Hundreds, if not sincerely repented of (run away from, forsaken, etc.). But, apparently not the ONE you mentioned.

Butski, how about those believers in the NT churches who rejected God's grace? They fell away, right? ... Difficult to fall away from somethin' you never had. I suppose I need to dreg up all of those verses also? (Edited, ToS 2.4, offering unwelcome spiritual advice. Obadiah.)

Thou understandeth the NT ... I wish everyone here would listen to you and believe you!

Congrats ... you are almost (but not quite) as tricky at times to follow as Paul. Yes, MANY parts of the Scriptures are meant to be understood only through the Spirit. And NOT by just reading the words! That's why unbelievers, such as the Muslims, really have NO idea what the NT is saying...

Please just concentrate on trying to understand Romans 6. Believe me, it will be far more beneficial for you!

Perhaps, I should remind you just exactly who Paul was writing to in Ephesus ... "... to the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus: ..." It is more than possible for a saint who is sitting in a church to NOT be living faithfully. This condition can, of course, change through...

Okay, what you say to verses such as: “… let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous” (1 John 3:7) I.E. If you do NOT practice righteousness, you are NOT righteous in God's eyes! P.S. There are more of these ... perhaps you'd like to see them? Meanwhile, Deborah's...

But it has always appeared that what you promote is ignoring 100+ NT verses, which were written to the churches! BTW, we won't even dare talk about all of Jesus' warnings ... since it's not 100% sure He was talkin' to BACs. But, IMO, He was talkin' to everyone on the planet. Actually, the...

Thou shall actually see ... how wrong thou actually is! Praise God. I'ze a-talkin' about the 2 up's: -- unbelievable persecution (even unto death) during the great tribulation of the antichrist -- unbelievable pressure (even unto death) to partake of the antichrist's mark of the beast You...

Post-apostolic, there has been way too much dB (so much that it hurts). Post-apostolic, there has been way too much dU (so much that it hurts). Way too much disastrous Belief in such things as OSAS. Way too much disastrous Unbelief in such things as the spiritual power gifts.

I'll take a wild guess and say ... God wants to do what He has promised, warned, threatened, etc. in His word, which, in this case, is to exclude them from eternal life.

Yup, and those who are really His will be a-gatherin' in small groups before very long for 2 reasons: -- God will be shuttin' down many corrupt churches -- the antichrist will be killin' many in all churches

Yes, especially since 1900, when God started pouring out His end-time spiritual gifts! Now, how they have been appropriated by the church is another story. Thanks for sharing your spiritual wisdom and understanding.

Please prepare to have your mind blown! Man has always been a spiritual idiot. Man has always needed for God to show us the way to heaven, etc. Man has been given Scriptures by God so he can learn spiritual Truth. Man has NO choice but to trust what he has been blessed with. Guess what that is...

Please refer to the issue @ hand ... What do you believe "cowardly" refers to?

I would suggest that many people have done this, all the while believing in OSAS. IMO, MILLIONS have lost the salvation they initially had because of this.

You obviously believe the NT doctrines/ traditions = those of the large post-apostolic churches. I ask thou ... How deceived can one be?

Some things never seem to change ... “making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down.” (Mark 7:13) Are false doctrines less or full? ... As in harmless or harmful.

Most Christians do NOT believe that Scriptures like the following apply to them. But, they do! … Notice these passages specifically apply to believers … “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable...

IMO, most of you are missing the point that false doctrines can be very damaging, even very dangerous. And that was the main intent of the OP. OSAS especially comes to mind as being very dangerous. So again, the safest course to take is to go directly to the source: Scripture and the indwelling...
