“here who hag committed the unpardonable sin? Because if

“you have you had better leave - you cannot be redeemed of:

“God.”

“people who have entered into the blood covenant. “You
better take care you don't get unsaved," they warn sternly.
They fail to understand that-the blood covenant cannot be

that produces thorns and thistles is worthless, and is in

In Matthew 13 Jesiis said that a farmer went out to sow
his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the

‘places, where it did not have much soll. it sprang up

Therefore what Christians often call ‘getting unsaved” is
really just being unsaved to begin with.
