Does overcome mean more works,praying more, etc. how much is enough? Is it not all of grace. When does the Holy Spirit leave a believer. Ephesians 1:13.
k j v 1 jh /chapter 5 verse 4, for whatsoever is born of god overcometh the world, and this is the victory that overcometh the world , even our faith /verse 5, who is he that overcometh the workd, but he that beliveth that jesus is the son of god?
Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast. 1Corinthians 3:11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he builds survives, he will receive his reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames. I love you Tiff and have the utmost respect for you. I agree to error on the side of caution so no man enter eternal destruction. I think Christians should live their life ready to meet Jesus. The Bible describes salvation as an event that immediately and irrevocably changes our destiny from eternal separation to eternal life in God's presence. It happens the moment we ask for it in faith, and is made possible through a pardon purchased for us with the blood of God's Son our Lord Jesus. Then comes sanctification, the process of living our lives in submission to the indwelling Holy Spirit. I am a faithful student of yours and will be as long as God allows me to be on this earth.
The text is a literary device called a litote i.e. a negative emphasis of a positive. Jesus said that all the Father has given He would not lose one. If salvation depends on us, we are back to works and one can never have peace. In Matthew 7, there are those commending themselves on the basis of what they did. If our names were written in the Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundations of the earth and you are then erased, it means God is not omniscient i.e. he didn’t know who is truly saved. If someone professes Christ but shows no fruit, they were never saved to begin with. In 1 John it says that those who went out from them were never of them meaning not true believers. The bottom line is the question how can I know if I have lived a holy enough life to keep my place in the Book of Life and the answer to that is that the righteousness of God is found only in Christ otherwise we are back to Judaism and Catholicism. I cling to Christ and Christ alone because I am a sinner.
What I’ve always thought about this verse is .. that everyone’s name when they are born, is written into the book of life. After all it’s the book of life , so then, if that person does not receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior in their lifetime, then their name will be erased, or blotted out 🤷♀️. I don’t know just sounds right to me.
Brother Tiff, I have respect for you as a teacher of the Word of God. But I do not base my Salvation on my feelings or what I am comfortable with or what seems like a "safe zone." I base my Salvation on the Word of God and that Word (Christ) can not lie. Regardless of how I feel and my feelings can change daily, God's Word is always truth. Salvation is a gift that can't be earned, it is freely given by God the Father upon our faith in his Son's atoning work on the Cross at Calvary. Jesus didn't just cover our sin with his Blood, he also became our Sin, God the Father turned away from him in that moment on the Cross and allowed it out of his great love for the World. (John 3:16) (2 Cor. 5:21) God is Eternal, all Powerful, Everywhere Present and All Knowing, therefore the day that I accepted Jesus into my heart as my Savior, God the Father already knew every sin I had committed up to that moment in time and every sin I would and will commit until the day I take my last breath. Jesus became every single one of those sins and even every thought that doesn't measure up to the holiness that God would require, on my behalf on Calvary. Once for all! Praise be to our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God! Whom the Son has freed is free indeed! (John 8:36) I am now a child of God, God is my Abba, Daddy, Father and he will not disown me and erase or blot my name out of the Lambs Book of Life. I can be secure in that knowledge! Being Born Again and yet still living in my carnal flesh, I am none the less The Temple of the Holy Spirit. I no longer belong to myself, I belong to God having been bought, purchased with the price of the Blood of his Son, my Savior Jesus Christ. (I Cor. 6:20) Some call this Hyper Grace. I call it AMAZING GRACE! God loves me so much he would rather die than spend eternity without me. If that doesn't seal my Salvation then nothing can. Am I giving license to sin and fall away? Certainly not! We are to Love God with all our heart and our neighbor as ourself. Proof (evidence ) of our Love is our obedience to him. (John 14:15) I will always sin and I will be wrong many many times in my life. God has already forgiven that! Sins past, present and future! (Yes, when The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin we must repent of it in order to remain in right relationship with God our Father. If we don't our sins can have concequences, even our own physical death, but no longer Hell) 1 Cor. 3:15 So, I can only say that here by the Grace of God go I. It is not me but Christ in me! He is enough even though I will never be enough. My favorite scripture verse is 2 Timothy 1:12 "for which cause I also suffer these things; neverthess I am not ashamed. For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that Day." KJV Peace and Love to you Brother Tiff, in Christ.
Brother Tiff: Praise God Almighty for your dedication to the "Rightly Dividing of The Word Of God." I want to acknowledge your restraint in having to be respectful and not Burst Into Laughter when describing people's conduct in this age. Your teaching and preaching style is such a Golden Treasue to us all. Please know and feel the true love of fellow Christians who are so greatly blessed by your teachings. 👍🙏
Just know for yourself that your works are not what makes you an overcomer! It's the endwelling of the Holy Spirit through Yashua that enables you to be an overcomer. If your salvation is dependent on you, you would surely lose it! Yashua knows We have little strength, he said so! But He is love and He loved us first! And the definition of love is: Doing the thing for someone else that you KNOW they can not do for themselves! And how many times did Yashua show us that?
Thank you for your point of view brother Tiff. Your teachings have helped me grow in my faith and I thank the Lord for bringing your teachings into my life. I learned from you to cross reference other passages from other parts of the Bible to study a point of view. In doing so for this passage, a couple of passages come to mind. John 10:27, John 6:39-40. I do hold to once saved always saved because of these passages and all of Gods promises throughout the Bible and as you well know, it’s impossible for him to break his promise. Knowing I cannot lose my salvation only makes me love my God even more. Simone thinking they can lose their salvation has no peace or assurance. The Bible also says we can know that we have eternal life. 1 John 5:13. Thank you brother Tiff! God bless you and everyone in the chat!
1s john chapter 3 verse 2 beloved NOW ARE WE THE SONS OF GOD , he will not blot out his sons name. lost forever if you dont get born again ,saved forever if you are born again amen.
How I read it is if someone who has professed to be a Christian then lives a life totally opposite , God can erase that name. The bible seems to state that a name can be erased…so why is that wording there? I know none of us is perfect but with the grace and mercy of God , He can and will help us to become over-comers 🤗🙏🏼
OSAS and Psalms 69:28 I believe the Psalmist was talking about those who were physically living at David's time, to be blotted out from the Land of the Living! He was asking GOD to take out his enemies that affected his soul and for them to go to Sheol.
Osas is southern Baptist belief. But i do not believe you will always be saved if you fall from Grace and never repent before death. If you repent and God forgives you and is restored to God then yes your name can not be blotted out. We are commanded to be faithful to the end.
Wow, this is scripture I always wanted to know about. You were right about trying to look at Google or other sites about questions on the book of life. I read so many different views on it and my heart was not content on those answers. I agree with you on this scripture and I really feel peaceful on what you said. I teach bible studies at my home and this will be my next study. Thank you for your teachings and my prayers are with you and your ministry. God bless.
What interesting about Rev 3:5kjv is it says the opposite of what our apostle Paul says in Col 2:10-17kjv. The believers sins have already been forgiven. The question about salvation is are we saved. If we are asking forgiveness every day we are most likely not saved. Our gospel today says we are saved if we believe Christ died for our sins was buried and rose again the third day 1 Cor 15:1-4. Asking Christ forgiveness every day means we don’t believe our gospel and as 1 Cor 15:3 says we believed in vain
Kevin , You will sin and if you say you don`t sin you are calling God a liar . 1 John 1: 8 - 9 - 10 ; I ask God to for give me of my sins most every time I pray The spirit will convict you of sin and you ask forgiveness . and I don`t believe in vain , Christ died one time for sins past present and future sin . and when we sin the blood of Christ is at the throne to cover my sins . It does not have any thing to do with believing the Gospel . That is what save us .
@@donaldcooley897 thats why 2 Tim 2:15 is there because he said we have to divide the truth. Isaiah 28:10 says For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: Your choosing the gospel you like because you think you have to add to what Jesus already said he did. The scripture you quoted and Col 2:10-17 are exact opposite. Yours is to the tribulation Jew and Pauls is to the body of Christ. The body of Christ is gonna get judged by Jesus Christ according to Pauls gospel the Lord gave to Paul Rom 2:16. Paul said in Col 2:10-17 the believers today is complete in Him and already forgiven all trespasses and also blotted the law out for the believer. That future conversation about right division you and the Lord will have is between y’all.
@@kevinboutwell2243 There is but one Gospel the Gospel of Christ , By faith in the Gospel we have eternal life that is his death , burial and resurrection , when God by his word convicted me that I was a sinner 73 + years ago , I repented and was brought to Christ For salvation , I excepted him and was saved my sin were washed away by the blood of Christ , Christ died one time for sins past, present and future , and I was indwell with the spirit , at the same time I was baptized into the body of Christ by the spirit which is his Church. 1 Cor, 12 : 13 ; and 2 Cor. 5 : 17 says if a man be in Christ he is a new Creature ,(CREATION ) I was born again from above . I am in in Christ and he is in me there can be no sin left in you or the the spirit will no inter . but we live in the flesh and we will sin in the flesh but we ask and God will for Give us an cleanse us of our sins 1 John 1 : 8 - 9 - 10; Romans 2 : 16 ; when I stand before God I will not be Judged for my sin , Christ `s blood has already cleansed me of My sins . and I now stand Justified and stand righteous by faith in Christ . There is no other way of salvation . there is no other Gospel except the Gospel of Christ . You sound like you don`t know salvation in Christ is all about . you are saved by faith in Christ or you are not saved .
@@donaldcooley897 i see you avoided anything to do with opposing scripture because today’s religious systems aren’t teaching it and they avoid anything they don’t understand. You know what to say but don’t understand the scripture well enough to stop asking forgiveness. You cant be under they scripture i gave you and Israels at the same time. I’m sure you believe the Matt 28 great Commission is written to you and we are suppose to teach all nations whatsoever he commanded and to baptize all nations in the name of the father son and Holy Ghost. This is absolutely clear if rightly divided this hasn’t happened yet and not being fulfilled today. Paul cannot be fulfilling this being sent not to baptize and he even thanked God for it. If Paul is our apostle which the bible says he is why is his scripture a mystery before him and in Gal 2:6-7 why is Paul given the gospel OF the uncircumcised and Peter the Gospel OF the circumcision. Also why was Paul able to add but they didn’t. Israel is promise eternity one earth and the body of Christ is eternal in the heavens. Paul is given the dispensation of grace for us gentiles in Eph 3:1-10 and preaches according to the mystery kept secret sense the world began Rom 16:25-26. I apologize for sounding rough about this but 99% of people out there only believe what doctrine they learned since they were born in their religion and i was one of them.
@@kevinboutwell2243 The mystery that was kept secret is the Church The body of saved believers it was a mystery to the the Jews and some are still blind to the fact that salvation is only by faith believing on Christ who they crucified . there is only one way of salvation , that is by faith believing on. Christ and being indwell with the spirit of God that seals our salvation Eph. 1 :13 ;
I sin everyday either in thought, word or deed. I wish however being sinless was as easy as pushing a button. I think you are right, Jesus was pertaining to those who deliberately sin without a care and take his grace and Salvation for granted called hyper or greasy grace.
Hyper or greasy grace is not something talked about in scripture. They are man made names . I do not believe a born again person can sin without a care, just isn't possible. I do believe what Jesus promises, those who belong to Him , none will He lose.
@@kimwestwood8840 Come to think of it your right. I guess those who take Grace for granted perhaps weren't genuine about Salvation due to a misunderstanding of the greatest gift and miracle of all. Idk.
@@the7tongardengnome I think the misunderstanding today comes from the perversion of the gospel today. Paul warned of a false gospel which is not good news, but puts salvation on the person rather than resting on the finished work of the cross.
@@kimwestwood8840 I think there's a number of things not in the Bible but references to those things. Trinity, The Rapture, Back sliding and the word Bible just to name a few. I'm sure there are others.
Yes I believe yes, if I backslide after repenting and go back into my old ways, but offcause this loving God is not a toy, if we sow in the flesh we reap death, and walk by the Spirit of God reap life, but we know Jesus does forgive, but we must not test God
I believe you, I have a friend that was counseling me on my narcissists husband and she told me that it was not my problem to worry about my husband’s soul . I have been praying for God to change his heart before he passes because it worries me , well last Sunday he died 3 times and they saved him three times, when he came to after the pacemaker was put in him , he was so grateful to be alive and everyone that has visited him has said God still has a purpose for his life . I’m still praying that God can break through his stubbornness and prideful spirit and put God first , me second and , my concern is his soul he is in bad health and going down fast . I thought what she said wasn’t biblical at all , we are to be concerned about all souls not just your family . We have to have enough of God word to discern what people are telling us , we can’t believe everything people say if it doesn’t match Gods word then I will not be trusting their advice . I love the way you explain things from the word , God has given you great wisdom and you have really helped a lot of people bring understanding to scriptures. I’m so glad I found your U tube channel.
I relize you are preaching stright from GOD'S word and l love what you are saying, and teaching, because GOD'S wprd is YEA and AMEN, and l enjoy listing to you, may the good GOD in the heaven's BLESS this ministry in JESUS'S NAME.
The Apostle John described what an overcomer is, and he never stated that an overcomer overcomes sin or anything else works based. Otherwise we save ourselves and the cross is needless as stated in Eph. 2:8-9 and Galatians 2:21. No he said the following👇🏿 1 John 5:4-5 (KJV) 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? According to John an overcomer is the one who believes Jesus is the Son of God and has been born again. That’s it. Its not our works….its Christ’s work that is sufficient.
@@thegrigs777 then Jesus lied. John 6:37 (KJV) All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. John 10:29 (KJV) My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.👈Notice He said NO man, including yourself. Plus Paul would have lied. Ephesians 4:30 (KJV) And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. And Jude would have lied. Jude 1:24 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, Do you honestly believe all these men lied? I don’t, scripture must not contradict scripture, and we know Jesus cannot lie, therefore your interpretations must be in error. Our works, doing His commandments, etc. do not justify👉Romans 3:28 (KJV) Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 👈FAITH ALONE. We are born again through faith alone, it is Christ’s work on the cross shedding His blood for the remission of sins 👉Romans 5:9 (KJV) Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.👈It does not say “justified by our works”. It says BY HIS BLOOD. Galatians 2:21 says Galatians 2:21 (KJV) I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.👉if our works justify then Christ and His cross was not necessary and His death was vanity. That is a lie! Refuted by many scriptures. And those Christ saves through His blood are His forever because HE does the saving, not us. It is HIM alone and He keeps those who are HIS. When you deny the eternal security of the believer, you are robbing Christ of His glory and His redemptive power. Plus you focus on your own efforts or “works” and end up trusting your own self for salvation. Dude, you can’t save yourself. What works did the thief on the cross do? None, he was hanging on a cross, all he had time for was to believe and ask the Lord to save him! And yet Jesus told him he was saved, without works. Yes faith without works is dead, because it is evidence its a dead faith, a non saving faith. And genuine saving faith will love Christ, follow Him, and strive to keep His Word. That is the sanctification or discipleship process that lasts a lifetime. Justification, however, is an instantaneous process the moment you believe and are born again, it is spiritual regeneration (Titus 3:5). And what is born cannot be unborn, what is regenerated cannot be unregenerated. Do not confuse justification with sanctification, or believe in faith plus works. That is not salvation, thats a different gospel Paul refuted all throughout Galatians.
@@thegrigs777 we are saved by grace through faith not our works its the gift of God an no one can boast about it. yes once saved always saved is false if we think we can live in the same daily or hourly sin an not seek forgiveness an think we will go to heaven when we die.Our works dont get us to heaven unless we call confessing sins to jesus a work as well as attemoting to witness to lost souls a work even if they dont chose Christ. Our works help us with heavenly reward But Dont at all link to our salvation at all we cant earn it work for it pay for it or anything like that.we just confess our sins believe that Jesus is Lord an God raised him from the dead as we will be saved. I dont understand outside of being human why Christians argue about Gods Word while we do that satan is gaining souls in Hell an laughing at al the belivers different opinions on the Bible
Great teaching. WISE brother Tim because your accountability is greater! Matthew 24:13 King James Version (KJV) But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Once saved, always saved. We are God’s children and we backslide and we sin, but if we are truly saved we cannot live away from God for any length of time without the Holy Spirit convicting us. I discern somewhere in the belief we could be blotted out involves a working on our part to be ‘good’ to go to Heaven. Only the blood of Christ will get me to Heaven. Only God’s grace because I am not worthy. Self righteous Christians disgust me.
If your name is not found in the book of life you will NOT be saved & go into heaven. That is the scripture. If your name is blotted out bc of the reasons given in God's word, in Revelation 3 :5 & 22: 18 & 19 that says it about as plain as it can be said! Our opinions don't change that, or our actions either.
Thank you for this very much important information needed to help us see this Verse from Revelation....I so consider you as a trusted source of learning the word of God 🙏 thank you......
It seems probable that all who enter the world have their names written in the Lamb's book of life and are safe in Him until they reach an age of accountability, and become conscious sinners. At that point, they are spiritually dead and need salvation, but their names are not actually blotted out of the book of life until they have irrevocably rejected Christ.
Barry Seal . Read the scriptures , Romans 5 : 12 ; we are all sinners from birth . we are born dead in sin , separated from God . That is why we have to be born again . with the spirit . There is one thing brother Tiff . didn`t address . By the grace of God we are saved by faith in Christ . when we Get saved , we are Baptized in to the body of Christ by the spirit , 1 Cor. 12 : 13 ; If a man be in Christ he is a new creature ( Creation ) born from above .2 Cor. 5 : 17 It is not the man of flesh who is written in the book of Life it is the new man born from God , 1 John 3 : 9 ; the only thing that the born again person will lose is rewards , which will be burned . 1 Cor. 3 : 11 - 15 . God Bless , you and Brother Tiff .
@@donaldcooley897 so all baby's that die before reaching the age of accountability go to hell? Everything you said in your comment I agree with. One thing you forgot to mention in your comment though, is that when we get saved we are also sealed by that same spirit that we are baptized into the body of Christ by. John 6:37-40 also says that Christ looses no one that the Father gives Him. John 10:27-30 also says that they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of Christ hand, or the Fathers hand.
I remember being saved at the age of 14 years. As I grew I began to drift away from God and Biblical truths. I spent many years living in complete disobedience to God’s Word. If I died in that moment I can only imagine what my fate would have been. Nevertheless, I believe that it all comes down to repentance. As Christians we are all tempted and sometimes led astray. The Holy Spirit will convict us and we have free will to repent or continue on our path of eternal damnation. “ If we confess our sins “. Also “His mercies are renewed each day “. God knows our weakness and that we could slip, so each day He is waiting to forgive us , and receive His children just like the prodigal son. It does not matter how long we stray ….. provisions are made for our save return to the fold . There are some who die in their disobedience and never return to Christ. It’s like being in class…. If you are absent , your name is not recorded. I am present and accounted for in Christ , my Lord !!!
Tiff.. that view was very well put.. i agree with you 100%.. id say .. people can take it how they want.. but they ought to read all 7 letters.. id tell them you are talking about eternity.. is it worth the gamble.. much love to you brother.. id love to sit down and chat with you sometime..
I would like to tell everyone this, OUR GOD IS A GOD WHO CANNOT LIE, he is so real and belive you me our GOD is a sprit and they that worship him must worship him in sprit and in TRUTH
Yes, our name will bw blotted out from the Book of Life. Rev. 3: 5. Why ? 1) "For I have found thy works perfect before God. " ( Jam. 2:22! ). 2) Spiritually dead, defiled their garments ( not holy,,,not righteous ) They are the ones whom God give them a command to "REPENT". Those who hear the warnings and do repent is called the overcomer.
"For I have NOT FOUND thy works PERFECT". ..is the reason why our name will be blotted-out from the Book Of Life. ..because his faith to our Lord Jesus Christ is not PERFECT. God wants us to be perfect ( Gen. 17:1, Mt. 5:48, Col. 4:12, Heb. 13:21, James 2:22). "Away from me, I never knew you, you workers of iniquity " . Mt. 7:23 (21-23). Christians who are DIS-OBEDIENCE to the will of God are workers of iniquity...he cannot enter into the Kingdom of heaven....his name is already blotted-out because of iniquity. Anything which is UNHOLY ,,,,UNRIGHTEOUS is iniquity before God.
I AGREE WITH YOU TIFF. I WENT THROUGH THE BACKSLIDDEN LIFE GOD WARNED ME OF NASHING OF TEETH SEVERAL TIMES OVER. GOD ALSO WARNED ME BECAUSE I KNEW. I LEFT THE FAITH WENT BACK TO WORLD IN TO MY OLD WAYS GOD WARNED ME AND ALSO LET ME KNOW I WOULD BE LEFT BEHIND FOR THE RAPTURE. GOD BLESS ALL
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:21-23
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 2 Timothy 2:15,16
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.For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. Revelation 21:14,15
John 6:29 KJV Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. NLT Translation: Jesus told them, This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.
Here is a question for you Pastor, what if you backslide and you willing or do not repent yet you truly believe in Jesus but die before you repent❓❓❓I have asked different pastors on this since others also states the same answers ,, one says yes your name is blotted out and you are no longer saved another says no once you are in the book is never going to be erased! Both sides says scriptures !! I am trying to read the Holy Bible I have a work book that My dear friend gave me before she died she was a Godly woman and truly loved the Lord and knew her Bible, I miss her very much I knew her many years !! So anyway this is very confusing since it is being drilled on both sides !! Seems to me that Jesus died for nothing if all sins past present and future sins!!! Seems to me that no one has the answer at all!!! Being saved is hard at best you are doom if you die before you repent ❓❓❓❓ seems Hell is going to get full of we do not tow the line and honestly it is in my opinion that no matter how hard to try you still could go to Hell!! Yes I believe in Jesus and yes I am no where near being perfect if I was I would be in Heaven !!! I wish I had the answers but seems that some of us is not 💯💯💯💯 sure anymore and that's scary cuz you really think you are going to Heaven cuz you believe in Jesus but now it is a question still remains can you lose your salvation❓❓ seems not everyone can say yes cuz they may start to think or believe their name is blotted out!!! Very confused, I really thought once your name is in the book it's there for eternity now I am starting to have doubts!! Scary right❓
Tiff, if one cannot comprehend the complete essence of Christ, how can one get behind the pulpit? If God gave one the gift of eternal life only for one to lose it, why would he give it to them in the first place and make himself a lier? Does he not promise to finish the work he started? Does he not state that no one can snatch him from his hand? Doesn’t the father give us to the son, would he have to take us back from Jesus? Could you imagine Jesus throwing a “once” born again Christian into hell? What about the angels rejoicing with each sinner saved, does God have to go back and tell them it was in vain? Is God not Sovereign? Have you heard of these who are apostates and it refers to them? You must figure this out because I cannot follow your guidance on anything further. The last thing one should do is incorrectly represent God. Look at Mathew 7:21-23, this does not apply to the outliers, the ones out on the fringe who openly hate God, it is for those so close but missed it. If one knows Jesus and Jesus knows them, they cannot become unknown, ever.
Overcomers..those who are not lukewarm Christians..who are right with God who walk the narrow path not the wide path...who finished the race...all biblical..will not have their name erased from the book of life.
Hmmm. I know we can't be certain, and I respect erring on the side of caution, but this would mean what I learned about "eternal salvation" through Faith in Christ's finished work on the cross could be false. I thought once born again, always born again. Oh man, I need discernment! How can something so critical be left to doubt? Why would this not be iron clad and clear in the Bible???
I thought for sure my name had already been blotted out of the Book of Life.The Bible is the absolute undeniable word of God.I recieved Jesus in the late 80s as my Lord and Savior..Only He is the one true God.I know beyond certain that His grace is the only thing that saves me.I thought my name for sure.blotted out..because of my numerous backsliding and addiction.I am so ashamed...not much of an overcomer...I know that He continues to be undeservably kind..I don't deserve it..but that is grace.I once was so dedicated to seeing him.I told Him that I am so ashamed that I dont think I can even look at Him.Then I realized I must.I want to see what pure love looks like..and He is pure love
I believe that Tiff is right and those that disagree with him are also right. How? One can confess Jesus. At that moment be saved. The question is the following? What it sincere with the heart or was it emotional? If it was emotional. With time and weak teaching one can live a life, just like a typical religion with no change into righteousness. Relying in "grace" for salvation. In the other hand. Someone with a deep conviction, running into the hands of God. Wanting nothing more that to live for Christ. With the fear of the Lord and making every day the walk into righteousness. He will never get his name removed. Some " christians" are living a light, superficial walk. The only difference they have with the world is : They go to church on Sundays. You might not be that type. But many are. You are saved into righteousness. Not saved to continue your same walk, knowing that you are cover by "grace". That abuse of grace is what is keeping many stuck in this world. Not everybody that confesses Jesus is a son of God.
according to David Pawson....salvation is in three grammatical tenses....past, present, and future, indicating that salvation is a process, not an event.....and it isnt done, till its over...
I think the conflict is about, ¿are all Christians overcomers? 2ndly, the foundation of one's belief "Once Saved-Always Saved" determines how one would view Rev 3:5. Thanks
Why would God, who is supremely Holy and knows all, add someone's name to the Book of Life only to later remove it as if He didn't know the true nature of that person? God does not make mistakes. There is absolutely no reason for God to add the names of people that He already knew would eventually stray or never really allowed the Word to take root in their souls . God knows all so there is no need for Him to add a name and then erase it. Knowing His character, it does not make sense for Him to do that. Just imagine God saying this "Oh wow, let me write this person's name down." Few years later as if He didn't know...."Oh no, I must erase (blot out) this name because that person turned away from me." Makes no sense for God to do this! This goes against His character!
I think you misunderstood it. Remember, God has given us free will to choose, He is all knowing, He could have as well decided to control us and made us to serve him only which would have been possible. That's why he gave us the free will so that he can see who truly is choosing him willingly. That's why out of the power you have of decision making, you can choose him today and tomorrow you fall back, if you do not stand up again, sorry that's when the blotting out happens. It's entirely your decision whether He knows your begging to your ending.
Following this logic, you could also say that an all knowing God would not allow people, who will eventually goo to hell, to even be born. This thinking takes away all ability to practice free will and choose to follow Jesus based on faith. All day long we make decisions to either do wrong or right.
That would bring you back to study who is right among Calvinism and Armenianism! You are still wrestling with "determinism" and "free will"! To rephrase your question, you are likely to be saying: "Why did God created Adam and Eve although He knows they will disobey"? That makes you to think: "were they (Adam and Eve) given free will"?
When I have trusted Christ, my name is written in the book of life, and I can rest in His salvation forever. "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that you may KNOW that you have eternal life" ( 1 John 5:13). My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.” (John 10:27). Isn't Eternal Life God's gift?
If we will fully sin Jesus can wipe out our name, if we repent he cleans us and forgive, but to go and into the old lifestyle is a dog back to his vomit, then does Jesus have to die a second time for me, being a sinner again? Not at all, but it can. Make the Holy Spirit grieved, and this could lead to the rejection and no more pardon of sin
God knows the thoughts and intents of the heart of every person on earth. He knows us more than we know ourselves. Therefore, He would not add a name to the Book of Life unless it truly belonged there. There is no reason for the true believer not to fully trust in the fact that their name will not be removed from the Book of Life. I'm disturbed by the ending of this video that says otherwise. It is not God's character to not know us or make a mistake about the true intent of every person.
Jesus said "I KNOW my sheep and my sheep "KNOW" me and I give them ETERNAL LIFE. They follow me where I go and they WILL NOT listen to the voice of the stranger. If you KNOW Jesus, then you already have eternal life... you are saved by the grace of GOD. At the Great White Throne judgement, there were those who said to Jesus... "we preached in your name and we cast out demons in your name"... but Jesus replied... "I NEVER knew you" (therefore, they NEVER knew Him to begin with even though they professed to be followers) if you could lose your salvation then Jesus would have said 'you knew me once and were saved but then ye turned your back and walked away of your own free will' Jesus didn't say that... He said "I NEVER knew you" When Paul told the people about salvation by grace through faith alone they then said..."should we not sin more so that grace should abound more"; but Paul replied, "certainly not". Those who are saved, and know it, have a love for Jesus/God that surpasses all understanding; how could you possibly 'walk away' from someone that you love. It makes no sense.
"White remnant" that they wear is their walk keeping His law. If you are obedient to God's word you will not be blotted out of His book, but if you don't you can be blotted out. "And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." (Revelation 22:19). If you hold onto any sin you will be blotted out of His book. Sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4). Not worshiping on Sabbath and worshiping on Sunday is sin.
I'm confused, and I struggle with Tiff's stance here. We cannot do anything, except to genuinely accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, to have eternal life. Jesus already did everything else for us. If we then need to be overcomers, after we are saved, this sounds like "our works will earn eternal life," and this diminishes what Jesus did on the cross. Jesus IS the overcomer.
No, according to Revelation 3:5, Jesus assures believers that He will never blot out their names from the Book of Life. This verse provides comfort and assurance that once a person is in the Book of Life, they are in there forever. It is a message of security and confidence in the eternal salvation that believers have through Jesus Christ. The New Testament emphasizes that through Jesus, believers are overcomers, clothed with Christ, and conquerors, ensuring that every believer belongs to the group that will never be removed from the Book of Life (Revelation 3:5; Galatians 3:27; Revelation 12:11; Romans 8:37). This truth underscores the unchanging nature of God's love and the eternal security of those who are in Christ.
No, according to Revelation 3:5, Jesus promises that He will never blot out the name of a believer from the Book of Life. This verse provides assurance that once a person is saved and their name is written in the Book of Life, it will never be erased. The New Testament consistently affirms the security of believers in Christ, assuring them of their eternal standing in God's family (John 10:28-29; Romans 8:38-39). Therefore, as a believer in Christ, you can rest assured that your name will never be blotted out of the Book of Life.
If Creator Omniscient God ERASES (blots out) even one NAME from the BOOK OF LIFE which is in Heaven, Creator OMNISCIENT GOD will have to erase the ATTRIBUTE of OMNISCIENCE attached to HIS HOLY NAME. That is impossible to even think of.
Why does the bible say God is not the author of confusion?This is not the only issue that I don't understand.Why does the body of christ debate the timing of the rapture.I guess the only way to be sure your going to heaven is be left behind and not deny christ and be beheaded.This not meant to be a smart elic comment.I'm sincere.I'M CONFUSED AND FRUSTRATED.
BRO. TIFF ; ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE , A TRUE BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN ( BELIEVER ) WILL NOT BE BLOTTED OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE ! FIRST JOHN , CHAPTER 5 john 10; 27-29 Ephesians , chapter 1
Your name cannot be blotted out of the book of life unless your name was already in the book of life. PS. Satan was an anointed cherub saved by God but then Satan and 1/3 of the Angels fell from Grace and their names were blotted out of the Book of life.
Greetings, Brother. Your post reminded me of what I heard a few weeks back that Paul & Heudi Begley pointed out when they were asked this question. Paul said that the bible DOES give clear warning for some reason. I think I would rather be safe than sorry ESPECIALLY on THIS important topic; amen?
@@kevinboutwell2243 Now I'm not so sure but I think in Ezekiel 28 there was someone who was an anointed cherub but then wickedness was found in that person. But that still doesn't mean this person's name was blotted out. But is it true that people's names were in the book of life and only then were they blotted out. It doesn't say that their names were not written in the book of life, no, it says their names are blotted out, which means that first their names were written in the book of life and then they were blotted out.
@@gossman75 i used the blue letter bible app to look up all instances of blotted out and there were 6 I believe. Theres no instance of a angels being blotted out. I agree everybody’s name must be in the book of life at first to be able to blot it out or that statement wouldn’t make sense. I know the age of accountability appears to be 20 so that even puts another kink in it.
@@gossman75 hey Brandon i just watched a bible study by david reid on the book of life and its a eye opener. I don’t know if you’ve heard of him but he’s one guy i listen to and is extremely thorough. Just type in Columbus Bible Church book of life and it should come up. The answer using scripture is very interesting.

Thanks TIFF
I get it brother. This why only a small amount of beliver will make it. Sad but true.
I have watched about 6 so far of your videos and I understand you as mu trusted source
It's quite easy to understand. Accept what the text says. The key is to "overcome" Jesus said in Matt 24; he who "continues to the end" will be saved
Can or will Jesus Christ ...... UN.... REDEEM HIS CHILDREN? CHECK MATE
Does overcome mean more works,praying more, etc. how much is enough? Is it not all of grace. When does the Holy Spirit leave a believer. Ephesians 1:13.
We MUST fight the good fight until the end!!!
Matthew 24:13 King James Version (KJV) But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
He who overcomes is he who believes Jesus is the Son of God (1 John) @@fredbrown1418
k j v 1 jh /chapter 5 verse 4, for whatsoever is born of god overcometh the world, and this is the victory that overcometh the world , even our faith /verse 5, who is he that overcometh the workd, but he that beliveth that jesus is the son of god?
Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.
1Corinthians 3:11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he builds survives, he will receive his reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.
I love you Tiff and have the utmost respect for you. I agree to error on the side of caution so no man enter eternal destruction. I think Christians should live their life ready to meet Jesus.
The Bible describes salvation as an event that immediately and irrevocably changes our destiny from eternal separation to eternal life in God's presence. It happens the moment we ask for it in faith, and is made possible through a pardon purchased for us with the blood of God's Son our Lord Jesus. Then comes sanctification, the process of living our lives in submission to the indwelling Holy Spirit.
I am a faithful student of yours and will be as long as God allows me to be on this earth.
The text is a literary device called a litote i.e. a negative emphasis of a positive. Jesus said that all the Father has given He would not lose one. If salvation depends on us, we are back to works and one can never have peace. In Matthew 7, there are those commending themselves on the basis of what they did. If our names were written in the Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundations of the earth and you are then erased, it means God is not omniscient i.e. he didn’t know who is truly saved. If someone professes Christ but shows no fruit, they were never saved to begin with. In 1 John it says that those who went out from them were never of them meaning not true believers. The bottom line is the question how can I know if I have lived a holy enough life to keep my place in the Book of Life and the answer to that is that the righteousness of God is found only in Christ otherwise we are back to Judaism and Catholicism. I cling to Christ and Christ alone because I am a sinner.
What I’ve always thought about this verse is .. that everyone’s name when they are born, is written into the book of life. After all it’s the book of life , so then, if that person does not receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior in their lifetime, then their name will be erased, or blotted out 🤷♀️. I don’t know just sounds right to me.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in Him will I trust
Brother Tiff, I have respect for you as a teacher of the Word of God. But I do not base my Salvation on my feelings or what I am comfortable with or what seems like a "safe zone." I base my Salvation on the Word of God and that Word (Christ) can not lie. Regardless of how I feel and my feelings can change daily, God's Word is always truth. Salvation is a gift that can't be earned, it is freely given by God the Father upon our faith in his Son's atoning work on the Cross at Calvary. Jesus didn't just cover our sin with his Blood, he also became our Sin, God the Father turned away from him in that moment on the Cross and allowed it out of his great love for the World. (John 3:16) (2 Cor. 5:21) God is Eternal, all Powerful, Everywhere Present and All Knowing, therefore the day that I accepted Jesus into my heart as my Savior, God the Father already knew every sin I had committed up to that moment in time and every sin I would and will commit until the day I take my last breath. Jesus became every single one of those sins and even every thought that doesn't measure up to the holiness that God would require, on my behalf on Calvary. Once for all! Praise be to our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God! Whom the Son has freed is free indeed! (John 8:36) I am now a child of God, God is my Abba, Daddy, Father and he will not disown me and erase or blot my name out of the Lambs Book of Life. I can be secure in that knowledge! Being Born Again and yet still living in my carnal flesh, I am none the less The Temple of the Holy Spirit. I no longer belong to myself, I belong to God having been bought, purchased with the price of the Blood of his Son, my Savior Jesus Christ. (I Cor. 6:20) Some call this Hyper Grace. I call it AMAZING GRACE! God loves me so much he would rather die than spend eternity without me. If that doesn't seal my Salvation then nothing can. Am I giving license to sin and fall away? Certainly not! We are to Love God with all our heart and our neighbor as ourself. Proof (evidence ) of our Love is our obedience to him. (John 14:15) I will always sin and I will be wrong many many times in my life. God has already forgiven that! Sins past, present and future! (Yes, when The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin we must repent of it in order to remain in right relationship with God our Father. If we don't our sins can have concequences, even our own physical death, but no longer Hell) 1 Cor. 3:15 So, I can only say that here by the Grace of God go I. It is not me but Christ in me! He is enough even though I will never be enough. My favorite scripture verse is 2 Timothy 1:12 "for which cause I also suffer these things; neverthess I am not ashamed. For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that Day." KJV
Peace and Love to you Brother Tiff, in Christ.
God bless you sister. It's sad that so many are being misguided when it comes to TRUE salvation.
Matthew 7:13-14
Brother Tiff: Praise God Almighty for your dedication to the "Rightly Dividing of The Word Of God." I want to acknowledge your restraint in having to be respectful and not Burst Into Laughter when describing people's conduct in this age. Your teaching and preaching style is such a Golden Treasue to us all. Please know and feel the true love of fellow Christians who are so greatly blessed by your teachings. 👍🙏
Just know for yourself that your works are not what makes you an overcomer! It's the endwelling of the Holy Spirit through Yashua that enables you to be an overcomer. If your salvation is dependent on you, you would surely lose it! Yashua knows We have little strength, he said so! But He is love and He loved us first! And the definition of love is: Doing the thing for someone else that you KNOW they can not do for themselves! And how many times did Yashua show us that?
A BIG Amen!
How can Jesus Christ, UN.. REDEEMS HIS CHILD AFTER HE REDEEMS THEM ?OSAS IS VERY TRUE,
Thank you for your point of view brother Tiff. Your teachings have helped me grow in my faith and I thank the Lord for bringing your teachings into my life.
I learned from you to cross reference other passages from other parts of the Bible to study a point of view. In doing so for this passage, a couple of passages come to mind. John 10:27, John 6:39-40. I do hold to once saved always saved because of these passages and all of Gods promises throughout the Bible and as you well know, it’s impossible for him to break his promise.
Knowing I cannot lose my salvation only makes me love my God even more. Simone thinking they can lose their salvation has no peace or assurance. The Bible also says we can know that we have eternal life. 1 John 5:13.
Thank you brother Tiff! God bless you and everyone in the chat!
1s john chapter 3 verse 2 beloved NOW ARE WE THE SONS OF GOD , he will not blot out his sons name. lost forever if you dont get born again ,saved forever if you are born again amen.
This is a subject i have always pondered. I pray all Fathers children stand fast in his word. That no one be erased.😮🤗🙏🏼❤️🛡️⚔️🗡️🙏
Will or CAN Jesus Christ EVER ,,,UN.. REDEEM HIS CHILDREN ?
Thank you Pastor for loving us so much ❤ to clarify such important Biblical information God our Fsther wants us to underdtsnd GOD BLESS YOU!
Thank you for your life and teachings
How I read it is if someone who has professed to be a Christian then lives a life totally opposite , God can erase that name. The bible seems to state that a name can be erased…so why is that wording there?
I know none of us is perfect but with the grace and mercy of God , He can and will help us to become over-comers 🤗🙏🏼
SO ,,, U ,,, BELIVE JESUS CHRIST WILL AND CAN .. UN ,, REDEEME HIS CHILDREN ? REALY
Thats what the buble says the bery words if jesus in revelation yes really.
what words ?jesus will un redeem his own children ?
OSAS and Psalms 69:28 I believe the Psalmist was talking about those who were physically living at David's time, to be blotted out from the Land of the Living! He was asking GOD to take out his enemies that affected his soul and for them to go to Sheol.
Osas is southern Baptist belief. But i do not believe you will always be saved if you fall from Grace and never repent before death. If you repent and God forgives you and is restored to God then yes your name can not be blotted out. We are commanded to be faithful to the end.
Wow, this is scripture I always wanted to know about. You were right about trying to look at Google or other sites about questions on the book of life. I read so many different views on it and my heart was not content on those answers. I agree with you on this scripture and I really feel peaceful on what you said. I teach bible studies at my home and this will be my next study. Thank you for your teachings and my prayers are with you and your ministry. God bless.
What interesting about Rev 3:5kjv is it says the opposite of what our apostle Paul says in Col 2:10-17kjv. The believers sins have already been forgiven. The question about salvation is are we saved. If we are asking forgiveness every day we are most likely not saved. Our gospel today says we are saved if we believe Christ died for our sins was buried and rose again the third day 1 Cor 15:1-4. Asking Christ forgiveness every day means we don’t believe our gospel and as 1 Cor 15:3 says we believed in vain
Kevin , You will sin and if you say you don`t sin you are calling God a liar .
1 John 1: 8 - 9 - 10 ; I ask God to for give me of my sins most every time I pray
The spirit will convict you of sin and you ask forgiveness . and I don`t believe in vain , Christ died one time for sins past present and future sin . and when we sin the blood of Christ is at the throne to cover my sins . It does not have any thing to do with believing the Gospel . That is what save us .
@@donaldcooley897 thats why 2 Tim 2:15 is there because he said we have to divide the truth. Isaiah 28:10 says For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
Your choosing the gospel you like because you think you have to add to what Jesus already said he did. The scripture you quoted and Col 2:10-17 are exact opposite. Yours is to the tribulation Jew and Pauls is to the body of Christ. The body of Christ is gonna get judged by Jesus Christ according to Pauls gospel the Lord gave to Paul Rom 2:16. Paul said in Col 2:10-17 the believers today is complete in Him and already forgiven all trespasses and also blotted the law out for the believer. That future conversation about right division you and the Lord will have is between y’all.
@@kevinboutwell2243 There is but one Gospel the Gospel of Christ , By faith in the Gospel
we have eternal life that is his death , burial
and resurrection , when God by his word convicted me that I was a sinner 73 + years
ago , I repented and was brought to Christ
For salvation , I excepted him and was saved my sin were washed away by the blood of Christ , Christ died one time for sins past, present and future , and I was indwell with the spirit , at the same time I was baptized into the body of Christ by the spirit which is his Church. 1 Cor, 12 : 13 ; and 2 Cor. 5 : 17 says if a man be in Christ he is a new Creature ,(CREATION ) I was born again from above . I am in in Christ and he is in me there can be no sin left in you or the the spirit will no inter . but we live in the flesh and we will sin in the flesh but we ask and God will for Give us an cleanse us of our sins 1 John 1 : 8 - 9 - 10;
Romans 2 : 16 ; when I stand before God
I will not be Judged for my sin , Christ `s
blood has already cleansed me of My sins .
and I now stand Justified and stand righteous by faith in Christ . There is no other way of salvation . there is no other Gospel except the Gospel of Christ .
You sound like you don`t know salvation in Christ is all about . you are saved by faith in Christ or you are not saved .
@@donaldcooley897 i see you avoided anything to do with opposing scripture because today’s religious systems aren’t teaching it and they avoid anything they don’t understand. You know what to say but don’t understand the scripture well enough to stop asking forgiveness. You cant be under they scripture i gave you and Israels at the same time. I’m sure you believe the Matt 28 great Commission is written to you and we are suppose to teach all nations whatsoever he commanded and to baptize all nations in the name of the father son and Holy Ghost. This is absolutely clear if rightly divided this hasn’t happened yet and not being fulfilled today. Paul cannot be fulfilling this being sent not to baptize and he even thanked God for it. If Paul is our apostle which the bible says he is why is his scripture a mystery before him and in Gal 2:6-7 why is Paul given the gospel OF the uncircumcised and Peter the Gospel OF the circumcision. Also why was Paul able to add but they didn’t. Israel is promise eternity one earth and the body of Christ is eternal in the heavens. Paul is given the dispensation of grace for us gentiles in Eph 3:1-10 and preaches according to the mystery kept secret sense the world began Rom 16:25-26. I apologize for sounding rough about this but 99% of people out there only believe what doctrine they learned since they were born in their religion and i was one of them.
@@kevinboutwell2243 The mystery that was kept secret is the Church The body of saved believers it was a mystery to the the Jews
and some are still blind to the fact that salvation is only by faith believing on Christ who they crucified . there is only one way of salvation , that is by faith believing on.
Christ and being indwell with the spirit of God that seals our salvation Eph. 1 :13 ;
I sin everyday either in thought, word or deed. I wish however being sinless was as easy as pushing a button. I think you are right, Jesus was pertaining to those who deliberately sin without a care and take his grace and Salvation for granted called hyper or greasy grace.
Hyper or greasy grace is not something talked about in scripture. They are man made names . I do not believe a born again person can sin without a care, just isn't possible. I do believe what Jesus promises, those who belong to Him , none will He lose.
@@kimwestwood8840 Come to think of it your right. I guess those who take Grace for granted perhaps weren't genuine about Salvation due to a misunderstanding of the greatest gift and miracle of all. Idk.
@@the7tongardengnome I think the misunderstanding today comes from the perversion of the gospel today. Paul warned of a false gospel which is not good news, but puts salvation on the person rather than resting on the finished work of the cross.

Yes I believe yes, if I backslide after repenting and go back into my old ways, but offcause this loving God is not a toy, if we sow in the flesh we reap death, and walk by the Spirit of God reap life, but we know Jesus does forgive, but we must not test God
Thank you Tiff Shuttleworth so so lucky to listen to your teachings!
I believe you, I have a friend that was counseling me on my narcissists husband and she told me that it was not my problem to worry about my husband’s soul . I have been praying for God to change his heart before he passes because it worries me , well last Sunday he died 3 times and they saved him three times, when he came to after the pacemaker was put in him , he was so grateful to be alive and everyone that has visited him has said God still has a purpose for his life . I’m still praying that God can break through his stubbornness and prideful spirit and put God first , me second and , my concern is his soul he is in bad health and going down fast . I thought what she said wasn’t biblical at all , we are to be concerned about all souls not just your family . We have to have enough of God word to discern what people are telling us , we can’t believe everything people say if it doesn’t match Gods word then I will not be trusting their advice . I love the way you explain things from the word , God has given you great wisdom and you have really helped a lot of people bring understanding to scriptures. I’m so glad I found your U tube channel.
Some friend who gave that advice! I thought marriage was a covenant and wife should support her husband. That is great you are concerned for him.
I relize you are preaching stright from GOD'S word and l love what you are saying, and teaching, because GOD'S wprd is YEA and AMEN, and l enjoy listing to you, may the good GOD in the heaven's BLESS this ministry in JESUS'S NAME.
Thankyou.

Thank you tiff for your wonderful ministry.May God bless you. From malaysia
The Apostle John described what an overcomer is, and he never stated that an overcomer overcomes sin or anything else works based. Otherwise we save ourselves and the cross is needless as stated in Eph. 2:8-9 and Galatians 2:21. No he said the following👇🏿
1 John 5:4-5 (KJV) 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
According to John an overcomer is the one who believes Jesus is the Son of God and has been born again. That’s it. Its not our works….its Christ’s work that is sufficient.
false..Jesus made it clear thst he that endures to the end will be saved..once saved always saved is a lie and it says Faith w no works is dead
@@thegrigs777 then Jesus lied.
John 6:37 (KJV) All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
John 10:29 (KJV) My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.👈Notice He said NO man, including yourself.
Plus Paul would have lied.
Ephesians 4:30 (KJV) And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
And Jude would have lied.
Jude 1:24 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
Do you honestly believe all these men lied? I don’t, scripture must not contradict scripture, and we know Jesus cannot lie, therefore your interpretations must be in error. Our works, doing His commandments, etc. do not justify👉Romans 3:28 (KJV) Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 👈FAITH ALONE. We are born again through faith alone, it is Christ’s work on the cross shedding His blood for the remission of sins 👉Romans 5:9 (KJV) Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.👈It does not say “justified by our works”. It says BY HIS BLOOD.
Galatians 2:21 says Galatians 2:21 (KJV) I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.👉if our works justify then Christ and His cross was not necessary and His death was vanity. That is a lie! Refuted by many scriptures. And those Christ saves through His blood are His forever because HE does the saving, not us. It is HIM alone and He keeps those who are HIS. When you deny the eternal security of the believer, you are robbing Christ of His glory and His redemptive power. Plus you focus on your own efforts or “works” and end up trusting your own self for salvation. Dude, you can’t save yourself.
What works did the thief on the cross do? None, he was hanging on a cross, all he had time for was to believe and ask the Lord to save him! And yet Jesus told him he was saved, without works. Yes faith without works is dead, because it is evidence its a dead faith, a non saving faith. And genuine saving faith will love Christ, follow Him, and strive to keep His Word. That is the sanctification or discipleship process that lasts a lifetime. Justification, however, is an instantaneous process the moment you believe and are born again, it is spiritual regeneration (Titus 3:5). And what is born cannot be unborn, what is regenerated cannot be unregenerated. Do not confuse justification with sanctification, or believe in faith plus works. That is not salvation, thats a different gospel Paul refuted all throughout Galatians.
@@thegrigs777 we are saved by grace through faith not our works its the gift of God an no one can boast about it. yes once saved always saved is false if we think we can live in the same daily or hourly sin an not seek forgiveness an think we will go to heaven when we die.Our works dont get us to heaven unless we call confessing sins to jesus a work as well as attemoting to witness to lost souls a work even if they dont chose Christ. Our works help us with heavenly reward But Dont at all link to our salvation at all we cant earn it work for it pay for it or anything like that.we just confess our sins believe that Jesus is Lord an God raised him from the dead as we will be saved. I dont understand outside of being human why Christians argue about Gods Word while we do that satan is gaining souls in Hell an laughing at al the belivers different opinions on the Bible
Great teaching. WISE brother Tim because your accountability is greater! Matthew 24:13 King James Version (KJV) But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Thank u so much for this teaching.
Love you pastor Tiff ....and God bless you ....
Once saved, always saved. We are God’s children and we backslide and we sin, but if we are truly saved we cannot live away from God for any length of time without the Holy Spirit convicting us. I discern somewhere in the belief we could be blotted out involves a working on our part to be ‘good’ to go to Heaven. Only the blood of Christ will get me to Heaven. Only God’s grace because I am not worthy. Self righteous Christians disgust me.
If your name is not found in the book of life you will NOT be saved & go into heaven. That is the scripture.
If your name is blotted out bc of the reasons given in God's word, in Revelation 3 :5 & 22: 18 & 19 that says it about as plain as it can be said!
Our opinions don't change that, or our actions either.
And Jesus Christ will not ever ,,,,, UN... REDEEME HIS CHILDREN
Thank you for this very much important information needed to help us see this Verse from Revelation....I so consider you as a trusted source of learning the word of God 🙏 thank you......
It seems probable that all who enter the world have their names written in the Lamb's book of life and are safe in Him until they reach an age of accountability, and become conscious sinners. At
that point, they are spiritually dead and need salvation, but their names are not actually blotted out of the book of life until they have irrevocably rejected Christ.
Barry Seal . Read the scriptures , Romans 5 : 12 ; we are all sinners from birth . we are born dead in sin , separated from God . That is why we have to be born again .
with the spirit . There is one thing brother Tiff . didn`t address . By the grace of God we are saved by faith in Christ . when we Get saved , we are Baptized in to the body of Christ by the spirit , 1 Cor. 12 : 13 ; If a man be in Christ he is a new creature ( Creation ) born from above .2 Cor. 5 : 17 It is not the man of flesh who is written in the book of Life it is the new man born from God , 1 John 3 : 9 ; the only thing that the born again person will lose is rewards , which will be burned . 1 Cor. 3 : 11 - 15 . God Bless , you and Brother Tiff .
@@donaldcooley897 so all baby's that die before reaching the age of accountability go to hell? Everything you said in your comment I agree with. One thing you forgot to mention in your comment though, is that when we get saved we are also sealed by that same spirit that we are baptized into the body of Christ by. John 6:37-40 also says that Christ looses no one that the Father gives Him. John 10:27-30 also says that they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of Christ hand, or the Fathers hand.
@@barryseal4853 Yes we are sealed by the same spirit . Praise the Lord . I have always believed in eternal security of the saved believer .
Scripture says we are all born in sin. We cannot say every name is written- there's no scripture to support it.
I remember being saved at the age of 14 years. As I grew I began to drift away from God and Biblical truths. I spent many years living in complete disobedience to God’s Word. If I died in that moment I can only imagine what my fate would have been. Nevertheless, I believe that it all comes down to repentance. As Christians we are all tempted and sometimes led astray. The Holy Spirit will convict us and we have free will to repent or continue on our path of eternal damnation. “ If we confess our sins “. Also “His mercies are renewed each day “. God knows our weakness and that we could slip, so each day He is waiting to forgive us , and receive His children just like the prodigal son. It does not matter how long we stray ….. provisions are made for our save return to the fold . There are some who die in their disobedience and never return to Christ. It’s like being in class…. If you are absent , your name is not recorded. I am present and accounted for in Christ , my Lord !!!
Another good solid teaching! Thank you brother Tiff
WILL Jesus Christ EVER,,,,, un,,, redeeme his children ? OR CAN HE ?OSAS IS VERY TRUE IF U DONT BELIVE JESUS CHRIST U R CALLING HIM A LIAR
Thank you Sir. You're a blessing.!
Excellent teaching
Thank you
God bless you Sir. Amen✝️🙏Esther, India
Thanks for the teaching
Tiff.. that view was very well put.. i agree with you 100%.. id say .. people can take it how they want.. but they ought to read all 7 letters.. id tell them you are talking about eternity.. is it worth the gamble.. much love to you brother.. id love to sit down and chat with you sometime..
Believe me brother Tiff you are my source of info. Thank you so so much for explaining to someone as simple as me.
I would like to tell everyone this, OUR GOD IS A GOD WHO CANNOT LIE, he is so real and belive you me our GOD is a sprit and they that worship him must worship him in sprit and in TRUTH
TRUST GOD.
Yes, our name will bw blotted out from the Book of Life. Rev. 3: 5. Why ? 1) "For I have found thy works perfect before God. " ( Jam. 2:22! ). 2) Spiritually dead, defiled their garments ( not holy,,,not righteous ) They are the ones whom God give them a command to "REPENT". Those who hear the warnings and do repent is called the overcomer.
"For I have NOT FOUND thy works PERFECT". ..is the reason why our name will be blotted-out from the Book Of Life. ..because his faith to our Lord Jesus Christ is not PERFECT. God wants us to be perfect ( Gen. 17:1, Mt. 5:48, Col. 4:12, Heb. 13:21, James 2:22). "Away from me, I never knew you, you workers of iniquity " . Mt. 7:23 (21-23). Christians who are DIS-OBEDIENCE to the will of God are workers of iniquity...he cannot enter into the Kingdom of heaven....his name is already blotted-out because of iniquity. Anything which is UNHOLY ,,,,UNRIGHTEOUS is iniquity before God.
Good solid teaching!
I AGREE WITH YOU TIFF. I WENT THROUGH THE BACKSLIDDEN LIFE GOD WARNED ME OF NASHING OF TEETH SEVERAL TIMES OVER. GOD ALSO WARNED ME BECAUSE I KNEW. I LEFT THE FAITH WENT BACK TO WORLD IN TO MY OLD WAYS GOD WARNED ME AND ALSO LET ME KNOW I WOULD BE LEFT BEHIND FOR THE RAPTURE. GOD BLESS ALL
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:21-23
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 2 Timothy 2:15,16
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.For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. Revelation 21:14,15
John 6:29 KJV Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. NLT Translation: Jesus told them, This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.
I'm in Colombia, south america and enjoy your teachings muxh
Do u belive Jesus Christ will UN REDEEM HIS CHILDREN?
Here is a question for you Pastor, what if you backslide and you willing or do not repent yet you truly believe in Jesus but die before you repent❓❓❓I have asked different pastors on this since others also states the same answers ,, one says yes your name is blotted out and you are no longer saved another says no once you are in the book is never going to be erased! Both sides says scriptures !! I am trying to read the Holy Bible I have a work book that My dear friend gave me before she died she was a Godly woman and truly loved the Lord and knew her Bible, I miss her very much I knew her many years !! So anyway this is very confusing since it is being drilled on both sides !! Seems to me that Jesus died for nothing if all sins past present and future sins!!! Seems to me that no one has the answer at all!!! Being saved is hard at best you are doom if you die before you repent ❓❓❓❓ seems Hell is going to get full of we do not tow the line and honestly it is in my opinion that no matter how hard to try you still could go to Hell!! Yes I believe in Jesus and yes I am no where near being perfect if I was I would be in Heaven !!! I wish I had the answers but seems that some of us is not 💯💯💯💯 sure anymore and that's scary cuz you really think you are going to Heaven cuz you believe in Jesus but now it is a question still remains can you lose your salvation❓❓ seems not everyone can say yes cuz they may start to think or believe their name is blotted out!!! Very confused, I really thought once your name is in the book it's there for eternity now I am starting to have doubts!! Scary right❓
Thank you sir. I really enjoy your teachings. When are you coming to Australia?
Where in Australia are you 🙂 im in Melbourne. God bless you 🕊️🙏🏼
Amen God Bless you brother
Tiff, if one cannot comprehend the complete essence of Christ, how can one get behind the pulpit? If God gave one the gift of eternal life only for one to lose it, why would he give it to them in the first place and make himself a lier? Does he not promise to finish the work he started? Does he not state that no one can snatch him from his hand? Doesn’t the father give us to the son, would he have to take us back from Jesus? Could you imagine Jesus throwing a “once” born again Christian into hell? What about the angels rejoicing with each sinner saved, does God have to go back and tell them it was in vain? Is God not Sovereign? Have you heard of these who are apostates and it refers to them? You must figure this out because I cannot follow your guidance on anything further. The last thing one should do is incorrectly represent God. Look at Mathew 7:21-23, this does not apply to the outliers, the ones out on the fringe who openly hate God, it is for those so close but missed it. If one knows Jesus and Jesus knows them, they cannot become unknown, ever.
Hebrews 6:4-6 answers the question.
Overcomers..those who are not lukewarm Christians..who are right with God who walk the narrow path not the wide path...who finished the race...all biblical..will not have their name erased from the book of life.
Hmmm. I know we can't be certain, and I respect erring on the side of caution, but this would mean what I learned about "eternal salvation" through Faith in Christ's finished work on the cross could be false. I thought once born again, always born again. Oh man, I need discernment! How can something so critical be left to doubt? Why would this not be iron clad and clear in the Bible???
I thought for sure my name had already been blotted out of the Book of Life.The Bible is the absolute undeniable word of God.I recieved Jesus in the late 80s as my Lord and Savior..Only He is the one true God.I know beyond certain that His grace is the only thing that saves me.I thought my name for sure.blotted out..because of my numerous backsliding and addiction.I am so ashamed...not much of an overcomer...I know that He continues to be undeservably kind..I don't deserve it..but that is grace.I once was so dedicated to seeing him.I told Him that I am so ashamed that I dont think I can even look at Him.Then I realized I must.I want to see what pure love looks like..and He is pure love
I believe that Tiff is right and those that disagree with him are also right. How? One can confess Jesus. At that moment be saved. The question is the following? What it sincere with the heart or was it emotional? If it was emotional. With time and weak teaching one can live a life, just like a typical religion with no change into righteousness. Relying in "grace" for salvation. In the other hand. Someone with a deep conviction, running into the hands of God. Wanting nothing more that to live for Christ. With the fear of the Lord and making every day the walk into righteousness. He will never get his name removed. Some " christians" are living a light, superficial walk. The only difference they have with the world is : They go to church on Sundays. You might not be that type. But many are. You are saved into righteousness. Not saved to continue your same walk, knowing that you are cover by "grace". That abuse of grace is what is keeping many stuck in this world. Not everybody that confesses Jesus is a son of God.
Either a wide road that’s comfortable or the narrow which is hard
according to David Pawson....salvation is in three grammatical tenses....past, present, and future, indicating that salvation is a process, not an event.....and it isnt done, till its over...
I think the conflict is about, ¿are all Christians overcomers? 2ndly, the foundation of one's belief "Once Saved-Always Saved" determines how one would view Rev 3:5. Thanks
******** 1 John 1 VS. 6 ------ 10 --- ***** What about King David ,although he repented. Also Samson ,is his name blotted out ?
The key is king David repented. We too can repent in this lifetime. But only before we die .
Why would God, who is supremely Holy and knows all, add someone's name to the Book of Life only to later remove it as if He didn't know the true nature of that person? God does not make mistakes. There is absolutely no reason for God to add the names of people that He already knew would eventually stray or never really allowed the Word to take root in their souls . God knows all so there is no need for Him to add a name and then erase it. Knowing His character, it does not make sense for Him to do that. Just imagine God saying this "Oh wow, let me write this person's name down." Few years later as if He didn't know...."Oh no, I must erase (blot out) this name because that person turned away from me." Makes no sense for God to do this! This goes against His character!
I think you misunderstood it. Remember, God has given us free will to choose, He is all knowing, He could have as well decided to control us and made us to serve him only which would have been possible. That's why he gave us the free will so that he can see who truly is choosing him willingly. That's why out of the power you have of decision making, you can choose him today and tomorrow you fall back, if you do not stand up again, sorry that's when the blotting out happens. It's entirely your decision whether He knows your begging to your ending.
Is God unfair in not choosing to save everyone?
Fair' would send everyone to hell. You don't want fair, you want mercy
Following this logic, you could also say that an all knowing God would not allow people, who will eventually goo to hell, to even be born. This thinking takes away all ability to practice free will and choose to follow Jesus based on faith. All day long we make decisions to either do wrong or right.
Read what God told moses about blotting out his name .
That would bring you back to study who is right among Calvinism and Armenianism!
You are still wrestling with "determinism" and "free will"!
To rephrase your question, you are likely to be saying: "Why did God created Adam and Eve although He knows they will disobey"?
That makes you to think: "were they (Adam and Eve) given free will"?
The problem with most preachers and teachers today, is understanding the Bible in its context. The key to understand Rev3:5 is v2 WORKS.
When I have trusted Christ, my name is written in the book of life, and I can rest in His salvation forever. "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that you may KNOW that you have eternal life" ( 1 John 5:13). My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.” (John 10:27). Isn't Eternal Life God's gift?
Thank you 🙏 from Danmark 🇩🇰 🇩🇰
Overcomer means believer which can not be removed again from the book of life.
Thanks brother Tiff.
Thanks Tiff.
I think the parable of the soil is very telling of this issue. Three of the soils did not bring forth the fruit of maturity.
Rev 5:3 is a promise of God, descriptive and not condition
If we will fully sin Jesus can wipe out our name, if we repent he cleans us and forgive, but to go and into the old lifestyle is a dog back to his vomit, then does Jesus have to die a second time for me, being a sinner again? Not at all, but it can. Make the Holy Spirit grieved, and this could lead to the rejection and no more pardon of sin
But we all still sin, and therefore we have not overcome.
God knows the thoughts and intents of the heart of every person on earth. He knows us more than we know ourselves. Therefore, He would not add a name to the Book of Life unless it truly belonged there. There is no reason for the true believer not to fully trust in the fact that their name will not be removed from the Book of Life. I'm disturbed by the ending of this video that says otherwise. It is not God's character to not know us or make a mistake about the true intent of every person.
Read Revelation 22:18-19.
Even a slight MISTAKE BY OMNISCIENT CREATOR GOD, will definitely cancel HIM as OMNISCIENT GOD. That will simply make HIM an IMAGINARY. MAN-MADE GOD.
Love u pastor tiff
Its possible fevelation last chapter says so like if you change Gods word your name will be. Blotted out
Revelation 22:18&19
Jesus said "I KNOW my sheep and my sheep "KNOW" me and I give them ETERNAL LIFE. They follow me where I go and they WILL NOT listen to the voice of the stranger. If you KNOW Jesus, then you already have eternal life... you are saved by the grace of GOD. At the Great White Throne judgement, there were those who said to Jesus... "we preached in your name and we cast out demons in your name"... but Jesus replied... "I NEVER knew you" (therefore, they NEVER knew Him to begin with even though they professed to be followers) if you could lose your salvation then Jesus would have said 'you knew me once and were saved but then ye turned your back and walked away of your own free will' Jesus didn't say that... He said "I NEVER knew you" When Paul told the people about salvation by grace through faith alone they then said..."should we not sin more so that grace should abound more"; but Paul replied, "certainly not". Those who are saved, and know it, have a love for Jesus/God that surpasses all understanding; how could you possibly 'walk away' from someone that you love. It makes no sense.
"White remnant" that they wear is their walk keeping His law. If you are obedient to God's word you will not be blotted out of His book, but if you don't you can be blotted out.
"And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." (Revelation 22:19). If you hold onto any sin you will be blotted out of His book. Sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4). Not worshiping on Sabbath and worshiping on Sunday is sin.
On this subject how would then john3:16 be true also how would that be for someone who accepts the Lord on their death bed?
Who is worthy to open the book of Life? Only Jesus is worthy he will tell you then.
I'm confused, and I struggle with Tiff's stance here. We cannot do anything, except to genuinely accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, to have eternal life. Jesus already did everything else for us. If we then need to be overcomers, after we are saved, this sounds like "our works will earn eternal life," and this diminishes what Jesus did on the cross.
Jesus IS the overcomer.
I think it’s more whether the person walked according to the spirit or did they choose the flesh
Hebrews 3: 6 & 14
No, according to Revelation 3:5, Jesus assures believers that He will never blot out their names from the Book of Life. This verse provides comfort and assurance that once a person is in the Book of Life, they are in there forever. It is a message of security and confidence in the eternal salvation that believers have through Jesus Christ. The New Testament emphasizes that through Jesus, believers are overcomers, clothed with Christ, and conquerors, ensuring that every believer belongs to the group that will never be removed from the Book of Life (Revelation 3:5; Galatians 3:27; Revelation 12:11; Romans 8:37). This truth underscores the unchanging nature of God's love and the eternal security of those who are in Christ.
He who overcomes. Who is he who overcomes? 1st John chapter 5. The church of Sardis was predominantly unbelievers
No, according to Revelation 3:5, Jesus promises that He will never blot out the name of a believer from the Book of Life. This verse provides assurance that once a person is saved and their name is written in the Book of Life, it will never be erased. The New Testament consistently affirms the security of believers in Christ, assuring them of their eternal standing in God's family (John 10:28-29; Romans 8:38-39). Therefore, as a believer in Christ, you can rest assured that your name will never be blotted out of the Book of Life.
But if you fall away from Him and living like the world you are no longer a believer
@@patriciasmith887 lol
you people just don't get it.
If Creator Omniscient God ERASES (blots out) even one NAME from the BOOK OF LIFE which is in Heaven, Creator OMNISCIENT GOD will have to erase the ATTRIBUTE of OMNISCIENCE attached to HIS HOLY NAME. That is impossible to even think of.
Why does the bible say God is not the author of confusion?This is not the only issue that I don't understand.Why does the body of christ debate the timing of the rapture.I guess the only way to be sure your going to heaven is be left behind and not deny christ and be beheaded.This not meant to be a smart elic comment.I'm sincere.I'M CONFUSED AND FRUSTRATED.
I have a question to ask, do you beliving in sewing seeds?
BRO. TIFF ; ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE , A TRUE BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN ( BELIEVER ) WILL NOT BE BLOTTED OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE ! FIRST JOHN , CHAPTER 5 john 10; 27-29 Ephesians , chapter 1
Once we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we receive Grace. Making us righteous! After that comes METANOIA! Look at the thieve on the cross.
What about Hebrews 6:4-6?
What do you think the age of accountability Pastor Tiff?
What about John 6: 36-40
Your name cannot be blotted out of the book of life unless your name was already in the book of life. PS. Satan was an anointed cherub saved by God but then Satan and 1/3 of the Angels fell from Grace and their names were blotted out of the Book of life.
Greetings, Brother. Your post reminded me of what I heard a few weeks back that Paul & Heudi Begley pointed out when they were asked this question.
Paul said that the bible DOES give clear warning for some reason. I think I would rather be safe than sorry ESPECIALLY on THIS important topic; amen?
Hey Brandon can u point out where satan is saved. I don't remember ever reading that
@@kevinboutwell2243 Now I'm not so sure but I think in Ezekiel 28 there was someone who was an anointed cherub but then wickedness was found in that person. But that still doesn't mean this person's name was blotted out. But is it true that people's names were in the book of life and only then were they blotted out. It doesn't say that their names were not written in the book of life, no, it says their names are blotted out, which means that first their names were written in the book of life and then they were blotted out.
@@gossman75 i used the blue letter bible app to look up all instances of blotted out and there were 6 I believe. Theres no instance of a angels being blotted out. I agree everybody’s name must be in the book of life at first to be able to blot it out or that statement wouldn’t make sense. I know the age of accountability appears to be 20 so that even puts another kink in it.
@@gossman75 hey Brandon i just watched a bible study by david reid on the book of life and its a eye opener. I don’t know if you’ve heard of him but he’s one guy i listen to and is extremely thorough. Just type in Columbus Bible Church book of life and it should come up. The answer using scripture is very interesting.
Psalm 69:28 kjv
