:) You nailed it.

Yes, the Parable of the Sower is so illuminating. A person can transition from being a Wayside Hearer of the Gospel to being Stoney Ground, then a Weed Patch, and finally Fertile Soil which produces fruit. All this time God the goodness of God plows and sows and waters and nurtures and...

I'm curious. Your visble Personal Details Panel (below your avatar) shows you as Christian. Why if that's not true? And why do you hang out on Christian Forums?

So in that case it is NOT a falling away from "salvation by grace through faith", and therefore not relevant to the Scriptures that address such falling away. How can anyone fall away from something they never had????????????????? Heb 6:4-6 For it is impossible for those who were once...

This thread is about falling away and falling short, so it appropriate to examine Scriptures that reference this. Heb 6:4-8 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, (5) and have tasted the good...

The Bible contradicts the above opinion. For the Galatians to become estranged from Christ they first had to know Him. Gal 5:4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. They began in the Spirit but like many after them fell...

Question: What convinces you that the Bible is from God? Anwer: The effect it has on people.

Hi @Lifelong_sinner If you could forget the OSAS & the papacy issues and say what you think it is to "fall from grace" & to "fall short of the grace of God", this would be appreciated. Jamie Buckingham was faithfully pastoring and leading a congregation when he allowed himself to be drawn...

Seriously, I've not posted anything relating to the dispute you raise. The letter to the Hebrews repeatedly warns against apostasy, the moving away from Positional Holiness. Heb 2:1-4 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. (2) For if...

Yes, and I don't refute that, so why the contention?

Once again, Huh? Strawman and non secateur fallacies are to be avoided.

Yes, Positional Holiness is ours if we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in our heart that God has raised Him from the dead. Practical Holiness is ours if we, being raised with Christ: seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. set...

Exciting new thread on subject: Who Falls From Grace & Who Falls Short Of It? | Christian Forums @ Christianity Board

No stump too difficult.

Huh? Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should...

Are you suggesting something, Curtis? Not sure how objectively you are coming at this topic.

Yes, and the Christian that slips and falls into sin, rather than being cast away without remedy, incorrectly described as having fallen from grace, can access more grace in order to be restored. Heb 4:14-16 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens...

Who Falls From Grace? Gal 5:4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. They made a good start but were turning away from God who called them into the grace of Christ: Gal 1:6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from...

Yes, Paul writes that only a right relationship with God can define a descendant of Abraham, spiritually speaking. "For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not...

No. The implication there is that being a Jew is the criteria for salvation, when in fact being a new creation through faith in Christ is, even for the Israel of God (Jews that are followers of Christ). Gal 6:14-16 But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus...
