According to Scripture Sponsored hv Pembroke Seventh Da> Adventist Church Continued Romans 6 16 "K.now ye not thai to w honiye v icld yourselves servants to obev. his servants ye are to whom ye obev. whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness''' Consider these next texts inlight of the teachings that one can not lose their salv alion Would these scriptures be in the Bible if this were a reliable doctrine-' 1 Thcssalonians 3 5-8 "For this cause, when lcould no longer forbear. 1 sent to know your faith, lest by sonic means the tempter hav e tempted you. and our labor be in vain For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord " Let's consider only those people w ho hav e become part of the faithIti!. those who have received the word at,one time, and then went back to their old ways. What docs the Bible have to say about them ' 1 Timothy 5:8-12 But if any prov idc not for hisow n. and especially for those of his ow n house, he halii denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel And "Having damnation. because they have cast off their faith " II Peter 1:3-9 Read also II Peter 2:14-22.1 must quote 20:21 "Forif after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the know ledge of the Lord and Sav ior Jesus Christ, they arc again entangled therein, and overcome the latter end is worse w ith them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than after they have known it. to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them." Peter, in the preceding verse (14) of this next text identifies who he is speaking to as "beloved" clearly identifying them as part of the group of believers, and still in good standing with the church He says in 11 Peter 3:16-17 "As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which arc some thing shared to be understood, i which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before. beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness" 1 have heard some ask this question. "Arc you saved''" I thin that this can be considered a trick to make one answer in a presumptuous manner Consider 1 Corinthians 10:12 "wherefore, let hi. that thinks he stand, take heed lest he fall." And 1 Corinthians 16:13 "Watch ye. stand fast in the faith, quit you like men. be strong " So I submit to you that even w hen one is part of the "beloved." or a member of the church, one who may have given their heart to Jesus, that it is entirely possible to turn away and follow after Satan if one docs not watch and stand fast in the faith Let's remember that it is the one who endures temptation in James 1:12 who receives the crow nof life, not one who says lord, lord" like in Matthew 7:21 will go to heaven Jusl because one may make a clai m to be a Christian (to be Christ like) docs not mean that one is going to be saved What is it that matches the claim with the benefit i.e. "lam saved and going to heaven." We merely need to look in the same passage in Matthew 7 "Not the one who says...but the one who docs the will of God." The question one needs to ask one's selfisam I doing the will of God as revealed in the Bible? Am I overcoming in or is it overcoming me? Revelation 3:12 "Him that ov ercomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God and he shall go no more out; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, w hich is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and I will write upon him my new name" Notice that it is not am particular words that one may say. but rather the actions of the life that moke the difference Do you make a profession and then the nc\t minute deny Jesus asy our Lord'A similar experience was had by Peter at the trial of Jesus .Was Peter a savedindi\idual'Yes Did he deny his Sax lor' Yes c\ en w ith cursing And y ct Peter came back to Christ He asked and reccix cd forgix encss but w c lia\ e the example of another of Jesus' disciples w ho also made a profession and ga\e up his faith and did not make repentance Judas Jesus Himself said in John 8 .11 that if we follow in his word, then we arc His disciples indeed We have seen testimony from t he Old Tcslament. New Tcstanicni and from Jesus Himself that it is not the claims of an individual. but rather the life of a person that proves one's profession of faith Continued next week. r\ r\ Carolina Indian Voice is published every Thursday by First American Publications 304 Normal St. - Cgllege Plaza Post Office Box 1075 Pembroke.

UNCP gets its second Silicon Graphics workstation PEMBROKE -- The North Carolina Supercomputing Center at the Research Triangle Park will loan a high-end computer workstation to The University of North Carolina at Pembroke to support teaching and research in computational science. Dr. John E. Reissner and Dr. .Thomas Dooling, physicists in the UNCP Physical Science Department, wrote the successful grant request. UNCP is among nine institutions in the state chosen to receive a Silicon Graphics SGI R5000 02, one of the most powerful workstations avai lable. "It is about four times faster than a good home or office computer today," Dr. Reissner said. "And, with the Unix operating-system, it can perform several tasks at once." "This is a very powerful and high speed piece of equipment that does some amazing things," Dr. Dooling said. "IT will give our students exposure to the kind of state-ofthe-art technology that they will see in advanced workplaces. "The computer is able to graphically represent three dimensional pictures ofmolecules and make advanced calculations about their movements and properties," Dr. Doolingsaid. "In some of our experiments, we will stretch protein molecules in order to understand their properties. This is important in the study of how the human body moves proteins through cell membranes." "Whether you are an experimental or theoretical researcher, a powerful computer is critical," Dr. Rcissner said. "There's never anything easy about pushing a molecule around." The award, from the SupercomputerCenter's Visualization Initiative, brings UNCP its second Silicon Graphics workstation. The workstation, with 128 megabytes of RAM and four gigabytes of harddrive memory, is especially suited for high-end visualization renderings of computational data. Dr. Reissner said the grant proposal emphasized the tempting possi bilities for using two such machines together. The computers will have a significant impact on the campuses where they are loaned, said a spokesman for the Supercomputing Center. "We are enthusiastic about the prospects which the Visualization Initiative has for promoting computational science and visualization at participating campuses," Dr. John H. Harrison IV, vice president of the Research Triangle Park group, said on behalf of the awarding agency. "We are preparing to support your faculty in their efforts and look forward to being a partner with UNC Pembroke in this effort. "The committee carefully considered the potential impact that the equipment would have on campus," Harrison said. "For me, it will become an invaluable tool for research, and for our students, it will be a valuable tool to prepare them for jobs," Dr. Dooling said.
