    God’s grace, plus the believer’s part: enduring faith, works, obedience!

    Yes, but the new and better (new) covenant IS such because of the precious indwelling Holy Spirit, whose job it is to bring us home. But, we can reject what Jesus has done and what the Holy Spirit is trying to do! However, most believers today think that He is just trying to get us to merit...

    God’s grace, plus the believer’s part: enduring faith, works, obedience!

    Believers in the Laodicean church (Rev 3) today do not believe there are any conditions involved in their salvation. They do not believe they have any accountability at all. The credit for this appalling state of affairs in today's church goes directly to Satan working through the church...

    I already have done so, but you chose to ignore them (as does almost everyone).

    God’s grace, plus the believer’s part: enduring faith, works, obedience!

    Then why is there a multitude of NT passages which warn of losing salvation, i.e. eternal life? Ergo, you must be saying that God removes salvation from some believers. Yes, I agree ... in the final analysis, salvation does depend on God alone! Thanks for pointing out that fact ... 'twas very...

    God’s grace, plus the believer’s part: enduring faith, works, obedience!

    The NT Scriptures teach that salvation comes from more than faith. Salvation comes through those things which proceed from faith. Faith without works is dead. Everyone insists on ignoring Paul's warning in Romans 6 ... faith >> obedience >> righteousness >> holiness >> eternal life Many think...

    God’s grace, plus the believer’s part: enduring faith, works, obedience!

    Sorry, the NT Scriptures stand opposed to this false OSAS idea ... where one can think they're saved whilst carrying on happily in their sins. God HATES sin ... and habitual unrepentant sinners (including believers) will NOT inherit eternal life. 1 John 1 instructs believers to repent to have...

    About Hebrews' warning: Do not draw back to perdition

    Yes, thanks for this vote of agreement.

    God’s grace, plus the believer’s part: enduring faith, works, obedience!

    We could start here ... Matthew 7: 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done...

    God’s grace, plus the believer’s part: enduring faith, works, obedience!

    The ATP ... "Non-osas are actually those who are following false doctrine, depending on the law to save them." I must be out of my mind by responding to the ATP, but we all have our weak moments ... He always insists on ignoring the multitude of warnings in the NT about losing salvation. IMO...

    About Hebrews' warning: Do not draw back to perdition

    Again, thou hast succeeded in blowing my mind ... Thanks!

    About Hebrews' warning: Do not draw back to perdition

    The distinguished author of Hebrews gives 5 big-time warnings to born-again brethren (and back in those days, many/most of them were also baptized with the Holy Spirit). One of the 5 warnings is this intreging passage … Hebrews 10 (NKJV): 19 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the...

    God’s grace, plus the believer’s part: enduring faith, works, obedience!

    Saving faith results in obedience! Matthew 19: 16 Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?” 17 So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the...

    The whole of the NT explains how salvation is obtained

    IMO, most of us believe it is the Holy Spirit.

    The whole of the NT explains how salvation is obtained

    The wrath of God has zero to do with the antichrist ... it is poured out on the last day of the Day of the Lord.

    The whole of the NT explains how salvation is obtained

    Guess you haven't heard of the pre-trib rapture doctrine. What cave dost thou reside in anyway? I've lost track ... [comment removed.]

    The whole of the NT explains how salvation is obtained

    What is the point of warning "believers" that they will be going to hell, if they continue with their habitual unrepentant sinning? Gee, I don't really know ... perhaps you might explain it to me! Another related issue ... Many (most?) believers who are trusting in being raptured out of here...

    Destroying your understanding of a most favorite salvation passage

    Yes, Jesus said He came not to do away with the law, but to uphold it. Paraphrased.

    Destroying your understanding of a most favorite salvation passage

    Thanks, butski I did that a long time ago!

    The sin of unbelief

    Thanks, I didn't realize that those Hornets were part of the Godhead, nor did I realize that the Israelites were wondering why their desserts got spoiled.
