Salvation for today: 1Cor 15:1-4, Eph 2:8-9, Rom 3:23-28, Titus 3:4-7.. Trust solely in what Jesus has done for you, then study scripture (KJB)rightly divided.

The good news for today:

[MWM @MwmSpectrum]

The irony of the biblical cosmology issue, is that most Christians are quick to say, “why does it matter” or “we shouldn’t focus on things like that” etc… but by having what I believe is a scriptural view of the realm that we live in, could end up being a very important piece of information that keeps people from being deceived by the upcoming “alien disclosures.”

[MWM @MwmSpectrum]

“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.”

2 Thessalonians 2:1-17 KJV

[MWM @MwmSpectrum]

To me, the outer space narrative, along with other issues like the big bang, and macro-evolution fall into the category of “science falsely so called”… ultimately designed to shake the faith of many, or cause them to lean towards an atheistic viewpoint.

“O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:”
1 Timothy 6:20 KJV

But these are all just secondary discussion issues that I find interesting to talk about from time to time.

The main issue one needs to reconcile is whether or not they’ve exclusively trusted in the sacrifice that Jesus made on their behalf. Thank you for your feedback, I wish you the best. Grace and peace.

THE SINNER’S PRAYER, ALTAR CALLS, CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH, AND THE GOSPEL OF GRACE

Modern Christianity has quietly redefined how people think salvation happens.

Ask the average churchgoer,
“How did you get saved?” and you’ll often hear:
“I walked forward.”
“I prayed the sinner’s prayer.”
“I asked Jesus into my heart.”
“I gave my life to Christ.”

But here’s the uncomfortable question:
Where did Paul the Apostle ever tell someone to do that?
Not once.

THE HISTORICAL SHIFT

The “Sinner’s Prayer” as we know it is not found in Scripture as a salvation formula. It grew popular during revival movements, especially under Charles Finney, who introduced the “anxious bench” — a public decision seat designed to move people toward a visible response. Later, evangelists like Billy Graham popularized the altar call worldwide.

Understand this carefully: They were using methods.

But methods slowly became traditions.
Traditions became expectations.
Expectations became doctrine.

And once a method becomes doctrine, confusion begins.

ISRAEL’S PROGRAM WAS DIFFERENT

When Jesus walked on earth, the kingdom was at hand.

The message was:
> Repent
> Be baptized
> Prepare for the kingdom

Even the publican in Luke 18 crying, “God be merciful to me a sinner,” was operating under Israel’s program — before the cross, before the Body of Christ, before the dispensation of grace was revealed. He was seeking mercy under the Law.

The cross had not yet been proclaimed as finished, saving truth.
So using that as a salvation formula for today ignores progressive revelation.

WHAT PAUL ACTUALLY PREACHED

Paul defines the gospel clearly in
1 Corinthians 15:1–4:

Christ died for our sins
He was buried
He rose again the third day

That’s the content.

Now the response:

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” (Acts 16:31)

Notice what is missing:

No scripted prayer.
No altar call.
No public aisle walk.
No emotional demonstration required.

Just belief.

And Ephesians 1:13 says:

“After that ye believed, ye were sealed…”

An 1 Thessalonians 4:14 says:

“For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again…”

Not after you prayed.
Not after you invited Jesus into your heart.
Not after you committed.
After you believed.

Salvation happens at the moment faith rests in Christ’s finished work.

ROMANS 10:13 — PROPERLY UNDERSTOOD

People say:
“But Romans 10:13 says whoever calls on the Lord will be saved!”

Yes, but verse 14 immediately asks:
“How shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?”

Belief precedes calling.

Calling is the outward expression of inward faith, not a ritual that activates salvation.

You are not saved because you said the right words.
You speak because you believe.
If a man believes in his heart the gospel, he is saved — even if he never verbalizes a formula.

The power is in what Christ did — not in what you say.

THE SUBTLE DANGER

Here’s where it gets serious.

When someone says: “I know I’m saved because I prayed the prayer at camp when I was 13.”

Where is their confidence resting?

Is it resting in: The blood of Christ?

Or in: A memory of an emotional moment?

If assurance is tied to a past experience, then doubt will eventually attack the experience.

“Did I mean it?” “Was I sincere enough?” “Did I feel enough conviction?” “Did I say it right?”

But when assurance is tied to the Cross, the question changes: “Did Christ die for my sins?”

That answer never changes. It is finished!

THE REAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROGRAMS

Under Israel’s prophetic kingdom program:

Repentance was national.
Water baptism was required.
Endurance to the end was necessary.
The kingdom hope was earthly.

Under the dispensation of the grace of God
revealed to Paul:

Justification is by faith alone.
No ritual is attached.
The believer is sealed immediately.
The hope is heavenly.
The believer is complete in Christ.

Two different programs.
Two different instructions.
One Bible rightly divided.

DOES THAT MEAN PRAYING IS WRONG?

No.

There is nothing wrong with someone praying when they believe.
A believer may cry out in gratitude.
But understand this clearly: The prayer does not save you.
Faith in the gospel saves you.

If someone believes the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ for their sins and expresses that in prayer, wonderful.
But if someone thinks the act of praying is what caused salvation, they are trusting a work, not grace.

And grace plus ritual is no longer pure grace.

WHY THIS MATTERS SO MUCH

When salvation is attached to a ritual:
Churches start counting decisions instead of conversions.
People trust events instead of the gospel.
Emotions replace doctrine.
And assurance becomes fragile.

But when salvation is rooted in the gospel alone:
Assurance is unshakeable.
Because it rests on something outside of you.
On something finished.
On something perfect.

FINAL MIC DROP

The altar does not save.
The prayer does not save.
The preacher does not save.

Christ saves.

Not when you walk.
Not when you weep.
Not when you repeat.

But when you believe.

The question is not: “Did you pray the sinner’s prayer?”

The question is: “Have you trusted the finished work of Christ alone?”

That’s Pauline.
That’s grace.
That’s settled.

Depends on the volatility of the underlying and the strategy being deployed within the fund. For instance, index funds that trade monthly options, probably 8-12% annually if you want to preserve NAV… yield higher than that, probably will have erosion… yield lower, will probably have some share price growth… with crypto or anything else more volatile, you could probably bump those yields up some.

@brunobarking @JustBibleTruth @TheSisko @DaMadMattster @KarenCicco @CauseToKnow @the_usal @kathmregel @soonintheclouds @jnatael @WesleyLHuff Like I said, I wish you the best on your journey to have a completed Bible. Keep an eye out for the latest revisions so you can stay on top of what the textual critics continue to discover.

[MWM @MwmSpectrum]

I simply don’t believe that.

The specific powers that will be given to the future remnant of Israel going through Jacob’s trouble, that are mentioned in the later verses of Mark 16, will be needed for them to survive during that time period. Without those verses, you miss those details… but people today commonly misinterpret that passage and try to throw it out because they know they can’t handle poisonous snakes or drink a poisoned liquid, and not have those hurt them. But when the passages are understood in their proper context, they fit other passages of scripture perfectly.

But either way, everyone has to make their own choices on what they choose to believe… I wish you the best and thank you for your time.

[MWM @MwmSpectrum]

@brunobarking @JustBibleTruth @TheSisko @DaMadMattster @KarenCicco @CauseToKnow @the_usal @kathmregel @soonintheclouds @jnatael @WesleyLHuff I can promise you it didn’t take 2000 years, a couple of catholic manuscripts, and a litany of “experts” to get God’s words correct… at least for now anyway, till the next revised edition is released.

[MWM @MwmSpectrum]

No one today has ever seen or read the original manuscripts… end of story. The textual critics will forever be recommending “revisions” to the biblical text because they can never be sure exactly what the originals said.

And as far as trusting experts, we know that even when the apostle Paul was alive, people were already corrupting the scriptures… most had even turned their back on what Paul was teaching towards the end of his life, because again he tells us that in scripture. So be careful simply trusting experts.

It’s my belief that for the most part, the fruits of textual criticism have been that most today don’t have a set of scriptures that they truly believe in… because if you wait another year or two, you’ll have another updated revision… and then another one a couple years after that…

It’s also funny to me, that even in the newer modern English versions, they’ll plant seeds of doubt in people by adding footnotes or placing certain verses in brackets etc… but they’ll still put those verses in their translations most of the time… to me, if they had real conviction about their position, completely remove the verses, bit they don’t.

The more fruitful endeavor to me, is to believe that God preserved His words through the majority text lines that believers have been reading and studying throughout time, and learn what the verses are trying to teach us in their proper context, rather than removing sections of scripture.

[MWM @MwmSpectrum]

The catholic manuscripts, and the subsequent English versions that used those manuscripts are the ones that seem to have an issue with the full chapter in mark.

My guess is that those who produced those manuscripts didn’t know how to handle those verses, so they simply removed them… then the “experts” labeled those manuscripts as “the oldest and best,” and the bible publication industrial complex that profits from continually pumping out newer revised versions of scripture, jumped all over them.

[MWM @MwmSpectrum]

@JanJekielek Why continue to allow your child to attend that school?

Parents need to be raising their children rather than delegating that responsibility to institutions that are hostile to their beliefs.

[WWURD_Official @WWURD_Official]

Peter’s Gospel (the Prophecy program):
> Promised since the world began (Acts 3:21)
> Repent and be baptized (Acts 2:38)
> Earthly Kingdom hope (Mt 6:10)
> #Christ as Israel’s King

Paul’s Gospel (the Mystery program):
> Kept secret since the world began (Rom 16:25)
> Justification by #faith alone (Rom 3:21–26)
> Heavenly position in Christ (Eph 2:6)
> Christ as the Head of the Body

One cannot preach both messages without mixing prophecy and mystery, and thus blending two different programs into one. Don't be a blender, #Christian!

[MWM @MwmSpectrum]

You’re correct in saying that we haven’t done anything to earn salvation… it’s a free gift… but salvation does require one to have faith in the gospel, and faith comes from hearing the word of God according to the scriptures. Faith is also not a “work” according to scripture.

I wish you the best. Grace and peace.

[MWM @MwmSpectrum]

I’m not here to cast aspersions.

Salvation is a free gift, not a forced obligation. Christ died for all, and that was information that was initially revealed to Paul “in due time”… Calvinism is still living in time past, where it was only revealed that Christ died for “many”… and that “many” was Israel in time past.

For today, one must hear/read the gospel of their salvation, then trust that gospel message… the moment they’ve trusted the finished work of Christ on their behalf, they’re then baptized by the Holy Spirit into the Body of Christ… the Body of Christ has been promised a heavenly inheritance, and the Israel of God is promised an earthly inheritance… unless one understands the different spiritual entities and the plans and promises that God has made for each, they’ll live in spiritual confusion during this lifetime.

[MWM @MwmSpectrum]

Romans 9 is about Israel in time past and the ages to come… “the vessels of mercy”… even with that understanding, Romans 9 is not saying that God predetermined some to go to Hell and others to be saved… many of Calvinism’s errors comes from a misunderstanding of God’s overall dispensational timeline, and the present dispensation that people live in today… today God is building the Body of Christ, not the Israel of God… today anyone can be saved by trusting the finished work of Christ… Christ died for all, and therefore all can be saved. There are a whole host of passages showing that people have free will, it’s just up to the reader to choose to believe the passages rather than impose a foreign theological system onto the scriptures. Grace and peace.
