Can we lose that salvation i believe so if we totally turn away from him by rejecting the conviction of the holy spirit in our lives.I say that because as a new christian i accepted Christ into my life and the holy spirit was convicting me to surrender my heart to him as Lord and i was resisting him i would not surrender to him fully and so he gave me a choice to either accept him or reject him.I believe he gives everyone the chance to make that commitment as Lord of there life.When we make that deeper commitment and follow him he will continue to perfect us through his holy spirit so that we conform to his image.By the way i knew that if i rejected him at that point that was it he would never bother me again i would have been eternally lost the thought was terrifying at the time.There was definitely a spiritual battle being fought over me i was very aware i needed to decide which side i was on.Thankfully i chose the winning one.brentnz

The Bible tells Christians not to «lord it over people,» but rather to be one another's servants.

The Lord's Supper was a time for Christians to gather with one another, over an actual meal, where they would enjoy conversation and fellowship with one another.

From this description in 1 Corinthians 11, it appears that the Lord's Supper was a time for Christians to gather with one another, over an actual meal, where they would enjoy conversation and fellowship with one another.

To lord over others is the antithesis of Christian service (Luke 22:25 - 27) and results in a turning away from God; it is, therefore, a negation of self.

The Lord revealed that the problem was with my heart it is so wicked and deceptive i still believed that i was a good person i did nt drink or take drugs smoke or swear i wasnt violent i had some hangups but kept them to myself but this wicked thought was the reason why i couldnt get free.That was enough for the enemy to bring guilt and condemnation upon me.So when i confessed that my heart was indeed wicked and that i needed a new heart.I was instantly delivered and set free from the past and have not looked back though i am sometimes reminded by others for what i did wrong.It no longer has power over me.I believe we all struggle with two areas as christians we must confess our sin and we must confess our pride for without him we can do nothing.May the Lord show you what it is that is blocking you from receiving his love and forgiveness the issue will be found in your heart ask the Lord to reveal it for what it is.We do nt like to see the truth its ugly and i am sorry if this offends you it wasnt my intention.May he set you free as he has done for me.regards brentnz
