    In Defense of OSAS – Why "Once Saved, Always Saved" Is the Heart of the Gospel

    The robust doubts some harbor against God's ability to apply the Power of His transforming of the saved soul through sanctification, that is a remarkable departure from scripture in the minds of those who take such great pride in their fleshly thinking that they have some sort of power within...

    In Defense of OSAS – Why "Once Saved, Always Saved" Is the Heart of the Gospel

    Then you must believe that the seal of Holy Spirit is weak and ineffective to actually do as it states...to SEAL one. This alone pretty much shows which belief is of the devil. That there is no power with the ability to snatch even one from His Hand, you must believe in a christ with very weak...

    MY GOSPEL

    Conventional thinking in Christianity is that the Twelve taught the exact same thing as Paul. People generally believe Paul comes along later because he's rebellious—he’s persecuting the church in early Acts—but then the Lord appears to him, Paul gets saved, and he just becomes another member of...

    In Defense of OSAS – Why "Once Saved, Always Saved" Is the Heart of the Gospel

    The error of this post is its blanket condemnation of all belief in everlasting salvation apart from works of the flesh and the mind. The mindset behind blanket denials for the seal of Holy Spirit upon us is itself steeped in human pride and fleshly earning of not only continued salvation, but...

    Anyone accusing you of “Replacement Theology” is defending the spirit of Antichrist.

    Seriously? That's what YOU think He meant when He stated that it was finished? Do you even know what the covenant is...the NEW covenant? Your post is wrong in so many ways, and an insult to us who are Israeli watching Gentiles trying to whisk away our heritage that was established through...

    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    Isn't ever going to happen. What I mean by that is that ugly and horrific word we all know...tradition. The institutional model is a creation of men, and thus this need for "improvement." You Gentile Protestants don't realize just how Roman Catholic you really are in at least form and...

    In Defense of OSAS – Why "Once Saved, Always Saved" Is the Heart of the Gospel

    I've seen the arguments against OSAS indeed lapse into the absurdity of this belief we have in the solidity of our salvation allegedly leading to rank enjoyment of sinful pleasures and acts, et al. Strangely, those who subscribe to that never talk about their own sins that they commit every day...

    Not Contradictions but Rather Dispensations

    James: Justification by works Key Text: James 2:24 – "Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only." ✅ Context of James: Audience: “The twelve tribes scattered abroad” (James 1:1) — believing Jews. Concern: Not showing faith and justification by works—saying you...

    Age of Accountability

    [Ransom for the Soul – Exodus 30] This next one is particularly strong. Go to Exodus 30:11–15. “When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel… they shall give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD…” Verse 14: “Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty...

    Age of Accountability

    [Age 20: The Age of War and Service] Let’s look at Numbers chapter 1. Verse 3: “From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war...” Verse 20: “Every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war.” So Numbers 1 tells us the age at which a...

    Age of Accountability

    View 1: There is No Age of Accountability This view holds that even infants are accountable. Here’s the reasoning behind it: People are saved only by faith in Christ. If an infant—or even a miscarried child—has not placed faith in Christ, then they are not saved. Therefore, such children are...

    Age of Accountability

    Matthew chapter 12. The subject is the age of accountability—specifically, what the age of accountability is during this day. To begin with, the phrase "age of accountability" never actually appears in the Scriptures. There’s no such phrase recorded. In fact, the word "accountability" itself...

    OSAS from the Gnostics

    I agree with you that it's best to tuck tail and run, because none of us has any hope of entering the earthly kingdom because the kingdom isn't for us who are of the body of Christ. The kingdom will be ruled over by Israel. We in the body of Christ are destined for Heavenly places, not the...

    OSAS from the Gnostics

    The RCC has long since chosen Peter as their apostle, not Paul, who was THE apostle to the Gentiles and to Jews today, which is almost all of them and most here. The RCC following rejects what Jesus of the Bible established as THE apostle to the Gentiles. The fabricated Jesus' of the world and...

    OSAS from the Gnostics

    Indeed? Your one-liners bereft of scriptural backing shows just how weak your position really is. Please see above that I am not the one who said anything about the death of Christ being the basis for all people being saved. That must have been someone else that the second half of your post...

    OSAS from the Gnostics

    Restating statements into a context of your own making is less than a genuine handling of scripture or any other statement made by someone else. Let's look at that small statement you ripped from its context to try and couch it into a context of your own invention: Philippians 2:5-16 5 Let...

    OSAS from the Gnostics

    Then please show to us a graph or some other pictorial, graphic representation as to where that line of alleged loss is positioned. Can you at least do that so that we understand at what you are pointing? You've said nothing at all that carries with it any measure of substance that we can...

    OSAS from the Gnostics

    Who in this group knows someone who allegedly lost his or her salvation? How did you prove to yourself they had lost it? Who here is going to claim he or she has lost his or her salvation in the past? How did you prove to yourself that you had allegedly lost your salvation? Is it based on...
