How To Know You're Truly Saved As A Believer, And Not Just Decieving Yourself by Nobody: 11:22am On Nov 19, 2019
If you're a not a worker of iniquity as a believer, then you're saved.

But if you're yet a worker of iniquity even as a believer then you're not saved.

So you need to repent from your wicked ways otherwise you'd already condemned, for no worker of iniquity would be allowed into heaven.

Jesus said:

Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV)

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.

Matthew 13:41-42 (KJV)

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

So according to Jesus Own Words, all workers of iniquity who are inside His Kingdom shall be uprooted and cast into the fire of hell, meaning that no single worker of iniquity shall be saved.

Therefore if you're a worker of iniquity as a believer and you yet think you're saved, you can keep decieving yourself and all those who care to fall for your deceit, but know for a certainty that unless you resign from that job of working iniquity, that hell fire which is your wages is already loading for you, and you would be paid in full on the day of judgment.

God bless.

28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

Sure!!!
1 Corinthians 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Iniquity to me includes perverting the word of God by calling them erroneous words.

It also stretches further to hatefully inspired character assassination.

Lol!

Word of Paul you mean, so Paul is your God?

The Pharisees of the days of Jesus would also accuse Jesus of the bolded, so no surprises when the Pharisees of today do same to those who follow the example of Jesus to expose their hypocrisy and lies.

Luke 13:1-3 (KJV)

1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

You only perish if you are serving a God who you believe would perish you.

Most of you people's rage and evil wishes are directed more at fellow Christians than non Christians.

Any thinking person would realize there is a problem.

You're acting as thought you're one of those workers of iniquity that is deceiving herself, thinking she can still get to heaven without repenting.

What problem do you have with the Truth that Jesus said about people perishing if they don't repent or continue in their iniquity, or are you one of those He was talking to?

You acting like the Truth is pricking your conscience, as if you are guilty, or am I wrong?

Repentance requires (good) fruits.

Luke 13:6-9 (KJV)

6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

Are you a worker, because I'm not, and I'm preaching the gospel of Jesus to those workers of iniquity both inside and outside the church so that they would repent, because no worker of iniquity would make it into heaven.

If that is not good enough for you, then you are entitled to your opinion.

By the abundance of your heart, your mouth speaks, hence such vanities that emanate from your heart.

Piece of advice, women who are chaste usually don't have issues with men seeking their hands in marriage. In fact the problem they usually have is having to choose from a number of options available to them, which is the right one. So when it's the otherwise for you, you should check yourself very well.

Maybe you're trying very hard to justify what ladykilacrude or so said of you, so perhaps you deserve what she was doing to you, hence when next she pays you a visit, you wouldn't have the shame to cry for help, especially when you're doing the same thing to someone else.

Based off this I presume those who Jesus spoke of in that passage you quoted in the OP preached the gospel of Sango or maybe Thor abi.....

I would like you to explain what such topics contribute to Christianity, and what true christians can benefit from such topics, or if such could possibly bring any unbeliever to Christ.

It's obvious you're not you're not here for Christ or to serve His purpose, but only here for your own selfish interests, so it's not surprising why you have a problem with the preaching of His gospel.

If you want me to take a break from this forum, Satan also wants the same, because he is opposed to the preaching of the gospel of Christ just as you are, so it's obvious who you truly belong to and whose interest you are here to serve despite that you are using the cloak of cover up, for it's surely not God.

I dont owe you any explanation for anything I say or do, feel free to take it whichever way you like, not my problem. Unlike you, I dont have an evil mind and evil soul.

But stop jumping on my posts and threads, I dont know you from anywhere and even if I did, I'm quite sure I'm not your mate.

So buzz off, thanks.

If your pseudo religion is based on nairaland or anonymous posters, then you're on a long thing. As I pointed out already, what you're practicing is not Christianity, it's something else.

I can see where you're coming from, thinking i should go and study the scriptures again and again because you think it's weird to open a thread and be going back and forth etc, not whether i am saying the truth or not.

You've shown that what informed your advice is not the things of God or the Spirit which gives life, but those that are of the flesh which profit nothing but death, so your advice is not worth any consideration from me.

Please pray for yourself and the many others as yourself who are driven by the things of the flesh and of the this world, for such a prayer is dead to me.

Lol! And you feel I owe you an explanation for mine.

I hope you'd take your own advice, because it would be very wise for you to do so, since you are first to come to my thread to be displaying your spiritual ignorance and opposition to the Truth, so you don't have any right to tell me not to do same to you.

It's obvious you're only here to mind other people's business, for that's your own addiction.

Please oh I'm not searching for a wife oh, just in case that is what you're here for, so that you'd not be disappointed.

I would leave you with this saying of Jesus that seems to be making you very much uncomfortable for some reason best known to you, and i would like you to pay serious attention to the bolded, for it could be useful to you at some point:

Luke 13:4-5 (KJV)
