If you've wandered from the Christian Faith, " as many have ", and you want to come back ..... " Below is a Four Step program using four articles currently on Faith Mountain " that will help you on the road to coming back to a " Victorious Christian Faith ! "

But first lets read " two warnings " from the Apostle Paul concerning the times we live in:

  I Timothy 4:1:

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Reading this verse you might want to ask:

Wait a minute Paul ..... what do you mean some shall " depart from the faith " in the " latter times " ?

         I was told that once I truly accepted Jesus Christ as my " Lord and Savior " that that was all I had to do and that I was " saved " !   What does it mean that " some shall depart from the faith" ?   How can people be part of the faith and then " depart " or leave that faith ?

  II Thessalonians 2:1-3:

^{[ 1 ]}  Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

^{[ 2 ]}  That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

^{[ 3 ]}  Let no man deceive you by any means:  for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first  [ apostasia ], and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Reading these verses you might want to ask:

Okay Paul .... for the second time you've said .....

before the last days people shall basically " depart from the faith " in the " latter times " ?

         As a note the greek word used for " falling away first " is " apostasia " which is where we get the english word " Apostasy " !   Apostasy literally means, " to defect, or to forsake the faith ".   So once again you might ask what does " falling away first " mean ?   How can people be part of the faith and then " depart or fall away " or leave that faith as these two scriptures tell us ?

The answer to that question,
if you don't already know the answer,

it is shown in the Article " Am I Really Saved ? " which is step #1 below:

Insure you are " Truly A Christian " based on the Bible ! " If you have any doubts about it read the article: " " If you have NO doubts about it then go to Step #2 "
