Becoming a Christian and remaining one is impossible apart from obedience to God. It is only those who obey God that God is working in as those Philippians who had "always obeyed".

It's not true simply because you say so. No verse says that making obedience a condition to receiving God's free gift makes obedience a work of merit....no verse.

Eternal life is eternal for those who attain it on judgment day. No one in this life has eternal life but can possess the promise of eternal life (1 Jn 2:25) and that promise is CONDITIONAL upon the Christian's CONTINUE obedience. Hence those reprobates Peter speaks about lost that promise...

it's sad you keep rewriting the context adding ideas to it WHILE IGNORING THE FACTS THAT ARE GIVEN in order to provide cover the false ideas of OSAS.

You keep stating the EXACT OPPOSITE of what the verse is saying. The context is speaking about those who in the past had been WASHED of their sins, thier sins had been PURGED but though their sins were forgiven in the past NOW they have returned to those sins are being now compared to dogs and...

It's false since it cannot be proven that obedience is a work of merit. You are as much admitting your position cannot be proven.

Repeating this does not prove that obedience is a work of merit.

Obviously the context is not talking about literal dogs and sows but making a figurative or metahphorical comparison with a human who had once been saved by having sins washed away, sins were expelled out but has now returned again to those sins. You want to overlook the fact those sins had...

2 Peter chapter 2 makes no sense if OSAS were true. "But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire." In an effort to overturn this proverb, OSASers claim the dog and the sow were...

Like I said, you can repeat this a million times but it has no Bible basis, you are making it up out of thin air. Works of merit and obedience are two completely different, opposite things. The fact there is no example in the BIble of obedience to God's will being called a work of merit...

Rom 6:16 speaks of being a servant of "OBEDIENCE unto righteonsess" it says nothing about being a servant of faith onlyism. Obedience and faith onlyism are two completely opposite, different things. Nowhere ever does Paul say 'faith only unto righteousness'. And you continue with the false...

The law of Christ (Gal 6:2) is Christ's NT. And Christ's NT law is also referred to as the gospel, the truth, the faith, the doctrine of Christ, the perfect law of liberty, the royal law. And Christ's NT law must be obeyed in order to be saved. Christ's law is not different from the truth or...

12 - "So then, my beloved, even 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 13 - for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for His good pleasure" From v12, those Philippian...

The OT law of Moses was taken out of the way and replaced by the law of Christ (Gal 6:2) which is also called the gospel, the faith, the truth, the royal law, etc. Therefore the gospel nor grace is void of the law of Christ for grace does not allow the Christian to live as he pleases in sin...

Rom 6:16-18 Paul made obedience necessary in order to be saved/freed from sin/justified. Each person serves either "sin unto death" (condemnation) or 'obedience unto righteousness" (saved). The Bible does not teach DISobedience unto righteousness for no one can be saved living in disobedience...

Rom 11:6 refers to works of merit not obedience for Paul in Romans is contrasting grace from works of merit. Even in the immediate context, Paul shows God's people have always been those who obey.......in OT time those who obeyed by not bowing to Baal and in present NT times those who obeyed...

Are We Under Law or Grace? A significant group of misguided souls alleges that the “grace” of Jesus Christ has dispensed with the need for “law.” This “antinomian” ideology is designed to throw the mantle of fellowship around those who have not obeyed the Lord in the process of becoming a...

My point was that the NT gospel is not void of law (2 Thess 1:8) as grace is not void of law (Romans 6) for no one was ever saved by living in disobedient to God's law, that is, no one was ever saved by serving "sin unto death" but saved by "obedience unto righteousness" (Rom 6:16).

I was referring to the NT law of Christ in my post, not the OT law of Moses. Christ's NT law is called the gospel, the faith, the truth, royal law, etc. My point was that the gospel is not void of law as grace is not void of law for no one was ever saved by living in disobedient to God's law...

Law vs Gospel The Gospel itself is law, it is called the "law of Christ" (Gal 6:2) and the Gospel is NT law that must be obeyed (2 Thess 1:8) for men are "under law to Christ" (1 Cor 9:27) for the "the law of Christ" is to be fulfilled (Gal 6:2). The 'law of Christ" is also called "the...
