    Renewable Salvation

    Yes, it is. Salvation is only secured forever at the end of this life, and only those that obey Him will, receive it. Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto...

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    If you mean times of refreshing from the Lord, then you are correct, when we first new His freshness in this life. Whether as a babe or as a born again babe in Christ. Benjamin was not in Christ, nor was Christ in him, nor was any other son of Jacob, nor Isaac, nor Abraham. The promised seed...

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    You quoted Isaiah 28:13: But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. You did so as a proof text that there were...

    Renewable Salvation

    Justifying ourselves is by faith alone, without doing the righteousness of God. The OSAS gospel of justifying ourselves by faith alone is false. No Scripture says we are saved by grace through faith alone. Faith without works of righteousness is dead. No doing works of righteousness shows not...

    Renewable Salvation

    Sinning. And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Jesus is not a heretic.

    Renewable Salvation

    We work because of grace. No work without grace is of God, and no grace without works of faith is from God. The OSAS gospel is false, friend. No Scripture says we are saved by grace through faith alone. Grace and faith alone is dead without works. The grace and faith alone without works is...

    Renewable Salvation

    Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. It's amazing the way some people aren't even hearers of the word, much less...

    Renewable Salvation

    There is no grace of God in the works of our own righteousness. The grace of God is only for help in doing the works of God's righteousness by faith. People that demonize all works, and make no difference between man's righteousness and God's, is because they do no righteousness themselves, and...

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    People choose to have faith alone, and it's all they have: their own dead faith alone. And then they preach it as gospel and salvation for themselves

    Renewable Salvation

    True. Our salvation can be secured in the life to end in one way only: to do the good work of adding to our faith those things that make our salvation sure, and never falling into temptation and sin: And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And...

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    Yes. You do. The word revealed to them, is them already in this world, and weaned from their mother's milk. Not before the world began with the Word and with God. (Isaiah 11) Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and...

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    The only reason you say this, brother Scott, is because you claim to have been given a new revelation of God in the 3rd heaven, that is not confirmed by Scripture, and I have shown is contradicted by certain Scripture. Your own efforts to try and uphold your new revelation as true from the...

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    I agree. True godly living is the difference between professing only and being true. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. Sorry, but this is a seriously flawed analogy. The Sabbath is made by the Scriptures. The Scriptures are not the Sabbath. The...

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    True, but even the Holy Spirit can talk plainly. He proves it in all of Scripture. It's one thing to speak a mystery in plain language, and another to speak mysteriously. ;)

    The answer of hell and its origins

    If I fall off the cliff, and want to climb it again, then I certainly won't be seeking out those hoping and waiting for others to fall, because they refuse to climb the cliff in the first place. Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean...

    Renewable Salvation

    Another Scripture, where some mystery about it is revealed in the context of renewable salvation, and proves it is not possible for salvation to be renewed for some: For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. The salvation...

    Renewable Salvation

    It is only impossible to do so, when we wilfully refuse to do so. You have the correct reading, that there are those who cannot renew their old sins to repentance again, because God is not drawing them to do so. Wilfully here must mean without any desire to repent. Paul would not be praying...

    Renewable Salvation

    You're talking about returning to sin without repentance. There remains no more sacrifice for unrepentant sin. Wilfully would then mean, not just willingly sinning, but a willfulness that refuses to repent. A purposed, deliberate, unrepentant return to the old man of sin. I've known past...

    Renewable Salvation

    "This is one of the best explanations I've ever read concerning faith alone! Well done!" While everyone is gushing over being saved by their own faith alone, will anyone quote the Scripture of being saved by our faith alone? The only Scripture I read of having faith alone, is being dead...

    Renewable Salvation

    Renewable salvation, which some call Christian restoration theology, is also proven by a common Scripture than many argue over: For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins. Just as needing Christ formed again in us...
