It's typically those who think they had something to do to be saved who generally believe they can be lost. Since the work of salvation could not have been accomplished without their effort, then their effort can wane and they can again become lost. Sad really!

How can a believer stop believing having the Holy Spirit of Christ within you? The Spirit within is always testifying of Christ to our spirit. John 15:25-26 (KJV) But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. But when...

The conditional statements apply only to those who are among believers, who are in fact liars and deceivers! Remember the wheat and tares grow together until the end of days. We are warned again and again not to be deceived by those tares pretending to be wheat.

Unbelief is not being lost, it's never having been found! You can't lose something you never possessed!

I have come to feel the same way regarding how little you understand of biblical doctrine. I won't be wasting any more time replying to you because you have not at this point in time ears to hear or eyes to see. You have become too indoctrinated by false teachers!

Who are you arguing against? The Word of God was given to man that they might know Him and come to glorify Him! The Word gives man not only a historical record from the beginning of creation, but it is also a record from the beginning of Redemptive History. It is through study of the whole...

Why would it say to the Gentiles? Gentiles are not saints, or brethren of Christ and would not be counted among the faithful. The Gentiles among the faithful at Colosse would have been called saints and brethren in Christ. Paul is speaking to mostly Gentile converts to Christianity, calling...

You continue to bring forth these arguments that are of no consequence for those who are being saved. You appear to be stoking derision rather than unity of faith and doctrine??? It makes no sense to argue we no longer belong to nations, tribes, kindreds and tongues when we become Christians...

This is ALL true....IF you are speaking of those who die in UNBELIEF! They are the DEAD who know nothing after breathing their last, they are silent in the grave and in darkness until an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds and they are resurrected to damnation! John 5:28-29 (KJV)...

Christians come from all the nations of the world. We don't lose our ethnicity when we become Christians, even as we identify as being Christians and one body, one Church, one holy people in Him, we still retain our ethnic heritage. You seem to be confusing the way Christians are to see one...

Yes, and this Christ Jesus our Lord came through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and that is written in the New Testament. The man came of human lineage, the Divine came of God. Matthew 1:1 (KJV) The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Luke 3:34-38...

You do understand that it is through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that the Seed (Christ) was born? And it is by having faith like that of Abraham's that man believes in Christ for eternal life???

And your point is??? There are many Gentile believers, here are two examples of this truth. Will you deny that Gentiles that believe in Christ are indeed Gentile believers? That simply makes a distinction between Jews, who before Christ believed that salvation was for them alone, and non-jews...

I hear no one denying that Jesus was fully human! What Christians deny is that He was not also fully God incarnate, or God in human flesh!

Are you another Jehovah's Witness that comes to a Christian community to deny the deity of Christ? God humbled Himself by taking on the form of a human, becoming like us, but never did He depart from being God. There is only one means for whereby man may be saved! That is through God alone...

Who do you think Paul is writing his epistle to those Romans are? The Church was primarily Gentile believers, who are indeed called 'Christians'. The whole context of the letter to the Church at Rome is about Christianity or as you say about "Christian concepts". Explaining that there is in...

Who has said "we are all Jews or Gentiles"? Paul does not, and neither have I heard others here say this. What Paul and some of us are saying is that just because one is ethnically Jewish does not mean they belong to "the Israel of God." Paul shows us that Israel exists as not only an ethnic...

While it's true that much of what is written of Old was for the nation of Israel, it's a mistake to limit what is written there to only them. I'm not sure what you are speaking of when you say, "we cannot mix them". I assume you mean what is written regarding the Old Covenant Laws and prophets...

All Israel cannot be an ethnic people since they are ALL saved only by the fulness of the Gentiles being grafted into the same good olive tree of faith with them. That makes ALL Israel people of faith from every nation of the world. The Covenant that is through the seed of Jacob (Christ) is...

The prophets of Old write of all things that are written being fulfilled through the Messiah who was to come. Therefore, the prophecies are to saints of all nations both before and after the advent of Christ coming to earth a man. It is in trying to lock the prophecies of Old to be directed to...
