I have done that. And you ignore it all so to make your argument against God's free irrevocable gift of eternal security in his salvation.

You will continue to make arguments against the Gospel.
she teaches conditional life and conditional security

not eternal life and eternal security

There are more than just her doing that here.

When someone does not recognize and follow the actual gospel of Jesus,they are not his.
some just can not get out of their own way..

we saw this in Jesus day with the pharisees. religion and self importance was more important that admitting the truth,.

Maybe a comparative analogy will help.

If someone is drowning in the ocean and the lifeguard saves them,can they then in that moment drown?

No.

Not unless that lifeguard throws them back into the ocean.

Which is something Jesus tells us will never happen.
Of all whom the father gives Jesus,he shall lose none.

Even if a sheep strays from the herd,Jesus,the shepherd,will leave the flock so to bring the stray,backslider,home.

Salvation is forever.
Then hear ye the parable of the rebellious child .
Who was in the ocean and drowing
and immediately with JOY he grabbed hold of the life line
and was pulled out of the ocean
ONLY to return and drown in it . HE should have continued to FOLLOW that life guard and his lessons .
Kinda sounds like the parable
immedialtey they recieve it with joy , but have no root .
You ever wonder WHY JESUS warned and told HIS own TO CONTINUE IN HIM
and why paul and peter did as well . as well as why JOHN reminded them .
AND yet , when men like me remind the church
to CONTINUE IN HIM
we got told we DONT TRUST IN JESUS . KINDA ODD DONT YA THINK .

Might i suggest we all simply as a child just trust in JESUS , which means ALL of his words
and including all of his warnings and reminders about Having to continue in HIM to the end .
WHY is it so many seem to come after folks
who simply remind the church to CONTINUE IN HIM .
Even the apostels warned about this too .

I wonder why someone insists Jesus was false.

Jesus said he will lose none whom the father gives him. Jesus said,the free gift of eternal security in his Salvation is an irrevocable gift of God.

Why don't you believe him?

In my view,a self invented Jesus is not the true savior.
SPOT ON RIGHT with that my friend .
So might i ask us why so many who claim to BELEIVE IN JESUS
sure dont seem to BELEIVE all HIS WORDS .
Cause YOU ARE RIGHT about this statement . A self invented JESUS is NOT the TRUE SAVOIR
and as a result , IT WONT SAVE SQUAT .
so tell me why do i see money loving jesus , rainbow jesus ,
koran kissing and budda kissing jesus .
WHY do i see a jesus beleived upon by so many within christendom
that sure does contradict THE VERY words of THE JESUS .
And why on earth do so many seem to love this all inclusive jesus who darn sure
has made the road to GOD very sin accepting , unbeleif accepting
and hollers non stop love love love , yet KNOWS NEITHER GOD OR THE LOVE OF GOD .
because THAT there jesus , IT DARN sure cannot save . but why do so many love that jesus .
And the answer is , CAUSE WE IN A MASSIVE FALLLING AWAY right NOW .

THE CHURCH about this too .

Those verses refer to assurance , not conditionality.

It doesn't work to claim you believe in eternal security in God's free irrevocable gift of his salvation only to then insist it is a conditional reprieve dependent on your behaviors.

Keep twisting things as usual . Tell ya what
IF JESUS said it , WHY DONT WE JUST say it .
This is the most laziest , lukewarm generation and its in dire trouble .
ANYONE here ever wonder WHY GOD even warns
WHY CHRIST warned , WHY the apostels warned
and why later FROM heaven JESUS again warns the churches .
BECAUSE ITS FOR OUR OWN GOOD . GOD dont desire the death of the wicked .
AND GOD , CHRIST , The apostels by the SPIRIT ,
KNOW HOW TO KEEP THE CHURCH safe and from falling dude .
But you all omit all warnings in favor of an acroynm .
That while there are truths IN it
IT IS OMITTING the works of the SPIRIT , the words of JESUS , the words of the apostels
WHICH do HELP keep the church safe .

I sure hope people here did not raise their children
on this mindset . always lovey lovey
no warnings , no reminders , no gravity
no warnings of consequences
This generation seems hell bent
on creating a fairy jesus that just goes around
telling all , HEY all is well , just spout my name ,
NOTHING you can do will cause ..............
THAT AINT JESUS dude . HE WARNED THEM THEY had to CONTINUE
HE was fast to correct even sin and error . EVEN when invited to meals
HE rebuked all error . As did the apostels .
TODAY its just who can say love the most and
about the only thing they do hate is
CORRECTION , THE WORDS OF GOD that expose sin
Do you see the problem in this yet .

But the apostels sure did . i guess their cliams of believing IN CHRIST and HIS ETERNAL security
was bad too . YOu all need a wake up call .
IF YE CONTINUE IN HIS GOODNESS . otherwise ye cast out .
OH i already know your common response .
IF the unbelieving jews were CAST OUT of the tree
As will those who dont continue in FAITH in CHRIST
You gonna try and tell me that those jews who were cast out
are still okay
JUST because you wanna beleive the so called gentiles who dont continue will be cast out .
IF ONE IS CAST OUT , THEY CAST OUT .
JOHN wrote a lovely reminder too .
IF that which ye have HEARD from the beginning shall remiain IN YOU
THEN YE SHALL CONTINUE IN .............

The apostles of Jesus didn't believe they were responsible for continuing their salvific state.

They knew they did not work to stay saved in Christ. They walked with Jesus and heard his sermons. They knew they were eternally secure in him and that nothing would change that.

No one would take them from the hands of ZJesus. God gave them to Jesus. And they knew Jesus would lose not one. Just as he said.

I pray no one ever thinks they have to labor to remain in Jesus. That they have to worry they can do something that will cause them to lose their salvation because God snatched it away.

That isn't the good news.

That's the lie of the enemy.

why would we want to take faith off God and put faith in self.

if this gives you confidence. feel free

to the rest of us. we will continue to trust God. knowing we will fail. But he is our savior..

they think they must save themselves

Jesus did not say it is me plus you

he said it is me or you
I learned a long time ago. When I meet someone who makes Jesus in their image and likeness,we have nothing in common.

Hopefully,there aren't that many anti-gospel advocates here.

There's a big difference.
You just haven't looked into it.

OSAS means that a person could sin all he wants to after having become a believer because he somehow thinks that once a person is saved they could never lose that salvation.

If this were true,,,
no warnings in the NT would have been necessary.
You teach Faith + Works = Salvation, and the Bible teaches Saving Faith has Works.
ETERNAL SECURITY teaches that a person is secure in Christ for as long as he REMAINS in Christ.
If your works are required, you are NOT secure.

What does it mean to you to "remain in Christ"? How do you do that?

Much love!
