Paul clearly makes obedience to God necessary in one being saved, Rom 6:16-18 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of...

I cited verses that clearly shows man has a role in his own salvation and that role is obedience..... Christ is the Author of salvation unto all them that OBEY Him, Heb 5:9. seeing ye have purified your souls How? by OBEYING the truth 1 Pet 1:22 Obedience is not a work of merit, obedience...

The Bible does NOT teach UNconditional salvation of the sinner or UNconditional salvation of the Christian.

Acts 2:40 save yourselves 2 Cor 7:1 cleansed ourselves Jude 1:21 keep yourselves in the love of God James 4:7 submit yourselves therefore to God James 4:8 Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded 1 Pet 1:22 ye have purified your souls 2 Pet 1:10 give diligence to...

Any "teaching" (regardless of what that teaching is called whether it's called OSAS or POTS,) that claims salvation is 100 percent UNconditional has no Bible basis. God never promised salvation is UNconditional hence God cannot break a promise He never made. No verse teaches that a sinner is...

The NT does not teach the idea that the HS somehow miraculously "illuminates' the understanding of man. Again, Paul told those in Ephesus when ye READ ye may understand. Paul said NOTHING about the HS illuminating men's understanding apart from man hearing/reading/ learning the written word of...

If people cannot have a correct understanding of the Bible then salvation becomes impossible. Ignorance of the Bible cannot save......'my people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge', Hos 4:6. Paul says his brethren in the flesh, the Jews, were lost for lack of knowledge' Rom 10:3. Anyone can...

OSAS had its beginning in the Garden of Eden... God: in the day ye eat of ye SHALL surely die Satan: ye SHALL NOT surely die Augustine is also credited with the false teaching of original sin which he derived from the Gnostics. The Gnostics believed all flesh was inherently evil, therefore...

This was only spoken to the Apostles. There are many, even on this forum, who CLAIM the HS gives them knowledge but look at how they all contradict each other over matters of NT doctrine. The HS would not create these contradictions for God/HS cannot lie. In Ephesians, Paul told them when...

No, there is no unity in denominationalism. But my question is about the written word of God, is the claim being made it cannot ever be understood correctly?

Since those who hear AND obey are blessed, then what does that say about those who hear and do not obey? (Matt 7:26-27; 2 Thess 1:8)

I agree that no one can fully understand God, cannot fully understand His power, His Providence, His all knowing abilities. But I am specifically speaking about the word of God. Are you claiming God's written word can never be understood correctly by man?

For clarity, are you implying no one can ever have an accurate, correct understanding of the Bible?

Questions: If my understanding of scripture will never be complete then 'other people's' understanding will equally never be complete. Then how/why should I be open to "other people's" correction and instruction when their understanding is equally not complete as my understanding? How does...

I see that the term sinner is used in at least 2 senses in the NT 1) all of us are a sinner in the sense that we will not live a flawless, perfect moral life. 2) sinner is also used in the present tense (1 Jn 3:8)...'he that committeth sin is of the devil' .....present tense 'committeth' refers...

"Faith aloners", as you say, try to eliminate any and all works from salvation therefore they refuse to see there is a difference between works, that is, all works according to the Bible are not alike. They refuse to acknowledge that works of merit and obedience to God are two different types...

Rom 7:7-9 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was...

Again, I showed from Rom 4:11 that circumcision was a seal and that seal would be broken (circumcision made uncircumcision) if the Jews would not obey (Rom 2:25). The Jews thought that since they were descendants of Abraham that meant unconditional, automatic salvation for them, that God must...

Here is the core error of your belief system in that your are trying to substitute faith onlyism for what the Bible teaches about obedience. ---Obedience to Christ is how one is saved....Paul said in Rom 6:16 "obedience unto righteousness" hence no obedience to God leaves one UNRIGHTEOUS and...

OSAS falsely claims salvation is unconditional, that is, salvation cannot be lost under any circumstance as the Bsptist preachrrs I quoted have shown. Since salvation is conditional upon an obedient faith, then one must CONDITIONALLY remain faithful to God for falling from faith one no longer...
