The only way we know if someone is saved is if they DO the commandments. John said this, John who was taught directly from Jesus, a chosen apostle. 1 John 2:3 And this is how we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. Lots of people say they are saved, but do not follow the commandments - they say they were done away with. Those people are LIARS and the holy spirit is not in them.. They are reprobate. 1 John 2: 4 He that says, I know him, and do not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. These fakers have a form of godliness, but deny the power, the holy spirit in the flesh of the believers. Denying the power of god in our flesh? Well that is antichrist by definition given in 1 John 4 Greater is he that is in you (holy spirit) that your old man sin nature. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ IS COME in the flesh is of God: (PRESENT TENSE- in your body) 3 And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist (this is the Cannot stop sinning crowd) 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. (The spirit in you replaced that old man sin) (cannot serve 2 masters) Believe in the power, because the only blasphemy NOT forgiven EVER? IS the blasphemy against the holy spirit. So when people keep proclaiming that their sin nature is just too powerful and they can never stop sinning until they physically die? What are they doing? Who are they denying?
