amazing what some people can do with google rofl.....................
Been doing that for more than 4 decades every morning 4 am and before I go to bed at night and pray throughout the day and meditate on His word hidden in my heart from memorization..No, it’s amazing what men can do with the sword of the Spirit:
Psalm 1:2-3 KJV
[2] But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. [3] And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Peter was just like us.Have a HUGE problem to solve when it comes to the Apostle and leader of the Church Peter.
1- he denied Jesus 3 times
2- he ran from those who said he knew Jesus denying his relationship with Jesus
3- he lived a hypocritical life with the Jews and Gentiles after Pentecost
4- Paul confronts him to his face for being a hypocrite
5- Peter was a stumbling block for the weaker brother Barnabas and caused him to fall into sin as a hypocrite
6- Peter forced the gentiles with him to participate in his hypocrisy
See Galatians 2 for the details.
So according to their heretical teaching the Apostle Peter was not saved, lost his salvation and if he died was going to hell before Paul confronted Him with his sin.
hope this helps !!!
Agreed !Peter was just like us.
One is saved by faith after Acts 2:38.
Peter denied Jesus before Acts 2:38.
He stood tall after Acts 2.... after receiving the Holy Ghost.
He was only momentarily hypocritical in Gal 2, since his recent lifestyle was gentile-like.
Peter was given the keys by Jesus in Matt 16, and Jesus made the right call..... Peter used them to open the door to baptismal salvation in Acts 2(Jews), Acts 8(Samaritans) and Acts 10(Gentiles).
Everything has to be interpreted. Do you really think they speak English in Glory?God calls men to OBEY, not to interpret.
Peter put his foot in His mouth many times prior to being born again on the day of Pentecost ... and then less afterwards.Have a HUGE problem to solve when it comes to the Apostle and leader of the Church Peter.

Amen He saves us and keeps us saved as we read in John 10 giving us Eternal Life and no one can remove us from Him. Paul says the same thing in Romans 8:31-39There are only five reasons , or letters , that can save anyone .
And if our faith is not in Him then we have deceieved ourselves .

Absolutely. But we are not talking about those who do NOT have the Son. And no matter how many Scriptures you think contradict the plain words of Christ, Scripture does not contradict itself. We must also reconcile what is not plain with the plain words of Christ. And here are some more words of Christ:Do you agree with this statement?1Jn_5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

We must also reconcile what is not plain with the plain words of Christ. And here are some more words of Christ:
Jesus said unto her, I am The Resurrection, and The Life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? (John 11:25,26)
Just this one passage tells us that those who believe in Christ have eternal life, and that cannot be reversed.
Not sure as to what you mean by the question. Can you elaborate , thanks !But what did Peter not do?
Everything has to be interpreted. Do you really think they speak English in Glory?
It sure does.What language do you think they speak?
Everything does not have to be interpreted.
Are you going to tell me that “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved” needs interpretation?
Or, “love your neighbor as yourself” needs interpretation?
The only thing that needs interpretating is an unknown language. The Bible has been interpreted into many languages; if you understand the language no interpretation is needed.
The excuse of “interpretation” are for those who are in the flesh and cannot submit to what is plainly written in the Bible in my estimation.
Also, what one holds as a definition of "belief in Christ" can be a source of division.I do not believe in OSAS nor do I believe it is easy to lose your salvation.
"And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; leave Me, you who practice lawlessness."
This is one of the reasons I started the thread asking if a new denomination was forming.
I know that there are Christian that do not buy into biblical morals and or believe you can do what you want as long as you believe in Christ...splitting hairs on salvation.
"Why do you call me Lord, Lord, yet don't do what I say?" There is just too many scriptures warning Christians of Hell and too many sins listed that indicate the sins that will prevent you from inheriting the Kingdom of Heaven, for OSAS to be true. This is all over the New Testament. There is no scripture that even remotely suggest that you can do whatever you want as long as you believe in Christ.
The better debate is what can prevent a Christian from going to Heaven? It is actually a good debate and informative...
and little bit important.
Agreed !Also, what one holds as a definition of "belief in Christ" can be a source of division.
The language spoken in Heaven would probably be so holy as to burn our ears up. In this day and age "love thy neighbor as thyself" can indeed be interpreted in many different ways, especially by folks who don't know the rest of the Bible. We actually have to learn from the Bible how to love in a manner that is pleasing to God. If the Bible is so succinct and unnecessary of interpretation, then why are there 3/4 million words in it? Just to occupy our time and entertain us?What language do you think they speak?
