"If we believe we are working to maintain our salvation, then we are denying Him as having been saved by Him." The above statement has no Biblical basis, there is no verse that says such. It is a philosophy of man, nothing more. There are numerous verses, too numerous for me to even take the...

I am not pulling John 10:28 out of context and wresting it. Another example? Philippians 1: 5 - For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; 6 - Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: I...

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." -the present tense "believeth" denotes a current ongoing action. -the verb "should not perish" is in the subjunctive mood-- Strong's "The...

I was banned from the CC forum. I was Seabass. One day I tried to get on the site and got the following message: "You have been banned for the following reason: Baptism necessary for salvation agenda/false teaching."

He made the statement "If we believe we are working to maintain our salvation, then we are denying Him as having been saved by Him." which has no Biblical bases. It denies (#1) that the Christian has a role and responsibility to obey God's command to remain faithful and stedfast and this takes...

(1) The same exact phase is found in Matthew 26:28. Did Jesus shed His blood BECAUSE sins were already remitted? No, not possible Hebrews 9:22. (2) In Acts 2:38 "repent" is tied to "baptized" by the conjunction "and" making the two inseparable. Therefore if one is baptized BECAUSE his sin...

1) you continue to read whatever you want into the very figurative text of Psalms 53. 2) John has clearly stated that sin is transgression of God's law (1 John 3:4) thereby making the man made idea of original sin impossible. If one is a sinner at birth per Psa 58 (rather than conception Psa...

You post "Salvation is done by believing in Him." What if one quits believing? Verses as John 3:16 have the verb "believeth"in the present tense meaning one must CONDITIONALLY faithfully, stedfastly continue to believe unto death to be saved. The Bible shows there are 2 sides to salvation: 1)...

1) Peter said baptism doth also now save us. Nothing else in the immediate context or anything in the NT changes or contradicts this stated fact that baptism saves. People can only choose to accept this fact or reject it but they cannot ever change truth. 2) like figure in the KJV is...

"Washing of water" and "washing of regeneration" loutron refers to water baptism, a laver of water, a baptismal font. Just as in Acts 2 Peter convicted his hearers and they asked what they must do. Peter commanded them to be baptized and then tells them to "save yourselves". No one can save...

I showed book chapter and verses where a Christian can become unfaithful and fall way from Christ and be eternally lost. This is why the Bible gives multiple commandments in warnings, heedings and admonishments to Christians about remaining faithful and the consequence if they do not. The Bible...

Abraham is an example used many times in the NT by both Paul and James. From what you post above, are you admitting Abraham is NOT an example of justification by "faith only"?

Yes, death can be either physical or spiritual. CONTEXT of Romans 6:16-23 shows it means spiritual death being contrasted from spiritual life. The context show Paul is contrasting salvation from condemnation/lost/spiritual death.

Again, the Psalmists is speaking about the wicked who GO astray, not BORN astray. And the Psalmist is asking God to punish the wicked, not punish everyone including himself. No one here is a spiritual man who has been supernaturally endowed with inspiration from the Holy Spirit. The first law...

Yes, bought does have to do with them having been redeemed by the blood of Christ and for those that deny this they have not given a logical, Biblical alternative for what bought would mean. No, all people have not been bought. Such an idea is pushing universalism. 1 Peter 1:18-19 "Forasmuch...

What in the context supports this? If 'bought' does not mean they had been (past tense) redeemed by the blood of Christ, then: --who was it that bought them if not Christ --why were they bought --why were they now rejecting the one who had bought them? I do not see that the "never really...

Nothing here to be confused about. 2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. What does...

2 Peter 2 refers to those who had been "bought" but turn apostate.

Good point. Salvation requires INDIVIDUAL response Hebrews 5:9.
