Really Satan believes???
James 2:19
You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
Head knowledge is nothing at all. Just because one can say what is right means nothing at all.
Satan cannot be saved. Do take verses in its proper context with His help rather than how believers may misapply it out of context to mean.
James 2:19 is taken out of context when that is about how the church was trying to get out of helping the poor after church service by giving them a departing benediction that God will provide for their hinger & nakedness when the church had it in their provision from the bounty collected to meet their immediate needs. This was another example of disrespect & abuse towards the poor that the church was doing by announcing the church's faith in God's Providence without leading by example.
So when the church announced that faith in God's Providence without leading by example, in the eyes of the poor, the church's faith in His Providence was dead and the church's faith hardly profited the poor, et alone save the poor that were starving & naked to the elements.
This is the most common misapplication of scripture among believers that thinks James was speaking against OSAS when he was just rebuking the church in getting our of helping the poor from the bounty or collection after church service by voicing their faith in God's Providence.
As it is, former believers are still saved. That is why they & Catholics are called to go to Jesus Christ for help to see the truth in His words so they can lean on Him to depart from iniquity & leave the Catholic Church.
This is what saved believers should be doing for all those gone astray in seeking their good in the Lord so as to avoid being excommunicated, left behind at the rapture event when they have to die for their spirits to be with the Lord, &wait for their resurrection after the great tribulation as vessels unto dishonor that are in His House; meaning they are still saved, but missed out on being part of the firstfruits of the resurrection..
2 Timothy 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him:
if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
18
Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already;
and overthrow the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
God is coming to judge His House first, and Catholics are not the only ones that need to trust Jesus Christ as their Good Shepherd in helping them discern the weights & sins to lay them aside daily in running that race. Each & every believer needs His help to get ready or else.
1 Corinthians 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon.
But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
