Diem,
Yes I read your post. Many Christians usually try to uphold what you are saying by using the references you sited. They say that if children are naturally among those to whom a place in the kingdom of God belongs, the ones who die while this is true will be taken to heaven as a matter of...
There are those who have denied that all people are born depraved. But the bible says that they are estranged from birth (Psalms 58:3) The wicked are estranged from the womb: They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies
All people are born with a depraved or sinful disposition. When people are born into the world, they are born of the flesh ( John3:6) and they are subject to the characteristics of the flesh. They are directed by the mind of the flesh, which is enmity against God and is not subject to the Law...
Grace cannot be earned, deserved or bought, in hole or in part. That is why the bible constantly contrast grace with law, works and debt.
Under law, a man receives what he justly deserves. The 10 commandments, for instance, promised continuance of life on earth to those who obeyed, and death...
Salvation once applied to the sinner, cannot and will not be resisted. As Jesus explained, " All that the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will by no means cast out"(John 6:37) Salvation is Christ's work applied to the sinner by the Fathers sovereign act.
Do we as...
Every child of God was chosen in Christ before the foundations of the world (Eph 1:4). The Fathers election and predestination of his own insure the eventual salvation and eternal preservation (Romans 8:30, John 6:37).
Salvation depends, not on what we do for God, but on what he has done for...
The result of God's grace in a person's life is a divine constraint to holiness. The grace of God teaches that denying the ungodliness and wordly lust, he should live soberly, righteously, and Godly in this present world(Titus)2:11. The remembrance of what our sins cost the Savior makes us...
There are those that because of OSAS think that they can live as they like because "OSAS".
It is often used by some to justify murder, abuse and wickedness in the name of Jesus, because "OSAS"!
This is the danger of OSAS.
Evan this is so true. Its really a shame that Satan can take and use...
After the last thread was closed I had the opportunity to discuss OSAS with a young pastor. I was reminded of this when I read what the first poster said when he mentioned that OSAS was a lie by satan. This pastor was telling me that there are days he doesnt sin. He believes that you can loose...
Isn't our God an awesome God! Even though we are filthy and unclean. He decided before time began to lift some out of the mud and cleanse them. To make them his children, even an unwilling creature that hated him. He softens the heart and begins the process of regeneration so that they will...
Hbr 6:4 For [it is] impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
Hbr 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
Hbr 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto...
Look at Christ's priestly prayer before His crucifixion. John 17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them: I pray not for the world...
Who imparts salvation? Who is it from and who gives salvation? Clearly, it is God who grants salvation. Salvation is a work of the Holy Spirit upon a repentant sinner. Conversely, we see that man does not nor cannot do anything for his salvation- his part is to only believe by faith. Does a dead...
If one could lose his salvation, he would have to be re-born again, or re-regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Try as I might, I cannot find one verse stating this. And we have Scripture stating the opposite of this- that once one gains salvation, or has been cleansed from sin, he never needs to be...
Jonah 2:9- Salvation is of the LORD. Here we see that the Lord does the work of salvation. Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 'He did'; again, God does the doing. Notice...
