Christianity Etc › Once Saved Is Always Saved by paxonel(op): 7:28am On Feb 05, 2023 |
Romans 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
The shedding of the blood at the cross is once and for all. Salvation is for all who maintain their faith in Christ forever.
John 3:16 ...whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
But why do some folks still hold that once saved is not always saved? |

brocab: Obviously these people can live a prefect life style without sinning-these are super humans, I am in confession every morning, after I sleep 'I wake up repenting, we war against our mind, the law is Spiritual, we have got to ask them about whom do we confess our sins to, if not God? {1 John 1:99} If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. This is a consent reminder to humble ourselves before our Father, repeatedly repenting, asking Him to forgive us our sins-our own fathers disciplines us and we respect them for that, how much more can God do for us. exactly |

Because in religion, no one pays anyone for saying the truth. But people that are propagating lies are the ones cashing out heavily. Hence, we have too many people that want to cash out |

There is nothing like sin-free life!
Yes, it is true that one can avoid sin to the bearest minimum according to the 1John 3:9 you quoted, but before quoting 1John 3:9, always have it at the back of your mind that there is 1 John 1:8
1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
So there is nothing like sin-free life! Rather we can only manage our morality and limit our sin to the besrest minimum based on how knowledgeable we are.
The more we are ignorant the more sinful we are. The more knowledgeable we are the less sin we commit and more grace to enjoy this life.
Before you start preaching repentance ask yourself, does the person you are asking to repent have the knowledge or capacity to maintain that level of repentance?
So if there is anything one should pursue first, irrespective of your religion, doctrine or creed is knowledge and understanding.

There is no place called heaven that one should ascend to beyond this earth.
Heaven is here on this earth
Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
If Abraham, Moses and David are truly in heaven. Then certainly they are here on this earth right now in the person of some Christians who will never know that they had existed as Abraham, Moses and David in the past |

This argument has been going on for a decade, it seems no-one is reading their bibles-and if the are' they have skipped {Malachi 3:10} Other then this verse-there's no other verse in the bible, that actually say's we will be blessed through tithing and keep us out of a sick bed? "No other verse.. if there was any promise in Malachi 3:10 concerning tithing it was never for Christians. Even the Jews of today whose forefathers practiced tithing in bible days do not keep to the practice anymore and they are super rich people so why are Christians using it to scam themselves? |

Why will you start preaching Jesus or Islam or atheism or any other fundamental in an open place where it isn't lawful to do? In organise societies like that anything religious or fundamental preachings / teachings are reserved in worship places like the church, the mosque, etc., and not open city malls.
If the man in question is charged for breaking simple public rules the next thing, especially third world Africans like the op who knows nothing will start shouting PERSECUTION! PERSECUTION! meanwhile, Jesus teaches that we should be subjected to rules and constituted authorities governing us but we have some adamant Christians that are too conservative they are telling Jesus, no!
There were times even footballers on pitch(eg Kaka) after scoring goals they will pull out the inscription JESUS IS LORD! but today, that has become against football rules because in an open stadium like that there are adherents of other religions not only Christians. If Muslim footballers begin to open their own ALLAH IS GREAT, Hindu players KAKU KASHI, Buddhist players BHUL FULO etc, then there will be confusion! Our football games will end up becoming religious gathering |

jantman: Wearing shoe or sleepers into the celestial church is not permitted due to the reality of exodus on the presence of God. I will explain something about celestial church in my diary.
Celestial church did not ask its members to be walking on the street bare foot. The the thing very is sickening. Just imagine someone will be walking on the dirty soil of the road bare foot in the name of serving God.
 i think it is shared ignorance

Christianity Etc › Re: About Celestial Church Of Christ by paxonel(m): 5:24am On Jan 15, 2023*. Modified: 5:42am On Jan 15, 2023 |
jantman: Can any nairalander show me one church that is free from demons?. Can anyone show me one Christian denomination were there are no fake pastors or prophet?
It is very easy for people to speak badly or condemn what they themself don't understand. I say this because I have seen too many negative post or fear and condemnation over Celestial church on nairaland. Many people do not understand the mysterious ways of God, nor do they not anything about celestial church. Those who speak and condemn Celestial church, I dont blame them at all. After all, I was once like them. But it took me many years of bumping my head out of ingnorance. It took me many super natural experience to change my view and to know what celestial church is all about.
I will share a bit of my knownledge and experience below and I will gladys welcome correction from any celestial church members who bump into this write up. Please note that I am writing here s a member of the body of Christ and not a celestial church member.
MY KNOWLEDGE
☆Celestial church is a pentecostal denomination
☆ Wearing shoes or using sleepers is not permitted in celestial church and premises. You can asked (Exodus 3:5) when God said, " Do not come any closer. Take off your sandals, because you are standing on holy ground.
☆ Wearing white garmet? I dont know much about why cele use white garmet. To some people white means purity. You can correct me on this.
☆Wearing updown black or updown red clothes is not permmited in celestial churches and premisses.
☆ Celestial church combine the old testament prophet pratices like Moses, Elijah, Elisha and the new testament faith together. For example, if a person like Elisha ask you to go and deep yourself into a river, won't people of this day say that the prophet elisha is a spiritualist or a juju man? In Nigeria today, there are many spiritualist and babalawo who disguise to be pastors and this is the reason why people have to be more careful.
☆Celestial churches uses a lot and lot of white candles, coconut, incence, water perfumes, water, soaps, cloths, honey, sugar, salt, fruits and more material items to do the work of God. But it is God himself that work miracles through these object because of his love for men. Whenever you mention the name of Jesus into an object, the power of the name of God in that object will work wonders for a person.
☆Black and red candles is not permmited in celestial church.
☆ Celestial church (CCC) is not cherubim and seraphin church (C&S) although both are white garmet church but I dont know anything about C&S)
☆When a cele prophet gave a decree over an object to be used for a person, it is God or His angels that will normally used those object to manifest mercy and help to that person. God actually acknowledge the authority and power He has bestow upon His prophet, and I implore one to acknowlege the authority of the cele prophet and not those material items.
☆ All those coconut, candles, incence, honey, salt, perfume and many other material things cele uses, are symbolic. There is a mystery behind these material things I am yet to figure out.
☆ Those cele water perfume you see are mysterious. They have different types of water perfumes for different functions. They have perfumes for blessings. They have perfume to drive out demons. Cele guys can correct me on this.
DISSADVANTAGE
☆ Celestial church practices too many sacred rituals and this made their service tiresome. Just imagine you go to church by 10:am and you close by 5:00 pm and you get home by 6: Oclock in the evening, what type of church is that?
☆If Celestial church wants to work for you, they will bill you over those coconut and candles and if you look at the benefit of the fact that you will receive what you seek from God, then it is worth it.
[b]ADVANTAGE[/]
☆Celestial church are masters in breaking evil covenant. They can use material object to destroy the works of Satan in your life. Those coconut you see are not for childs play. Marine spirits use spiritual materials to cage their victims and witches us coconut shell to cage the spirits of their victims to cause mental illness.
If you are suffering mental illness, or foundational covenant, then Celestial church is your best bet.
I m not a member of any celestial church, but I have had so much from God through celestial church that I have to write about them on nairaland
[b]NOTE[b]; Anything that is genuine, the devils will try to counterfeit it by using his humam agent to spoil it. There are just about too many fake prophet and pastors in every denomination. Within celestial churches, there are false prophet and false shepherd who use dark powers just to see visions
The %100 truth is that, Celestial Church Of Christ (CCC) is of God and not of the devil.
but why do they go bare footed everywhere with white garments? I have been looking for opportunity to ask this question |

There is absolutely nothing mysterious about the church and all their ritualistic beliefs if you know. These people are not aware that though old testament is part of the bible, old covenant is not of Christ but of Judaism, them die wella inside scam  |

Moh247: I have been around Middle east and not for tourism and a typical Jew, Persian or Arab would see you as stupid reading your comment that's why i say religion is a thing of the mind. Everyone are entitled to do whatever suits them. Some will choose to practice ritualism while others will not, yet in the same religion. And if the people you mentioned see that as stupidity then that is what they have choose and are entitled to believe, yet in the same religion. So, you coming to say there are many serious religious rites in Islam and it's not so in Christianity, you are very wrong. If you want to give excuse for the inequality of NL religious mods observed by the op and others please look for a better excuse |

You haven't even stepped your feet anywhere near middle east yet cry over there religion have you attended Christianity pilgrimage at Jerusalem before? You don't know what is there you are here talking. Look my friend, religion is religion whether Islam or Christianity or whatever.. Everything rituals you see performed in any religion is a thing of the mind irrespective of the religion. I'm sure there are liberal Muslims who don't give a shit about ritualism, you are not better than they |
Christianity Etc › Re: Discrimination On Nairaland Religion Post by paxonel(m): 7:07pm On Jan 14, 2023 |
Moh247: Christianity is a faith... Anyone can be a Christian by just acceptance of Christ
Islam is a very serious religion with many religous rites it's not a joke... We face the meteorite of Kabbah, have ablution and say many things just anyone can't say
Please for your own good stay away from Islamic thread if you are non Muslim
Stay far from Judaism as well
. very flimsy excuse! Christians do have many religious rites too. Infact, Christians do burn candle and incense ,conjure all sorts of spirits in the dark and even face demons and say many things in tongues and incantations too, it's not a joke, it's a very serious spiritual exercise. So why do Muslims don't stay clear from Christian threads too for their own good or do they want to die? |
