Most of the time when people write a "book" like you did in this comment I just ignore the whole thing because it's just too lengthy and I know the person isn't really interested in my replies because they really aren't looking for the truth. The Holy Spirit doesn't come "into the hearts of...

I quote scripture to back everything I say. We are talking about the simple gospel of salvation, which was simple enough for me to understand when I was 8 years old. I am now 57, and my understanding of the gospel of salvation is the same as it was when I was saved. If you doubt my...

Want the truth, if you listen to this 25 minute audio message you'll have it. http://www.biblelineministries.org/av/audioarchive/ausearch.php3?action=full&mainkey=blm20100921i.mp3&typed=Law+and+grace

I know the truth, and this quote below is not truth of scripture! I don't have to "be around awhile" to know the statement is a false gospel, doesn't matter who says it. - bbyrd009 said....... "Belief in Jesus will not save you; following Christ will, imo. Works are needed, regardless of what...

Luke 18:9-14 9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that...

Don't use scripture out of context to support a false gospel.

Since I see you have (again) used Romans 12:1 to make your point of how to be saved, I see no need to read any of these references you've included because Romans 12:1 is written to believers about their "reasonable service" and has nothing to do with receiving eternal life. I'm sorry but you...

Do you ever read scripture? Where are these "works" judged? Do you know? They will be judged at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Do you know who will be there? Only believers! No unbelievers will be there. The lost will be judged at the White Throne Judgment.

I agree we must acknowledge our state of depravation, but to think we can "turn from evil and do good" is not to understand. God said we can't do good Romans 3:10-11. If we are trying to "do good" in order to be justified, that's the same as trying to keep the law. We are justified by faith...

This is something I recently wrote that shows my understanding of "repent" as in the context of justification. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Can a lost person repent, but still be lost? Yes! If the repentance was not related to faith in...

Yep, because I believe what God's Word says! All I have said is what is true from scripture. Your understanding of "repent" is not biblical, because you think it means "turn from sin". The mentality of turning from sin is the mentality of keeping the law to be justified by self righteousness...

The new creature is not trying to be saved, the new creature has been saved. Colossians 1:12-14 12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into...

Please take a moment and read the scripture passage no matter how many times you have read it before. Romans 3:19-22 19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20...

With respect, that is the popular thought, but it isn't scripture truth. God says eternal life is freely given by His grace through faith in Christ, not by our feet matching our position. If that were the case, none would be saved. We have to be perfect, and we can't even be "good". Grace is...

If you or anyone on here is saved, it's because at some point in life they trusted completely in the sacrifice Jesus made for them through His death, burial, and resurrection. If you say you have done that, I praise God for it! It's very hard to recognize it through the reading of your posts...

My comments have been toward how we become this new creature, not how we walk in the flesh. We have to come to Christ in faith before there is any change in us by the Holy Spirit.

No one has ever been saved without receiving His righteousness by faith. To trust in our own righteousness is to spend eternity in hell. Our faith must be that Jesus Christ paid our sin debt on the cross, and delivered us from the power of darkness by His blood. To trust our own works of...

If we just "faith-it", we will have trusted His grace, rather than our walk. Man's dilemma is this......we have no righteousness, but demands perfect righteousness. God demands His children be without sin, just as perfect as He is in order for Him to justly grant eternal life with Him. That...

To think receiving eternal life is more than faith alone is exactly what you need to "repent" of. Jesus said it was as simple as taking a drink of water. John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him...

My outlook as well. I can do nothing He doesn't give me the power to do. I am nothing He doesn't enable to be. I know nothing He doesn't give me the discernment to understand. I depend on Him for all my needs.
