    Work out your own Salvation?

    Epi's doctrine is out of whack in some very important areas. But I didn't know you have to be "somebody" in order to sound a warning. Even my dog warns when someone comes near my front porch. And even a donkey thousands of years ago warned somebody. But ah sister, do you know what spirit you...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    I don't know whether you are arguing with those scriptures penned under inspiration of the Holy Spirit, or whether you don't understand. Probably both, it seems.

    Hmmm... then why are you judging and accusing this brother here may I ask? Hello...? LOL.

    Work out your own Salvation?

    Rom 10:14-18 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    Sure there are those who are Phariseeical and self-righteous........that is in their own hearts and not the fault of scripture.

    Work out your own Salvation?

    If we have heart knowledge of Christ we will love His word, the truth, as set forth in the bible. Which contains not the wisdom of men but the spiritual wisdom of God. Which is what the Holy Spirit teaches.....He doesn't speak on His own. There is no competition between God's word and His...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    We are supposed to be endeavouring to APPREHEND that for which He has apprehended us, aren't we? Forgetting what lies behind and reaching for what lies ahead? "Leaving (as it were) the foundational things and going on to perfection/maturity? Running the race so as to WIN it? And there is a...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    I just take it that we need to receive God's word as a seed that when it takes root in us bears good fruit. Take the warnings for example....receive and accept them and take them to heart, and they will bear the desired fruit in our lives. That is not us trying to "earn" salvation, that is the...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    The Spirit is a living witness and the bible also says the word of God is alive (living) and active, true? The Spirit and the word agree, says the bible. Jesus said the scriptures testify of Him....that means witness. As well as the bible also says the Holy Spirit testifies of Him. Both...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    Nobody else can take us out of God's hand sister, that is true. But it is possible for US to crawl out of His hand. That's why the devil deceives people....because he can't take us away from the Lord, so he has to deceive and tempt people into doing that themselves. The Lord doesn't force...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    Oy vey. What does it mean to be cut off? This is not rocket science. The analogy of birth is only an analogy not literal. Trying to make a case that because a literal baby can't return to a literal womb once it's been born literally, that that therefore applies to spiritual birth........is...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    I can't always keep up with every comment and question in a discussion these days I'm afraid. But of course it is by the Holy Spirit.....AKA the spirit of Christ, AKA imperishable seed. No it's not opinion. This is God's word, not my opinion. I just read it and take it to heart because it's...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    Sister....you were talking about being born of imperishable seed.....and you seem to think that imperishable seed means it is impossible for someone to lose their salvation. I was trying to point out with scripture, that Christ is that imperishable seed that we are born of. And that it is...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    Gal 3:16-19 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    Jesus Christ is that imperishable seed. He in us and we in Him. Christ in us the hope of glory. And He says IF we remain in Him He will remain in us. The seed itself is imperishable, but it doesn't necessarily guarantee that it will remain in everyone. Salvation itself (being born again) is...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    Those scriptures in Galations are specifically talking about going back under the Law and its ordinances. You are misapplying them - we are not talking about the Law here. But even then it proves believers CAN fall from grace by going back under the Law.....so it proves OSAS to be wrong in...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    We need to try and stop rationalizing with the carnal mind so much and just accept the whole counsel of God on the matter. Faith and the Holy Spirit are given to us as a free gift in the beginning, but He who gave the Spirit can just as easily take it away if we grieve Him enough or abuse His...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    1Co 9:27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. 2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed...

    Amen. 1Co 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

    Work out your own Salvation?

    I'm not sure it's that easy if something is a bondage/stronghold that goes back to the roots of one's life.
