How can Paul or any other human being know if those who profess to believe in Christ have been born again?
Why would paul tell them that that if they become entangled again (2nd time)

That they have fallen from grace... can an unbeliever fall from grace?


If your entangled under the law and then you accept Christ and are no longer entangled.... then to be entangled again wouldnt that mean you went back under the law

Go by what paul says

Paul has no way of knowing who and who has not been born again! Only the Lord knows those who are eternally His.

John 10:14 (KJV) I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

John 10:27-28 (KJV) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

The knowledge the Lord has of His own is personal, intimate and foundational to His mission. He knows them before they know Him, calls them friends, and shares His Father’s business with them. This mutual knowledge is part of the very definition of eternal life in His relationship with believers. Both Father and Son share complete knowledge of those whom the Father has given to the Son, that is not accessible to anybody else.

Joh 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.

Because Paul has no way of knowing their heart, and whether or not they have been born again.

OSAS, a Satanic trap! A license to sin!
If those who believe osas had no knowledge of osas or no osas and came upon this verse they would of said... hey these people if they go back into bondage again will have fallen from grace.. they wouldnt believe osas but osas teachers got to them first as they did to me.... everyone who reads this knows what fallen from grace means..everyone

Then paul would not tell them to standfast in the liberty which has made us free and if they didnt they would fall from grace and Christ would Become of no effect to them....

If this is true then no one can call anyone a brother in Christ cause they cant know if thats true or not...... maybe your pastor isnt saved and you shouldnt listen to him since he might not be....maybe..maybe paul isnt saved either... maybe none of the writers in the bible are we cant know... its for certain that paul believes they are saved by what he says to them...

We can know them by their fruits cant we

Why wouldn't Paul tell them to standfast in the liberty that the doctrine of Christ affords whosoever is born again? It is Christ who sets us free, and the law brings us back into bondage. Not knowing who is and who is not born again, it is only logical for Paul to warn them and us. Paul is after all seeking to build the spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven through preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God through Christ.

Why can we not call one another who professes to believe in Christ a brother or sister? We certainly don't want to assume anyone who professes to believe in Christ has not been born again. We are not the judge. Yes, we can know THEM by their fruits, but even knowing them who profess to believe in Christ, we have no way of knowing who has been born again. Don't you think it's better to assume they have been born again, knowing that Christ alone judges the heart?

OSAS is nonsense!
