Yes, some in Galatia had left the NT gospel and was lead to keep the law of Moses by false Judazing teachers and therefore had fallen from grace. To be justified by the law of Moses required perfect, flawless keeping of ALL the law for just one sin brought the curse of the law upon a person...

What I posted I backed with scripture. You failed to give any proof at all the one baptism of Eph 4:5 is Spirit baptism. The context of Col 2 Paul is warning them about following false Judiazing teachers away from the gospel of Christ back to the law of Moses. Paul reminds them they were in...

You gave no proof that the one baptism of Eph 4:5 is Spirit baptism. Christ's baptism of the great commission, (Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15;16) has commissioned disciples/humans to administer water baptism and this baptism that makes disciples lasts till the end of time/end of the world. In...

God has made the offer of salvation to all men, John 3:16. Though God has made a universal offer of salvation, it is received only by those that conditionally have and maintain faith. Maintaining faith is a life long process and if one is no faithful unto death he forfeits salvation. I...

But OSAS says salvation is UNconditional therefore cannot be lost under ANY circumstance. From what you posted above I get salvation is received and one must CONDITIONALLY believe in his heart. Then it only makes logically sense one must conditionally continue to believe in his heart to...

Hi. "Being saved" is a present tense participle and depicts salvation as being a process as opposed to something that happens UNconditonally at one quick instance in time when one has "faith only" and is UNconditionally guaranteed salvation no matter how he lives. Salvation is conditional...

The OP cites two CALVINISTIC commentators who introduced their Calvinistic biases into the texts. On another forum I have participated on (CARM) I recently brought up the 2 Peter 2 context on that forum showing how it disproves OSAS. 2 Pet 2:1 "But there were false prophets also among the...

Salvation is a CONDITIONAL gift from God. The receiver will receive the gift from the Giver as long as the receiver meets the conditions placed upon the gift: 2 Corinthians 2:15 "For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,"...

But the jailer did not believe only. When we search the scriptures we see: Acts 16:33 "And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately." Acts 16:34 "And he brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and...

Nothing in the context shows that water means anything other than water. When compared with other texts: Jn 3:5--------------Spirit+++++++++++++water>>>>>>>>>>>>>in the kingdom 1Cor 12:13--------Spirit+++++++++++++baptized>>>>>>>>>>>in the body Tts 3:5---------Holy Ghost+++++++++laver of...

Man cannot save himself by himself, but man does have a role to fulfill in his own salvation: Acts 2:38 - save yourselves 1 Timothy - 4:16 save thyself 2 Corinthians 7:1 - cleanse ourselves 2 Timothy 2:21 - purge thyself 1 Peter 1:22 - purify your souls James 4:8 - cleanse your hands, purify...

The context in Heb 6 contrasts those who WERE: "who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come" but are NOW: "crucify (present tense) to themselves the Son of...

The question therefore, as I see it, is what role does water play in the new birth and what role does the Spirit play in the new birth. The role of water is water baptism. A few verses later (John 3:22-23) I see what Jesus meant by water. In water baptism, one is raised up from a watery grave...

Process of salvation: 2 Corinthians 2:15 "For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing," Revelation 2:10 One cannot be faithful for a moment then quit but be faithful unto death John 10:27 one cannot hear and follow Christ for a moment...

I look at what I am told about Abraham in the Bible in how his being reckoned righteous, justified was a process (Genesis 12:1-4 > Gen 22:12) and not something that happened at one instant in time. Abraham was not reckoned righteous, justified at one instance by having faith only for he did...

1 Pet 3:21-----baptism>>>>>>>>>>>saves Acts 2:38------baptism>>>>>>>>>>>for the remission of sins Mark 16:16----baptized>>>>>>>>>>saved Rom 6:4-------baptized>>>>>>>>>>walk in newness of life/freed from sin>justified Gal 3:27-------baptized>>>>>>>>>>put on Christ Acts...

Salvation can only be found in Christ, but salvation in Christ is not by belief alone. As you point out, one must repent of his sins, repent or perish, (Luke 13:3), therefore all the belief only in the world can never save an impenitent person. A Christian is one who has died to sin, (Romans...

Context---Jesus is speaking to His Apostles promising THEM the Comforter, no one else. John 14:17 "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." John 14:26 "But the...

Following Christ means doing what Christ says. How can one be a follower/disciple of Christ if they are not doing what the Master says to do...."And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" Luke 6:46 One has to conditionally hear and follow Christ ongoingly to qualify...

Yes were are in that figurative 1000 years now, we are in the last days. Premillennialism is an invention of man. Again, --the thief is not an example of NT salvation for he did not live under teh NT gospel Hebrew 9:16-17 --Therefore the thief could not have a belief that God 'hath' raised...
