Hey Guys I didnt know that I could check my spellling. THs is going to help trmendusly. :):):):):p :(

Living Forever In A State of Sin

Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden tree. They became sinners seperated from God. God cast them out of the garden. He place two angels at the gate to keep them from eating of the tree of life and living forever.

If Adam and Eve would have eaten of the tree of life after they fell into sin, would they have lived forever in a sinful state?

I have heard preachers declare this from the pulpit.!

Mission Work and the "Reverter Clause"

Lets talk mission work. The following is a smal list of questions and comments, not that any are my own oppinions and views, but just somethings that make some curious.

1. Is a mission a church? Why or Why not

2. Who holds the membership of those who attend the mission?

3. Can a sponsoring church overide the decisions of the mission? If yes, is this universalism

4. Can a mission observe the Lord's Supper?

5. Can they travel to the sponsoring church and observe it there?

6. Where does the missionary keep his membership?
a. If with the sponsoring church, can he partake in the Lord's table if the Mission observes it?

7. When does a misison become a church? what is the deciding factor

8. What does the reverter clause do?

9. (Parenthetic) If we practice local visible church then why are our presberties universal?

10. Does this missionary have the authority to veto any motion made by the mission?

The Saved who did not believe Jesus was the Messiah?

I am an advocate of the doctrine of security of the believer. I believe the Bible teaches that salvation has always been by grace through faith. I also believe that the doctrine of security of the believer has always been a part of God's plan. The Old Testament saints, when saved, were secure just as we are today.

Here is the question. Could there have been those present in the times of Jesus who had been saved, but didnt beleive Jesus was the promissed Messiah?

Example: The 70 year old Hebrew, who had been saved for many years, while sitting in his house his wife comes in and says, "They are crucifying that man called Jesus today". The man replys, "Well He claimed to be the Messiah, I guess He wasnt. We will keep looking"

This man was saved but didnt beleive that Jesus was the promissed Messiah.

COULD THIS HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE IN THAT DAY???????

One more question for you guys--Did the Jews have to believe in the Death Burial and Resurrection of Christ to be saved? (Pre D-B-R)

Bring what you got boys--When you are finished with all the jargon I will lay it one you.
