Вы уверены, что будете с Господом и Его народом навеки?

На протяжении многих лет каждое утро я смотрел Newsmax перед тем, как пойти на работу. Неожиданно, этот канал перестал транслироваться нашим провайдером. Сегодня утром я посмотрел Fox News. Брайан Килмеад брал интервью у архиепископа Нью Йорка кардинала Долана. Беседа велась по случаю страстной пятницы. Концовка интервью меня поразила. Килмеад спросил Долана, надеялся ли он стать […]

È eterna la vita eterna?

Chris, dalla Virginia dell’Ovest, ci ha fatto una domanda importante: Mi sono ritrovato a cercare su Google, “Come si traduce vita eterna in greco?” e sono finito in un forum Quora dove qualcuno aveva fatto la stessa domanda. La prima risposta…che ho trovato, non solo era preoccupante, ma anche confusa. La vita eterna NON significa […]

How many eschatological judgments are there in the Bible

In Part 1, I discussed three judgments that will take place when the Lord returns: The Great White Throne Judgment (Rev 20:11-15); The Judgment Seat of Christ (1 Cor 3:12-15; 2 Cor 5:10; Rom 14:10); and The Judgment of the Sheep and the Goats (Matt 25:31-46). These three judgments are the easiest to identify because […]

你如何定义行为救恩的异端?

约翰看到了我写的一篇关于信徒从恩典中堕落的博客。他问了这个问题: “我在你的一篇文章「见这里」中看到你在谈论行为救恩异端。你认为天主教是一个行为救恩异端吗?” 几乎所有的异端都拒绝因信称义——即使他们正式表示同意。问题是,什么是异端? 花些时间列出你认为是异端的5到10个特征。 我会说出我列出来的内容,你可以和你自己的列表对照。 异端是有以下特征的团体: 1他们拒绝信仰的一个或多个基本原则(特别是唯独因信称义)。 2一个人或一个团体领袖实行绝对的控制。 3他们把其他经卷参杂进《圣经》。 4他们经常宣传领袖得到的特别启示。 5提倡在《圣经》中找不到的特殊教义和实践。 6成员们毫无疑问地接受领袖说的任何话。独立思考成为被开除的原因。 7大多数异端说他们是唯一真正的教会。 8会员们惧怕被踢出组织。 这些与你列出来的有多少重合? 我从六岁到二十岁都是异端成员。它除了没有《圣经》以外的经卷之外,具有以上所有的特点。它提倡一种极端形式的行为救恩。你只能在5岁到20岁之间,在神为你预定的一两个特别的日子里得救。如果你错过了机会之窗,你就没救了。如果你在得救之后犯了一次罪,你就失去了你的救恩,再也不能得到它了。 罗马天主教会确实有我上面列出的一些特征(1,3,5)。然而,它不被认为是异端,因为它缺乏许多关键特征。例如,教皇几乎没有控制权。天主教会也不再说自己是唯一真正的教会。 罗马天主教会并不是唯一一个教导靠信心加行为得救的领导团体。东正教也是如此。大多数新教教派也是如此。除了异端外,大多数福音派基督徒认为,只要他们坚持信仰和善行,所有自称是基督徒的人都是得救的。 如果一个人必须同时相信上帝的恩赐——永生,和赐予者——主耶稣基督(约4:10),那么任何从未相信耶稣的救恩是永恒的人都是未得救的,无论他们是天主教徒、新教徒、东正教徒,还是异端的成员。这意味着许多杰出的基督徒还没有进入神永远的家。如果好行为不能让你进入基督的国度,那么相信耶稣就是至关重要的,因为他保证了救恩。 你是否关心那些相信靠信心加行为得救的朋友和亲人的永恒命运? ___ 鲍勃·威尔金(Bob Wilkin)(达拉斯神学院神学硕士,博士)恩典福音派协会(Grace Evangelical Society)创始人及执行主任,聚焦恩典电台(Grace in Focus Radio)联合主持人。他同妻子莎伦(Sharon)住在德州高地村(Highland Village, TX)。鲍勃最新的书有《在一百节经文中的“单凭信心”(暂译)》(Faith Alone in One Hundred Verses)和《回转来活:悔改的力量(暂译)》(Turn and Live: The Power of Repentance)。

¿Estás seguro de que estarás con el Señor y su pueblo para siempre?

Durante años, he visto Newsmax durante unos minutos cada mañana antes de salir para el trabajo. De repente, ha desaparecido de la oferta de nuestro proveedor de cable. Esta mañana estaba viendo Fox News. Brian Kilmeade estaba entrevistando al cardenal Dolan, arzobispo de Nueva York. Fue una entrevista de Viernes Santo. El final de la […]

Czy Jezus nakazał nam prosić Go o życie wieczne (1)

Ostatnio na jednym z naszych blogów pojawił się następujący komentarz: „Według Jezusa, gdybyś znał dar Boży i wiedział, kim On jest, który ofiarowuje ci ten dar, prosiłbyś Go o ten dar, a On by ci dał ten dar. Jana 4:10.” Choć piszący z pewnością miał dobre intencje, ten komentarz nie jest całkiem poprawny. Zwróć uwagę […]

Sa loob ng maraming taon araw-araw akong nanunuod ng ilang minute ng Newsmax bago ako pumasok sa trabaho. Sa isang iglap, inalis ito ng aming cable provider. Ngayong umaga, nanuod ako ng Fox News. Kinakapanayam ni Brian Kilmeade si Cardinal Dolan, Arsobispo ng New York. Ito ay kapanayam para sa Biyernes Santo. Ang katapusan ng […]

Is there only one final judgment

The image of Saint Peter standing at the pearly gates testing people in order to determine whether or not they enter heaven is iconic in Western culture. For years it has been perpetuated through jokes, television shows, and even cartoons such as The Far Side. The depiction of a long line of people waiting in […]

Ci sono cose nella Bibbia che sono difficili per te da credere?

Credere in qualcosa vuol dire essere convinti che è vero. Credere in Gesù Cristo per la vita eterna vuol dire essere convinti che te la dona attraverso la fede in Lui soltanto. Ma ci sono molte altre cose che un credente è chiamato a credere dopo aver ricevuto la vita eterna. Quando “ascoltiamo” cose attraverso […]

What makes a good example for us to follow

In the books of 1 and 2 Kings, a major area of emphasis is God’s blessing His people if they obey Him and cursing them if they don’t. This is true for the various kings as well. There were around forty of them, and most “did evil in the eyes of the Lord.” Only eight […]
