    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Amen. If anyone actually reads the scriptures for themselves, it's easy to see that there is no where that the bible teaches OSAS. Jesus actually warned His disciples about remaining in Him. “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    These are the words of Jesus Christ. Again, this same John plainly and clearly teaches us how to remain in Christ. Here is how this same Apostle John instructs us to remain in Christ - Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Thank you for seeing the point I was making... A false convert was never in Christ. Now that we have that point out of the way, there is no need to bring it up again since we both agree, My point that I am making is about people who are "in Christ", and then they are no longer in Christ...

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    Please remember that the Resurrection and Rapture occur at the coming of the Lord. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 1 Thessalonians 4:15 Also the Resurrection of the...

    Is anyone else a Seer?

    The scripture teaches Jesus is God (God the Son) who created all things and became flesh. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    How does a "false convert" remain in Christ? You are dangerously applying your own "understanding" to the words of Christ. I find this to be the case more and more, people just making up their own doctrine rather than reading and believing the words of truth and applying them to their life...

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    Brother, faith comes when we hear the Gospel; the word of God. Those who believe and confess Jesus as their Lord are saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:10

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    On the one hand yes, I agree, we don't need to set dates about a certain day, but keep watching and praying as we see the Day drawing nearer. On the other hand, by saying no man knows the day or hour, Jesus is indicating to His disciples, who understood Jewish idiomatic language that He was...

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    Those are your words. I was saved by grace through faith. No one is saved before they hear and believe the Gospel message of salvation. The faith part is hearing the word of salvation. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 Your grace alone salvation...

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    For the wicked He will come as a thief in the night. For the Christians who literally believe His word, he will not come as a thief in the night. But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of...

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    Grace through faith is how we are saved. We believe with our heart, and confess with our mouth, Jesus is LORD. If denotes the condition. that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 Thank...

    Is anyone else a Seer?

    It was Jesus Himself before He became flesh, (The Spirit of Christ) speaking through the mouth of the prophets, testifying what He would suffer and endure. It wasn't just a good guess... He foresaw the future of when He would walk this earth as the Messiah; as a flesh and blood Man. “And I...

    Is anyone else a Seer?

    “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. Zechariah 12:10 The...

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    Luke 8:12 is definitely about those who hear the message of salvation, but don't believe. Believe is the condition that is required for a person to be saved. If a person hears and doesn't believe then they will not be saved. Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and...

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    Believe is the condition by which a person is saved. Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. Luke 8:12 Notice these by the wayside did indeed hear, but they did not believe. ... lest...

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    So you agree, then that a person must hear and believe to become saved; to be born again.

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    Is that a yes? That a person must hear and believe the Gospel to saved?

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    Yes, the gospel is the power of God unto Salvation for them that believe. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. Romans 1:16 A person must hear and believe the Gospel in order...
