As much as one possible can. (It seems you don't like Christ said to strive to enter the kingdom)

1 Jn 1:7-10 shows Christian are not going to be perfectly, flawlessly sinless therefore will have to walk in the light to have those sins cleansed away. The Christian will not be sinlessly perfect on his own. He can find perction in Christ for those that have been baptized into Christ (Gal...

I have seen Calvinists on other forums use this idea of 'imputation' to get around the necessity of obedience in becoming saved. The claim is made Christ's righteousness is unconditionally imputed to the sinner and the sinner's sins, [along with the consequence and guilt of those sins], are...

There is no contradiction between Jn 11:26 and Jn 15:2. The Christian can fall away from Christ and become lost...no OSAS. This does not fit Gills theology so he 'wrested' the scriptures creating an idea not found in scripture to get around his problem. I see just one Vine spoken about in John...

But there are no verses that teach Christ's righteousness is unconditionally 'imputed' into the sinner or the sinner's sins are unconditionally 'imputed' into Christ. The Bible teaches for the sinner to be saved, nothing is imputed to the sinner of Christ but the sinner must be obedient to the...

I never claimed to be perfectly sinless, Christians do sin 1 Jn 1:7-10. But God does NOT require me to be flawlessly perfectly sinless to be saved. All God requires of me is to have a faithful obedience which means I strive (Lk 13:24) to do as God says but repent when I fall short for God...

No one today was an eyewitness of Christ, therefore no one today can 'witness' for Christ. People can read the signs John wrote down (Jn 20:30-31) and believe them. (I dealt with Mark 16:17-12 in an earlier post.)

I used the Bible to back up what I posted. So far you have not proven you can speak in tongues as it was in the Bible.

In 1 Cor 14 the tongues Paul is talking about are known understandable earthly languages..."many kinds of voices in the world". Your bias does not allow you to see this. For example: 1 Cor 14:8-9 "For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? So likewise...

The purpose of those signs was to bring about the completed NT and confirmation of it (Heb 2:3-4) which occurred by the end of the first century, Therefore the signs fulfilled their purpose and ceased as Paul said they would. The best analogy I have heard is when a building is under...

OSAS was first taught by Satan in the garden of Eden. God told Adam and Eve "thou shalt surely die" but Satan told them " Ye shall not surely die".

Gal 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you...

The "he" is the one who did the work to make the convert. If Paul's convert is judged to be lost then he-Paul will still be saved if he remains faithful himself 1 Cor 9:27. Paul referred to his Corinthian converts as his 'work' 1 Cor 9:1

The context is about converts that will be judged to be lost.

The 'non-osas crowd' teaches there is a consequence for stealing, lying, etc......eternal condemnation. Therefore NT belief does not allow for stealing, lying, etc. OSAS gives a free pass to sinning with no consequence. I have read that in the very early history of this country atheists were...

--how were the Apostles or anyone else take the gospel to the world if they could not speak the various UNDERSTANDABLE languages of the world??? The 'ecstatic utterance' are useless menaingless do not cannot teach nor edify anyone. --in the context of Mark 16 it was the Apostles who were the...

If I could suddenly speak in Chinese then it must be interpreted or translated to where the hearer can understand, else I am speaking to the air, blowing a trumpet that is not understood, be as a barbarian to those that do not understand what I am saying therefore no edification takes place...

Gift of tongue speaking does not exist today, just as baptism with the Holy Spirit does not exist today. No one today speaks in tongues as they did in the Bible. Tongue speaking in the Bible was NOT 'ecstatic utterances' but was speaking in known earthly languages that the speaker formerly did...

Christ's righteousness was flawless, sinlessly perfect. If Christ's perfect, flawless righteousness is imputed or transferred to the Christian then why aren't Christians as sinless, flawless and perfect as Christ in their day to day thoughts, actions?

You're welcome.
