Current trend now, a group making it fun and popular to, get this.... deny the Holy Spirit. They want you to join the group with the hip background music, the attractive faces, the YouTube popular post. They are advertising, trying to get out the word, trying to hit as many people as possible. And when you are like me, and you believe God is sovereign, there's absolutely no worry. You see, you don't go to hell by pronouncing some words, in an earthly language, like a magical abracadabra which places a mysterious seal over your head. There is no chance thing left up to men. God Saves! This truth has been bound to believe that nothing we do can send us to hell, we are already secure in that path before we ever even lift a finger. We were all bound to hell, all of us. But God, because of his great love for his people, has elected some to come out of that path, and take a tangent slope away from that direction.
Saying the words, "I deny the existence and the power of the Holy Spirit" does not garauntee a person to go to hell, believing it does.
Contrastly, consider this:
saying the words, "I believe the existence and my salvation in Jesus Christ" does not garauntee a person to go to heaven, believing it does.
So then, I believe that even though these children 10-20 years old, all pronounce the english words, "I deny etc..." doesn't mean squat, their belief in it does. But we all believed that at one time!!!!
We all believed in ourselves, we all denied God and his salvation, we all refused his inifinite and great soter-mercy!!!
It would be nice to see some of these kids turn and repent and then look at their video refusal and be hit by the conviction of such a great salvation in Jesus Christ.
PS additional note: yes, confession is needed, for the true believer. Confession can be done by everyone in the entire world, if it is not done with the truth inside the person it will not accomplish anything, therefore, confession is not what saves, confession from a true believer does prove salvation. God's work is what in fact saved in order to produce the confession.
