    God calls you to be an overcomer by living a holy life!

    Rev 2:7 … To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life … Rev 2:11 … He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death. “Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God …” (Rev 20:6)...

    By God’s law it’s impossible … it’s only possible by God’s grace!

    Does that go for one of my favorites (in post 34) also? I have another one about Paul's fear, which I will post tomorrow.

    By God’s law it’s impossible … it’s only possible by God’s grace!

    IMO, you are saying that most people here are spiritually blind. And I concur. I've been here a few years now, but not as long as you. Seriously, the time is getting short ... and it's time for the church to wake up! You should read what God's prophets have been seeing and hearing in...

    By God’s law it’s impossible … it’s only possible by God’s grace!

    As per usual, you people have no idea what I'm talking about. From the warnings/threats in the NT to Paul's working out his salvation with fear and trembling to progressive sanctification to how God's evangelists operate to the purpose of God's prophets and to everything else! BTW, I have...

    By God’s law it’s impossible … it’s only possible by God’s grace!

    Jesus told His disciples to present the gospel, and if they reject it ... well, you know the rest. Same with evangelists today. They come in and say what the pastors dare NOT say, and leave. I was called to be an evangelist. I present the Scriptures which were designed to convict. It's up to...

    By God’s law it’s impossible … it’s only possible by God’s grace!

    John 15: 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself...

    By God’s law it’s impossible … it’s only possible by God’s grace!

    Of course, you are right ... but, we're NOT talking about you! And this is where everyone is blind. We're talking about those few who have made a decision UNLIKE yours ... ... to ditch the whole thing, and go back to what they miss terribly. Not exactly like Lot's wife because she had no holy...

    By God’s law it’s impossible … it’s only possible by God’s grace!

    Php_3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God of faith: Perhaps the key is the U/L ... our righteousness comes from God ... because of our faith.

    By God’s law it’s impossible … it’s only possible by God’s grace!

    I have known for years that the great and venerable and anointed KJV is far from perfect. Just think of all of the great missionaries and evangelists, etc. who used it all over the world. However, we found this to be true (compared to the NKJV) in examples such as: -- a verse in Isaiah 40 or...

    By God’s law it’s impossible … it’s only possible by God’s grace!

    BACs must co-operate with the Holy Spirit in everything! BACs must have their sins purged from their lives! BACs must live a life of holiness, without which they will not see the Lord! Multitudes of prophecies have come forth over the past 30 years or so concerning God's destroying of America...

    By God’s law it’s impossible … it’s only possible by God’s grace!

    Yes, the broken record is ... The BAC must co-operate with the Holy Spirit in everything! Gee, even in overcoming! ... Imagine that!

    By God’s law it’s impossible … it’s only possible by God’s grace!

    Rom 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but (YOU) overcome evil with good. Rev 2:7 To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.”’ Rev 2:11 He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.” Rev 2:17 To him who overcomes I...

    By God’s law it’s impossible … it’s only possible by God’s grace!

    God’s grace is His unmerited favor towards man … and without it man cannot please God! God’s grace includes all of the following … (1) the possibility that even some people can be saved, (2) His ingenious plan of salvation, (3) His sending God the Son to earth, (4) His giving free gift of...

    A different approach at disproving OSAS

    You say this because you have no idea why the Lord has called pastors, evangelists, etc. (And we won't even mention prophets, who are generally more anointed than these two. I repeat that we won't even mention them.) The Scriptures are chuck full of warnings/threats (of all kinds) to believers...

    A different approach at disproving OSAS

    Jesus stresses the consequences of being unfruitful ... John 15: 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I...

    A different approach at disproving OSAS

    Generally speaking ... I believe that the warnings/threats in the NT are written to EVERYONE. Because so many of these speak of the lifestyle of the unsaved, while also warning the BAC to NOT return to this previous way of living. So the warnings are to the unsaved ... Do not do these things...

    A different approach at disproving OSAS

    Yes, I understand this is the way non-OSASers are treated, instead of just dealing with the Scriptures.

    My Top-10 personal favorite passages against OSAS

    GRACE IS A WONDERFUL THING ... but it's only the starting-off point, like a rat getting pulled out of the dumpster, but Paul does a lot of encouraging that it should not fall back in again. Okay, let's talk fruit-bearing ... John 15:1-6 • Christians who do not bear fruit (are not abiding in...

    A different approach at disproving OSAS

    I think you all went into panic mode and forgot to really look carefully @ the OP. For example, it appears that you don't believe doing God's will is important, whereas, IMO, it is what the passage is mostly about.

    A different approach at disproving OSAS

    Matthew 7:21-23 21 "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 "Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your...
