These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. (Acts 17:11)

If you prayed and asked Jesus into your heart, was there ever a point where He might leave you? What if you decided to leave him? Questions Keith and Melody Green had as new believers. Do you have these same questions? The real question should be “can someone lose their faith”? These doctrines of Jesus have the true answer! Revelations 3:15-16 (Jesus)…wish's (we) were cold or hot...(but)...because (many) are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, (He) will vomit (them) out of (His) mouth. Hebrews 10:38 (Jesus said)…the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, (His) soul (would have) no pleasure in him. 1 Timothy 4:1 …the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith… 1Timothy 6:10 …some (will stray) from the faith in their greediness, and (pierce) themselves through with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 1:19 …some (have allready)...suffered shipwreck...(their faith)... Hebrews 3:12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God... Luke 22:32 (Jesus)...prayed for (us), that (our) faith should not fail... Remember... Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to (Jesus), ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of (His) Father in heaven. Many will say to (Him) in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then (He) will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ John 15:1-8 (Jesus said) “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. Romans 11:21-22 (Now)...if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. Warning... Hebrew 6:4-6 ...it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame. 2 Peter 2:20-22 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.” Matthew 12:43-45 “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. Hebrews 12:1 ...let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us... 1Samuel 12:20-21 …do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart. And do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing. Hebrews 12:25-27 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. 1 Corinthians 10:12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. 2 Timothy 2:19 ...the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” You who believe and are contending for the faith stand fast... 1Peter 1:8-9 …rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith— the salvation of your souls. Keep fighting the fight of faith... Luke 22:32 (Jesus)...prayed for (us), that (our) faith should not fail...
