    When are you going to come to your senses? Man can choose Christ for salvation and he can for whatever reason reject that salvation by no longer believing! No faith = no salvation! How hard is that to understand? We have shown you over and over again, but you will not accept it! But really...

    They refuse to see it! My Lord, what does it take for you to see? Read this verse carefully and you will see that a righteous person (saved) can lose his salvation. He does it through going back to the sins he committed before he was saved, thereby proving he no longer believes. This is NOT...

    LOL, total denial! Reminds me of my fundamental friends, whom I love, but are so wrong!

    If what you say is true, the common word for knowledge "gnosis" would have been used! No my friend, Paul used exactly the word he intended to address what you refuse to believe!

    Two Types Of Repenters That Find Damnation

    Well said BB. It's going to be very difficult for some folks on this forum to understand what you have said. They will take out of context your view on repentance, watch and see!

    John also said "if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves." 1 John 1:8 You must take his statements in context. The translators did not do us justice in some cases. For example, Does not commit sin, actually means "does not practice sin." The context makes it clear he is not speaking of...

    That's because Calvin did a great job of making it stick. OSAS was ground into the fabric many years ago, those old Baptist/Calvinist are fading away, but the effects of what they grounded themselves in is alive and well. Look, you can believe whatever you like, I'm sticking with what I'm sure...

    I'm an Independent Baptist, I know first hand the Calvinist roots of osas in those ranks. Spurgeon, who they pattern themselves after admitted at heart he was a Calvinist. I know for a fact the belief of osas in the protestant ranks came from Calvin. He was not the first to believe this, but...

    OSAS came from the theory of irresistible grace taught by the Calvinists! If you believe man cannot lose his salvation you are a part of that theory!

    Answer the question and let's see if you are a Calvinist! Simple isn't it! You can prove it, but you won't! It's incriminating if you do! So much for your osas doctrine!

    Seems to me I've seen your kind of groups around here and there. If we don't believe what you say is truth, how is it possible for us to be saved? For you, the only truth comes from your blessed group of believers! You won't even answer my question, or engage to prove yourself! The only fact...

    Thanks for the compliments EG, your love for your fellow Brother is breathtaking. Your example of Christlikeness is an encouragement for all of us!

    I would bring you to the reality of fallen man, there is no such thing as no sinning this side of the grave. We can reach the point of no known sin in our lives, that is, no practicing sin, but sinless perfection which obviously you are teaching is a lie. Paul himself said he was not perfect...

    I have the sin nature that dwells inside me, but by my faith in Christ and relationship with Him, sin will not have dominion over me, meaning as long as I exercise my faith in the Cross of Christ, the sin nature will not have dominion, or control me. I am saved by the grace of God but I am not...

    I don't know jbf! I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree, in fact, you and many others here are much more intelligent than myself. I'm just a sinner saved by grace, forever in debt to my Saviour, all I know is what He has taught me, and allowed me to know. If that is what you have said, I agree.

    You can state it any way you like, but if you lose faith in Christ along the way, and hold to that, you ain't gonna make it, period!

    Well then, answer this, do you believe a person can refuse to believe in Christ after he is saved? If you say no, then you have taken the belief of Calvinism, irresistible grace! If you say yes, then do you think that the faith he once had that saved him, which he no longer has, will continue...

    In 1 Tmothy 2:4, "Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." Knowledge is the same word "epignosis" as used in Hebrews 10:26, "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins," It...

    It might help if you explain yourself! But don't go to slandering you, I think you have done plenty of that on your own! If you can't explain yourself and want me to read your mind, then yes, good say sir!

    According to you I am a false prophet in need of repentance, BUT we didn't disagree on anything? I'm accustomed to having conversation with those who are living in the present reality of life!
