How about we cease trying to 'box' God... I have a friend who was a nominal 'liberal' Lutheran visiting the country. He went to a backpackers for the night. There he read a book by Nicky Gumbel about Jesus. At the end of the book there were instructions about how to become a Christian. Being...

Nonsense - the New Covenant changed everything. Jer 32:40 "I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me.

That is NOT the biblical definition of the unforgivable sin.

Matthew 10:33 But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.

For the believer this is impossible - see Jer 32:40 "I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me...."

Your examples relate to those who have never believed... I am speaking of those who have believed and then struggle for some reason like Thomas. In that case God's faithfulness trumps our faithlessness. Even with Peter denying Him - you would have him in Hell as well. Good theology comes...

Elvis never blew my socks off - I sensed a wrong spirit from day one. Christians who die in unbelief like Thomas will be welcomed like Thomas was.

2 Timothy 2:13 If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny who he is. Think Jesus response to Peter after three denials. Think Jesus response to Thomas when refusing to believe. Remember Jer 32:40 and the promise to be kept from falling but the indwelling fear of Him.

You have posted no scripture that says the unforgivable sin is unbelief. You can't and wont admit this because it blows your theories apart. If unbelief in a believers life is forgiven (which it is) then your OSNS position is impossible. That is why you have to claim that the unforgivable sin...

I hear you opinion - scripture please... What I do know is the scripture defines the unforgivable sin and doesn't mention unbelief...

Please stay on the point. You claimed that the unforgivable sin was unbelief. The unforgivable sin IS NOT UNBELIEF.

Wrong sorry... The one sin that will never be forgiven by God is as quoted below - and it is not unbelief as you claim. Matthew 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

The unforgivable sin is singular.

FB - 1. What is the Unforgivable Sin ??? 2. Is the sin of unbelief forgivable ??? 3. Do you have to repent of every sin before death?

OSNS is devoid of promise. Peter denied Christ three times and what happened? Jesus made the move and confirmed His love for Peter. The Heart of God is to Love. He knows that we are but clay.

Just call it OSNS for clarity. That's Once Saved Not Saved.

Well, that's it then... Let's just amend all the tracts... Jesus might save Jesus could be the answer and change a few lyrics... Amazing Grace how sweet the sound that might have saved a wretch like me... I once was lost but now I'm found, was blind and now I see - for the moment. So this...

The reason I asked the question was that if there are saints pre Abraham like possibly Job who some believe was quite early - then this points further to the Cross being a timeless event that exploded across all of history past present and future. Personally I believe this and it settles the...

The reason why few responded is that in not using scripture one invites distain from the scripture only brigade. Jesus and Paul taught plenty that was not in scripture but was inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Well the way I see it is that Faith comes from hearing the Word of Christ. His chosen are drawn by the Holy Spirit and surrender to His will. These folk then receive the indwelling presence and are sealed in Salvation, adopted into His Family and cooperate with His purpose for them. Their...
