    My latest attempt at connecting the dots vs. OSAS

    I thought we had explained this to thou already ... Jesus NEVER will cast anyone out who has come in. However, we can, of our own free will, cast ourselves out by reneging on our part in the covenant. And this can be accomplished in a multitude of ways: walking away from our faith, returning...

    My latest attempt at connecting the dots vs. OSAS

    From an Administrator ... OSAS fails at about OS - Once Saved. The Biblical model of salvation involves repentance & regeneration, and then the believer enters a state of salvation, and those who persevere "to the end, shall be saved." OSAS incorrectly identifies regeneration as "getting...

    The 7 deadly lists of habitual sins

    Heb 10:29-31 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a...

    The 7 deadly lists of habitual sins

    There are 7 NT passages which give … Examples of deadly habitual sins that will keep Christians out of heaven. Christians are provided with WARNINGS, and those who are committing these sins habitually are called “unrighteous” (1 Cor 6:9) “do not be deceived” (1 Cor 6:9) “let no one deceive...

    My latest attempt at connecting the dots vs. OSAS

    Sorry, I'm not sure if I'm repeating myself here ... God created His angels and humans to have free-will. He did not desire the co-operation of robots, or to to be worshipped by robots. Throughout the OT, God shows Himself as being desirous of working hand-in-hand with man ... His plan has...

    My latest attempt at connecting the dots vs. OSAS

    Spirit-filled pastors claim to have experienced this, i.e. known such people. I experienced this with a guy who is now Muslim. He claimed to have been born-again and Spirit-filled ... but in doing some research, he lost his faith in the reliability of Scripture. He and his wife are now...

    My latest attempt at connecting the dots vs. OSAS

    Please don't be too hard on Urk. I have posted this info in several places ... and there always seems to be some who insist that they have NO idea what I'm talking about! And I have to give them the benefit of the doubt.

    My latest attempt at connecting the dots vs. OSAS

    Do you mean the love God had for His "chosen people" in the OT? Let's look up all of those passages where He talks about His "everlasting love" for them. The last to post 10 of them is a monkey's uncle! His love was SO everlasting that he left 99% of them scattered all over the desert floor...

    My latest attempt at connecting the dots vs. OSAS

    Okay, that's a fair assertion ... because it is a very important subject indeed. Now, what do you think about all of the many dozens of warnings given to the churches, some actually warning about losing eternal life?

    My latest attempt at connecting the dots vs. OSAS

    Couldn't care less! ... I just feel led to warn people who are sitting in their cozy little OSAS pews where they hear erroneous doctrines, such as cessationism! ... Excuse me for an hour or two, 'cause I can't stop laughing ... wait, maybe I'm crying. You don't have the first clue of the...

    My latest attempt at connecting the dots vs. OSAS

    Here’s my latest attempt to explain why OSAS is false … I have connected a few previously unconnected dots! All verses are from the NKJV. • God looks forward to...

    Not all born-again Christians make it through the sanctification process!

    God’s strength is perfected in our weakness, our inability to obey His commandments in our own strength. He calls us to a life of holiness and separation. He tells us we can be free from the bondage of sin. His Word comes to us with some impossible challenges: "Resist the devil. Walk in the...

    Will all born-again Christians make it to heaven?

    Our English renderings of such verses as John 5:24 may really be misleading! The verb “pisteuo” is used 98 times in John, and his usage is complex. In the vast majority of instances, John’s usage of “pisteuo” implies an authentic, active, abiding belief in Jesus. However, there are other...

    Will all born-again Christians make it to heaven?

    For those interested, here are some Scriptures supporting my view, and the view of other commentators ... 1 Cor 16:13 ... Gal 5:1 ... Eph 6:14-15 ... Phil 4:1 ... Col 1:22-23 ... Heb 10:35-36 ... James 5:8 ... 1 Pet 5:9 [edited by staff]

    Will all born-again Christians make it to heaven?

    "But he who endures to the end will be saved." (Matthew 10:22, Mark 13:13) IMO, this refers to one's faith, perseverance, etc. with regard to eternal salvation. One and all are encouraged to research this! ... And dozens of other passages. Your eternal destiny might just depend on it.

    Special: For those of you expecting to go to heaven

    Holiness is required “… but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.†(1 Peter 1:15-16, NKJV) “… we should be holy and without blame before Him in love …†(Ephesians 1:4, NKJV) “… to present...

    Not all born-again Christians make it through the sanctification process!

    Hurts to read the Truth? or ... Hurts to read the colors? #1 only makes sense to me. For those of you who don't like colors, I suggest don't read. After all, I'm not here to please everyone ... that's impossible.

    Not all born-again Christians make it through the sanctification process!

    I feel secure in realizing the necessity and importance of the many dozens of warning passages, which were written to the churches by Jesus, Paul, Peter, etc. And I feel secure in realizing the necessity of passing this revelation along to OSAS people. Paul didn't feel secure in his...

    Will all born-again Christians make it to heaven?

    1 John 1:7 "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." However, the OSAS proponent says he is immune to sin by declaring that he is free from the Law of sin and death. He is saying...
