Again, I showed from Rom 4:11 that circumcision was a seal and that seal would be broken (circumcision made uncircumcision) if the Jews would not obey (Rom 2:25). The Jews thought that since they were descendants of Abraham that meant unconditional, automatic salvation for them, that God must...

Here is the core error of your belief system in that your are trying to substitute faith onlyism for what the Bible teaches about obedience. ---Obedience to Christ is how one is saved....Paul said in Rom 6:16 "obedience unto righteousness" hence no obedience to God leaves one UNRIGHTEOUS and...

OSAS falsely claims salvation is unconditional, that is, salvation cannot be lost under any circumstance as the Bsptist preachrrs I quoted have shown. Since salvation is conditional upon an obedient faith, then one must CONDITIONALLY remain faithful to God for falling from faith one no longer...

Yet they cannot show the verse that says the faithless will be saved. Rom 5:2 faith gives access to grace, so if they claim they can be saved faithless then they can be saved graceless also.

Again, being saved does not take away the free will for clearly the Christian can choose to turn to live in sin again... "For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the...

If OSAS were true, and salvation were completely totally UNCONDITIONAL then what those Baptist preachers I quoted would be 100% accurate and this is why OSAS is a very vile, false teaching. Since being saved does not cause loss of free will, then those who choose to believe today can turn and...

Free will is choosing between two or more options, therefore people have the free will to choose to whom/what they will enslave themselves to. Hence being in a saved state does not diminish a person's free will as to who/what they will choose to serve.....anyone, saved or not, can choose at...

If salvation were truly unconditional as OSAS claims then what those two Baptist preachers said would be 100% correct and accurate. Yet the idea of Baptist preacher Bill Foster claiming he could kill his wife and mother and debauch thousands of women and yet still be saved is so vile that it...

Read the words of the proponents of this false teaching: Sam Morris, a Baptist preacher in Stamford, Texas wrote a little tract explaining that all the sins one may commit cannot harm the soul or cause the person to be lost. Look at the quote: “We take the position that a Christian's sins do...

Obedience to God is not a work of merit, thus your faith onlyism dies right here for obedience to God merits nothing. Lk 17:7-10. I see the faith onlyists inability to provide one NT gospel example of God saving those who will not, have not obeyed His will.

https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=63650 "Two influential members of Israel's Knesset have introduced a bill to outlaw teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Israel and sentence violators to prison."

You have not shown how salvation can be attained apart from obedience to God's will, that is, shown how one can be saved by being disobedient to God. Faith only is disobedience to God's will. I have NEVER said salvation can be attained by works of merit but by obedience and obedience and...

It has been shown that salvation is conditional upon having faith. My point was that NT faith that saves is a faith that obeys the will of God. What has not been shown is how a faith void of obedience, that is, how disobedience to God's will saves. Hence faith alone, that being, faith void of...

Sure...we'll see where obedience gets people and where disobedience gets people.

--- Eph 2:8-9 does NOT say "no works of any kind", you have added your ideas to that verse. Again, the Bible DOES NOT CONTRADICT itself therefore when verses as Rom 6:16-18; Heb 5:9; Acts 2:38; etc require/command obedience then no verse can then eliminate obedience else that is a pure...
