    1 Thessalonians 5:3 is coming soon!

    Under the 6th Trumpet*, the only thing that is being arranged for the entirety of the Mid-East is KJV Rev. 9:13-21, aka the "wrath of satan", WW3. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israels-netanyahu-rejects-hamas-conditions-hostage-deal-which-include-outright-2024-01-21/ Under the 5th...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    " Long ago" in this thread was most likely addressed, but you can't recognize it. What post# are you referencing

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Only ALL, and they ONLY, who HAVE NOT the literal "Spirit of Christ" within them , shall end up in hell, aka eternal death!! "Ye MUST BE....born again", of the literal "Spirit of Christ", otherwise all of such who are not, will be lost forever.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    I never said anything of what you think that I am saying. Please, get a grip, because if you hear anything at all, of all that I have said in this forum, it's ALWAYS: "ye must be born again", which is directly connected to Rom. 8:9. "Whosoever hath not the Spirit of Christ, is none of his"...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Let's both stop running in circles and get to the point, concerning Rom. 8:8-9 and Luke 13:27-28, by focussing on John 3:3-8. Though Jesus was speaking directly to the Jews in Luke, Romans 8:8-9 speaks to all people, as to who the "workers of iniquity" really are through John 3:3-8. [5] Jesus...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Therefore, all professing Christians should heed the advice of Paul, and then take inventory through Rom. 8:8-9, of HOW each are STANDING by faith, according to 1 Cor. 2:5. Is our personal faith standing in/by the wisdom of men or in/by the authority of the Holy Spirit and what he teaches? The...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Rom. 7:14-25 [18] For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. [24] O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the [mortal] body of this death? [25] I thank God through Jesus...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Honestly GP, why are you struggling and fretting over the Grace of God through faith in Jesus. Do you fear that if you commit sin, that you are not going to be saved? Don't you know that your faith in the shed blood of Christ has made you to be "sin-LESS" (perfect) before God the Father, and...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    I agree with your scripture references, but as for what you want to deliver from them, you are coming through the wisdom of men, and not the authority of the Holy Spirit. 1 Cor. 2:5. You know, "...comparing spiritual things with spiritual". God thinks in the past, present and future, all at...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    But....in your lack of willingness to understand, there is only that ONE sin that NEVER has forgiveness. All other sins, that are common to men, SHALL BE FORGIVEN. Therein is the "Peace of God that passes ALL understanding". Phil. 4 [4] Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. [5]...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    It is apparent that your belief system is heavily focused on the words of Heb. 10:26-27, having no understanding of the verses following in context: verses 28-38, of which in a previous post, I clearly spelled out HOW a person can sin wilfully, and what THAT ONE sin is, which never has...

    PAST-Millennialism

    Interesting perspective. As an Amil believer, I have come to understand that the 144,000, are a symbolic number of those OC. saints who were "under the altar", who had died in faith, waiting for "the Promise to come". We see them as being those that were written in "a book of remembrance" in...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    It's simply this, through faith in Christ, and His shed blood, I am made to be perfect in the Father's eyes. I am not under condemnation any longer. By the Gift of God's Holy Spirit within me, I KNOW that I now have eternal life.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Hurling accusations isn't going deter me or anyone else, who do understand how it is that born again Christians offer up "spiritual sacrifices", by presenting their bodies as a living sacrifice for God to transform us into the characteristics of Christ, by the renewing of our minds, through the...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    What are the "good deeds" called, that are performed by Christ within us? See Gal. 5:22

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    All that I am saying, is scriptural!! Unfortunately, you want to view the scriptures as 100% literal, whereas I am applying the scriptures through that which the Holy Spirit teaches, as Paul conveyed in 1 Cor. 2[5] That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    The "good works" ARE the "good Fruit", which are the attributes and character of God, being the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Gal. 5 [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. [24] And...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    The Gift of the Holy Spirit of God to usward, IS THE very vehicle of the GIFT of Eternal life. "Well doing" does not and will not ever bring to us the Gift eternal life, because the Gift is FREELY GIVEN to all who trust in Jesus for their salvation. I don't think you fully understand 1 John...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    So then, by the Grace of God alone, through faith in Jesus Christ, God HAS saved you. Evidently, you don't believe that of God, but rather believe that by you doing good works, you shall save yourself, by way of another gospel of your belief. To believe in Jesus, is to TRUST Him at His word...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    OUR salvation is a FREE GIFT from God the Father Himself, and He (Jesus) is given to us without God repenting THAT He did. That GIFT is Jesus Christ Himself, who is of Elohim, being that of The Father and Son, together as ONE GOD. John 1:1, 14; 3:16. Now, for every person who RECEIVES The...
