    "fall". they do not stand by faith because they fall over the fact that their faith is erroneous. Therefore your previous contention is false; and Romans 11:20-22 is about born again believers.

    No, they do not stand by faith. If their doctrine isn't sound, and if they depart from sound doctrine on essential issues, they are not saved; so they do not stand by faith.

    Actually the opposite is true....I have refuted @Blood Bought 1953 time and time again; while all he can do is resort to ad hominem attacks for the most part. He also will appeal to what popular Christianity teaches as if that were authoritative, instead of quoting or referencing the word of the...

    It truly is a relationship; but religion is not entirely absent from its precepts.

    Once Saved Always Saved

    We do keep ourselves (1 John 5:18) by the power of God (1 Peter 1:5).

    Once Saved Always Saved

    In the past, I have not measured up fully to Matthew 5:27-30. Doing better in recent days. But I know that I still need to heed the warning of 1 Corinthians 10:12-13.

    We are not obligated to walk after the flesh (Romans 8:12-13); and we do not have to fail at living a holy, Christian life (Jude 1:24, 2 Peter 1:10, 1 John 2:10).

    In verse 20 it says that they "stand by faith". These are not born again believers?

    That is what popular Christianity teaches. However, Where in the Bible does it say that there is no religion in Christianity? I think that if you look carefully, you will find the opposite. Jas 1:27, Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and...

    There is nothing wrong with doing God's will "intentionally". To try to say otherwise is to engage in absurdity.

    John 5:24 (kjv) applies to those who have a heart faith that is unto righteousness (Romans 10:10) and enduring to the end (Matthew 10:22, Hebrews 3:6, Hebrews 3:14). Those who have a nominal, shallow, or lukewarm faith (mere mental assent to the tenets of the gospel) can fall away (Luke 8:13)...

    Seems like @Blood Bought 1953 has also suddenly vacated the premises tonight.

    Obviously, no answer from @Blood Bought 1953. Either he is not an OSASer (I find that highly doubtful) or else he cannot confess that he is a Christian; because he knows he isn't one. Notice that I did not specifically say that he is not a Christian.

    What does it mean to love? See Romans 13:8-10, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6 for the answer.

    I am a Christian...but I do not subscribe to OSAS but am more closely identified with POTS.

    Yes, and I find that the very person who posted the OP reveals himself by what he does not say...or, at least, what he used to not say. Now what he says reveals him as a Tare. In that he teaches that repentance is not really needed for salvation...that you can be a worker / doer of iniquity...

    And, of course, it is important that we also resist the devil when he tries to tempt us. Jas 4:7, Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 1Co 10:12, Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 1Co 10:13, There hath no temptation...
