Gpod ol' Larry Flynt the publisher of the Hustler Magazine is going to right there with the President Carter's sister who led him to the cross alone and made confession, just like the scriptures state.
Good ol' Larry never had to repent. He just kept on destroying the young minds of millions and made millions doing it.
••Can you assemble some new material? I've only been seeing this for a few days and I'm sick of it already. There's absolutely ZERO substance in this and it points to nothing. If you're saying here that Flynt "Believed and confessed" and still did wicked things, what's the point? Does this invalidate confession and belief?? If so, I'll rattle off a list of names who have obeyed all YOUR rules, who have spoken in tongues for hours, and continued doing evil stuff, and invalidate your system as well.
Never had to turn away in repentance calling on the name of the Lord in baptism. Never had to come out of the world. All he had to do was just give mental ascent that Carter's sister was right in what she told him.
••Repentance is "Turning" and to call on the name of the Lord, to believe, to confess, is to turn...to repent. Does that guarantee "coming out of the world" as you're defining it? Of course not, not any more than speaking in tongues does. A LOOOOOOOOOTTTTT of people have spoken in tongues and committed sexual immorality within minutes of each other. If tongues are supposed to produce change, something is REALLY wrong!
Just ssssssss leeeeeep. Nothing like that crazy repentance stuff, coming out of the world, picking up the cross and keeping God's commandments is required. All of that is crazy talk. Never mind "SAVE YOURSELVES FROM THIS UNTOWARD GENERATION."
••So now we have to also "Pick up the cross" and "Keep God's commands" in order to experience salvation? The list keeps getting longer. I'm gonna be worn out by the time I'm finally saved! I sure wish Jesus would do something so I didn't have to do all this stuff.
Oh wait......He did!!
All of the scriptures you quoted above is TRUTH. But, according to your interpretation, we just need to tear out about half of the bible. Among the many portions that we need to take Baaruk" pin knife to is:
Rev 22:14 Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.\
••And which commandments should we include in this list? Should we include the command to greet one another with a holy kiss?
Some interesting words contained in this scripture if the words are not taken away either by falsifying them or just omitting them entirely:
1. Blessed... as opposed to miserable or tortured.
2. DO, his COMMANDMENTS....as opposed to doing nothing.
3. Have a RIGHT. Greek: exousia. That is, legal authority. Privledge, Power, Liberty, able, free.
4. TREE OF LIFE. Without which fruit there is no salvation and without which leaves there is no healing. Only death, destruction and loss forever will result.
5. ENTER. That is to have access to. Entrance to which there are eternal blessedness and felicities.
6. INTO THE CITY. That's the New Jerusalem that John saw coming down from God out of heaven.
••Sounds good. Don't forget to obey ALL His commands and get to kissing next Sunday at church.
Not complicated at all, unless one is stung by the sting of the scorpion in which death is induced. Foolish is the man who believes he an give a mental acknowledgment and verbal consent that a thing is so
••Wait, wait, wait.....You take "Belief and Confession" as found in Romans 10, to be merely "MENTAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND VERBAL CONSENT????" That's theologically insulting. To reduce great salvational truth to the level of a decision to buy a used car is horrible.
, go on without repentance and doing God's commandments, and then believe he will spend eternity in heaven with his corrupt image then revealed in the heavenly light. No words can express how foolish is that man.
••Foolish? That word definitely applies to a lot of what I've just read.
