Tatkhiatna kingah lo thei hi. Ahih hangh kitaan thei lo (Romans 8: 29-30)

Once save always save cih a pheeng gente hangin Biblical truth ahi once save always save cih thu ii za ah za thumaan ahihna lunghiang pih lai zang kei in. Pasian in a mite khahsuah thei hi muanhuai lo hi ci-a Satan in a thumaan thu mah tawh ih pukna ding aa a techque ong toknawina hi. Tua techque pen Satan ih ama mite mah one save always save a cih sak hang hi. In the contact of God, once save always save is true but in the contact of Satan it is deceitful.

Tatkhiatna pen ih ngah khit tehh kitaan thei nawn lo hi. Thu khat ah, tatkhiatna ngah takpi maw ngahtakpi lo cih bel kidot huai pen hi. Tua ih kikup nop thu pen tatkhiatna ngah khit ciangh kitaan thei maw cih thu hi lo zaw-in, tatkhiatna kingah lo thei cih hi zaw hi. Khat veivei mihing te thu kikumkum pong mawk na pi-in a phi (the answer to the question) ah ih kibat lohna pen dotna maan lo (wrong question) hang na hi gige thei hi. Tua ahih manin a masa pen in dotna maan (right question) a dong thei ih hih masak ding zong thupi hi.
Tua ih kikup nop pen Tatkhiatna a ngah lo te’n bang hang ngah lo? Tatkhiatna a ngah te in koici bang in ngah cih thu hi zaw hi. Thuma (before the event) ii thu tawh kipat ding hi zaw hi. Not after the event. Tatkhiatna, gupkhiatna ngah khit tehh taan kik thei maw cih pen (un qualified question) ahi hi. It is still a question. But the question itself is unqualified for its answer.
Ezekiel 33:11-15 le Matt 23: 37na te pawl pen Tatkhiatna ngah theihna ding aa, kisik kikna Pasian in a kalhna hi. (This text is for unbelievers) . A piangthak khin mite tungah hah genna hi lo zaw hi. Tatkhiat gupkhiat ngah khit ciang aa ding thu a genna hi lo hi. Tatkhiatna a ngah ma aa mimawh pa/nu in a mawhna a kisik kei leh ngah lo ding ahihna tona challenge na hi zaw hi. Tatkhiatna na ngah khit ciang aa tona challenge na hi lo zaw hi. Kipia khin ngah khin aa sut kik aa taan sak kik cih peuh mah pen Pasian’ nasep hi thei lo hi. Ginat loh vai lua mahmah hi. Ih theih dingah Christ effectual calling cih khawng thupi hi. Romans 8: 30na ah “whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified” na ci ngiat hi. Romans 9: 11na ah God’s purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of his call na ci hi. Tatkhiatna pen na kipatcil in ngah takpi maw ngahtak pi lo cih tawh kidot huai zaw hi. Kuate in tatkhiatna taan thei hiam cih leh a um lo a saang lote in taan thei bek-a a um a saang te in taan cih bang om thei lo zaw-in saangin ngah hi cih thu hi zaw hi. A taktak in ci rehang tatkhiatna taan cih taktak zong kua in thei ih hiam? Pasian bekin thei hi. Ahih hangh ih theih dingah Khrih in muibun effective aa a sap mite piangthak (true converted) takpi ding aa, tua kisikna maan tawh pianthakna (conversion with true repentance) ahih nak lelah taan kik cih bang om thei lo hi. Ih piaksa sut kik kei peuh rehang ih piak pa in ngah suak hamtang hi. Tua ahih manin Pasian in ong piaksa ong sut kik ngei lo pa hi. Ih theih dingah Pasian in a sap loh mi-in um lungdamna thu hong um thei thei lo ding uh hi. Philippian 2: 13na for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure na ci hi. A nuai ah ih kikup ding pen piaksa suh kikna taan kikna vai hi lo zawin, kua te in tua a kipia letsong ngah thei aa, kua te in ngah lo thei hiam? Cih hi zaw hi. Hong kipia naakhat saang kei lecin na ngah ding a taan khol khin na hi ta hi. A taan kik ih cih te zong a kipat aa a lungsim le kha tawh sang tak pi lo cihna hi. Na keel luphum hong kidawk ve leh! A saang taktak lo na hihna hong ki dawk ve leh cih ding hi zaw hi. Tua pen a ngah takpisa a taan cih ding hi lo zaw-a, a tung a kipat aa a ngah takpi a saang tak pi lo na hi ve leh cih ding hi zaw hi. Ka saang ka ngah na cih pong mawk hangin na zuaupi ahi ve leh. Singkung a gah in kithei ih cihcih tua daan aive cih ding hi.. Pasian in thu-ummite’ tatkhiatna ong kep cing sakna thu-ummite ii thuakzawhna, ih khona le cihtakna ah kilang hi. God’s preservation is evidenced in true believers’ perseverance.
John 10: 26, 27na aa, “…note pen keima tuu hilo na hih manun Khrih ka hih lam na hong um kei uh hi. Keima tuute in ka aw za-in thei uh ahih manin kei hong zui uh hi” a cihna ah, Jesuh tuu te na hi uh leh, um ding uh hi. Banghang hiam cih leh upna pen Khrih’ tuu hihna ii gah ahi hi. Faith is one of their marks. Actually, not being Christ’s sheep was not the Cause of the unbelief of the Jews, but their unbelief was the evidence that they were not Christ’s sheep.

Upna nangawn ei aa hi lo (faith itself is the gift of God…Eph. 2: 8)
Faith is objective. Not subjective. Upna cih pen mimawh pa’ pua lam pan aa a sung lamah kipia thu hi zaw hi. Ama sung lam pan aa kipan tawm hi lo zaw hi. A tom in gen rehang a um mite pen amau le amau hoihna tawh a um thei hi lo-in, a um lo mite ahih leh amau le amau kibawl tawm ahi hi. (Akilamdanna na theih zawh nang na hanciam in). Mangpau in tom gen mahmah rehang (election and reprobate).Upna ih cih pen Pasian Kha Siangtho’ ong sepsak hi. Zechariah 4: 6 “It is not by might or by power, but by my Spirit”…Ama Kha tha bekmah tawh hi hang. John 1: 12, 13na ah “Tua bangin Pasian tate suahna pen leitung ngeina nute pate sung panin suahna tawhh hi lo-in Pasian sung panin suahna ahi hi…nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God ci hi. Um cih pen sepna hi lo hi. Na up ding pen ahi ding mah ahi hi. Ahi ding mah ahi naa te pan-a pua pialna in leitungah problem piangsak hi. Ih Problem pen mawhna (sin) hi. Ih mawhna pan’n ih kisik kik ciangh in zong a zian a ngah kikpan hi hangh. Romans 4: 4ff.
Ephesians 2:8-10na ah For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Theih pak ding ah, tatkhiatna pen sepna tawh hi lo hi. Zong kitaan thei lo hi ih cih ciangh ut bangbang aa gamta ding cih nopna hi lo hi. Mihing te pen tatkhiat ngah tawh ngah lo tawh, tatkhiat ngah khin tawh ngah nai lo tawh ih vek aa, kuamah hoih zo tuan vet lo ih hih manin, hoihna dikna le hahkatna tawh tatkhiatna kingah in tatkhiatna kitaan hi cih thu a maan lohna thu LST in a gen nuam ahi zaw hi. Tua hangin Upna bek tawh hi zaw hi a ci ih hi hi. Tatkhiatna pen hahkat zawhna tawh kingah lo-in hahkat lohna tawh zong kitaan tuan lo hi. Kam dang khatin gen rehang tatkhiatna pen hahkat zawhna tawh zong kingah beh tuan lo hi. Upna nangawn Pasian letsong hi lai hi a cihna thu a kithei sak nuam ih hi. Na telsiam dingin ong lamen ingh.

CALVINSIM AND ARMINIANSIM THU TAWM
TULIP a kici John Calvin in Jacob Arminius le a pawl te ii LST upna laigil pi pan aa paikhialhna Remonstrain tungtaang aa Jocob Arminius ii 1610 kum aa, his five points of doctrine pen John Calvin in 1619 aa Synot of Dot pan aa LST based aa Jacob Arminius ii five points a dawnna the five points of Calvin pen TULIP kici hi.
T= Total depravity (mihing khempeuh sia khin. Mawh khin)
U= Unconditional election (hoihna, dikna le sepna condition tungtawn hilo. A kiteel mite kua te cih eite in thei lo ihih manin tua ih theih kholh loh Pasian bekin a theih a teelsa mite tungah lungdamna thu gen ding ih tavuan)
L= Limited atonement (or particular atonement)—Deihna nei sihna (A telsa mite aa ding bek aa Jesuh singlamteh tungah si cihna. Kamdang khat in gen rehang a ummite le a hong um lai ding mite Pasian teel te na hi gige pah)
I= Irresistible grace (Pasian’ hehpihna pen kinolh thei lo. Pasian’ hehpihna pen nang hanciam zawh thu tawh na ngah hi lo cihna)
P= Perseverance of the saints (Thu ummite’ khona. A tawp dong cihtaakna cih ding hi. God preservation is evidenced in the believers’ perseverance. But believer’s perseverance is not the cause for preservation/ salvation) cih ding hi.
Hi thu pan-a, Calvinism le Arminian cih thu hong piang hi.
Calvin doctrine le Arminius doctrine pen number 3thumna le 4lina pan kithu kimlo pha diak hi. Arminius ii Unlimited atonement (general atonement) Calvin in Biblical sa lo ahih manin Limited atonement (particular atonement kammal) tawh dawng hi
Arminius ii Resistible grace pen biblical sa lo ahih manin Calvin in Irresistible grace cih kammal tawh na dawng hi. Five points of Calvin pen five points of Arminius tungah dawnna hi aa, five points of Calvinist pen five points of Arminius om kei leh a om lo ding ahi hi. Arminius in numbat thumna tungtawnin bang gen hiam cih leh Jesuh ong sihna pen mi khempeuh aa ding hi cih daan hi. Salvation made possible. Salvation is not certain cih hi pha diak hi. God has done his part. Now is your turn cih peuh hi ziauziau hi. Tatkhiatna pen mihing tungah kinga zaw in Pasian tungah kinga lo zaw hi ci hi. Tua ciangh numbat lina tungtawn aa Arminius genna ah hehpihna pen Pasian in by force tawh ong pia lo hi eimau ih san leh bek kingah hi ci. Hih Ariminian teachings pen Pelagianism a kici Nicene Creed ih cih te ii heresy ci aa a ki condemned upna pan aa hong piang khia hi. Buddhism teaching mah bang aa human effort tawh salvation kingah cih daan hi mawk hi. LST sungah Pasian in salvation belongs to God ci hi. John 2: 9; Rev 7: 10 and many others verses in the bible. LST ih et tehh Pasian in active tak aa nang le kei salvation ding a sepna kilang mahmah hi. Beyond our understanding the Holy Spirit is working in us from the beginning to the end. Salvation pen eimau hanciamna tawh ngah in eimau perfect lohna genbaan lohna tawh kitaan kik thei cih LST in gen hi leh kuamah vantung gam tung lo ding hi hang. Mihing te pen ih sih ma-dong mawhna tawh kipeng kua mah om zo lo ding hi hangh. You will die sinning. Only the blood of Jesus will save you. Nothing but the blood of Jesus! Faith alone is our victory not by your perfection.

Special grace and common grace
Pasian hehpihna pen a teel mite bekin nolh kik zawh loh-in ngah ding hi. Tua pen special grace kici hi. Common grace pen thu umlo mite in zong ngah hi. Leitung hauhna, nitang le guah tui te zong ih ngah khawm hi. 2 Thessalonians 2: 13, 14na ah Paul in Pasian in note hong teel ahih manin lungdam na ka ko tawntung hi ci hi. God chooses you from the beginning for your salvation. Election granted salvation. Pasian in Pharoh lungtang ka khauhsak hi ci hi. Ahih hangin a lungtang a khauhsak bek hi a, mawhna a bawlsak pen Pasian hi lo hi. God’s hardening the heart doesn’t mean he cause them to sin. Hoihna peuh mah Pasian hang hi-a, siatna peuhmah nang hang hi. In the case of good God is directing. But in the case of evil God is over-ruling. God actually takes the initiative. God plans and God accomplishes. Election granted our repentance and salvation. And election leads to holiness… Eph. 1. But holiness is not the cause that saves you.
Ahih hangin salvation pen eimau ih saan leh ngah bekin eimau mah in ih khahsuah leh kitaan kik thei a cite in “tua bang ahih leh teltuamna ih cih in Pasian mi deidan pa suah hi ci uh hi.” Hi te pen Arminian te kici hi. Human free will tawh salvation kingah ci hi. A nu a pa a u anau aading thungetsak leh vantung gam tung ding ci uh hi. Nget zawh thu tawh kingah hi cih bul phuh hi. Tua ahih manin thu a nget uh tehh Topa aw ka pa ong tatkhiat sak in cih daan hi pah hi. Tua leh Pasian in tua Arminian pa kiangah tua na thungetsak na pa zong free will khensatna pia ka hih manin ama khensat bang hi zaw henla, nang thu ngetsakna tawh hi kei zaw hen. Amah zong nang mah bangin free will ka pia khin hi ci zeel ding hi. Hyper Calvinist ih cih te leuleu in ei nget thu tawh salvation kingah hi lo ahih tehh thunget kul vet kei. Pasian thu zong taangko kul vet kei ci zel hi. Hi nih kikaal ah reformation kisam hi. Thu nget ding hi-a, human free will/ human agency cihte in zong a ma dinmun maan right place nei hi. Arminian te in Pasian teeltuamna le it tuamna thu nial uh hi. A taktak in ci rehang “man in sin refuses to repent, to believe in Jesus”. Actually no one should be saved. We all are deserved for condemnation. The fact is without election no one will be saved. Election should not be negative. Ataktak in ci rehang mihing te in ei le ei tawh a kisik kik thei lo a um thei lo hell lam zuan tum khin ih hi hi. Ahi zongin mawh nei mi nang le kei tua Pasian teeltuamna it tuamna hangin hong kitan khia khin hi. Amen!
Like Wesley you may deny election on your head but in your heart you believe election. Na lu in teeltuamna a nial hangin na lungtangin um veve ding hi.

Lei pian ma pek aa hong kiteel maw? Favoritism?
Calvinist ih cih te in Pasian in teel khol hi. Sehh khol hi. It khol hi. Pasian in lei pian ma pekin hong teel khin hi ci uh…Ephessians 1: 4ff. God loved beforehand. God foreknew Pasian in ma theih hi ci uh. Pasian in sem masa den ci uh. God always takes the initiative of all ci uh. Tua ahih manin Pasian teelsa mite beek in hong um thei ding ci uh. Hi pen election prior to faith kici hi. Arminian te in tua pen Pasian thumaan lo suah uh tehh. Pasian in tua bangin miteel khol leh a teel te bekin um leh taza lo hi legitimate lo hi ci uh. A um thei te bek a teel ding hi ci uh. Arminian te genna ah Pasian in a teel ma pekin kua te in upna na nei uh cih na ma theih khol ci uh. Hi pen Faith prior to God’s election kici hi. Arminian te genna ah upna ih neih leh bek Pasian in hong teel hi ci uh. Tua mi nu mi pa in upna nei a hih manin um ding hi cih thu Pasian in ana ma theih hi bek hi ci. Prior to election, God has foreseen faith in those who will believe prior to election cih daan hi. Hi lai mun ah Calvinist te leuleu in Pasian in tua upna amah le amah aa a nei thei tawm te bek teel ahih leh upna a nei lo te teel lo ahih manin taza lo hi legitimate lo hi ci. Pasian pen condition sepna bawlna tungah kinga in a hoih te teel in a hoih lo te a teel lo hi mawk hi ci. Pasian guat loh in kuamah in Pasian tawh kilem kik theihna ding upna nei lai zang lo hi ci uh. Tua ahih manin upna sangin teeltuamna masa zaw hi. Pasian kiang lam pan kipan zaw-in mihing lampan eimau neih tawm tawh kipat theih bangmah om ngei lo hi. Banghang hiam cih leh piansak te ih hi hi. Hi Armnians te gen daan pen favoratism angvantuam neihna kici zaw hi ci uh. Favoratism cihteh Pasian in angvan tuam nei sak uh tehh kicih tuakna hi. Actually, if someone (an Arminian) has faith whom God saw as if he has faith prior to God’s election, and if that is the reason chosen by God is favoritism.

Romans 8: 29-30na
Pasian’ Tapa mi khempeuh lakah a upa pen a suah theihna dingin Pasian in a tel kholhsa mite, a Tapa tawh a kibang dingin a sehsa ahi hi. Tua ahih manin ama sap mite a sehsa hi a, ama sap mite amah tawh a kipawlin bawl a, amah tawh a kipawl-a a bawl mite ama minthan’na zong a hawm hi. Ephessians 1: 4na ah “Ama mai ah eite pen pauban’na a nei lo, mi siangthote ahi ding le Khrih hangin ama mite ahi dingin leitung a pian’ ma pek nangawnin Pasian in a hong telsa ih hi hi” na ci hi. Apat pan a tawp dong a nasep a zo tiuteu Pasian ih biak khak manin ki paak mahmah hangh. Hih LST munin Pasian theihkholna telkholna le sehkholna thu kician tak in gen hi. Nang le nang question na kidongdong lecin Pasian’ tung vive tu kik ding hi. Pasian pen a beisa bek ah nasem pa hi lo hi. Abeisa, tuhun le hong tung ding hun khempeuh ah nasem pa hi. Salvation has a past reference (Eph 2: 8) and is a present experience (1 Cor 1: 18) and is a future hope (Romans 5: 9). Hong kitatkhiatna thu na theih khiat, na experience khiat ciangin nang sep hi lo-in nang tungah hong kisem a thei khia a phawk khia na hi lel hi. Na ci hong kimeek sak leh ka cih hong kimeek hi cih na up loh a phamawh ahi hi. Tatkhiatna kitel khia ing cih zong tua daan aa kiphawkna na hi bek lel hi. Na sepna tawh tatkhiatna a ngah na hi peuh mah kei hi. Na tung aa hong kisem na up loh a phamawh na upna tawh tatkhiatna a ngah na hi hi. Tua bangin nang tungah ong kisep ciangin na um thei hi. The wonderful work of God in the Lord Jesus preceded all of our experience (2Cor 5: 17-19).
Pasian in a sehsa mite a kitatkhiat theihna dingin lampi honkhiat sakin sam-a, tua asapsa mite a Tapa’ sisan tawh tankhia a, tua atatsa mite khempeuh zong aminthan pih lai ding hi. Ih theih dingah tatsa mite pen hong ki gupgup laitak hi. They are being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Ih theih lai dingah tatkhiatna den lam ciangh zong hong ngah lai ding om hi. A ngah lai ding tu laitak a ngah nai lo deuh zong om zihziah lai hi. Naungek zong a suak nai lo le a suaksa a om mah bang ahi hi. Tua ahih manin hih tatkhiatna pen kitaan thei maw kitaan thei lo cihna ah, dotna question ih kidop mahmah kisam hi. Tatkhiatna pen atung a kipat thu tawh kisai hi. A kipat aa na ngah takpi le na ngah takpi loh thu tawh kisai zaw hi. Na ngah takpi leh taan cih bang om nawn lo hi. Na ngah takpi hiam cih thupi zaw hi. Saul te Judas te pen a pat cil lim aa a maan lo a mau le amau ki khem te na hi uh hi. True repentance true conversion ahih nak leh atawp dong kho ding hi. A tawp dong a kho kei leh a patna pen true repentance true conversion tawh kipan lo cihna hi. A tawp dong khona pen a kipatna a maanna hang na hi zaw hi. Justification and sanctification hi nih pen Christian te in a Christian nuntaakna ah a tuak loh uh a phamawh thu nih hi. Sanctification is the fruit of justification not vice versa. Ih Christian nisim nuntaakna ah Kha Siangtho tha bek tawh ih kalsuan hi. Gup mi hihna pen tatkhiatna ii gah ahi hi. Tatsa mite a nisim nuntakna ah a gamtatna uh a kipuah phatphat laitak uh ahi hi. Ahi zongin tua gamtat kipuah phatna pen tatkhiat ngahna hi lo hi. Gamtatna tawh tatkhiatna kingah lo hi. Ih gamtatna in tatkhiatna ngah mi ih hihna a kilang sak hi zaw hi. Tatkhiat ngah khit tehh ki perfect ki genbaang lo pah ding cihna zong hi lo hi. The more you feel guilt you are the more becoming holier. Don’t try to take baptism again. Na mawhna pan siangthona lamah na kah toh simin tui kiphum kik ding hi lo hi. Mihing te pen a mawh pi mah aa kisi lai ding hi. Tatkhiatna ii gah ahi gupkhiatna ih khah suah leh kitaan kik ding cih a thumaan ahih mawk leh mi khempeuh hell tung mang ding hi. Pasian na sem lian Moses David cih te zong a hun nunung ta uh ciangh puk uh hi. Nang zong na hun nunung lamah puk beh lai ding hiteh. Ahi zongin tua na pukna tawh vangam na taan kei ding hi. Tua ahih manin kuamah perfection ih cih genbanlohna tawh vangtung gam kitung lo ding hi. A gen bangpipi mah in Topa’ ong tatsa ih hi hi. Praise the Lord! Ahi zongin kuamah perfect lo cih pen ih paulap ding hi lo zel hi. Tatsa mite pen ih cihtakna ih gamtat hoihna te Topa aa ding aa ih faithful na te tawh kituakin letsong (rewards) hong kipia lai ding hi. So be faithful. Tua ih san ding letsong te pen hotkhiatna, tatkhiatna le gupkhiatna hong pia vangam hong tun the Cause a bulpi pen hi lo zel hi. Once save always save cih pen a thumaan hi. Jesuh in ka Pa in kei hong piak tuute kuamah in ka khut sung pan la khia zo lo ding ci hi. A thupoi ah mipoi pawl khat in tua Once save always save pen olzat in kimawlna bangin a zat uh te thu ummite linglawng lungka sak uh hi. Linglawng lungkaat ding hi zenzen lo hi. Tatkhiatna ngah khit ciangh taan kik nawn lo cih kammal once save always save pen thu umlo mite in zong pheng gen ziau thei mah hi. A gen thu uh maan aa, a hih hang amau tungah piang lo kha ding hi. Kam in ih zuih zawh loh pih thu zong thukimin pau thei hi. Ahih hang a kipau khia thu pen a thumaan na hi lel hi.

Piakna le Saanna gentehna
Gentehna minthang mahmah khat. Mi thum om dingin tua te’ lakah lingmaw (oranges) pum thum kipia ding. Nih te gel in saangin a khat pa in sang lo la lo ahih manin ngah lo hi. Tua mah bangin tatkhiatna zong a saang te bekin ngah in a saang lo te in ngah lo hi cih thu ahi hi. Hi lai mun ah qualified question khat kidong thei hi. Tua mite lakah tua lingmaw a sang lo pa pen liiphiat ih cih khut zaw cidam lo khat ahih man-a sang lo na hi leh e? Tua khut zaw pa in tua lingmaw a kipiak hang saang thei lo ding hi. Tua khut zaw cidam lo pa pen nang le kei ih hihi. Mi mawh ih hi khin hi. Corruption-Original sin, Guilt imputed sin cih te hangin mihing te a si ih hi hi. Sing hiang khat a kung tung pan na lak khiat cil-in a hing lai mah bang lel hi. Ahih hangin a kungpi tawh kikhen khia khin ahih manin tua singhiang pen a hing a bat sesat laipong hangin a sikhin ahi hi. Nang le kei tua bang dinmun ah ih om hi. Hih theihna bang mah ih nei kei hi. A si pi ih hi hi. Lingmaw a saang thei lo khut zaw pa tawh ih kibang hi. Pasian tawh a kikhen khin te ih hi hi. Tua ahih manin Jesuh in Matthew 9: 12, 13na ah “Cidam te in syavuan kisam lo uh a, cina mite bek in kisam uh hi…Mite in a zahtak mi hoihte a sam dingin a hong pai ka hi kei a, mite in a pampaih mite a sam dingin a hong pai ka hi hi,” a ci hi. Jesuh pen tua lingmaw a sang thei mi nih te’ aading aa ong pai hi lo zaw in tua lingmaw a sang thei lo cidam lopa khut zaw pa mawhna sungah a si cip nang le kei aa ding aa ong pai hi zaw hi. Jesuh in ong sepsak khin hi. It is finished! (John 19: 30). Ei thu-mu mite tatkhiat ngah kician mite pen hong kihon khia khin hong kitan khia khin hong kigupgup laitak hong kisian suahsuah laitak hi. I have been saved for justification and have been justified and am being sanctified and will be glorified yet. In other word, I have been saved and am being saved and will be saved yet. Tatkhiatna ka ngah theihna dingin Pasian in ka nun lui Egypt gam pan lampi hong sial pih in san tuipi na ngawn kantan in hong hon khia aa, a tawpna ah a Tapa Khrih in a sisan tawh ong tankhia in tu laitakin a hong sawlpa Kha Siangtho in ong sian suahsuah laitak a ong gupgup laitak ka hi hi.

Thum lakah mihing te’ aading aa a thupi pen
Thum gawm Pasian sungah Tapa kilaitaat. Christ center saving grace. Thum aa kikhen hun (time) past+present+ future sungah tuhun (the present time) ki laitaat. Hotkhiatna (Salvation plan by God the Father), Tatkhiatna (Justification/ Redemption accomplished by God the Son) le Gupkhiatna (Santification renew or awakening or sealed or adopted or led or guide or illumine or regenerated by the Holy Spirit) (hih the three components of saving event in Zolai contact) ah Tatkhiatna kilaaitaat hi. OT Egypt gam pan san tuipi kantan aa hotkhiatna in NT Topa Jesuh tatkhiatna kawk bek hi. Tu hun Kha Siangtho hun gupkhiatna nasepna ih cih te in zong Tapa tatkhiatna a siksan kei leh gupkhiatna man lo ahi hi. Tatkhiatna a ngah ih hih lam ih kitel ding ih ngah ding hun pen zing ciang ci se ken ze kai niteh. The present time is the most important. Tu ni tu hun ding hi. Pilna (knowledge), Ciimna(Wisdom) le Siamna (Giftedness) hi thum lakah Ciimna (Wisdom) mah thupi pen. Inn (house), Baangkua (home) le innkuan (family) hi thum sungah baangkua (home) mah thupi pen hi.
Pasian’ ciimna in eite tu hun tu mahmahin hong tankhia-in vantung baangkua pi ah hong tun pih thei hi. Cihnopna ah a thum in a thupi tek ahih hangin a laimu a mu zo taktak ding mi kikhaat mahmah hi cih a gen nuam ih hi hi.

Hotkhiatna, Tatkhiatna le Gupkhiatna
Zomi te in hi kammal thum te eimau kammal ahih lam ih phawk phat ding kisam hi. Honkhia cih tehh mi khat peuhpeuh a tawp dong tavuan (mawhpuak) na laak sak lohh ding hang honkhia pak thei hi tehh. Gumkhia cih tehh nang ta nang nau ahih nak leh gum hamtang cihna hi lel hi. Tankhia cih kammal pen honkhia cih le gumkhia cih sangin a thu thuk zawkna a mui but zawkna Zomi Zolai siam te in ih thei sa hi pah hi. Tankhia cih pen ama nuntaakna mahmah tawh tankhia a sisan tawh ong tankhia cihna hi. Luang sawng hi. Topa Jesuh in eite ong tankhia hi. Hih tatkhiatna laigil thu pen LST Romans sungah lim gen mahmah hi. Tua pen Justification by faith cih thu ahi hi. Hih Justification by faith pen redemption zong kici thei ding hi. Salvation pen hotkhiatna hi-a, biakna dang te in zong salvation sense nei uh hi. Ei Christian te salvation a tumdang sak pen the Justification by Faith ahi hi. Romans 1: 17na ah “The righteous/ just shall live by faith” na ci ngeu hi. Pasian’ mai ah dik ih tan theihna pen upna hang bek tawh ahi hi.
Tatkhiatna kihel lo hotkhiatna le gupkhiatna nam ahi Buhhism hotkhiatna, Hinduism le Muslim hotkhiatna te in a si cih ding hi. Christian te in zong hotkhiatna le gupkhiatna ih gengen hangin Jesuh ong tatkhiatna ahi Justification by Grace through faith Alone pen a kihel kei leh a si pi ahi hi. Tatkhiatna thu ah hotkhiatna le gupkhiatna kihel hamtang aa, gupkhiatna le hotkhiatna ih cih sungah tatkhiatna kihel lo gige thei hi. Baptists believe Justifiction is the only cause of our sancitfication not vice virsa. But RCs believe sanctification in the reason you will be justified. Justification le sanctification thu a tel te in telsiam pah ding hi. Ei Zopau in Justification pen tatkhiatna hi. Sanctification pen gupkhiatna hi. Hi munah hih thu nih ii thu ih ki tam kup man kei ding hi. Pasian’s sap mite bek kitankhia aa (John 6: 44, 45 No one can come to Me unless he Father who sent Me draws him), tua a kitankhia mite Kha Siangtho nasepna tawh a nisim nuntaakna tung tawnin kigumkhia kisian suah ki sanctified aa, ahi zongin tua hong ki sanctified siansuah gupkhiatna pen tatkhiatna a hong ngahsak thumasa pen hi lo hi. Tatkhiatna (justification) precedes gupkhiatna (sanctification) . Gupkhiatna ih cih tua sanctification pen eimau thu ummi pa/nu le Kha Siangtho kipawl khawm aa sepna kici thei hi. Ahih hangin tua siansuahna ah khanna (growth) pen gumpa Kha Siangtho nasep mah hi kik zel in mihing sepna hang hi lo lai hi.

Upna le Tatkhiatna
Romans 5: 10na ah” Pasian tawh eite ih kilang neih lai takin ama Tapa sihna hangin amah tawh hong kilemsak ahih leh tu-in Pasian tawh kipawl khinta ihih manin Khrih’ nuntaakna in eite bangzahin hong honkhia zo zaw kan ding ahi hiam? Cihnopna ah Jesuh Khrih in a sisan tawh ong tankhia khin ahih leh tatsa mite ih puk zel laina pan-in hong kihon khia lua lai ding cihna kilang pah hi. Pasian in ka mite a puk hangin ka phong kik ding hi ci hi. In English to understand this text: believing does not save me—I simply realize believing saves me. (I am not saved by believing—I simply realize I am saved by believing. And it is not repentance that saves me—repentance is only the sign that I realize what God has done through Christ Jesus. Romans 4: 4na ah “ Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And not the one who does not work but trust him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness. Cihnopna ah: ahi ding bang aa ih nuntaakna pen sepna kici thei lo hi. Ahi zongin a hi ding bang aa nuntaak lohna pen sepna hi se hi. Tatkhiatna ih ngahna dingin mihing na hoih kisem thei lo-a, ahi zongin tatkhiatna ngah lohna dingin na hoih lo kisem thei se hi. Mihing te sepna in sihna piang sak thei bek hi. Pasian in an ne ding aa a nungta ding aa hong bawl kimlai an ni 40 ne kei lecin na si ding hi. Ne kei lecin si ding. Ne lecin si lo ding cihna ah, ahi ding bang aa nuntaakna pen ahi ding mah ahih manin sepna kici thei lo hi. Ahi zongin a hi ding thu a hi lo na suah citciat leh tua pen out of tune, out of order ahih manin tua pen nang ma mawh puak sepna hi ta hi. Pasian in Khrih ong tatkhiatna ih up ding ong kalhna pen a hi ding mah ahih manin ka upna zong sepna hi ven cih theih ding hi lo hi. Na upna na ngawn na sepna aa kal nuam na hi leh nang kuan hong piangsak cih kidong pah lecin. Na mi pumpi mahmah hong bawl ong piangsak pa Pasian ahi hi. Nang le nang na kipiangsak thei kei ding hi. Upna ih cih mahmah zong Pasian’ letsong ahi hi. Mimawh ih hih lam za ah za ih kitel masiah upna ii thupiitna ii thupi saan (appreciate) thei kei ding hi. Mimawh na hih lam, mi kicingtaak lo na hih lam, deih pen a bang zo nai lo na hih lam na kitel zahzah bekin mi hoih na hihna hong khansuah ding hi. Na kihawm thawh semsem leh a hoih semsem cihna ahi hi. Zan hun khua mial hun ciangh mei tang neh semsem rehang ih pum tung ih puan tung aa nin baang kimu semsem hi. Mimawh ih hih lam za ah za kitelna tawh kampau thu genin gamta rehang ih societies kipawlna te ih veng ih paam le ih gam hong nuam pan ding hi mawk hi. Ih veng le paam sung kipawlna a noplohna, Kawlgam zum pai ciangh a nop lohna, Christ makaai te kiangah ih pai ciangh a nop lohna pen ei mau tek ii ih gen ih sep ih bawl zia maan kisa tek mimawh mi za ah za ih hih lam kitel lo tek ih hih man ahi hi. Ih sep khat peuhpeuh a hoih pen kisa kha pahpah i hih man hi. Hi bang paizia tawh upna ii thupiitna ih thupi saan thei kei kha ding hi. We will never appreciate Faith unless we are convicted as sinners by hundreds percent of our own sinful nature. God calls us to the simplest way (faith) for the greatest gain.

Backslide (nungtolh) vs Apostasy (puuk)
Matthew 7: 17, 18na ah “Tua ahih manin singkung cidamte in gah limci gah a, singkung gina lote in gah gina lo gah uh hi. Singkung cidamte in gah gina lo gah ngei lo a, singkung gina lote in gah limci gah nei lo hi. Backslide cih tehh nungtolh cihna hi. Thu ummi khat nungtol pak thei ding hi. Backslidng is possible for true believers. But a postasy is impossible for true believers. Pasian’ saptaktak thu um taktak mi ahih leh Pasian mah in phong kik ding hi. Apostasy cih tehh thu um minpua pong cihna hi. Apostasy means temporary believers. Apostasy cih tehh puukna cihna hi-a, puukna pen a kipatna a maan kei leh puuk cihna hi. Tua ahih manin Pawlpi sungah zong thu um taktak ahi taang le thu um minpua tahum po khawm hi. Thu um min pua te pen a tawpna ah hong puuk hamtang ding uh hi. Gentehna Judah Siakazuh te pawl. Tua a puukna uh pen a kipatna a maan lo uh ahihna le thu um taktak mi ahih lohna uh a kel luphum uh a kilang sak tetti (evidence) ahi hi. In my own word, whether salvation can be lost or not is to be dealth with true beginning, thu repentance and true converstion not by half truth or mere profession. Thu nung thu ma thei lo aa Salvation kitaan thei lo cih ziau pen hoih masa lo-a, salvation kitaan thei cih lah laihuai pen sem hi. Kitaan thei a ci te’n mihing a muang lua suak aa, kitaan thei ngiat lo a ci ziau te in zong Pasian a muang khial suak thei kha dinguh hi. Bangbangin a lang nih tuakah negative point om thei hi mah ta leh kitaan thei lo cih sangin kitaan thei cih pen lauhuai zaw hi. Banghang hiam cih leh kitaan thei ci pen biakna dang ahi buddhism teaching khawng tawh a kilamdanna om lo-in LST lungdamna thu tawh zong ki lehngak zaw hi. Kitaan thei cih pen sepna tawh cihna hi-a, ahi zongin LST in sepna tawh tatkhiatna kingah lo na ci hi. LST tawh kituak lo ahih nak leh lauhuai zaw cihna hi. Sepna cih pen genbanglohna cih kul pah hi. Genbang lo tawh kuamah a si ding ih om kei ding hi. Tua ahih manin tatkhiatna ngah khit tehh kitaan thei maw kitaan thei lo cih tawh ki dong nawn lo zawin, tatkhiatna pen koici bangin kingah cih bangin kidong zaw rehang. Tatkhiatna kitaan maw cih pen ngah khitteh kitaan maw ci-in ki dong nawn lo zaw-in ngah ma-in kitaan thei maw cih lam tawh kidot ding hi zaw hi. Ih ngah takpi aa, thu ummi true believer ih hih taakpi ding thupi masa hi. Ei Zomi te’ lakah (true believer) thu um taktak nungzui taktak mi sangin Christian minpua hong tam semsem na pen decisionism ahi dictatorship le alter call prayer for salvation cih te hang ahi hi. Decisionism cihteh pastor pa in mipi te’ aading salvation hotkhiatna khensat sak cihna hi. Tua a khensat sak mite in pastor pa’ khensat sakna pen paulap suk pah-a tua nu tua pa amah le amah a kipat pan thu um taktak mi ahih loh lam zong mite in phawk sak lo ahih man-a salvation kitaan thei maw kitaan thei lo cih khawng peuh tawh a buai ih hi hi. Decisionism cih tehh ki khawm mite a mai ah samin pastor pa in a ma cih bangbang Tanshwe in a sawl daandaan aa kizui sakin, tua khitteh kei pen tu ni aa kipan a piang thak ta ka hihi cih thunget kizui sak leuleu-in amau le amau kipia tawm gawp cihna hi. A mipa a minu ii kitel taktakna conviction tawm zong omlo thei hi. Tua hi ih buaina!

Mimawh te tungah Pasian’ ong hehpihna
Total depravity and total inability because of Adam’ fall cih LST thu laigil te theih huai masa hi. Mihing te a hoih khat zong om lo hi. No one is righteous Romans 3: 10. Ih vek pi aa, hell gam tung ding aa kilawm ih hih lam, mawh nei mi ih hih lam ih kiciat mahmah ih ki convinced mahmah phot kei leh Pasian’ thu laigil kitel zo lo ding hi. Ih vek aa hell gam tung ding kimlai Jesuh ong tatkhiatna sungah upna tawh hehpihna ih ngah theih pen lungdamna thu hi. Vantung gam tung ding thu ummite pen hell gam tung thu umlo mite sangin a hoih zaw hi peuh mah lo hi. Hell tung te le Vangam tungte ih vek aa a ki bang hi hang. We all deserve hell. Ahi zongin a telsa mite ih kilawmna om het lo pi mah in Jesuh Khrih tanpa le Topa aa ih saanna tawh vangam a ngah thei ding aa nang le kei Pasian in hong hing khawi lai manin lungdam mahmah hang. Tua pen hehpihna ih cihcih pen hi.
Grace-Faith- Repentance- Forgivenness- God’s preservation- and believers’ persevereance.
Tatkhiatna pen na ngah takpi leh na taan nawn kei ding hi. Na ngah takpi kei leh bel na taan ding hi. A pat pan aa a taan khiinkhian a ngah lo khinkhian na hihna pen a tawp dong na kholohna in hong kilang sak kik hi bek hi. A taan lo te pen a kipat cil aa ngah takpi cihna hi. Once truly save always save.

Matthew 24: 24na aa “Banghang hiam cih leh Khrih a kineih khemte le kamsang a kineih khemte hong piang ding a, a hih zawh leh a teelsa mite nangawn a khemna dingun lim le nalamdang lianpipi hong bawl ding uh hi” cihna ah, teelsa mi te pen ahih zawh leh cih hi bek hi. Teelsa mite pen hih zo lo ding cihna kilang pah hi. Late 37: 24na ah “Amah a puk hangin lu-tuk lo ding hi; banghang hiam cih leh Topa in ama khut len hi” ci hi. Christian te ih nisim nuntaakna ah ih tuk zel hangin ih lu kitam lo ding hi. A lang khat lam leuleu ah teel loh mite a khem zawh ding tampi tak hong piang lai ding ahih manin Satan aa dingin kipat taak mahmah lai cihna hi. Pasian in nang le kei hong teel hi. Thanks the Lord!

One last note: Apua lam biaknate gen nai loh Chrisitanity sungah Tatkhiatna kitaan cih pen Roman Catholic ii teaching hi pen hi. Siampi te tungah mawhna suut kei leh cih te pawl etc…Hi thu pen Britist monk Pelagius a kici pa’ upna ahi salvation pen by work tawh hi a ci pa upna zuihna ahi hi. Tua pen Pelagianism kici hi. Tu lai Vatican in ahih leh Semi-Pelagianism kici salvation pen upna le sepna faith+work ahi hi cih thu a pom laitak hi. Ahih hang Vatican mahmah in zong Justificatin by Grace through faith alone cih pen asung lamah official sak khinkhian na pi un apply lo lettuih in gen khia zang khia lo uh hi cih thu zong theih huai. Hi Pelagianism te pen a beisa thu ummite’ hun aa Creed te in a na condemned heresy hi ci-a ana ciapteh ahi hi.

Challenge: Salvation is not by work. It is by Grace through faith alone. Tu lai Kawlgam aa numei naupang bangmah thei cian lote’ gen faith namte bel hi lo. Ei faith gen pen LST Faith hi ei! The Faith of the Bible. Thanks.
