I'm with you on this. I think it sometimes comes down to how one defines salvation. I believed, repented, and had faith before anything changed in my life. The very definition of repentance is to make a change, a different direction, a new you following the Spirit rather than the flesh. If you...

My apologies if I misunderstood your position. Salvation is by faith alone. Works are evidence of your salvation. The casting off the old man and demoting the flesh to walk in the Spirit.

Yes I'm opposed to the teachings of the Catholic Church. Faith brings love, hope, works. Works do not bring salvation.

1 Corinthians 4: Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other. From time to time I must examine myself that...

I'm onboard and in agreement with much that you point out BUT I would be interested in your response to the following: Do you commit any sins in your daily life today? Pride, lust, hate or any sin. Do Born Again Christians ever need to seek forgiveness in our prayers?

I think this is another verse in the Bible that gets abused a bit. First, we must look at the context. Paul is writing to Timothy on being a faithful servant, giving him instructions knowing that Timothy would carry on after Pauls's death. SO we must first understand this is instructions to...

Your works-based salvation is all the evidence the world needs to prove that the cross was not sufficient for Catholics. God needs you to help him out. You can keep trying to bash me all you want. I'll keep warning the uninformed of the false teachings of the CC.

I do not care how many times you say it or how many times you attempt to deflect the world knows the infestation of moral corruption within the Catholic Church over its history. Sexual abuse of children, sexual abuse of Nuns, Lesbian Nuns abusing other Nuns. Homosexual Priest requiters, an...

I do not know. I do know that God is a merciful and loving God and that's enough for me. I do not agree with my Brother Pinseeker on some babies being among the elect and others not so (I think that is how he believes). We have different definitions of "elect" but that's a different thread. I do...

Maybe it was because you were a bad boy this past year...:)

Merry Christmas to you all. Yes even you @Marymog :)

Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Being born again for me was a changing of the guard. The Holy Spirit within me was now in charge and not my flesh. A transformation took place post repentance. A new direction, new desires, a casting off of the old me. Joy. Happiness in my new self. The battle between the flesh and Spirit is and...

This is silly. Santa Claus is fiction. Jack and Bean Stalk is fiction, Micky Mouse is fiction along with the tooth fiery and many other fictional characters created for children. Who worships Santa Claus? I guess I would not be surprised that there is someone out there that does, Micky Mouse...

I'm not sure they understand the body of Christ. At Communion, they think it's a wafer.

I agree that there is a difference. I do not believe you work to obtain your salvation. I believe that your salvation produces obedience to the Holy Spirit which manifests itself in good works. You can't work hard enough in the law or out of the law to obtain salvation.

Yes by God's grace we are saved if we believe. Jesus's sacrifice didn't automatically save those who refuse to believe. Jesus is the Way. Perhaps you assume. Praising myself is your fiction. I fully expect you to name everything a works. Hyper grace followers do that. You refuse to...

Yes. Your salvation produces good works with love. Works are evidence of salvation and not a cause for salvation.

She knows these things. A person would have to ignore all the evidence. Tradition is more important than truth to some.

I've repeated several times that all denominations have had evil people in leadership positions. Men are men and men sin. You try to compare the sins of reformers with the long history of satan's partnership with the CC. There is no comparison. Have you thought about the fact that Judas was dead...
