Commandments are not for working for your salvation BOL, they're for sanctification. Jhn 13:34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. Jhn 15:12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Gal 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither...

I didn't agree with you BOL. You're working for your salvation. I'm work out my salvation. Phil 2:12-13 is a sanctification scripture. Phil 2:12-13 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed--not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence--continue to work out your...

Students know when they've passed when the teacher gives them their grade, but how do we know when the test is spiritual. Does anyone have any scripture or websites explaining the how? Thank you. - Heb

I myself believe that the lake of fire is not forever. There is enough biblical evidence to support annihilationism... Annihilationism vs. Traditionalism. bbyrd, what's the difference between a nonbeliever keeping the law vs a believer keeping the law?

BOL, the only one's who are saved at the cross are those who believe and confess Rom 10:9. To the religious there's always a "however" or "but"... so many trying to work for their salvation when scripture plainly states to work it out.. Phil 2:12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always...

Ernest, there are only two types of people in the world; born again believers and nonbelievers. To become a part of this group called "Christian" as you state, one must believe and confess, Rom 10:9. The Gospel is simple, yet everyone is trying to save themselves in these end times. A - Admit...

Ernest, what passage(s) besides verse 10 in 2 Cor 5:1-10 is referring to nonbelievers. Can you show me? If there's only one judgment then please break down Rev 20:5 and Rev 20:11-15, and explain why the Bema Seat and the Great White throne are separated by a thousand years. Ok, so where do...

It's been 13 years for me, and what do you know I still believe in the finished work of the cross, and I wasn't obedient yesterday either.

And yet you don't believe it is finished at the cross. You're still working for your salvation. Isa 64:6 All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away. Matt 7:16 By their...

No Ernest, the reason we are sealed is because of belief, and this seal lasts until redemption. Read it again, and notice the OSAS words... 1. included in Christ 2. heard 3. believed 4. promised Holy Spirit 5. deposit guaranteeing 6. until (eis) the redemption Eph 1:13-14 And you also were...

Ernest, 2 Cor 5:1-10 is a message to believers in Christ only. ALL BELIEVERS IN CHRIST. Ernest, Paradise is for OT and NT saints. You're not making sense bro. No, we are justified by faith when one believes. Submitting to H2O baptism is like sacrificing goats for sin. Do we sacrifice animals...

Paul is the author here in Rom 10 writing to the nation Israel which was still in unbelief, and they still are today. Rom 10:1 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. Rom 10:16 But not all the Israelites accepted the good news...

What gives you the impression that 2 Cor 5:1-10 is also about nonbelievers. Believers are written all over these passages. So not one OT saint will be in paradise? Either he's in paradise or not. You're trying to find loop holes to make works salvation fit, and you sound ridiculous. I'm...

So have you accepted Christ as your Lord and savior yet? Jesus loves you BOL, and He wants you to surrender fully. God bless

No Ernest, the Bema seat of Christ is reserved for believers only. Nonbelievers are reserved for the Great White Throne Rev 20:5, Rev 20:11-15. No, Jesus brought hope to the thief not condemnation. Paradise is the third heaven, 2 Cor 12:4. Luke 23:43 Jesus answered him Truly I tell you today...

Altar profession? No bbyrd, I'm referring to belief in the heart. Rom 10:9 Actually, Matt 7:15-23 is referring to works salvation, the same doctrine that you abide to no? :rolleyes: Matt 7:22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons...

A believer's sin will not undo what Christ already died for Ernest. He died for the sinner not the Pharisee. Yes, they were never saved to begin with. They never had the indwelling Holy Spirit. Either you have the Holy Spirit or you do not. It's very simple. No, if John Doe was truly born...

Ernest, the seal is for those who have believed and confessed, Rom 10:9. The Gospel is simple, and yet you make it so hard. "When you believed (past tense)" you were marked in him with a seal. How long does this seal last, until redemption! Eph 1:13-14 And you also were included in Christ when...

Ernest, Jhn 3:36 is not a sanctification scripture, it's a salvation scripture. What is the testimony John is referring to here? Do we "conform" and change into a new creature upon salvation? God bless Jhn 3:32-33 He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony...

deeper hole? BOL, there's no holes where Christ is concerned, only freedom. Matt 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. God bless.
