And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Romans 11:6
All who trust in their own works to Save them or to keep them Saved, cancel out the GRACE of GOD!
When one Believes unto Salvation they are Eternally Saved!
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2Timothy 2:15

THE PETRIFIED SAINT AND TWO SAINT PAUL’S
Amos 9: 11 ¶ In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: 12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this. 13 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. 14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. 15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God. Some messengers of the Lord, who have not carefully compared the difference of the first mission and ministry of the Holy Spirit, in Acts 5:32, with the work of the Holy Spirit in I Corinthians 12:13, have erroneously taught that the ‘JOINT-BODY’ of Ephesians 3:6 began when the Holy Spirit fell on the day of Pentecost, because Paul said three times he persecuted the CHURCH OF GOD. (I Corinthians 15:9, Philippians 3:6, Galatians 1:13). They know that the Church of God of Hebrews 2:12 and Psalm 22:22 and Acts 7:38 is not the BODY of Christ. Therefore they should know that while the BODY OF CHRIST is the CHURCH OF GOD, the CHURCH OF GOD is not necessarily the unprophesied BODY OF CHRIST. Paul, as Saul, did not persecute the 'JOINT-BODY' of Ephesians 3:6, for Peter tells us, that for several years after Saul was converted it was unlawful to preach to Gentiles. (Acts 10:28). Let us not be angry or grieved when the Word of God, rightly divided, spoils our much, cherished religious program; but let us go on to perfection (Hebrews 5:11 to 6:3), and know that ‘the dispensation of the mystery’ which God wants every saint to see (Ephesians 3:9) did not begin with Peter and Pentecost; but with Paul before he wrote his first Epistle. (I Thessalonians 2:14 to 16). Let us permit the Holy Spirit to teach us the significance of the dispensational miracle of Acts 13:5 to 14, and the great change which began when Saul became SAINT PAUL and SERGIUS became SAINT PAUL. Compare the last words of Acts 3:21 and Romans 16:25—a great contrast—for the application of II Timothy 2:15. Acts 3: 21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. Romans 16: 25 ¶ Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, Click Link to read the entire article. It is very good, indeed. |
