Repentance necessary for salvation.

What doctrine are you attempting to purport? Universalism? Annihilationism? What?

You are not considering the concept that the verse in question may not apply to you. As @Truther might say, you could be robbing the saints of their mail. I am in agreement with you that if someone has a genuine faith, they will never cease to have faith. You are not the only one we are...

1) I believe that Jesus died for my sins (and you misrepresent me to say that I don't); and, 2) If you are redeemed through the gospel of 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, then you are justified by His blood (Romans 5:9). But if you are justified by His blood, you are also sanctified by it (Hebrews 13:12...

That is not scripture. And, it can be taken to mean that a person can ask Allah to save them and they will be saved; or that a person can ask God to save them apart from faith in Jesus Christ and they will be saved. False doctrine and heresy, I'm sorry to say.

Of course, the true grace of God isn't "greasy". This is the true grace of God. 1Pe 5:10, But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 1Pe 5:11, To him be glory and...

Of course, our understanding of this doesn't nullify other scriptures (such as Matthew 13:41-42, Matthew 13:49-50, Matthew 25:41, Matthew 25:46).

I don't believe that Pope Francis will succeed at bringing in a New World Order; Because I am contending in prayer for the Lord to usher in the age of Philadelphia; A time in which the Lord will set before the church an open door that no one can shut. An Antichrist regime will not be able to...

It won't work out well for you if you stop believing; even if it is your opinion that you can stop believing and you will still be saved. For, God's truth is not dependent on what you may or may not believe in.

Consider the following. Rom 6:22, But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Rom 6:23, For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The fact that the gift of...

No, it is saying that if I live and believe in Jesus, I will never die. The verse previous declares that a person can believe in Jesus, though he were dead (yet shall he live).

Are you coming from the perspective of a Mormon belief? Because even the book of mormon speaks of eternal conscious torment in hell; if I remember correctly from my reading of it.

There is no food period in hell; while there is hunger there; and physical bodies. They are subjects of eternal death; while they will have consciousness and conscious torment in that death (Luke 16:19-31).

Elaborate please. I think that the fact that sin, when it is fully-grown, brings forth death, means that if it does become fully-grown, that that person was not a recipient of the promise in John 11:26. They may have thought that they had eternal security because of it; but it turned out that...

It seems to me that the scriptures teach that the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross is a sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 10:12).

Most definitely (Matthew 13:41-42, Matthew 13:49-50, Matthew 25:41, Matthew 25:46; Matthew 7:13-14).

This scripture is to be understood in light of James 1:14-16, Jas 1:14, But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Jas 1:15, Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Jas 1:16, Do not err, my...

I have realized the truth that you have spoken of for quite some time. In fact, I have taught it from the scripture (Romans 4:5). This is the reality of Romans 4:5. We have an identity in Christ that we are the righteousness of the Lord in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21); even if or when we blow it...

True; and yet He gives the gift on the basis of our (continued) faith. We have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand (Romans 5:1-2). Consider it like this. Jesus gives us the key to a mansion as a gift; and through that key we have access to the mansion. If we lose or throw away...

So, if the saints are perfected and glorified, they are not saved? Are you attempting to say that a person can be saved apart from being predestinated? Because it would seem to me, that if predestination is for perfection and glorification, but not for salvation, that a man can be saved apart...
