What you post above is an excuse offered by the pro-OSAS crowd but it is not logical. A never saved person is an already fallen person and an already fallen person cannot fall...for he is already fallen!! How can an already fallen person fall into condemnation when already is in...

Man by his own volition chooses to have faith and man by that same volition can choose to cast aside his faith, Col 1:23; 1 Tim 4:1; 1 Tim 6:10

Those of the faith only persuasion try to find ways for a person to be righteous/just before God without that person having to do any work at all, including the idea that no obedience is necessary. So they invented the idea that Christ's righteousuness is unconditionally transferred/imputed to...

Cornelius a good man but lost for He never heard the gospel of Christ. He was told to send for Peter who taught him the gospel. Cornelius would have to 'worketh righteousness" (v35) in order to be accepted with God and Peter's sermon here in Acts 10 (as it did in Acts 2) commanded water...

Righteous is having the quality of being right, just. Righteousness then would be in a right, just standard with God, how? By obeying God's will. Therefore when God commands repentance and baptism for the remission of sins and you obey God by repenting and being baptized then you would be...

Hi Phil 2:12-13 "Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." Their having "always obeyed"...

I'm not sure what you mean by "act of God" or "One Who works it" but my point is that those who obey God's commands (repent and be baptized) are the ones who are working God's righteousness therefore it can be said God is working in them for they are obeying God's commands. On the other hand...

This means, for example, when God commands man to repent and be baptized for remission of sins (justified) (Acts 2:38), obedience by repenting and submitting to baptism is doing God's righteousness since it's God's command. Therefore repenting and being baptized is not one doing his own...

What you post above describes the reason why the Jews were lost..... Rom 10:3 "For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God." ---the Jews were following their own traditions...

Heb 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Rom 2:8.9 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of...

You are ridiculously implying that one can refuse to hear Christ, refuse to believe Christ yet receive everlasting life anyway. Because hearing and believing are not imperative commands in this verse does not in anyway mean they are unnecessary in obtaining everlasting life. Making both...

Rom 5:18 (a) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; (b) even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many...

Rom 4:15 ......for where no law is, there is no transgression. 1 Jn 3:4 sin is the transgression of the law. Rom 7:8-9 For without the law sin was dead. For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. How the BIble defines what sin in the above...

Jn 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. This verse, not me, made hearing and believing conditions in order to have everlasting life. It's...

There is an obvious fatal flaw in their interpretation. They have no problem will "all" being UNconditionally made sinners in Adam for that fits their wrong theology but they do have a problem with the same "all" being made UNconditionally righteous. What is true about Adam is true about...

If you are going to read into the text that all are UNCODNITIONALLY made sinners in Adam, then it is EQUALLY true that all will be UNCONDITIONALLY be made righteous in Christ and you are pushing Universalism. There were laws in place from Adam til Moses and people of their own free will broke...

rom 5:12 ...for that all have sinned: shows personal culpability in sinning not how one was unconditionally passively born. We are sinners for we follow in the steps of Adam. Adam was not created a sinner, but was created innocent. Adam had a law to follow but chose to disobey it and THEN he...

Some reject the fact that free gifts, as grace, can come with conditions and one must meet the condition and continue to meet the condition in order to have the free gift.... Jn 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting...

The OP stated: "...there is "no condemnation" for those in Christ (Ro 8:1), but why the sinning Christian (the one who doesn't walk in God's righteousness by faith) is "condemned" (Ro 14:23) : remaining "in Christ" requires obeying God's commands.." ..and I stated as much. My point is that...
