Revelation 3:4 says: ”Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.”

Think. Noah and his family were not facing a crowd of people who were imminently trying to kill them and a giant wave of water came in to save them at the last moment. They were saved from that evil world by being removed from it. So it was the influence of evil that they were being saved...

Sorry. The gospel does not include water baptism because Paul makes a distinction between the gospel and baptism In 1 Corinthians 1:17. While baptism is a requirement of our faith, and the just shall live by faith, Peter makes it clear that baptism does not save us in putting away the filth of...

While 1 John 1:7 does not have the word imputed in the verse, the concept is still there because IF we walk in the light (Which is conditional or a condition we have to meet by loving our brother - 1 John 2:9-11) the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. So by loving our brother, the...

Let me ask you. How often do you think a Christian has to sin on occasion (Not practicing sin) in order to fulfill your interpretation on 1 John 1:8? Do you have to sin on occasion every week? Every day? Every month? Every year? Every ten years? In your experience from your own life or...

James 2:14 says, “What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?” The answer to this question is… “No” because… James 2:17 says, ”Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” So you need works or you have a dead faith...

@devin553344 One thing I will say is that I disagree with the Catholic Church and the Church of Christ (COC) because they teach that you can only be initially saved by water baptism. Yet, Cornelius was saved by receiving the Spirit (Which is the downpayment of his inheritance) before he was...

While there are other places in the Bible that talks about this, one notable place where the Bible addresses an extreme form of legalism (or Works ALONE Salvationism) is in Luke 18:9-14, and Luke 17:9-10. I believe these pieces of Scripture address those men who are seeking to bypass God’s...

If they have the same mind set to sin, then they are still being controlled by the prince of the power of the air. Bible hermeneutics will not help them because they will only see a means to turn the Scriptures as an excuse to sin in some way along with what they believe is serving God. A...

@Johann Again, please stop quoting commentaries. I have no interest in them, and neither should you. Many of them are written in a way that is flowery and confusing and they are not always clear. They also have many unbiblical things within commentaries, as well. Please talk to me as a real...

Naturally God calls people. The Word of God and the Spirit convicts men of their sins and helps them to seek forgiveness with the Lord Jesus. God elects or has chosen them to salvation. I believe the word “election” in 2 Peter 1:10 is dealing with God having chosen us to salvation in being a...

1 John 1:8 is another popular verse used by those who seek to justify how one must sin again in this life on occasion. Think. Can God really agree with your sin? That makes no sense if you think that way.

I have provided Scripture, and you provided commentaries. This is the difference between us. I have no interest in reading commentaries. My interest is God’s Word. Talk to me as a real human being and don’t throw other people’s words at me that are not Scripture please. Commentaries are not...

This again sounds like another long winded commentary by somebody else with a bias without you really examining the Scriptures for yourself on the matter with the help of God. I would encourage you to stay away from commentaries by men. I have no real interest in debating a commentary that you...

You can make your calling and election sure by doing the following things according to Peter. 2 Peter 1:5-11 says: 5 “…add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness...

Is this your own writing or somebody else’s? If it is another person’s work, it is good to give them the credit (if it is). I generally try to speak with people my own thoughts and not relay the thoughts of others (unless they say it better than I can in some instances). Too many times it is...

Romans 6:6-7 says: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. Galatians 2:20 says: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ...

We are accounted righteous by faith. We have ACCESS by faith into grace. ACCESS means we gain entrance into God’s grace without works through faith. This faith does not remain as a belief alone. Faith is described to us as both a belief alone (Hebrews 11:3), and faith is also described to us...

I provided Scripture to prove my case and so let the good Berean reader (Who is unbiased) examine Scripture for themselves to see the truth on this matter. I am confident if they are truly unbiased, they will see the truth that we are saved by both God’s grace and Sanctification. Sorry to...
