You said God's “ goodness” is Doing His Will. Doing so intentionally is work. Doing so simply because it is right is grace.Prove it. OSASers love to make false accusations.

You are pushing works, not grace through faith.
Quote what I said. I think you have the wrong person.You said God's “ goodness” is Doing His Will. Doing so intentionally is work. Doing so simply because it is right is grace.
If that is the case, as a BIG-TIME unapologetic OSAS Guy......I am a Christian..... a “ Christian” is anybody that has “ Christ IN
them”.......and Christ is formed in one’s Heart by Faith.....
I am a OSAS Guy simply because Jesus was.....Jesus said that if we put our Faith in Him, we are ALREADY SAVED and shall NEVER come under Condemnation.....for the “ dim- bulbs in the Crowd—- NEVER means NEVER......
Nobody yet has even tried to argue about that verse...it is Iron - Clad....it can’t be debated by any Sane person....especially somebody with the Holy Spirit in them....
God's “ goodness” is Doing His Will.....what would that “ WILL” be? “ To Believe in the One that He sent” ....

There is nothing wrong with doing God's will "intentionally".You said God's “ goodness” is Doing His Will. Doing so intentionally is work.
Christianity is a religion of morals.
In a nutshell, this is where you go off the rails.....Christianity is NOT a “religion”.....If the day ever arrives that you understand the difference between Religion and Christianity, you will have come a long way. Until then? You have not even arrived to the “ Starting Gate” Of Christianity.....

In verse 20 it says that they "stand by faith".Sorry, I misread. But you did clearly say Written to Christians:
Romans 11:22 (NKJV)
22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.
Without reading the whole chapter that verse is clearly not talking about born-again believers.
There is nothing wrong with doing God's will "intentionally".
To try to say otherwise is to engage in absurdity.
We are not obligated to walk after the flesh (Romans 8:12-13); and we do not have to fail at living a holy, Christian life (Jude 1:24, 2 Peter 1:10, 1 John 2:10).If born again, it is part of our new heart and mind to do God's will, even though we fail continually as Paul said.
not necessarily. Cults stand by faith.In verse 20 it says that they "stand by faith".
These are not born again believers?
It truly is a relationship; but religion is not entirely absent from its precepts.Christianity by definition is a religion. The distinction is when it is practice as a philosophy or it becomes part of our being.
Romans 1:7 (NKJV)Sorry, I misread. But you did clearly say Written to Christians:
Romans 11:22 (NKJV)
22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

Horses?not necessarily. Colts stand by faith.
Yes, and I find that the very person who posted the OP reveals himself by what he does not say...or, at least, what he used to not say. Now what he says reveals him as a Tare.
In that he teaches that repentance is not really needed for salvation...that you can be a worker / doer of iniquity and still go to heaven...the Bible is clear that this is not the case.
He used to preach what I thought was some pretty good stuff...but what he didn't say makes it clear what he really believes...that it does not matter if we sin...perhaps that God is even pleased with our sins....or at the very least pleased with us as sinners.
