I believe in God. I also believe God. “Discernment is not simply a matter of telling the difference between what is right and wrong; rather it is the difference between right and almost right.” -Charles Spurgeon. Scripture is my authority for all things regarding to life and godliness. 2 Cor.10:5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ

Prove That Michael Jackson Was Saved (Biblical Christian)
The burden of proof that one is saved is on them, because 1John 1 and Gal. 5 and Matt. 7 talk about knowing the person by their fruits and Jesus said in Matt. 7 that the road to eternal life is NARROW and hard and FEW that find it.
All people are born dead and enemies of God, hating Him (Rom. 3, Eph. 2)
The majority of this world are going to Hell according to Scripture.
We are to test all who claim Christ to "see if they are from God" (1John 4:1).
Every Biblical Christian will have Fruit of the Spirit and works that are in line with repentance and being born from above (Gal. 5; 1John 1:6-9)
2Jo 1:9 Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
Mat 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
1Jn 2:4 Whoever says "I know him" but does not keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in Him, 5 but whoever keeps His word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: 6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which He walked.
1Jo 1:6 If we say we have fellowship with Him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
Gal 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.
2Jo 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8 Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward.
2Jo 1:10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, 11 for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.
1Jn 2:22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also.
So the burden of proof is on you who want the Narrow Road widened, and want MJ to be a Christian, instead of the JW-turned-Muslim that he was.
Show the proof then. Afterall, faith apart from works is useless, dead, non-existant. So, show all of us how Michael Jackson was a biblical Christian, even though he was JW and converted to Islam in his last two years of life (Islam and JW's deny salvation by grace through faith in Christ Jesus and they deny Jesus is God, which is condemned by God in Gal. 1:8-10). And those works and profession have to be biblical, btw.
So I'll wait for all that proof that He loved Jesus Christ and proclaimed Him and HIS Gospel.
In the meantime consider this:
1Jn 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Andre Crouch went and saw him a couple weeks b4 his death and said that it was reported by some that they prayed with him to receive Jesus. They put out a press release that they didn't even TALK to him about Jesus or salvation ... SAD!!! He was a professed Muslim ... converted in the last few years of his life. He was raised Jehovah Witness.
ReplyDeleteHe wasn't saved that anyone knew.
