Also the Scriptures state that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God; how shall they hear without a preacher? A preacher is someone who boldly proclaims the Word of God. Thus this method seems foolish to the unbelieving, yet it is the method God has chosen, so that no flesh shall glory in His presence; in that when a sinner converts, the preacher cannot boast, but God alone gets the glory, since He (the Father), draws to salvation in conjunction with this chosen method of His.
In regards to the if you sin at all you go to hell; There are sin lists in the New Testament; 1 Cor 6:9,10, Rev 21:8 etc. I will say if anything has sinned once they deserve and are headed towards hell; unless they repent and believe on Jesus Christ. Since we live in a day and age (especially where I live) where many profess Christ, but live like devils. I often preach about true and false conversion. I hope that makes sense.
@NewMeNow2000 I preach because it's commanded, but it's up to God to draw the sinner unto repentance and faith. It's the method He has chosen, so I must obey.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Calvinism seems to contradict this scripture if God has chosen in eternity past those for heaven and those to perish because God would have had to use HIS will in deciding it. Unless we then say that although God was not willing he has willed it which then suggests God has an emotional will and an active will.
I don't understand why sinners make so many excuses to go to hell. You will reject the gospel whether or not it is being presented like this or some other way. Because you aren't interested in coming to God, so your "appeal" factor is meaningless. Just repent and love Jesus and stop your sinning against God.
@NewMeNow2000 That is the demands of the law, perfection; the purpose is to be a schoolmaster to bring others to Christ. The law slays the sinner and the gospel brings life.
What do you do with Luke 13:3,5; or Acts 20:21; Mark 1:15; Matt 3:8; Luke 3:8; Luke 5:32. 2 Cor 7:10 2 Pet 3:9etc. Many verses about repentance in the Bible. Do you believe someone must repent and believe to be saved? If so, how do you define repentance?
What if they professed Jesus and were openly a sodomite? In my city we have a "church" were they all believe they are Christians and live as sodomites and lesbians. If so, to what extent do you take this measure?
JESUS SAYS : WHO SINS AND REGRET TO HAVE OFFENDED HIM WILL PROPABLY BE SAVE AT THE HOUR OF DEATH COMPTING ON HIS INFINITE MERCY IF HE TRUSTED AT THAT TERRIBLE TIME. BUT IF THE SINNERS SIN AS A DESESPERATE ACT HE CRIES MORE ABOUT HES STATE THAN TO HAVE OFFENDED GOD OR JESUS. HELL IS IMMINENT. DESPAIR BRINGS TO HELLTHE WORSTS ARE EVEN THOSE ONES WHO DECLARE THE OFFENSE GREATER THAN HIS MERCY, NEVER PARDONNED. DO NOT DESPAIR FOLKS AND TRUST IN HIS MERCY.ST CAT.

@PicturaSonus The problem is your presupposition of the Christian religion regarding conversion is inaccurate. The premise for street preaching is that the Scriptures teach the command to go out and PREACH the gospel, which is publicly proclaiming and thereby distinguishing oneself from the crowd. In relation the Scriptures teach that the preaching of the cross to them who perish is foolishness, but unto us who believe it is the power of God unto salvation.
@LeEG0 u wont be saying that if u die without Jesus Christ. You dont have to go to hell. Listen to the words of Sean. You can be saved from eternal torment and seperation from God by repenting and accepting His Son Jesus. Remember that you were warned!

Why is that? Do you believe in true and false converts?
What do you do with Luke 13:3,5; or Acts 20:21; Mark 1:15; Matt 3:8; Luke 3:8; Luke 5:32. 2 Cor 7:10 2 Pet 3:9etc.

Potty mouth? How old are you, four?
