I don’t believe that once you are saved you can go out and backslide, drink and smoke and run around and still say you are saved. I don’t believe in that kind of predestination. But I believe it this way, I believe that God is married to the backslider. And I believe that that person by the Holy Spirit, He would draw them back. But if you keep on and keep on and keep on, you are only cutting the thing short. But no matter how many times, the bible says seven times seventy. He forgives.
But I do believe in the election seed of God whether they go out or come in-and all of them should stay with the Lord and be with the Lord-I do believe He will bring that seed in. And I believe that the elect seed to the best of their ability is known as the elect because they love all the Word of God, and they will live according to the Word of God, and they believe in the bible even if they don’t understand it. That is something that God has given each of us in our hearts that we believe in Him no matter what, we believe in the Lord Jesus. You are getting close to your healing and your salvation then. See, when you go a little way with God, He will go a long way with you. But the trouble today is that people do not want to go long ways with the Lord. Then speaking this moming, there are some-the incorrigible seed- and no matter what, they won’t come back to God. They are not even the foolish virgins who do come back to God through the tribulation, and they are not anything to do with wise or the bride or the Hebrews [144,000]. As I was speaking this morning, it seems that God will chastise, but they will not come unto the Lord. But the sons of God, the very ones that love the Lord, they will come unto the Lord-they will come unto the Lord under chastisement. And as I was speaking this morning, I told you I will get a scripture-and the incorrigible that will not amount to anything with the Lord-and I don’t speak against the physical at all, but it is a spiritual thing. It says in Hebrews 12:8, “But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.” You see, the Lord brings it this way and He brings it that way, and through correction, they will come to the Lord many times and they love the Lord with all their hearts.
