The Question Is: Is There Such A Thing As Not Coming Into Condemnation?

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." John 5:24

What exactly does Jesus mean when He says " Verily, verily, I say unto you...shall not come into condemnation". There is tons of debate about eternal life and how exactly it is accomplished. There is much confusion on this subject, and much disagreement among those that call themselves Christians. However, my main question is, can one be saved without a proper understanding of significant salvation. Can those who call themselves Christians have such a broad disagreement on the truth about salvation and still be right? I cannot and do not see salvation as a difficult subject as some do. I see salvation as a simple task and as an eternal task. I believe this is one of the scriptures most profound proofs of salvation. I believe this one single scripture proves about five details of salvation that is ironclad the entire doctrine of salvation. (1.) Jesus said it, this scripture is an absolute truth from the mouth of Jesus Christ. Since it is nothing or no one can add to it or subtract from it, if they do it will turn the absolute truth into an absolute lie. Anytime Jesus speaks noting else can be added because He is Omniscience. (2.) Jesus said this, ... He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life..." The word you will hear is the word of the gospel, there is no question that God has chosen to save sinners in hearing the gospel. Paul said the reason I preach the gospel is because it is what I was saved by also. 1 Corinthians 15:3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures..." If the Gospel is good enough for the Apostles then it is good enough for me. It is because of the hearing of the gospel we learn how to believe on Jesus Christ as our Saviour. It is the fact that He died and shed His blood and that blood is what God counts as sufficient for our sin covering. It is the Gospel that teaches us that He rose from the grace on the third day, and sites at the Fathers right hand. (3.) Jesus said also, that if you hear (as the Holy Spirit opens the spiritual ear door) and you believe on Jesus Christ then (...passed from death unto life...) This means you have passed from the death that Adam brought and now live in the life that Jesus Christ has delivered. "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." 1 Corinthians 15:22 I must ask this question right here; if one has been passed from death unto life, then can one die again? The undeniable answer is no! Look at our next two points. (4.) "...hath everlasting life..." If one has eternal life than something has to separate us from it. Now to separate us from our eternal live would mean that we would have to re-enter eternal death again. It would also mean that the life Jesus Christ promised was no longer valid. It would also means that I would have be un-born again. it would also means that God made a mistake in saving me because I somehow undone what he eternally did. and it would mean that I separated myself from the love of God, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ...For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:35 - 39 because regardless what some believe God does not love everyone in the world. Psalms 5:5 "... thou hatest all workers of iniquity." (5.) and the last proof is that Jesus promised, "...shall not come into condemnation..." how can one be promised by God they will not be see, or come into condemnation and then come into condemnation? that sounds like mans promise and not Gods. It is man that lies and not God. Paul told the church at Rome in Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus..."

Who do you believe, Jesus Christ or man?
