgement and thus continues toward deliverance. 11 For the passage quoted says that everyone who rests his trust on him will not be humiliated.
I have never believed, nor have i said that there is such a thing as a so called 'sinners' prayer to being saved.
If we take the Word from Romans 10 verse 10 we see that a person First must BELIEVE,before confession can be made. The christians have this backwards when they take Romans verse 9 and they stop there.
