IntroductionThese doctrinal studies are
presented in outline format only. Each verse is presented along
with a brief statement of what to look for in the verse. The
intention is that the reader will diligently look up each verse and
come to an understanding of what the Bible teaches on each subject.
The
original work these studies were derived from was developed by
missionary friends of the church, including Bill Kincaid and Michael
Jackson (Workmans Study Bible), and Brent Riggs. Please be sure to visit their pages.

E. Verses
twisted to imply that we might finally perish
*************
Some
insist that our salvation depends on our being faithful, and
quote
the following:
Jam. 2.14-26 Faith
without works is dead
In
God's eyes we are justified by faith without works, but our faith is
justified
before men by our works. (Rom. 4.1-6)
Psa.
51.11 Cast me not away,
take not thy Holy Spirit from me.
The
Spirit did not yet dwell in men, and was given only to be taken
away
shortly. (Exo. 31.3, Num. 11.29, 24.2, 1
Sa. 10.10, 11.6,
16.14,
19.23, 2 Ch. 15.1, John 14.23, Acts 1.8, 8.16, Rom. 8.9)
Eze.
33.12 Righteousness not
deliver in day of transgression.
We
do not trust that our righteousness could ever deliver us. One's
own
righteousness is not even remembered when he falls in sin.
Mat.
10.22, 24.13, Mark 13.13 That endures
to the end shall be saved
He
that endures alive to the end of the tribulation, his flesh shall be
saved. (Mat. 24.3,6,14,22, Dan. 12.12)
John
15.2,6 Beareth not fruit he
taketh away, cast into the fire
The
vine symbolizes Israel, God was pruning and purging it. The
Jews
that rejected Christ did not remain in Jehovah either, were
taken
away and cast into the fire. (Psa. 80.8,
Isa. 3.14, 5.7,
Jer.
2.21, Hos. 10.1, Joel 1.7)
Rom.
11.20-22 Heed lest he spare not
thee, thou also shalt cut off
Heb.
3.6,14 Whose house are we if
hold fast confidence unto end
Heb.
6.4-6 If they shall fall
away, it is impossible to renew them
That
generation of Jews did not abide in the Lord.
They were made
partakers
of the Holy Ghost (When the Lord healed them in his
ministry,
and when the Spirit fell at Pentecost), and yet they still fell
away. They would have been made the "house of
God" had they
held
fast. Someday the Jews will believe, and
the Gentiles will be
cut
off. (Rom. 11.1,8,11,25, Heb. 4.1,7-9, 8.8, 12.16,17)
Heb.
10.26-31 If we sin, no more
sacrifice, but looking for judgment
The
Jews are the people of God, were sanctified by the "blood of the
covenant,"
and are his "adversaries." No
Christian is an adversary.
2 Pe.
2.20-22 After escaped, if
overcome, the latter end is worse
The
"dog" returns to it's vomit, not the Christian. These are false
brethren.
1 Jo.
5.16 There is a sin unto
death
Death
of the flesh, not of the spirit. (1 Co. 5.5)
Rev. 2.5 I will remove thy
candlestick except thou repent
Speaking
to the angel, not the Christian, the candlestick is not our
eternal
life.
Rev. 3.5 I will not blot out his
name out of the book of life
Rev.
22.19 I will take away his
part out of the book of life
Every
believer has overcome by faith in Christ, and cannot be blotted
out. (1 Jo. 5.4,5). The book of life has at least three
parts...the book
of
the living, names blotted at death, (Exo. 32.32,33, Deu. 9.14,
29.20,
Psa. 69.28, Isa. 4.3, Eze. 13.9)...The book of the elect, written
from
the foundation of the world, and never can be blotted out,
(Luke
10.20, Heb. 12.23, Rev. 13.8, 17.8, 20.15, 21.27)...And the
book
of rewards, (Psa. 56.8, Isa. 65.6, Mal.
3.16, Rev. 22.19)...The
part
that can be taken away is the reward.
(Rev. 22.12, 1 Co. 3.14,
Col 2.18, 2 Jo. 8, Rev. 3.11)
