    What is "OSAS"?

    Yet they cannot show the verse that says the faithless will be saved. Rom 5:2 faith gives access to grace, so if they claim they can be saved faithless then they can be saved graceless also.

    What is "OSAS"?

    Again, being saved does not take away the free will for clearly the Christian can choose to turn to live in sin again... "For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the...

    What is "OSAS"?

    If OSAS were true, and salvation were completely totally UNCONDITIONAL then what those Baptist preachers I quoted would be 100% accurate and this is why OSAS is a very vile, false teaching. Since being saved does not cause loss of free will, then those who choose to believe today can turn and...

    What is "OSAS"?

    Free will is choosing between two or more options, therefore people have the free will to choose to whom/what they will enslave themselves to. Hence being in a saved state does not diminish a person's free will as to who/what they will choose to serve.....anyone, saved or not, can choose at...

    What is "OSAS"?

    If salvation were truly unconditional as OSAS claims then what those two Baptist preachers said would be 100% correct and accurate. Yet the idea of Baptist preacher Bill Foster claiming he could kill his wife and mother and debauch thousands of women and yet still be saved is so vile that it...

    What is "OSAS"?

    Read the words of the proponents of this false teaching: Sam Morris, a Baptist preacher in Stamford, Texas wrote a little tract explaining that all the sins one may commit cannot harm the soul or cause the person to be lost. Look at the quote: “We take the position that a Christian's sins do...

    Is the Gift of Salvation nullified by the consequences of refusal?

    Obedience to God is not a work of merit, thus your faith onlyism dies right here for obedience to God merits nothing. Lk 17:7-10. I see the faith onlyists inability to provide one NT gospel example of God saving those who will not, have not obeyed His will.

    Israel's Plan to Ban the Gospel

    https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=63650 "Two influential members of Israel's Knesset have introduced a bill to outlaw teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Israel and sentence violators to prison."

    Is the Gift of Salvation nullified by the consequences of refusal?

    You have not shown how salvation can be attained apart from obedience to God's will, that is, shown how one can be saved by being disobedient to God. Faith only is disobedience to God's will. I have NEVER said salvation can be attained by works of merit but by obedience and obedience and...

    Is the Gift of Salvation nullified by the consequences of refusal?

    It has been shown that salvation is conditional upon having faith. My point was that NT faith that saves is a faith that obeys the will of God. What has not been shown is how a faith void of obedience, that is, how disobedience to God's will saves. Hence faith alone, that being, faith void of...

    Is the Gift of Salvation nullified by the consequences of refusal?

    Sure...we'll see where obedience gets people and where disobedience gets people.

    Is the Gift of Salvation nullified by the consequences of refusal?

    --- Eph 2:8-9 does NOT say "no works of any kind", you have added your ideas to that verse. Again, the Bible DOES NOT CONTRADICT itself therefore when verses as Rom 6:16-18; Heb 5:9; Acts 2:38; etc require/command obedience then no verse can then eliminate obedience else that is a pure...

    Is the Gift of Salvation nullified by the consequences of refusal?

    Paul does not contradict himself as you are trying to make him. Paul in Rom 6:16-18 clearly shows that obedience to God' "obey from the heart" is what justifies. Therefore Eph 2:8-9 does not contradict the Rom 6:16-18 and many other verses that require obedience to be justified/saved. The...

    Is the Gift of Salvation nullified by the consequences of refusal?

    Not one verse anywhere in the NT teaches that failh alone, that is, faith apart from obedience to God, saves...not one verse. For there is no salvation apart from obedience to God's will. Paul wrote "obedience unto righteousness" Rom 6:16 meaning all the disobedient, unrighteous will be lost.

    Is the Gift of Salvation nullified by the consequences of refusal?

    You posted yourself that faith was a condition. I simply pointed out that obedience to God is part of NT faith meaning salvation is impossible apart from obedience to God's will for disobedience / sin / unrighteousness saves no one.

    Is the Gift of Salvation nullified by the consequences of refusal?

    By your last sentence you admit salvation has a condition....faith. NT faith includes obedience to God's will else that faith is dead and cannot save.

    Is the Gift of Salvation nullified by the consequences of refusal?

    It is not uncommon or unusual that free gifts come with necessary conditions, such as the free gift of salvation which comes with obedience to God being the necesary condition to receiving that free gift. If salvation were completely unconditional then all men universally would be saved without...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    I's been shown you but you continue to take verses out of context and apply your theology, that is why you get rare responses from me now. Jn 15:16 as explained many times, Jesus is IN CONTEXT is speaking to those He chose to the office of an Apostle and has nothing to do with how men are...

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    Look again!!!!! I did not "blow past" Psalms 58:3 but dealt with it head on, even made a post with a break down of the verse that clearly show the figurative language and the error one gets into by pressing for literal language and showed it does not in anyway teach original sin. You try and...

    The thief on the cross misconceptions

    The website "Got Questions" is not the Bible and that website contains many false ideas. I would advise people to stay away from it. ---In Acts 2:38, water baptism is FOR the remission of sins not because one is already saved. This is the same baptism Peter says saves in 1 Pet 3:21. ---one...
