Who then can be lost?
 
Jesus after teaching was asked "Who then can be saved." Mt.19:25 But on AFF then question is who can be lost. Baptism not essential, tongues a maybe, suck cigarettes and have the HGB, church attendance optional, no tithe paying, pastor is an abomination. Nothing is essential and anything is okay. It is impossible to be lost.

Brother Epley, the way I look at it is that we are ALL spirutally and morally bankrupt. We all are lost. But for the Grace of God. At least that is how I feel about myself.

I choose not to engage in sin because it separates my communion with the Lord and the preservation of my family, not because an organization says this or that is a sin. I cannot rely on the moral foundations of any group that has preservation as its foremost priority.

I want to please God, but I know in my flesh, there is absolutely no way.


...sounds kind of counterintuitive doesn't it?

Some people can't handle their sacred cows challenged. To say that someone who smoked my -be saved, is met with a mighty "so all Muslims and followers of mighty Isis are as well huh?!" rebuke.

Based on your posts, everyone is lost but that small group of people who line up with your beliefs. Congratulations. You've arrived.

Makes you wonder how long before the "gospel of inclusion" ,preached by Carlton Pearson and others, starts creeping into Apostolic churches.
