Almost saved- so near and yet so far
So near and yet so far.
Power went out a couple weeks ago so I went by the local Dennys to grab a bite and read.
Even from a distance the family which walked in was obviously Apostolic.
The mother and daughter had long hair to the middle of their backs, and the man was dressed nice and with a long sleeved shirt.
I instantly felt that rush when you unexpectedly come across a fellow Apostolic.
Then they got closer.
First the light caught the small diamond earrings mom was wearing, as the man got closer and I was able to see full profile I noticed he was sporting a mustache, and to top it all off when the daughter went by even though her hair was to the middle of her back it was obvious she had trimmed it in a straight line.
So near and yet so far.
Unfortunately there is no such thing as almost saved

Re: Almost saved- so near at yet so far
And then again, there is no such thing as salvation by works either.

No there is no salvation by works, but there are works AFTER salvation.
Show me your faith without your works and I will show you
My faith by my works...
Or as it says in the NIV James 2:18
But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. Faith without works is dead
Who can be saved with dead faith?

Your words betray your last posting. Your salvation is by works, not works following salvation. So many live without grace.

Works don't save anybody.
Disobedience will ........ anybody.

Uuhhh...I'm thinking he DID fill in the blanks...and AFF's auto-corrector replaced it with the dots. It was obviously a word we don't allow to be posted here.
Guess you don't know AFF as well as you thought, eh?

I did fill in the blank, and I guess a friendly admin edited it.
I wasn't aware that the word "........" used in the Biblical context was considered inappropriate.
My bad.
