May I suggest this for securing your eternal life?
Lately, I've heard several saying that salvation is not awarded or lost until the end of whenever. Scriptures stating that our faith must endure until the end of our lives ... Mark 13:13 • But he who endures with his faith to the end (of his life) shall be saved eternally … and also please see... -
May I suggest this for securing your eternal life?
Absolutely, but Jesus' blood must be continuously applied to cover continuous sins! This is what repentance is all about in 1 John 1:7-10. So, why aren't all of the many dozens of warning passages only about repentance? I.E. They could have just basically said, "Okay, you sin, that's obvious... -
May I suggest this for securing your eternal life?
Lotsa talk lately about the BAC's righteousness, or lack thereof. “IF we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.†(1 John 1:9) Who would like to be the first to call into question old John's sanity? He is saying a... -
May I suggest this for securing your eternal life?
The NT in English is plenty good enough for me with the indispensible help of the Holy Spirit. God did not arrange for the Scriptures to be penned for people with above-average intelligence, education, etc. (especially those with knowledge of Greek), that’s for sure! The English is quite... -
There are 3 very distinct levels of eternal life verses
Sorry, sometimes I sin. Regrettable, but true. -
May I suggest this for securing your eternal life?
I didn't mean it to come across that way. For one have eternal life @ the end of his life, God must consider him to be righteous! Everything is about a person being righteous or unrighteous in God's eyes. IMO, much of the church has taught that a BAC has the imputed righteousness of Christ... -
May I suggest this for securing your eternal life?
Yes, let's look at these verses ... 1 John 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin ... (and the reverse also) Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, Rom 2:8 but to those who are self-seeking... -
May I suggest this for securing your eternal life?
Throughout the entire Scriptures, only the righteous are saved. The Christian is responsible for maintaining his imputed righteousness! “... whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.” (Acts 10:35) “… you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.” (1... -
There are 3 very distinct levels of eternal life verses
We need to make sure that you read and comprehend the following ... "But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not... -
Explaining why many people are stuck on OSAS
This forum has blown my mind for how long now ... 3 years? 'Tis a miracle that I have any mind left. -
Explaining why many people are stuck on OSAS
I WAS like everyone else ... very happy and content to accept God's free gift of grace-faith! Why wouldn't I be? But, then I started really reading all of the many dozens of warnings to the churches. And some of them warn of losing eternal life! Does anyone care? No. Reason: I'd say they're... -
Explaining why many people are stuck on OSAS
Danus, We are responsible for our sin, but not for our salvation??? The Scriptures argue against you. Paul warned the Romans to choose to be slaves of sin, or slaves of God, etc. He warned them that being slaves of sin results in eternal death. What part of this do you not understand? Problem... -
Explaining why many people are stuck on OSAS
Heads Up ... If all of the olde church denominations could/can be so disastrously wrong about cessationism, they certainly could/can be wrong about anything! There were/are many reasons for erroneous doctrines in the churches! You may take this as a personal warning, and take it to the bank... -
Explaining why many people are stuck on OSAS
Sorry, I have NO problem whatsoever with God's free gift of grace-faith-salvation (Eph 2:8-9) ... if it wasn't for those tiny little pesky warnings (many dozens of them)! -
Explaining why many people are stuck on OSAS
I am 100% into election ... but BACs are not given a free pass with no responsibilities. After being born-again, our free will kicks in. The Lord will not circumvent our free will. -
Explaining why many people are stuck on OSAS
Yes, I refer to Romans 8:28-30 all the time. IMO, these are the elect who were chosen before the foundation of the world. IMO, not all BACs are part of this elect group ... ... and this is what all of the warnings are about. The warnings are directed at both groups: -- the elect will take heed... -
Explaining why many people are stuck on OSAS
Silly me … I thought all a BAC had to do was read the Scriptures and believe them! I recently came across this teaching on the Internet … "This subject is one that I believe the devil has done much damage. If a person is saved and tormented by guilt and shame, then the devil will accuse them... -
There are 3 very distinct levels of eternal life verses
W/O looking it up, I'd say to partake of something is to participate in it. E.G. To partake in the breaking of bread with a group would be to join with them in eating. -
There are 3 very distinct levels of eternal life verses
Heb 6:4-8 • “For it is impossible for those who … have become partakers of the Holy Spirit … if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.” Fall away from grace-faith-salvation! … Repent again to... -
There are 3 very distinct levels of eternal life verses
Level 1 -- Only Believe … example: --------- “… whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3;15) Level 2 -- Deeper Details … example: --------- “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. --------- And I give them eternal life“ (John 10:27-28)...
