Again, Jesus says that your converted man "IN" Christ will be taken away by his Father, unless that man produces good fruit. I believe that there are many (so called) converted men, that will find out that they are not. Many are converted and doing a wonderful job for Jesus.

I'm curious, what is the "trap" you mentioned?

Yes, the race is not won until you cross the finish line. Thank you.

If suffering is necessary to keep your testimony of Jesus, then suffering and sacrifice is necessary.

What lie did I tell? Which church today holds the "keys to the kingdom of heaven"?

So God chooses you to come to Christ. Christ gives you faith and grace, so your sins are forgiven from before and into eternity automatically by Christ. Christ saves you into heaven. Is this the basic doctrine of the OSAS?

Yes, you must be baptized to put on Christ. Thank you.

We put on Christ this way: We believe We repent We are water baptized We are spirit baptized We are now ready (being "IN" Christ and embolden by the grace of God) to be children of Jesus and we act the part by bringing fruit (people) into the kingdom of God with us. Emboldened by the grace of...

Wow, you really know your scriptures. But, no matter how you want to twist this scripture away from OSAS, it is still an OSAS problem. If a person is "IN" Christ, which to me means they are a baptized member and are "IN" the grace of God, do no produce fruit for the kingdom of God, they are...

That is metaphoric. Of course you can walk away from God. Even if you once loved God, but now hate him, you can truly offend God to where his spirit will no longer strive with you. Look at Cain. He knew God, possibly face to face and even sacrificed to him, although it was not a righteous...

Yes your eyes are opening. You cannot be saved by good works, but your good works is a part of your reputation, so all can see and glorify your Father in heaven and prove you are truly saved. As you remember, good works was part of the proof that Jesus put forward to prove that he was the Son...

Striving and must are 2 different words with different meanings. So don't tie "we must earn our salvation", to "striving to do good". It is a perfect excuse not to do good. And besides, what fact did you state? Do you think it is a fact that if someone is striving to do good, they are...

Believe me, this is not the attitude that our God wants his children to have. It seems feeble and weak. We should be born again, enlightened, dynamic Christians that are about our Fathers business of bringing souls into the Kingdom of heaven. For as the scripture says: Ephesians 2:10 10 For...

Who said anything about earning your salvation. Was Jesus trying to earn his salvation as he strived to do good every day? Why do you douse water on striving to do good, by tying earning your salvation to it? It is code words for not having to strive to do good. You too, I bet are striving...

Of course the Saved are NOT "taken away". It is those that think they are Saved that do not bring fruit for the Kingdom of God that are taken away, per the scripture, not me. Who says that a man IN Christ IS WITH Christ? Are you making something up here to get around the scripture? IN and...

God will not abandon his children, but his children have the agency to abandon him, and they do regardless if they said once in their life that they believe in Jesus.

You talk like striving to do good is an evil design against Jesus. Do you really not strive to do good? I'll bet you do, and if not, I bet you are not a real Christian because if you follow after Christ you are always striving to do good, just read a little scripture and you will see.

Then why did Jesus give Peter the "keys to the kingdom of heaven", or do you know of such things? Do you understand that whatever Peter and the apostles loosed, heaven loosed. Whatever Peter and the apostles bound, heaven bound. What does that mean to you? Let me tell what it means to me...

I'm sorry to hear that. I suspect you know very little about the power of the "keys to the kingdom of heaven" talked about in Matthew 16, especially 18 and 19. Why did Jesus go all the way to the river Jordan to find John to baptize him? Because John was the only person on earth at the time...

Was Peter and the apostles false priests? Remember Jesus gave them the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and that gave them the power to forgive sins.
