Wow! Then how do OSASers here tell lie after lie? Oh that's right, they can NEVER lose their salvation, according to them and Satan.
Because they skip to Justification as all of Salvation
But..regeneration is left out....because it's Trusting Jesus that we are born from above.
Not trusting a belief Systen... [and it's what you start with that you finish with]
It's Jesus that is the beginning and the end...
Not a belief System- the interpretation of scripture through Osas.
So you can truly see what they believe by what they come back to. AND IT IS BELIEF THAT DETERMINES OUR BEHAVIOR.
So as a Baptist....This is what was said in my day...Believe Jesus died for your sins and rose and you are saved.[saved meaning heaven when you physically die]
But there was nothing mentioned about trusting Jesus...
And I am not saying that some OSASers can't stumble upon this in some way. But many I am sure have not, Because you can see in the way they answer questions. And THE ATTITUDE of boast.
MORE ABOUT I HAVE THE CORRECT DOCTRINE....THAN I AM TRUSTING JESUS.
THERE IS NO BOASTING IN CHRIST
But the Gosple message is the availability of the Kingdom ...life now in it...through trusting Jesus. We can live basically in this physical world but from the Spiritual kingdom.
We pray His kingdom come and will be done on earth as it is in heaven ....Where what God wants done is done.
That like faith...we move without seeing FOR
without faith it is impossible to please God...ABRAHAM MAY HAVE NOT KNOWN EVERYTHING BUT HE BELIEVED GOD WOULD BRING IT THROUGH.......THEREFORE HE MOVED IN FAITH
Remember God said to Abraham that He is His great reward....
THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVED HAPPEN....
WHEN GOD TOLD HIM TO WALK BEFORE HIM BLAMESLESS AND HE WOULD MAKE A COVENANT WITH HIM......THAT AS HE WALKED GOD WOULD DEAL WITH HIS SHORT COMINGS..HE WOULD PICK HIM UP
IF HE FELL. AND THIS IS TO ME is one aspect of THE LOVE OF GOD IN CHRIST.
SO ABRAHAM HAD TO WALK BLAMELESS BEFORE GOD, AND GOD WOULD MAKE A COV WITH HIM......SO THEN HOW DO you think WE receive ABRAHAMS COVENANT Blessings?
My thought is: We walk in the footsteps of Jesus.
Now Abraham, what was it that was credited for righteousness? Was it a belief with intent to follow...or He just believed God would do it all without His obedience to Him?
