Are you 'working' for your free gift ?
All I know is once I die then I will find out if I will be saved.
Until then I will continue to do good deeds, repent for my sins and follow in Christ's footsteps.

Sounds like you don't FULLY trust Christs work at the cross.All I know is once I die then I will find out if I will be saved.

I do not find a teaching or reasoning for your charge.Beware of false beliefs and those that preach them. OSAS is false.
Sounds like you don't FULLY trust Christs work at the cross.
So to be sure you'll just add a bit of what you do to what Christ did to make sure you enter Heaven

Works BECAUSE you ARE saved and NOT to remain or be savedI don't understand your objection to that.
You've admitted that you do good works and repent.
Take the log out of own eye my friend as I'm only doing exactly what you do.
Perhaps you would prefer if I do bad deeds, not repent and not follow in Christs footsteps.
That would be nonsense.
Thats not what you do.
I don't care what you think.
I choose to do good works, follow in Christs footsteps and repent.
I know you do the same things so stop being a hypocrite.
Are you saved?
11And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
1 John 5:11-13
@Armour of God perhaps you are getting justification by faith and discipleship or sanctification mixed up. We are justified by our faith in Christ. (There's an old saying explaining about being justified...it's as if you have never sinned.)
Now sanctification is the process by which we become more Christ-like in our lives. The Holy Spirit helps us in this.
1Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, Romans 5:1-2
@Armour of God You should take a look at this page about how Jesus Christ is the propitiation for our sins. Propitiation refers to God's wrath having been satisfied by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Take the TREE out of your eye.
..
Why do you refuse to do ANIMAL SACRIFICES as commanded by GOD/Jesus in the Bible ?
Good deeds/works are BECAUSE you ARE SAVED & HS sealed and NOT to remain saved & HS sealed as you appear to believe.This is in reply to me saying I do good deeds, repent and follow in Christs footsteps.
Don't you do the same?
Good deeds/works are BECAUSE you ARE SAVED & HS sealed and NOT to remain saved & HS sealed as you appear to believe.
Whatever 'works' I do are as a THANKYOU to Christ for what He did and not a maintenance contract.Do you do good deeds, repent and follow in Christs footsteps?
Says the person who REJECTS that the pre-existent Christ was involved in the writing of the OTSo you do the same as well.
Therefore stop being a hypocrite.
Whatever 'works' I do are as a THANKYOU to Christ for what He did and not a maintenance contract.
I am not a LEGALIST who believes performance is a REQUIREMENT to remain saved & HS sealed.
and if you STOP doing going deeds & your ONLY repent is from the sin of DISbelief, do you believe you remain eternally saved ?You do good deeds and repent.
I do exactly the same.
Your objecting to nothing as far as I can see.
and if you STOP doing going deeds & your ONLY repent is from the sin of DISbelief, do you believe you remain eternally saved ?

2 easy questions, see if you can answer a simple YES or NO to both.I'm not talking about what I believe.
I'm talking about what I do. My actions
Would you prefer if I did bad deeds and not repent?
I believe I will be saved when I die.
Already in heaven?Why do you and others speak in the passed tense, as if your already in heaven.
Because you don’t understand, Crucified WITH Christ meaning.Salvation only happens after we die, it's a future event. So I can't understand how you guys speak as if it's already happened.
The Lord came Teaching Truths, Offerings, Promises.I notice the bible used this passed tense of the word as well.
I read that the Greek word of save can be used in passed, present or future tense. Maybe thats where the confusion lies.
It’s a debate/ discussion…This whole argument is nonsensical
We all have faith
We all do good deeds
We all repent
We're all baptised
We all follow in Christs footsteps
It's a debate about nothing![]()
