I believe Stanley change his mind about wanting to be invited to a thread about doing God's will.

(Post removed. ToS 2.14, If a member disagrees with a Moderator's action, they are not to take their dispute public. Obadiah.)

Today's Christians pay no attention to such verses because ... the churches have taught their members to only believe the popular verses. (Edited, ToS 2.4, We will not belittle those who work in the Lords service. Obadiah.) Then, when people like us come along, we are treated as lunatics, even...

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord’, shall enter the kingdom of heaven (*) but he who does the will of My Father in heaven … I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Matt 7:21-23) We see from the passage above: • those who do the will...

You're definitely invited ... as is everyone else! And it appears that we have more non-OSASers than a year ago. Praise be to the Lord.

I'm in the middle of preparing a thread on obeying the will of God for the gaining and keeping of eternal life.

Count that down as a ditto for myself and Jethro (may he rest, dead or alive, in peace). IMO, most American Christians today believe in OSAS! (Especially the mafia who go to mass on Sunday and continue their killing on Monday.)

I was a member of a large Baptist forum for several years. ALL of them are staunch OSASers!

Then why all of the NT warning Scriptures about believers losing eternal life?

I was guessing ... but it would not surprise me that the English translation is faulty. Do you think "will" is closer to the Greek?

I began evangelical, was promoted to Pentecostal, then Charismatic ... all of this before Jesus called me to be an evangelist and sent me to evangelize in Bulgaria (starting in 1992).

Keep in mind, Paul did not forget to mention in his letters to Ephesus and Colossae, dat he was writing to the FAITHFUL saints who were der. Please consider these things as you read: everything written in those letters were written to dis sub-group sitting in the church pews!

Yes, BACs can and do purposefully sin. In this extremely important case, they served as an example and a warning for us all.

News Flash! ... Charles is a Baptist, so methinks re: dis delicate topic, he has to side with the Baptists (most of whom are adamant OSASers).

Inside joke with those who knew Jethro, but didn't appreciate his spiritual wisdom. Alas, seems he has left.
