Where did you address Matthew 7:21-23? In the last month? Could you repeat it? I really want to know because it has always bothered me. So I want to ask someone who believes we cannot lose our salvation.

Are you talking about me asking if you understand?

You know I don't believe that or teach that. I don't sin, or even believe in sinning "so grace may abound" so why accuse me of that? You do believe and teach you can't lose your salvation. That seems like OSAS to me! The person in Matthew 7:21-23 was obviously filled with the Spirit, thus born...

Hi Ritajanice and @Behold I know you both are believers in OSAS. But I can't logically get past Matthew 7:21-23. Only someone who has been born again and filled with the Spirit (they go together) can cast out demons, prophecy and do miracles. Matthew is not talking about "fake" miracles, so how...

I wish it was as simple as that. But there are those who "believe" that just accepting who Jesus is as the Son of God and accepting Him as their Savior and freed from condemnation is enough. No! We must follow Him. And we can't with a sin nature. So we must repent and want to be freed from sin...

I don't know why, He is not a respecter of persons. One of my friends was driving when he experienced it and had to pull over before he crashed!

The Ten Commandments are still valid, but for sinners. Jesus takes away our desire to commit willful lawless sin, so we no longer need the Law to point out sin that isn't there. Get it? What is written on our hearts are the laws of Jesus. Do them and you are not breaking any of the Ten...

There are two types of sin in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Old Testament; Numbers 15:22-29 a sacrificed covered the sins NOT unto death that were committed unintentionally. In the New Testament in 1 John 5:16-17 those would be sins not unto death - immature fruit of the Spirit...

What I can relate to is the 180 degree about face in my desires to sin instantly. It is dead, I know it, and I know who I am in Christ. He also gave me the gift of hearing His voice that night. He also answers all my prayers. For the 30 years before that not one prayer was answered. But I had...

John 15:10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. There are commandments of the Father, the Old Covenant, the Ten Commandments And there are commandments of Jesus. They are not the same, 1 John 3:23-24 23 And...

What was the sobering thought for me was the realization that I had already gone to church for 30 years! But not until 1977 was I born again. That means that most people in today's church may not be saved. Recently one forum member in the Calvinist group said that we are not saved by works of...

I agree, but watch your wording. There is a false doctrine out there that says "God does not see our sin anymore because it is covered by the blood of Jesus WHILE WE COMMIT THEM. YIKES!

A Christian who has eternal life in them, no, they are the only ones who go straight to the presence of God. Their bodies are in the ground. The unsaved, would probably be asleep until the judgment. They are not aware of anything until then. If they were aware as if soul sleep was error they...

A practicing homosexual is not a Christian. Jesus takes away our sins unto death out of our nature. Paul talks of those who used to be homosexuals but no more in that congregation. God loved them enough to cleanse them. But God will not go against our own free-will if they want to still...

No, I can't relate to what Paul went through. It seems you don't know the meaning of what he said. Read it in context like I have. He's talking about being persecuted and his physical life was in jeopardy, but he kept on preaching in spite of the risk. That is him dying daily. Paul was already...

Legalism is when you have laws that are AGAINST your NATURE. Since Adam sinned and turned dominion over to Satan mankind inherited SIN in our nature making us sinners. It got so bad that God gave the Ten Commandments to guard them, but they had to keep them against their nature. That is why the...

It is not legalistic if we are only following our conscience doing what is now naturally from a cleansed conscience. You aren't making sense. What specifically have I written that brings you to your wrong conclusion. Let's work it out.

Why do you prefer a church that doesn't believe the WORDS of Jesus, but instead, the human reasoning of man and even doctrines of demons? They have a defeatist message that you will always be a sinner. And that you will always have a sin nature. Both are FALSE according to Scripture! God will...

When Jesus takes away our sin unto death, at that point you are sinless. Period. That person goes straight to heaven. You have it completely wrong in thinking that WE HAVE TO OVERCOME ANYTHING. Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our Faith, whether we are just a "baby" Christian who has all...

I think we are finally on the same page! Love you brother! I couldn't have said it better myself!!!
