Right, works follow our being born again. Once we are new creations we desire the work God has for us; Titus 2 14who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds. NASB.

True. But the synergists think breathing is a work when it comes to salvation.

So, Eph 2 specifically says 'not of works' but you say it is saying you need grace and works? How do you get works from 'not of works'? These people did works in Jesus' name; These people did works in Jesus name, some it says did 'many' miracles. They were cast out. Why? Not for works or lack...

I prefer perseverance of the saints myself. And i've never associated that teaching with antinomianism, which is what youre suggesting. We bear fruit because we are saved, not to be saved. What else does Matt 7 say? There are those that are DOING works; miracles in your name, casting out...

I'm glad you found a place youre comfortable being in. Its nice to know people pray for you when you ask. And its also nice to know you can dialogue without feeling out of place. True believers, hopefully are here to glorify God with their speech. Either presenting the gospel or defending it. We...

Just a couple of things. A. There is no contradiction between Paul, James or Peter. All 'alleged' differences are reconciled easily. B. My 'internal BS meter' i.e. discernment is the Holy Spirit guiding me. Now that might not be what you intended so sorry, if thats not what you meant. But we do...

Well, Carm does not allow personal attacks, rule 12/22:) Some slip by i'm sure but the mods take pretty good care of the boards. People for many reasons are suspended/banned every day.

Thanks, glad to be here. Looks fun.....

Thank you. And it seems you can't escape it anywhere you go huh?

Carm can be rough, even within the rules. I have browsed some and don't see the hostility here or the rhetoric or people blatantly taking you out of context just to score a point. It does give you a thick skin though. Present the word, and move on.

Thanks, glad to be here....

Hi, I'm new here but not new to Christian forums. In all honesty i'm here because Carm is down:) I love apologetics, exposing false teaching but as Paul says 'with gentleness...' 2 Tim 2. I feel when our faith is challenged, we grow. And as we plant seeds God can use those opportunities for Him.

All of the above. Much of true christianity is watered down with a watered down gospel. The dividing line as it were, is blurred for some. Not for others. Our job is to bring people to Jesus, not let them sit where they are. We are called to expose false teaching....Eph 5:11.
