He's a troll
He came here to stir up doubt for the rest of the church, and that's all he had intended to do.
I believe you're right old friend. If not, Logan wasn't biblically saved to begin with....
John 2:23 "Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
2:24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
2:25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man."
Actually this brings up a good point to discuss. In our churches, there are many folk who think their saved but are not. I believe there is a huge difference between those who want what Jesus can give them. They love the benefits, but not the Giver of the benefits. In other words, because of the wicked world that we live in and a kind of new evangelism these days that don't preach repentance from sin and a future of good works. Instead, they preach prosperity, they preach a luvy, duvy, warm and fuzzy life if a person simply believes in Jesus.
The prosperity preaching has, and is, deceiving folk to believe that they are saved when their not. It is my opinion that when someone hears all the gifts they can receive if they become a Christian, and they follow thru with a profession, this is not the Gospel that the Apostles wrote about. Before I post any Scripture, I need to make a simple statement. True Salvation is a commitment to the
giver of the gifts. Salvation is all about Jesus Christ, not what He is able to give us as a believer.
Simply put. Salvation shifts the hearts longing, not for gifts, but for a loving close relationship with the
gift giver, Jesus, and His Father.
Romans 8:32 "He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"
2 Peter 1:2 "Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
Confirm Your Calling and Election
1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."
To conclude my thoughts
, I'd just want to impress the thought that our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus just love to give great gifts to their Believers who trust in them, not only for Salvation, and the greatest gift, eternal life, but to receive those "great and precious promises. If we are not careful, we will except God's gifts without acknowledging and loving the Giver. Remember the huge love affair we had with Jesus when we were saved? O my. How we thanked our Heavenly Father for allowing Jesus to die for our sins. O how we lovingly felt about Jesus Who endured the beatings and death on that cruel cross.
Lets not forget to remember where our future life is held, in the great big heart of Almighty God and His anointed One, Jesus.
