Oh, so you're Pentecostal or Baptist. The phrasing you're using isn't unique, and many non-denominational churches are actually either Pentecostal or Baptist based on their foundational doctrine. Since what you're saying certainly does line up with their thinking, it'll make it easier for me to...

JLB, what denomination are you?

Alright. At least we can agree on something :)

I agree with this.

Not exactly. Jesus said there is a requirement. John 3:5 says (NLT), "Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit." Being born of water means to be human. To be born of the spirit means they cannot enter the Kingdom in their sinful...

Were you aware that the word "repent" in every scripture you quoted means "metanoeō" in the Greek? Metanoeo means to "change one's mind". Here, see for yourself: http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Act&c=2&t=KJV#s=t_conc_1020038 In Acts 26:20, your verse is literally saying, "and do...

There's no way I can convince you. So, I'll tell you what. Why don't you ask God for console? What I mean is, ask God if I'm wrong. If I am indeed wrong, God will tell you I am. If I'm not wrong, then he will reveal what's been lost to you. Just try it. It's worth a shot, isn't it?

I've noticed several people attempt to correct you on the idea of salvation. So, at this stage, it isn't so much that people here are trying to reveal the truth to you. It's really us trying to get you to see the truth for yourself. I believe you're in great denial. Perhaps its because you want...

Correct. I agree.

Ya know, I show videos to simplify my points. Not to override them or substitute them. You cannot lose your salvation. Check out this video which will further explain what I'm saying to you. :)

But you don't believe in universal atonement. Very interesting.

He claimed he simply didn't believe. This is what I honestly do not understand. I mean, if one believes in Jesus Christ, then one will naturally love him. When you love Jesus Christ, you can't help but do good works.

Ah, OK. Well, I agree that good works naturally springs forth due to faith. I'm a major proponent of that. However, JLB is not.

Ephesians 2:8-10 (KJV) says, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."...

So... A man is justified by faith and not of works. Yet, a man can lose justification because of works? You don't see a problem with that?

Uh... No. What you quoted does not say "only the redeemed are saved." Yes, through Christ we are redeemed, but it's isn't exclusive. Also, these verses don't say only the Father can forgive sins. Speaking of denominations. What denomination are you? I hope I don't offend you by suggesting this...

The Art of Oral Exchange, right? This is some times referred to the Art of Dueling with Words (http://journal.oraltradition.org/files/articles/24i/04_24.1.pdf). Further research into this subject reveals that this so-called "art" involves yelling obscenities and using strong expressive language...

I'm not a universalist, btw. I was a Pentecostal for most of my life. Where does the bible say this? Find me a verse that specifically says, "Only the redeemed are forgiven". The sole prerogative of God the Father? :) Jesus was able to forgive sins (Luke 7:48). So, looks like God the Father...
