Hello @quietthinker, (@St. SteVen) This does look like a good plumbline by which to measure what is true doctrine and what is false. For the person and the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, now risen and glorified, and sat at God's right hand, the position of great power and authority: is the...

Subject Heading:- What Makes A Doctrine False? (5) The "Bible" says it is false. (other biblical opinions don't matter) Hello @St. SteVen, My reason for considering a doctrine false, is that it does not align with what the scriptures say (point No.5): taking into consideration context and...

Hello @nedsk, (re:- your response (above) to reply #1966) Will you please explain what faith is not sufficient for, and give the Scriptures you refer to. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Faith alone is not sufficient. Scripture is clear in that point. Hello @nedsk, Would you please explain what you mean by this? That faith alone is not sufficient? Not sufficient for what exactly? In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @GodsGrace, It is not for you to place doubt upon the security of my position in Christ. My 'staying the course' as you say has nothing to do with the surety of my position in Christ. My love grew cold on more than one occasion, and I drifted away, sadly, to my own loss; but God...

Hello @GodsGrace, * The believer, by God's reckoning, has died with Christ, and is now walking before God in newness of life, in the spirit. * With respect, you fail to acknowledge the power of God in this regard. 'Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also...

'Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.' (Joh 3:5-6) Hello @GodsGrace, There is a figure of speech...

Hello @God'sGrace, Thank you for your response. I cannot deny that it is possible for someone to fall away: but I do believe by personal experience as well as by the word of God, that if God has begun a work in you, He will continue to do it until the day of Christ. I was twelve years of age...

'Wherefore, my beloved, .. as ye have always obeyed, .... not as in my presence only, ...... but now much more in my absence, ........ work out your own salvation .......... with fear and trembling. ............ For it is God which worketh in you .............. both to will and to do of...

Hello @GodsGrace, Someone who has been truly born from above, is 'in' Christ, God Himself has placed Him there (1 Cor. 1:30-31) and is walking in newness of life before the Father, in spirit. The question of the thread is, 'Is it possible to lose salvation? I believe that if God has begun a...

Subject Heading:- 'Is It Possible To Lose Salvation'. 'But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, Who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.' (1Cor. 1:30-31) Salvation is...

Hello @Truly, I have no idea why you are being targeted, not having read your previous posts. It should not be necessary to resort to personal attack, and I am sorry that you have become the victim of it. If an example were posted, then a defence could be made, but it is all conjectural it...

'For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom He will. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not...

'For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.' (Rom 6:23) Hello @nedsk: 'For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.' (Rom 11:29) Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

'If ye love Me, keep My commandments.' (Joh 14:15) 'If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love.' (Joh 15:10) Hello @LoveYeshua, 'This is My commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.' (Joh...

Hello @loveYeshua, The commandments were not given to the Gentiles, and we are not bound by a covenant to keep them. The Lord will forgive the iniquity of Israel, and remember their sins no more, when they come to repentance. Praise God! The new covenant is in abeyance at this time, and...

Subject Heading:- 'Paul's Gospel', 'When Christ, Who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory.' (Col 3:4) Hello @dak, Thank you for letting me see your findings. I tend to stick closely to what is written, for fear of saying anything that is not in accord with...

'God, Who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, Whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by Whom also He made the worlds;' (Heb 1:1-2) Hello @Behold, Yes, this principle (2 Tim. 2:15)...

Hello @The Gospel of Christ, I don't need to have my theology weighed and measured thank you. In the flesh, if weighed in the balance, I would be found wanting I am sure: but by the grace of God I am walking in the spirit, so I no longer fear those scales. Christ is the beginning, middle and...

Hello @Behold, They come in many guises I believe: The most deceptive being when coated with a veneer of love, like wolves in sheep's clothing. In order to deceive what they say and how they present themselves must be such that it counterfeits true faith so closely that it is difficult to...
