I have oft explained here (but on blind eyes that cannot see):
God's grace (unmerited favor) was/is that ...
His Plan made it possible for some to go to heaven.
However, His free gift of grace can be rejected, thrown away, taken back, etc.
A father can give his teen-aged son a new car,
but if the son misuses it, the father can take it back.
A mother can give her daughter a piece of jewelry,
but later decide that she cannot really afford it, and take it back.
Gifts can be taken back ... for many reasons!
You're a poor confused lost person.The proof that God's free gift of salvation can be taken back
are seen in the many NT verses, which warn about:
-- eternal life of believers can be lost
-- eternal death of believers can be gained
-- sinning can keep believers out of the kingdom of God
-- anyone can be blocked from entering the New Jerusalem
-- anyone can have their name blotted out of the Book of Life
But, it's all way over most peoples' heads.
Poor LOST LA. Always quoting from anything but Paul.Yes believers are on probation like as an engagement of a lady to a man.
Their marriage can only occur when the groom returns.
Come to God on HIS terms, which TODAY is completely and freely by His GRACE.The groom has given his lady something to keep her until then, but she is free to throw it away even if the Groom does not back down of His word, she can by riotous living.

Poor LOST LA. Always quoting from anything but Paul.Col 3:1-4 KJV If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. (2) Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. (3) For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. (4) When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.God has ALREADY judged me in Christ and I'm dead.
Come to God on HIS terms, which TODAY is completely and freely by His GRACE.
God has judged all men as dead.
The idea is to become alive by receiving the Holy Spirit as the 3000 did on the day of Pentecost.
Until then you will keep slaying the righteous like they did.
Act 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Act 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Act 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

They did not "become alive" when they received the Holy Spirit, they were filled with the Holy Spirit IN POWER for a purpose.God has judged all men as dead.
The idea is to become alive by receiving the Holy Spirit as the 3000 did on the day of Pentecost.
More silliness.Until then you will keep slaying the righteous like they did.
You're not part of that group no matter how badly you want in.Act 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

Another completely incorrect understanding of the dispensation of the grace of God.Thanks for another good example.
A man gives his most-beloved intended bride-to-be an invaluable engagement ring.
Butski ...
Either party can cancel the agreement.
The woman can return the ring.
The man can ask for it back.
Thus and so can the incredibly-wonderful intended marriage be ended!
Yep!Another completely incorrect understanding of the dispensation of the grace of God.
You misrepresent the Lord and are therefore evil.
Yep!
Do you believe this was a normal everyday type of "salvation" experienceThey did not "become alive" when they received the Holy Spirit,
they were filled with the Holy Spirit IN POWER for a purpose.
It was not a "salvation" experience at all.Do you believe this was a normal everyday type of "salvation" experience
when these 120 received the Holy Spirit?
It was not a "salvation" experience at all.

In the Garden, there was a man, a woman, materials to build a great city, and they were to bring forth many children.
In the New Jerusalem, there is a man, a woman (the city itself), and their children. 144,000.
Don't mix this with the Body of Christ.
