Eternal Security

Which verses promise unconditional eternal security?

I have encountered numerous people over the years who have taught a doctrine that they call eternal security.

In brief, the doctrine of eternal security can be summarized as this:  Salvation is an eternal possession of the believers, therefore no one can lose their salvation once they become a believer.  It is once saved, always saved.  It does not matter what they do after they are born again.  They have unconditional eternal security. 

Those who teach this doctrine will often give twenty-two sets of verses that promise unconditional eternal security. 

So, which of these verses promise unconditional eternal security?

Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of his saints; He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked (Psalm 97:10).  It is only the souls of those who love the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) and hate evil that the Father of Truth preserves.  This verse says nothing about preserving the souls of those who return to doing what is wicked.  So, it has two conditions.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3).  This verse says nothing about people having eternal security after they are born again.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16).  This verse has a condition of believing in the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ).

And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day (John 6:39).  This verse only states that this is the will of the Father of Truth, and does not guarantee anything.  It is the will of the Father of Truth that no one ever sin, yet people sin.  "It" that will be raised up is clarified in the next verse as those who see the Man of Truth and believe in him (John 6:40).  This verse has two conditions, one of seeing the Man of Truth and another of believing in him.

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand (John 10:28).  This verse lacks context on its own to define who "them/they" are, who will gain eternal life, never perish, and never be taken out of his hand.  The previous verse shows that "them/they" are those, who hear his voice and follow him (John 10:27).  So this verse makes no promise of security for those, who stop listening to his voice and leave off following him.  This verse is conditional as well.

My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand (John 10:29).  Again, when you put this verse in the context of the passage it appears in, them are those, who hear the voice of the Man of Truth and follow him.  It is only those, who meet these conditions, which cannot be plucked out of the hand of the Father of Truth.  It makes no promise of security for those, who stop listening to his voice and leave off following the Man of Truth.

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1).  This verse says nothing about eternal security, but only that we have peace with the Father of Truth.  Even that peace is conditional on the Man of Truth being our Lord, and us having faith in him.  Also, anytime you see a "therefore", you need to look at what proceeded it to see what it is there for.  The proceeding verses make it plain that that righteousness comes from believing on the Father of Truth (Romans 4:22-25).  So, there are three conditions.

Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified (Romans 8:30).  This verse lacks context on its own to define who "them" are, which were predestinated, called, justified, and glorified.  The proceeding verses make it plain that "them" are those, who love the Father of Truth and are called to carry out His purposes (Romans 8:28-29).  Again, there are two conditions.

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?  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?  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.  Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us (Romans 8:31-34). Again, "us" and "His elect" are those who meet the same two conditions as the previous verse.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:35-39). Again, "us/we" are those who meet the same two conditions as the previous verses.

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:13).  Although commonly cited, this verse actually says nothing about eternal security.  The point of this verse is that all believers, regardless of being Jews or Gentiles, regardless of being bond or free, all belong to the body of the Man of Truth and have the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) working in their lives.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).   This verse begins with a therefore, so we need to see why it is there for, by looking at the proceeding verses.  These verses define that being "in Christ" means those, who are living for the Man of Truth, instead of living for themselves (2 Corinthians 5:15-16).  It has a condition of living for the Man of Truth.  So, it offers no eternal security for those, who return to living for themselves.

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory (Ephesians 1:13-14).  These verses have two related conditions, trusting and believing.  It is certain that this assurance is for those who continue to meet these conditions, for they were commended for continuing to trust in the Man of Truth and showing love to the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) in the very next verse (Ephesians 1:15).  This verse says nothing about not being able to lose the earnest of their inheritance, if they turn from doing these things.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9 ).  Grace is giving someone something that they do not deserve, so salvation is by graceIt is a gift of the Father of Truth that people cannot earn.  We can be certain that it is salvation that was given by grace, for a few verses earlier in this same passage say this with the exact same wording (Ephesians 2:5).  However, there is a condition to obtaining this gift, and that is obtaining it through faith.  This faith produces the good works, that the Father of Truth has planned for those, who are saved by grace to perform (Ephesians 2:10).  So, these acts are not earning salvation, but evidence of the faith needed to receive the gift of salvation.  It is like a man giving a free car to anyone, who will show up to get it.  The car is absolutely free, and cannot be earned, but those who want the car, still have to do something.  This verse says nothing about people keeping their salvation, if they turn from the faith needed to obtain it.

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption (Ephesians 4:30).  This verse is a warning to not grieve the Spirit of Truth, which means that people can grieve the Spirit of Truth.  They do this is by ceasing to do the things, which show that they have been saved (Ephesians 4:22-29).  This warning ends with a commandment to watch what they say, and to avoid unforgiveness (Ephesians 4:31-32).  So this verse definitely comes with conditions.  The Spirit of Truth is the seal that marks people to be redeemed when the Man of Truth returns.  There is nothing in this verse that says, this seal cannot be removed, but instead warns people to live in obedience to the Man of Truth.  The entire premise that this verse makes any promise of eternal security, is based on the Spirit of Truth not being able to be taken from someone, after they have been given the Spirit of Truth.  We will examine this idea in detail later.

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross (Colossians 2:14 ).  This verse does not stand alone, but is part of a passage.  In fact, us are those, who meet the conditions defined in the preceding verses. These conditions are continual repentance from sin, and faith in the Man of Truth (Colossians 2:11-13).  This verse makes no guarantee of any kind for people, who do not meet those conditions.

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; (Titus 3:5 ). The preceding verses make it plain that people were performing wicked works, until they came to the knowledge of the Father of Truth (Titus 3:3-4).  This lack of righteousness is why, we cannot be saved by works of righteousness which we have done.  The verses which follow say, that people become heirs of the hope of eternal life by believing in the Father of Truth, and maintaining good works (Titus 3:6-8).  So, according to His mercy He saved us, who meet these two conditions.  It offers no hope of eternal life to those, who stop believing in Him, or stop maintaining good works.

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec (Hebrews 6:18-20).   These verses begin by referring to two immutable things.  One of these is the Father of Truth (Hebrews 6:13).  The other is His council (Hebrews 6:17).  There is nothing about an immutable guarantee of salvation, regardless of what people do after they are born again.  The we/us in this section is those, who do those the things that accompany salvation until the end, like diligently laboring to take care of the Children of Truth (Hebrews 6:9-11).  They are the ones, who have fled for refuge, by enduring through faith in the Father of Truth, until they obtain what is promised (Hebrews 6:12-15).  So, these verses also have conditions to obtain, what is promised.

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them (Hebrews 7:25 ).  As usual, we need to look at the context to understand this verse correctly.  The them in this verse is those, who draw near to the Father of Truth (Hebrews 7:19).  It is those that come to the Father of Truth by the Man of Truth, who are saved to the uttermost.  So there is a condition of drawing near to the Father of Truth, to be saved to the uttermost.

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee (Hebrews 13:5).  Who are ye/thee/your in this verse?  Ye/thee/your refers to those, who have the faith to live their lives in accordance with the Word of Truth (Hebrews 13:7).  There is no promise given for those, who do not live their lives in accordance with the Word of Truth.

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time (1 Peter 1:5).  Who are kept refers to those, who are begotten again by the Father of Truth, and live in obedience to Him (1 Peter 1:2-3).  The salvation ready to be revealed in the last time is incorruptible and reserved in Heaven for those, who meet these conditions (1 Peter 1:4).   They will receive this salvation when the Man of Truth returns to the Earth, if they endure persecution through faith (1 Peter 1:6-9).  So the salvation in this verse, is only experienced in the future by those, who live in obedience to the Father of Truth, and who endure persecution through faith in the Man of Truth.

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God (1 John 5:13).  These things have I written indicates, that we must look at what was written previously to understand this verse.  You that believe on the name of the Man of Truth are those, who love the Children of Truth, keep the commandments of the Father of Truth, and overcome the world through faith in the Man of Truth (1 John 5:1-5).  Eternal life comes from making the Man of Truth the center of their life (1 John 5:11-12).  Lastly, that ye may believe on the name of the Man of Truth indicates that those, who already believe on the name of the Man of Truth, could stop doing so.  So, this verse has three conditions, including to never stop believing on the name of the Man of Truth.

We have went over all twenty-two of the most popular sets of verses, used to prove that the Father of Truth gives an unconditional promise of eternal security.  Not one single verse out of this entire set makes a promise of unconditional eternal security, when it is not taken out of context.  A few of the verses make absolutely no mention of anything resembling eternal security.  The rest of them all have conditions that must be met.  So, there are no verses that promise unconditional eternal security.

The verses that mention anything resembling eternal security, all contain conditions that are part of the evidence of faith.  There is no promise of eternal security without the works of faith.

This doctrine of unconditional eternal security is another example of the partial deception at work.  It is part of the Doctrine of Lies.

Can people stop meeting these conditions?

Some people will believe the Good News for a little while, and then stop believing when they fall into temptation (Luke 8:13).  People can turn their hearts back to the place of sin, after the Father of Truth has saved them from it (Acts 7:36-39).  People can escape the pollution of this world through the Man of Truth, and then go back into that pollution, ending up worse than they were before they came into the House of Truth (2 Peter 2:20-21).

People can turn aside from following the Man of Truth, and go back to following the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) (1 Timothy 5:15).  They can turn away from the very Children of Truth, who brought them the Good News (2 Timothy 1:13-15).  They can turn away from the sound doctrine found in the Word of Truth to follow after fables (2 Timothy 4:3-4).  They can turn from the truth, by giving heed to Jewish fables and the commandments of people (Titus 1:14).

People can swerve from faith, to turn aside to worthless words spoken by people, who do not understand the Law of Truth (1 Timothy 1:5-7).  People can shipwreck their faith by not maintaining a good conscience (1 Timothy 1:19).  People in the House of Truth can turn so far away from the Man of Truth, that it becomes impossible to bring them back to repentance (Hebrews 6:4-6).

It is not walking in truth to say, that people cannot turn away from the truth.

What if people stop meeting these conditions?

People cannot be saved by a dead faith that does not produce the evidence of faith (James 2:14-17).  They cannot continue in faith without continuing to produce the evidence of faith (James 2:18-20).  There is no justification by faith without producing the evidence of faith (James 2:21-24).  Their faith will become dead, if they stop producing the evidence of faith (James 2:25-26).

The Spirit of Truth can come upon people to carry out the will of the Father of Truth (1 Samuel 11:6-7).  The Spirit of Truth can then depart from them, if they turn from obeying the Father of Truth (1 Samuel 16:14).  The Spirit of Truth can be taken from people, who return to committing sin (Psalm 51:9-11).

People believe the Good News in vain, if they do not continue to remember the Good News (1 Corinthians 15:1-2).  The Children of Truth, who cast away their confidence, and not patiently endure, will not receive what the Father of Truth has promised them (Hebrews 10:35-36). 

People receive the grace of the Father of Truth in vain, if they do not start putting their faith into action (2 Corinthians 6:1-2).  They must carryout His command to separate themselves from those, who do not worship Him, if they want to be His children (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

The efforts to bring other people into the House of Truth will be in vain, if those people return to observing the same holidays from idolatry that they observed, before they knew the Father of Truth (Galatians 4:8-11).  These efforts will be in vain, if they give into the temptation of Father of Lies to leave the House of Truth (1 Thessalonians 3:5-6).

People will suffer in vain, if they start trying to get through their own efforts to keep the Law of Truth, what can only come from the Spirit of Truth through faith (Galatians 3:1-4).  People will fall from the grace of the Father of Truth, if they start seeking to be justified by the Law of Truth (Galatians 5:4). 

People will be robbed of what they have received, if human philosophies, deceit, and traditions, lead them towards the world, and away from the Man of Truth (Colossians 2:8).  They will be tricked out of their reward, if they let people lead them into bowing down in worship to angels (Colossians 2:18).

The Man of Truth will deny knowing before the Father of Truth, anyone who stops confessing that they know him before people (Matthew 10:32-33).  They must not be willing to deny him to avoid suffering, if they want to reign with him (2 Timothy 2:12).

The Father of Truth will not forgive anyone, who stops forgiving everyone that has done them wrong (Matthew 6:14-15).  He will hand them over to be tormented forever, if they do not forgive everyone from their heart (Matthew 18:34-35).

People who willfully return to sinning, after receiving the truth, will eventually reach the point that there is no hope of escaping eternal punishment (Hebrews 10:26-27).  People who trod down the Man of Truth, treat the blood that he shed on the cross as unholy, and despise the Spirit of Truth, will come back under the wrath of the Father of Truth (Hebrews 10:28-31).

Those who draw back from continuing to believe the Word of Truth will be destroyed, instead of being saved (Hebrews 10:38-39).  People will not escape the judgment of the Father of Truth, if they turn aside from following the Man of Truth (Hebrews 12:24-25).  They will be destroyed for losing their faith in the Father of Truth, after they have been saved (Jude 1:5).

So the Children of Truth will not be saved, unless they stay in the House of Truth.  Letting people believe that they can be saved, while living in rebellion to the Father of Truth, is hating them with the worst kind of hatred.
  
How can the Children of Truth have eternal security?

The Children of Truth have eternal security, if they persevere in putting the Word of Truth into action, until they keep producing the evidence of faith for the rest of their lives (Luke 8:11-15).  They will have eternal security, if they never surrender and they never give up (Galatians 6:9).

The Children of Truth can only avoid falling into sin, by constantly being on guard against falling into sin (1 Corinthians 10:11-13).  They have to constantly examine themselves to be sure, that they are still following the Man of Truth (2 Corinthians 13:5).  They have to work out their salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12).

The Children of Truth must not deceive themselves into believing, that they can defile themselves with sin, and not be destroyed by the Father of Truth (1 Corinthians 3:16-18).  They must not deceive themselves into believing, that they can be saved by hearing the Word of Truth, without doing what it says (James 1:21-25).  They must not deceive themselves into believing, that their religion will save them, if they do not show real love to other people, AND keep themselves separated from the world (James 1:26-27).

The Children of Truth must avoid deceivers, who lead people into doing things that are contrary to the Word of Truth (Romans 16:17-18).  They must not let deceivers convince them, that they can continue to do what the Father of Truth says is evil, and still be saved (Ephesians 5:5-7).  They must not let anyone deceive them into believing, that they can be righteous, without doing what the Law of Truth says is right (1 John 3:4-7).

The Children of Truth must not let themselves be deceived into believing, that they can continue in sin, and still be saved (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).  They must not let themselves be deceived into believing, that they can keep company with evil people and not be dragged into sin (1 Corinthians 15:33).  They must not let themselves be deceived into believing, that they can keep doing what the Father of Truth says is evil, and still be saved (Galatians 6:7-8).

It is how they end that determines their destination.  Eternal security is the result of living for the King all of their days.

What if one of the Children of Truth does sin?

The Man of Truth understands what it is like to be tempted, even though he never sinned, so they can come to him to mercy in full assurance (Hebrews 4:14-16).  He is their advocate to bring them back into right standing with the Father of Truth (1 John 2:1-2).  He will give them time to repent (Revelation 2:20-21).

If they do not repent, then they will be allowed to suffer the consequences of their sin (Revelation 2:22-23).  They will suffer for their disobedience because the Man of Truth loves them (Revelation 3:19).

If they do not correct themselves, then they will suffer correction from the Father of Truth, so that they can be saved (1 Corinthians 11:31-32).  He will give them a whipping to bring correction, because they are His children (Hebrews 12:5-8).  He will make Hell real to them, so that they do not go to Hell for real (Hebrews 12:9-11).

This correction might even include handing them over to the Father of Lies to suffer physically, so that they might repent of their sin and be saved (1 Corinthians 5:5).  They might be handed over to the Father of Lies to suffer, so that they learn to not sin (1 Timothy 1:20).

The Man of Truth will let the Children of Truth go through this cycle of committing sin, suffering for sin, repenting of sin, as many times as it takes for them to decide, that they have suffered enough, and are going to sin no more (Matthew 18:21-22).  He will rebuke them each time they sin, and forgive them each time AFTER they repent (Luke 17:3-4).

So the Children of Truth will experience the chastening of the Lord, which could include terrible diseases like cancer, if they go into sin and do not repent quickly.  The Father of Truth knows, that it is time for some tough love to bring them to repentance.  It is better that they suffer for a while on Earth, than to suffer forever in the Chamber of Horrors.

When does eternal security begin?

No one can have eternal security, without being born again of the Spirit of Truth (John 3:3-7).  They must be begotten again by the Father of Truth, before they can have eternal security (1 Peter 1:3).  They must be born again from the seed of the Word of Truth, before they can have eternal security (1 Peter 1:23).

So, eternal security begins with coming into the House of Truth.  It comes from taking the deal offered by the Father of Truth, and making a lifelong commitment of total surrender to the Man of Truth.  Eternal security becomes possible once people complete the One Step Program.  This is the simplicity of the Gospel.

Eternal security begins with making commitment to walk in all of the ways of the Man of Truth for all of your days, because you believe that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!

The Evidence Of Faith

When faith is a crime, will there be enough evidence to convict you?

There are undeniable patterns in history.  Empires go thru repeated cycles of events.  Once you study the history of enough empires, these cycles of events become obvious.  They become so obvious, that you can examine where an empire is at today, and know where it is going to be in the near future.  It is as the great historian Winston Churchill once said, "If there is one thing we can learn from history, it is that we do not learn from history.".

One of those patterns is, that when an empire begins to turn against the Jews, it will always turn against the Christians as well.  In like manner, when an empire turns against the Christians, it will always turn against the Jews as well.  The Spirit of Anti-Jewism and the Spirit of Antichrist always go hand-in-hand with each other.

Another pattern is, that an empire ran by Christians, will always be a haven to the Jews.  The real Christians will always stand up for the Jews.  They know who killed the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) - and that it was not the Jews!

Another pattern is, that an empire which welcomes the Jews in the beginning, will turn against them after about four hundred years.  This pattern began in ancient Egypt, and has been consistent ever since that time.  In the empires that were ran by Christians in their beginning, the Christians eventually stop running the empire.

We can see this pattern today in Great Britain.  The Jews were expelled from England in 1290 AD, but the prohibition effectively ended in 1640 AD, when it stopped being enforced due to the efforts of Christian Zionists.  Jews began to move back to England, where these Christian Zionists offered to help them move back to the Land of Israel to form their own country.  However, the Rabbis had no interest in the impossible dream of creating the impossible country in the impossible land.

After about 200 years, it was Christian Zionists in Great Britain, who put into motion the beginning of the next phase of the secret plan of the Greatest Zionist, for the Jews to be sent to the ends of the Earth and back again.  For about one hundred more years, they did their part in this global conspiracy by helping the impossible military, the impossible economy, the impossible healthcare, and the impossible government all become realities, so that the impossible people could live in the Promised Land once again.

Today, almost four hundred years after Jews were allowed to return, Great Britain has became increasingly against Jews and the country of Israel.  One of the reason is, that according to a recent survey in Great Britain, less than twenty percent of the people of Great Britain claimed to be Christian in more than just name only.  Another reason is that Islam has grown to account for about five percent of the population.  Neo-Paganism has also been growing rapidly, fueling the new antisemitism that is rising up in Great Britain, Europe, and America.  In like manner, there is growing resentment and persecution of Christians in Great Britain.

It is no different in America.

The first Jew known to immigrate to America came to Jamestown in 1619 AD.  When the Pilgrims started Plymouth Colony in 1621 AD, these Christian Zionists had a plan to create a haven in North America for Jews to escape persecution in Europe.  They literally made a covenant with the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) carved in stone to create a Christian nation.  The Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) was the basis for laws in America from its founding days.

Jews flocked to this haven during the colonial period.  They were treated well in the thirteen original colonies, and became an accepted part of American culture.  George Washington visited their synagogues, and Jews helped finance the American Revolution.

American Christian Zionists then made many contributions to reviving the nation of Israel over the next two hundred years.  They were much more supportive of the efforts to bring the impossible language back into use in the land of Israel than the Rabbis.  There was no doubt that America was a Christian nation that loved the Jewish people.  In fact, as late as 1986 AD, the US Supreme Court ruled that America was a Christian nation.

Today, things are very different in America, about 400 years after the first Jew arrived.  America is becoming increasingly against the Jews and the state of Israel, especially on college campuses where the future leaders of America are being educated.  One of the reasons is, that according to a recent survey in America, less than thirty percent of people in America claim to be Christians in more than name only.  (About seventy five percent claim to be Christians, when you include the False Church of Rome and those who follow the Book of Mormon.)  Islam has also grown to be a little over one percent of the population, which has added to this change in attitude.

The biggest factor has been the subtle influence of European immigrants and their descendants, since shortly after after the Civil War ended in 1865 AD.  They have successfully redefined what Christian means in America, to the point that most Americans do not even know what a Christian is any more.  This has left the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) in America feeling like they are drowning in a lukewarm sea.  It is evident that the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) is no longer the American Spirit.

This pattern invariable ends with Jews and Christians being persecuted.  This persecution results in the end of those empires like the death of the Celtic Tiger.  This coming persecution is what makes the death of America a certainty.

In the period of persecution, there are always laws created, which make being a real Christian or Jewish into crimes.  So, when faith is a crime, will there be enough evidence to convict you?

The evidence of faith begins with evidence that you actually love the Father of Truth and the Man of Truth.  This evidence of faith leads to all of the rest of the evidence of faith.

Loving the Father of Truth means obeying the commandments of the Father of Truth (1 John 5:2-3).

Hating evil means walking in the ways of the Father of Truth, and not keeping company with those, who do what He says is evil (Psalm 26:3-5).  It means to hate the same things that He hates (Proverbs 8:13).  It means to seek what He says is good, and not what He says is evil (Amos 5:14-15).

Faith in the Father of Truth that does not produce obedience to the Father of Truth cannot save anyone (James 2:14-17).  Obedience to the Father of Truth is proof of faith in the Father of Truth (James 2:18).  Even the Spirits of Lie (devils aka demons aka unclean spirits aka gods) believe in the existence of the Father of Truth (James 2:19).  It is useless to try to have faith in the Father of Truth, without obedience to the Father of Truth (James 2:20).  It is obedience to the Father of Truth, that comes from faith in the Father of Truth, which justifies people (James 2:21-24).  People are only saved by faith in the Father of Truth, when it produces obedience to the Father of Truth (James 2:25-26).

Believing the Father of Truth means, obeying the truth found in the Book of Truth (The Bible) through the Spirit of Truth, and sincerely loving the Children of Truth (1 Peter 1:21-22).

Trusting in the Father of Truth means, not trusting in yourself (2 Corinthians 1:9).  Trusting in Him means, not being self-sufficient (2 Corinthians 3:4-5).  Trusting in Him means, laboring for Him and suffering reproach for Him (1 Timothy 4:10).  Trusting in Him means, seeking Him to give you what you need (1 Timothy 5:5).  Trusting in Him means, not trusting in money, but giving your money away to take care of the needs of the Children of Truth (1 Timothy 6:17-19).

Wives who trust in Him, willing live in subjection to their husbands (1 Peter 3:1-6).

It is carrying out the purposes of the Father of Truth that makes people part of the Children of Truth (Mark 3:35).  Carrying out His purposes mean, living to carry out His will instead of your own will (1 Peter 4:1-2).

Carrying out His purposes mean, giving sacrificially so the Good News can be taken to others (2 Corinthians 8:2-5).  It means doing the absolute best job that you can for your employer, every single day (Ephesians 6:5-8).

Carrying out His purposes mean, using your body to accomplish His will, and living differently than those who do not know Him (Romans 12:1-2).  It means never engaging in sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5).

Carrying out His purposes mean, not seeking revenge, but rather doing good to all people at all times (1 Thessalonians 5:14-18).  It means being willing to suffer for doing His will (1 Peter 3:14-17).  It means being willing to suffer for being one of the Children of Truth (1 Peter 4:16-19).

Carrying out His purposes mean, never giving up and never surrendering to this world, so you can obtain the salvation that He has promised (Hebrews 10:35-39).  It means not loving this world, but doing His will, so you can live with Him forever (1 John 2:15-17).

No one can draw near to the Father of Truth by just saying they love Him, and then teaching the commandments of people instead of His commandments (Matthew 15:8-9).  The Children of Truth draw near to Him by assembling together, and encouraging each other to do the things that please Him (Hebrews 10:22-25).  They draw near to Him by mourning over sinning against Him, and asking for forgiveness (James 4:8-10).

It is the same with the Man of Truth.

Living for the Man of Truth means, making him your lord (Romans 14:7-9).  It is your entire reason for existing on this Earth (Philippians 1:20-21).  It will always lead to suffering persecution for him (2 Timothy 3:10-12).

The Man of Truth is only Lord of those, who do the will of the Father of Truth (Matthew 7:21).  He is only the Lord of those, who do what he commands (Luke 6:46).

To love the Man of Truth is to keep his commandments (John 14:15).  There is no loving the Man of Truth without keeping his commandments (John 14:21).  The only way to continue to love the Man of Truth, is to continue to keep his commandments (John 15:9-10).

Believing on the Man of Truth means, continuing to live life in accordance with his words (John 8:30-32).  Believing in him means, being obedient to the commandments found in the Word of Truth (1 Peter 2:5-8).

Faith in the Man of Truth is proven by doing what is honest, instead of what is evil (2 Corinthians 13:5-8).  It means no longer living to fulfill your own desires, but living to fulfill his desires (Galatians 2:20).  It means walking in his ways (Colossians 2:5-7).  It results in keeping the commandments of the Father of Truth (Revelation 14:12).

Faith in the Man of Truth only works by exhibiting the love of the Man of Truth (Galatians 5:6). It is always accompanied by his love (Ephesians 6:23).  It produces love that other people notice (Colossians 1:4-8).  It makes you an example of his love (1 Thessalonians 1:3-7).  It means showing love to the Children of Truth (Philemon 1:5-7).

Trusting the Man of Truth means, trusting him to make decisions for you (1 Corinthians 16:7).  This means trusting him with your plans and future (Philippians 2:19-24).  This means being free from the fear of death (Hebrews 2:13-15).

Those who will see the Man of Truth, are those who strive to keep their lives pure from sin (1 John 3:1-3).  It is those, who avoid transgressing the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law), that see the Man of Truth (1 John 3:4-6).

Those who hear the Man of Truth, do not harden theirs hearts against him, but instead learn to walk in his ways (Hebrews 3:6-10).  They avoid being deceived by sin into departing from the Father of Truth, but instead hold on to their confidence in the Man of Truth until the end (Hebrews 3:12-14).

Those who hear the Man of Truth, are those who follow him (John 10:3-6).  

Following the Man of Truth means, putting him in front of everyone else, and being willing to lose your life for him (Matthew 10:35-39).  It means denying yourself what you want, in order to do what he wants, even if that means dying (Matthew 16:24-25).  It means serving him, even if that means dying (John 12:25-26).

Following the Man of Truth might mean closing your business, and leaving your family (Matthew 4:19-22).  It might mean giving up all of your wealth (Matthew 19:21).  It might mean forsaking everything else in your life (Matthew 19:27).  It might mean quitting your job, and losing your position of authority (Luke 5:27-28).

There are other things that come from the Word of Truth, which serve as evidence of faith.  These other things align with those things that pertain to the Father of Truth and the Man of Truth.

The Children of Truth hear the Word of Truth and do what it says (Luke 8:21).  They do not keep company with those who call themselves the Children of Truth, but do not obey the Word of Truth (2 Thessalonians 3:14-15).  They withdraw themselves from anyone, who teaches anything contrary to the Word of Truth (1 Timothy 6:3-5).  They study the Word of Truth to correctly understand it (2 Timothy 2:15).  They do what is written in the Word of Truth, and are not deceived into only hearing it (James 1:22-25).

Believing the Word of Truth means, striving to live in a manner worthy of the Father of Truth, even if that means suffering to do so (1 Thessalonians 2:12-14).  

There is no believing the Good News without repenting from disobedience to the Father of Truth (Mark 1:14-15).  There is no remission of sins without repentance (Luke 24:47).  There is no blotting out of sins without repentance (Acts 3:19).  There is no faith in the Man of Truth without repenting to the Father of Truth (Acts 20:21).  There is no escaping from the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) without acknowledging the truth about sin and repenting (2 Timothy 2:25-26).  Repenting from the actions that lead to death, is the cornerstone of the foundation of the doctrine of the Man of Truth (Hebrews 6:1).

The Father of Truth grants the opportunity for you to repent, so you might experience eternal life (Acts 11:18).  He commands people to repent, once they know that they have sinned (Acts 17:30).  There is no repentance without changing how you live (Acts 26:20).  There is to be no going back from this change in how you live, after you repent from sin (2 Corinthians 7:10).

The second greatest commandment in the Law of Truth is to love people (Matthew 22:37-40).  Anyone who loves other people will not sin against them through disobedience to the Law of Truth (Romans 13:8-10).  They will fulfill the Law of Truth by serving the Children of Truth (Galatians 5:13-14).

The Father of Truth commands, that the Children of Truth love each other, as well as believe in the Man of Truth (1 John 3:22-24).  No one can know Him, if they do not love the Children of Truth (1 John 4:7-12).

It is loving the Children of Truth, that proves you are following the Man of Truth (John 13:34-35).  It is his commandment, that we love the Children of Truth to the point of laying down our lives for each other (John 15:12-13).  It is loving the Children of Truth, that makes us his friend (John 15:14-17).

The Children of Truth have genuine love for each other (Romans 12:9-10).  Those who love the Children of Truth, will overlook their faults in the pursuit of unity and peace (Ephesians 4:2-3).  There is no obeying the Word of Truth, without having genuine love for the Children of Truth (1 Peter 1:22).

This means distributing our goods to the Children of Truth, who lack anything (Romans 12:13).   We are to distribute our goods to the Children of Truth in need, because of the unspeakable gift that the Father of Truth has given us (2 Corinthians 9:12-15).  Those who have faith in the Man of Truth, take action to take care of the Children of Truth (James 2:15-17).  It sharing what we have to take care of the Children of Truth, that proves we love them like the Father of Truth (1 John 3:16-18).

Good works are evidence of faith that all can see (Matthew 5:14-16).  We are not to grow weary of doing good, but are to do good to everyone, especially the Children of Truth (Galatians 6:9-10).  Good works are the result of believing the Word of Truth (2 Timothy 3:15-17).   Good works put to silence all accusations of evil (Titus 2:7-8).  It is being zealous to do good works, that shows you have been saved by faith in the Man of Truth (Titus 2:11-14).

One of the strongest evidence of faith is persevering in following the Man of Truth through tribulation (Acts 14:22).  It is persevering through tribulation, which shows that the love of the Father of Truth is in our hearts (Romans 5:2-5).  The Children of Truth will never let tribulation stop them from serving the Man of Truth (Romans 12:11-12).  They stay faithful in the midst of tribulation, because the Father of Truth comforts them (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).  Their faith in the Man of Truth, and their love for the Children of Truth, only grow stronger when they go through tribulation (2 Thessalonians 1:3-5).  They are fearless in tribulation, and faithful unto death, because they believe that the Man of Truth will give them a crown of life (Revelation 2:9-10).

They are not afraid to suffer with him, because they know that their suffering cannot compare to the glory that they will receive for doing so (Romans 8:15-18).  They know that suffering for him means, that they will reign with him (2 Timothy 2:12).  Their faith will cause them to choose suffering for the Children of Truth to gain what the Man of Truth offers, over experiencing pleasure to gain what the world offers (Hebrews 11:24-26).  Their suffering brings glory to the Father of Truth, and they experience great joy in the midst of their trial, because they believe the Man of Truth will reward them, when he returns in his glory (1 Peter 4:12-14).

The Man of Truth consoles them when they share in his suffering (2 Corinthians 1:5-7).  When they suffer wrongfully for doing what the Father of Truth says is right, then they are truly following the Man of Truth (1 Peter 2:19-21).  They are never ashamed to suffer as a Christian, because they have faith in the Father of Truth (1 Peter 4:16-19).  They suffer in resisting the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil), because they know that this will make them more like the Man of Truth (1 Peter 5:8-10).

Those with faith rejoice when they suffer for the name of the Man of Truth, and never let it keep them from telling others about him (Acts 5:40-42).  Their suffering for telling others the Good News of the Man of Truth, is evidence of their faith in the Man of Truth (Philippians 1:27-29).  They will never let suffering stop them from telling others the Good News (1 Thessalonians 2:2).

The Children of Truth know, that they are blessed when they endure persecution for doing what pleases the Father of Truth, because they will be rewarded like the Prophets of Truth (Matthew 5:10-12).  Their faith in the Man of Truth causes them to show love to those, who persecute them (Matthew 5:44).  They know that persecution is evidence that they have faith in the Man of Truth (John 15:18-21).  Persecution only makes their faith stronger (2 Corinthians 12:10).

So, when faith is a crime, will there be enough evidence to convict you?

Where does the evidence of faith come from?

This evidence comes from reading the Book of Truth.  It comes from learning how to rightly divide the Word of Truth.  It comes from being taught the Doctrine of Truth.  It comes from learning how to hear the Spirit of Truth.  It is made stronger by producing the sound of power.  It comes from daily walking in truth.

This evidence comes from believing the Good News about the Man of Truth.  It come from loving his forever family.  It comes from not losing sight of the most important thing.  It comes from the knowledge that bringing people into the House of Truth, is all that really matters.

This evidence comes from being convinced, that not warning people to turn from sin, is hating them with the worst kind of hatred.  It comes from not being afraid to be a friend of sinners.  It comes from a desire to save sinners from the burning house, which they are living in.  It comes from wanting to keep people out of the Chamber of Horrors.
 
This evidence comes being convince of the return of the King to rule this Earth.  It comes from knowing, that he will give each of the Children of Truth a permanent job in his kingdom, based on their faithfulness to do what he has told them to do.  It comes from heeding the warning of "People Get Ready!".  It comes from knowing that they are literally better off dead.  It comes from being unafraid to give the last full measure of devotion.

This evidence comes from a decision to stay in the House of Truth at all times.  It comes from heroic resolve to persevere through all circumstances.  It comes from being convinced that resistance is essential.  It comes from understanding that adversity is often the waters of salvation for the Children of Truth.  It comes from understanding that it is how you end that matters the most.

The evidence of faith begins to build up when you complete the one step program.  It begins with taking the deal offered by the Father of Truth - coming to the Man of Truth in total surrender.  There is no evidence of faith until you come into the House of Truth.

Come into the House of Truth by surrendering control of your life to the Man of Truth, because you believe the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).  So, when faith is a crime, there will be enough evidence to convict you  (2 Corinthians 3:2-3).

Come into the House of Truth!

An Eternal Possession

Who obtains salvation as an eternal possession?

I recently heard a Bible teacher, who I greatly respect, talk about salvation as an eternal possession during his verse by verse teaching on several books of the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament).  His teaching on this subject was basically this:

Eternal life is not eternal, if a person can lose their salvation by turning away from the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ).  Eternal life is an eternal possession that is given by the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD), so it cannot be lost.  Therefore, no one can lose salvation, once they are born again.

While there is no doubt that salvation is an eternal possession, none of the verses that he went over actually say that salvation becomes an eternal possession when someone is born again.  So the meaning of salvation being an eternal possession really hinges on one question:

Who obtains salvation as an eternal possession?

Salvation is not the only thing that has been promised as an eternal possession.  The Land of Israel was also promised as an eternal possession.  The key to understanding the method used to determine who obtains salvation as an eternal possession is understanding the method used to determine who obtains the Promised Land as an eternal possession.

The things that have happened to the physical descendants of Israel are examples, so that the Called Out Ones (Eklesia aka The Church) can understand how the Father of Truth deals with them (1 Corinthians 10:11). 

So, who was the Promised Land promised to as an eternal possession?

The Promised Land was promised to the descendants of Abraham (Abram) when he first arrived in the land (Genesis 12:5-7).  The Father of Truth promised that his descendants would be exceedingly great in number and that the Promised Land would be their eternal possession (Genesis 13:15-18).  The Father of Truth established the boundaries of the Promised Land with Abraham (Genesis 15:18-21).  This land was to be an eternal possession for those who were given the eternal seal of circumcision in their flesh (Genesis 17:7-13).

The Father of Truth promised Isaac (Yitzchaq), the son of Abraham, that his descendants would receive the Promised Land as an eternal possession, if he would stay in the Promised Land (Genesis 26:1-3).  Isaac remained in the Promised Land, and then gave the Promised Land to Israel (Yah'acov aka Jacob) and his descendants (Genesis 28:1-4).

The Father of Truth then confirmed that Israel and his descendants would indeed receive the Promised Land (Genesis 28:13-14).  The Father of Truth later confirmed that the Promised Land would belong to the descendants of Israel (Genesis 35:10-12).  The Father of Truth gave the Promised Land to the descendants of Israel as an eternal possession (Genesis 48:3-4).

Yet, it should be obvious that not all of the descendants of Israel have obtained the Promised Land as an eternal possession.

Four generations of the descendants of Israel died in Egypt without obtaining the Promised Land as an eternal possession (Genesis 15:13-16).  Only two of the generation that came out of Egypt even entered the Promised Land (Numbers 14:28-30).

Even when the next generation finished fighting to take possession of the Promised Land, they did not possess most of it (Joshua 13:1-6).  Later, King David took the northern most strip of the Promised Land, but no where near all of the Promised Land (1 Chronicles 18:3).  The closest that the descendants of Israel ever got to obtaining the entire Promised Land was under the reign of Solomon, who added the entire coastal strip along the Mediterranean Sea to what King David possessed, but they still never possessed all of the Promised Land (2 Chronicles 7:8).

Afterwards, the descendants of Israel who lived in the northern kingdom of Israel, lost all of the Promised Land that they had possessed (2 Kings 17:5-6).  Later, the descendants of Israel who lived in the southern kingdom of Judah, lost all of the Promised Land that they had possessed (2 Kings 25:21).

Seventy years later, a few of the descendants of Israel returned to the the southern kingdom of Judah to possess a small part of the Promised Land (Ezra 2:1).  By the time the Man of Truth began his ministry, the descendants of Israel still did not possess close to all of the Promised Land, and were dominated by Gentiles in the parts that they did possess (Luke 3:1).

About a hundred years later, the descendants of Israel who lived in the Promised Land were scattered by the Romans to all of the nations throughout the Roman Empire (Luke 21:20-24).

Then the descendants of Israel became scattered to the far ends of the Earth (Deuteronomy 28:63-64).  The Father of Truth did not bring them back to begin possessing the Promised Land again for about seventeen hundred years (Ezekiel 11:17).

Even today, the descendants of Israel only possess about ten percent of the Promised Land.  There has never been a time when all the descendants of Israel have possessed the entire Promised Land as an eternal possession.  Why is this?

The Father of Truth made this promise to Abraham to give the Promised Land to his descendants, because he had obeyed Him and believed His promises (Genesis 15:5-7).  The Father of Truth promised to give this land to his descendants, because of his obedience and faith (Genesis 24:7).  Abraham was given this promise, because he obeyed the laws and commandments of the Father of Truth (Genesis 26:3-5).  Abraham was given this promise, because he obeyed the Father of Truth by faith in the Father of Truth (Hebrews 11:8-9).

So, the Father of Truth gave this promise to Abraham that his descendants would be given the Promised Land as an eternal possession, because he had walked in all of His ways for all of his days.

The Father of Truth made this promise to Abraham, because He knew that Abraham would command his descendants to obey Him, so He could give them this eternal possession (Genesis 18:19).

The descendants of Abraham would possess the Promised Land when they obeyed the commandments of the Father of Truth, but would be vomited out of the land when they refused to so (Leviticus 20:22-24).  When a generation of the descendants of Israel turned against the Father of Truth and did what He said was wrong in the Law of Truth, even after the descendants of Israel had lived in the Promised Land for many years, then those descendants of Israel would be cast out of the Promised Land and scattered among the nations to live as an oppressed minority (Deuteronomy 4:25-27).  The descendants of Israel could only obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession by continually living in obedience to the Father of Truth (Deuteronomy 4:31-33).  The descendants of Israel could only keep the Promised Land all their days by living in obedience to the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) all of their days (Deuteronomy 12:1).  The descendants of Israel had to live in obedience like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in order to obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession (Deuteronomy 30:19-20).

So, this possession of the Promised Land was conditional upon obedience that came from faith in the Father of Truth.  The descendants of Israel would obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession when they continued to walk in all of His ways for all of their days.

Did they ever meet these conditions?

Most of the first generation of the descendants of Israel sought to kill their brother, but instead sold him to the Gentiles (Genesis 37:17-28).  So, the descendants of Israel were forced out of the Promised Land and into Egypt (Genesis 46:5-7).

While the descendants of Israel were in Egypt, they turned even further from the Father of Truth, so that they could not return to the Promised Land (Joshua 24:14).

The descendants of Israel that came out of Egypt did not possess any part of the Promised Land, because they did not obey the Father of Truth (Joshua 5:6).  They did not enter into His rest, because they would not walk in His ways (Psalm 95:10-11).  They did not enter into His rest, because they did refused to believe the Father of Truth (Hebrews 3:17-19).

Later, the descendants of Israel in the northern kingdom of Israel were cast out of the Promised land by the Assyrians for the same reasons (2 Kings 17:7-18).  Afterwards, the rest of the descendants of Israel in the southern kingdom of Judah were cast out of the Promised Land by the Babylonians for the same reasons (2 Chronicles 36:14-20).  Finally, the returning descendants of Israel in the later kingdom of Judaea were cast out of the Promised Land by the Romans for the same reasons (Luke 21:12-19).

The descendants of Israel never met these conditions, so they have never obtained the Promised Land as an eternal possession.

Yet, the Father of Truth promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that the descendants of Israel would obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession (Deuteronomy 1:8).  However, He cannot do this until the descendants of Israel meet these conditions (Jeremiah 11:3-5).

He will yet do this, because they will meet these conditions in the future (Ezekiel 37:21-25).  This promise has happened in part up to today, but will happen in full when the Man of Truth returns (Acts 1:6-7).

The descendants of Israel will be able to do meet these conditions, when they return to Him and He circumcises their hearts (Deuteronomy 30:2-8).  They will be able to meet these conditions, because He will replace their stony hearts with hearts of flesh that can obey Him (Ezekiel 11:17-20).  They will be able to meet these conditions, because He will put the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) in them (Ezekiel 36:24-28).  All of the descendants of Israel will be saved, when the Man of Truth drives ungodliness out of them (Romans 11:25-27).

So, the descendants of Israel as a group will obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession, but not every individual born as a descendant of Israel will obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession.

Those born as descendants of Israel, but have refused to walk in the ways of the Father of Truth, have been cut off from being part of the descendants of Israel (Leviticus 18:26-29).  Only a remnant of those born as descendants of Israel will remain a part of the descendants of Israel who obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession (Isaiah 10:20-22).  Not every one who was born as a descendant of Israel remains a descendant of Israel (Romans 9:3-6).

Even when those born as descendants of Israel are gathered by the Man of Truth, only those who will surrender to him as their king will remain part of the descendants of Israel (Ezekiel 20:33-38).  Only those who remain as part of the descendants of Israel will obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession (Ezekiel 20:40-42).

So everyone in the group will obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession.  Being born into the group only makes the individual a candidate to be part of those who obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession.  Those individuals who do not meet the conditions will be removed from the group.  The group that obtains the Promised Land as an eternal possession is composed only those individuals who are willing to walk in all of His ways for all of their days.

It is exactly the same with the Called Out Ones.

Just as people must be born as a descendant of Israel to part of that group, so must people must be born again as one of the Called Out Ones to be part of this group (John 3:3-5).  The Spirit of Truth is given to everyone in this group as an assurance, that this group will obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Ephesians 1:11-14).  The Man of Truth gave his own blood so it would be possible for this group to obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Hebrews 9:12-15).  This group will not obtain salvation as an eternal possession until the Man of Truth returns (1 Peter 1:3-5).

The Called Out Ones must avoid being deceived into believing, that they can obtain salvation as an eternal possession without obeying the commandments of the Father of Truth (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).  Anyone among the Called Out Ones, who refuses to obey the laws of the Father of Truth, will not obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Galatians 5:19-21).  They must not let anyone deceive them into believing that they can live in disobedience to the Father of Truth, and still obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Ephesians 5:5-6).

It is only those among the Called Out Ones, who obey the Man of Truth that will obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Colossians 3:23-25).  It is only those among the Called Out Ones, who are diligent to carry out the will of the Father of Truth until the end that will obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Hebrews 6:10-12).  It is only those among the Called Out Ones, who overcome disobedience to the Father of Truth that obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Revelation 21:6-8).

The Father of Truth will remove from the Called Out Ones, everyone who will not walk in His ways, like He has done with the descendants of Israel (Romans 11:20-22).  Every individual among the Called Out Ones that turns from following the Man of Truth in obedience, will be removed from the group (Hebrews 12:22-25).

This is why the Man of Truth said, that only those who endure being hated by others until the end, will obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Matthew 10:21-22).  In these days leading up to the Tribulation, it is the only those Called Out Ones, who avoid being deceived by Prophets of Lies, and do not let their love for the Man of Truth grow cold, that will obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Matthew 24:11-14).

It is only those who remain in the House of Truth until the end, that will be part of the group to obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Hebrews 3:5-6).  It is only those who do not depart from the Father of Truth, and remain in the House of Truth until the end, that will be part of the group to obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Hebrews 3:12-14). 

For this reason, the Called Out Ones are warned to fear the Father of Truth, who can cast them into Hell, if they let the fear of people keep them from proclaiming the Good News (Matthew 10:26-28).  They should be afraid to not continue to believe the Word of Truth, because that will cause them to fall short of obtaining salvation as an eternal possession (Hebrews 4:1-3).  They must serve the Father of Truth with reverent fear to remain in the group (Hebrews 12:26-29).

The Called Out Ones are warned to rebuke those who sin among them, so the rest of them will be afraid to sin (1 Timothy 5:20-22).  They are told to work out their salvation through continual obedience with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12)  They must help each other remain afraid of sinning, so that they can all obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Jude 1:21-23).

So everyone in the group will obtain salvation as an eternal possession. Being born again into the group only makes the individual a candidate to be part of those who obtain salvation as an eternal possession.  Those individuals who do not meet the conditions will be removed from the group.  The group that obtains salvation as an eternal possession is composed only those individuals who are willing to walk in all of His ways for all of their days.

So, you must stay in the House of Truth to obtain salvation as an eternal possession.  It is not how you begin, but it is how you end that determines if you obtain salvation as an eternal possession.  It is how you live between when you come into the House of Truth and when you leave this Earth to meet the Man of Truth that determines your permanent job.

You can obtain salvation as an eternal possession!  

You can learn how to be a winner and overcome the power of the dark side.  You do not have to continue plowing a crooked furrow.  You can be free from the monster within.

If you will come into the House of Truth, then the Father of Truth will put the Spirit of Truth in you, so that His commandments are written on your heart to make you able to obey them.

Coming into the House of Truth is a simple one-step program.  You just need to take the deal of total surrender that makes it possible for you to obtain salvation as an eternal possession.

You come into the House of Truth by surrendering control of every aspect of your life to the Man of Truth, because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!
