Not sure what verse youre thinking about. But Rev 3 says If we are in Christ, we have overcome. The verse says our names will not be blotted out, not that they will.

Wouldn't be much of a God if He didn't huh? The very definition of omniscience is all knowing.

You are correct when you say it is impossible to become unborn. Just like we are physically born a human being, we are spiritually born of God. We can't stop being human. Nor can we stop being an adopted son or daughter of God. We are new creatures 2 Cor 5:17. I agree 100%!

Huh?

I doubt new/young believers are going to be turned off by any discussion here. Young believers should be in a discipleship program at their church. The growing is in their own study, not here. And, we are told to contend earnestly for the faith; Jude 3. As someone said, theology matters.

Of course i did. Its called conviction. Both sides are right? You can lose your salvation. You can't lose your salvation. Both are right? Is monotheism and atheism both correct?

I believe scripture is harmonious and consistent. If there is a problem reconciling verses, we are the problem not scripture. So, my take is that verses which appear to suggest we can lose our salvation need to be studied deeper. Verses i've seen where we allegedly lose our salvation have...

These are FollowHim's words; "I have spent years, literally talking to a group". If not a group then what? But this group or person still has specific beliefs that should point us to a denomination or sect we can take a closer look at. Again from his own words there is nothing in this 'group'...

You still didn't name this group you said you were in conversation with. Why not? Mormons do all the stuff you just listed. Are they christian? Jw's? Acting all pious and using the bible has been going on since day one of the church. It means nothing. When you describe as you did the nature of...

You read the same post i just responded to. Are you at all convinced by what was said that this group represents any sect of true christianity? There isn't the first thing in what was said about this group that would make anyone think they are true believers. Anyone that believes you can sit...

Whats the name of this group. Because from the rest of your post it sounds like they have zero desire for Gods word which is replete with examples of how and why we should bear fruit. And Romans 12:1 specifically says we should be living sacrifices to be acceptable to God...So while i don't...

Numerous issues here but i'll only address a couple. First, people in general don't say that catholicism teaches salvation by works alone. It doesn't matter what you add to the gospel; faith + __________ anything else FOR salvation is heresy. Faith plus works is still a false gospel. You cited...

Not to beat a dead horse but again, i don't know anyone who currently believes in eternal security of the believer (as i do) and at the same time think they can sit on the couch binging on netflix until they die because in their minds their ticket to heaven has been punched. On the contrary...

Hi, i'm not a calvinist. But election is certainly taught in the bible. Those who are elect will persevere, they will endure and they have overcome. Thats the nature of the believer in Christ.

Sounds like someone isn't interested in understanding God's word. I'm supposed to bend over backwards to read your stuff but you can't get down from your pedestal to do some research? It's a two way street. You don't want to dig deeper that's fine. I give what I get.

Its called bible study. Do one on logos. There are tons of helps available.

How condescending. If you had more than trotting out a bunch of verses i think i'd have seen it by now. Sadly, i haven't.

If baptism had the power to save it'd be necessary. It doesn't so its not. And i'm showing you that 2 tim 2 has a lot to say about how we can honor God and accurately handle His word. As well as suggesting a study of the word logos. You don't seem too interested in that. Maybe its your heart...

I consider it, i just reject it.

I agree. When you reject the nature of God youre rejecting His essence and all that He is. On that point we agree. And since baptism doesn't save thats one more area of contention. I'm assuming you mean water baptism. If i'm wrong...sorry.
