I am a Dispensationalist and couldn't disagree more with Mr. Hanegraaft on many issues; however, I applaud Hank for his compassion and kindness in explaining and reasuring that caller, from scripture "why he has not lost his salvation." Satan loves to accuse us!

Thanks Hank for an excellent exposition, my only suggestion is how come you don't have any subtitles in Spanish? or Translation in spanish, I am using Kdenlive in Linux and did a voice over translation for my wife, oh and for those who point fingers in other commentaries, Jesus said who ever points at Leonard, remember when Jesus wrote in the sand, I guess some of you are perfect. please keep a open mind.

Keep fighting Lenard, even the Apostle Paul struggled with the fight against his flesh, and there was even a thorn in Paul's side that he prayed would be removed but God told him "My daily sufficient grace is all you need, my power is made perfect in your weakness" (2 corin 12:9)

There is always hope, never beat yourself up in your struggles and let it destroy you like satan wants, but instead rely on God's daily sufficient grace, and keep fighting against the sins of the flesh, and praise God.

Rom 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Rom 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

I fight my sin and so far I'm winning against one sin which has turned into a habbit. And I'm also fighting against another sin which is another habbit (lying) I am so angry at myself when I do lie.....I just hate it!!!

You should have told him to depart from his sins, like Jesus would have. You are wrong, I pray to God he wasn't a child molester.

Salvation cannot be sensed by how you feel. Worship can make you feel better and sinning can make you feel worse. But , your feelings have nothing to do with any proof that you are saved or lost. It is a matter of a promise of God, that if you accept , with sincerity and integrity of heart, Jesus Christ into your life, then how your body feels or any ups or downs , emotionally, is not ever a barometer or test of being saved or lost. Truth cannot be felt, it is believed in.

The Grace of Repentance means practicing Modesty and Good Manners, not thinking you will not suffer all the common afflictions of the human body and passions. Repentance is about the right attitude of being in charge of yourself, with Modesty. Do not teach others your bad habits to increase suffering to innocent people. No one has any right to inflict pain and injury on another person , for this you must get help, to spare others your own personal weaknesses. Repentance is Attitude.

[CarmineFragione]

The Salvation is when you give your sins to Christ, and then the Father does not Judge you, but the Son has taken up your soul into His own judgment . Jesus assures that He cannot lose anyone whom the Father has given over to the Son. There were those, such as Judas, who were predestined to be lost and thus the Father never gave such a one over to the Son.  Once you have come to the Lord in repentance, the Father has closed your case, and Jesus opens your account in His Blood.

HERESY

We are sinners before we repent

We are holy when all of our sins are covered

If we sin again, we're a sinner again

If we repent again, we're holy again.

"He who commits sin is of the devil." - 1 John 3:8

"Without Holiness, no man shall see the Lord." - Hebrews 12:14
