The promise and a simple conversion

A saved soul who is dying still doesn’t have a promise of heaven.  This is false teaching.  So, if someone who is completely obedient to the church concerning their works of righteousness, dies they have no guarantee to get to heaven yet.  Doesn’t God give a promise in baptism as a covenant for eternity if you stay true and faithful.  But the church wants you to live in bondage unto self-righteous works and therefore they don’t understand the complete promise (covenant) of eternal life with God in heaven.

(Acts 9:19-20) And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

The Apostle Paul’s conversion was instant and not progressive over a long period of time.  He was drastically changed from a being murderer to a preacher within a few days.  Can anyone tell me if this is or was ever allowed in these churches?  I don’t think it ever has.  Maybe the Brother Froelich had an impact on the beliefs of conversion, but those beliefs need to be checked again with the Holy Bible and see that there were many examples of instant conversion.  In contrast to the statement, “Just as a natural birth does not take place instantly, so it is spiritually”  this is false in that they think it is only new birth, but in reality it is a death and death means instant and forever.  Conversion in the Bible is an instant change from a non-believer to a full believer with a death to the old sinful ways and desires.  Sure a whole life of spiritual growth occurs as found in 2 Peter 1:4-8 and bearing the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23)

Finally, the horrible error with the statement Jesus said on the cross, “It is finished”.  The authors put this in very dangerously in error.  Jesus said those words to be the complete and final supreme sacrifice on the cross for the atoning of all mankind’s sins.  Those words have nothing to do with a conversion.  They simply mean that the full price of sin was paid for and all sins are covered under his blood.  There is power in the blood.  Nothing more nor anything else can be added to gain salvation but simply believing in Jesus Christ alone.  As I said above in contrast to their beliefs, it is a death that makes conversion and not supposedly a new life.  The new life is a growth unto perfect works and we won’t have to worry about the second death (Revelations 20:14) which is hell fire.
