    Reader Poll - Bible Reading - BEFORE or AFTER you became a Christian?

    Now I do remember trying to read the Bible before I became a Christian (but I did not consistently read it) and a lot of what I read just seemed to go right over my head. It really amazed me how after I became a Christian it's like a light came on and all of the sudden, I was understanding many...

    ONCE….ONCE….(OSAS)….ONCE!!!

    In Ephesians 2:8, the verb "saved" is considered a perfect tense in the Greek, which means it refers to a completed action in the past, signifying you have been saved through faith. (justified) We have been saved from the PENALTY of sin in the past with ongoing present results. The perfect tense...

    ONCE….ONCE….(OSAS)….ONCE!!!

    Amen! Matthew 26:31 - Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.” So, the 11 remaining disciples at the time...

    ONCE….ONCE….(OSAS)….ONCE!!!

    Amen! Jesus may have tasted death, but He did not remain dead. Jesus temporarily died physically but on the third day He rose again from the dead. There is a big difference between tasting death and remaining dead. In regard to "tasted" the heavenly gift, the good word of God and the powers of...

    ONCE….ONCE….(OSAS)….ONCE!!!

    Jesus never knew these many people in Matthew 7:22-23 which means they were never saved. 2 Peter 2:20 is often misinterpreted by eternal IN-securists. Those who are truly born of God through previous promises may become partakers of the divine nature. They have been transformed from pigs and...

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    Luke 18:9 - Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous,  and despised others; 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not...

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    So, living the Christian life is not about following Jesus, according to you? It's all summed up in loving God and loving others as ourselves. We deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him. We keep (guard, observe, watch over) His commandments, we practice righteousness and not sin, we...

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    The Bible makes it clear in many passages of scripture that man is saved through belief/faith - "apart from additions or modifications." (John 1:12; 3:15,16,18,36; 5:24; 6:29,40,47; 11:25,26; Acts 10:43; 13:39; 15:7-9; 16:31; 26:18; Romans 1:16; 3:24-28; 4:5-6; 5:1-2; 10:4; 1 Corinthians 1:21...

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    I said IN NAME ONLY. Not a genuine believer but a make believer. Not merely specific works of the law but works in general. (Romans 4:2-6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5 2 Timothy 1:9) I never said otherwise. Ephesians 2:10 - We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto/for good works...

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    So now you agree? Progress. Jesus was not wrong. Jesus said believed for a while, but He did not say they were saved for a while. I already thoroughly covered this in post #118. Did you actually read everything I said or just skim over it? Not all belief is the same. BELIEF that is firmly...

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    IF confirms that faith was firmly rooted and established in the hope of the gospel to begin with, and they really have been reconciled. Again, it makes sense that Paul would speak this way because he is addressing groups of people who all "profess" to be Christians without being able to...
