Under an eclipse of ever-rising feeling
Moving faster through my veins
And bleeding out the sun
That’s beating down on our necks
And burning my eyes
If this is a crutch for the weak
Then I am the least of these
So cut off my arms and break my legs
So I don’t feel this anymore
Choking on all of the feeling
That I’m swallowing in
Tasting the failure on my lips
That I’ve let in
And this is my last chance for survival
A last ditch effort to cure my ache
We’re so vain aren’t we?
We’re so proud and empty
We’re left leaning on our only intrigue
The lies that I’ve told won’t bury us whole
They won’t find us time
This is the end of the story that I can forget
This goes far beyond our loyalties
And we feign as a shield
That’s teeming with guilt and resonance
But we held our heads so high
We have not yet defeated failure

–Beloved, “Failure On My Lips”–

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
–1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (KJV)–

COMMUNIST

Why does it say, “Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God?” Because we’re eternally secure and sealed by the Spirit, that’s why. That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever…I’m sealed by the Holy Spirit; and so I don’t have to worry about grieving the Holy Spirit of God. Because I’m sealed by the Holy Spirit in the heavenlies, eternally secure with Christ, and all my future sins are forgiven. Is that what the Bible says? Because if that’s what the Bible says, that’s absolute confusion.

Don’t worry about your ministry career preacher, ’cause if I’ve changed your mind, you can always leave the SBC or PCA for the InterChurch Holiness Convention, the Free Will Baptist Church, the Wesleyan Church, the Free Methodist Church, the Global Methodist Church, the Christian and Missionary Alliance, the Church of the Nazarene, the Salvation Army, the Southern Methodist Church, or Church of Christ. If you’ve always secretly believed in Acts 2:4, but you were too afraid to admit it among your SBC or PCA buddies, then there’s always space for you at Assemblies of God, Church of God (Cleveland, TN), the International Pentecostal Holiness Church, and the Foursquare Church. Add ’em all up, and you’ve got 6.5 million strong in the United States. Not bad. Sure, you’ll have to walk away from 16 million SBC people, but your conscience will feel better won’t it? You’d think so. But where’s the itinerant evangelist of today? This is needed more than anything. The bold text indicates to me the strongest denominations on conditional security. –J.B.

Just to jog your memory some…

John Wesley – he’s the theological father of all these denominations.

Finney, Ravenhill, and Tozer – BIG focus in the InterChurch Holiness Convention.

Charles Finney and Leonard Ravenhill – books in the Church of the Nazarene.

David Wilkerson and Smith Wigglesworth – they were Assemblies of God.
