We each believe the way we do for our own reasons based on the light or truth God has revealed to us. It’s nothing personal. In fact, I am commanded to love all people. But I simply disagree with Protestant Belief Alone Salvationism because it simply is not taught in God’s Word. We are first...

Yes, but my attack is primarily on Belief Alone Salvationism (Which makes up the vast majority of Protestantism). I am not saying ALL denominations in Protestantism holds to Belief Alone Salvationism, but most of them do (Which is evident by looking at this list here) and then looking to see if...

First, I am not the only one who believes the way I do. There are other people who believe the Bible the same way I do because they are just reading the Bible plainly. Second, if a person were to read the Bible plainly for themselves they will believe the truth, as well. No Bible Highlighter...

So the Bible verses I provided are not true doctrine?

#4. Both Jesus and Paul taught that we have to continue to abide in the good works of the Lord or we will be cut off and or burned in the fire. Jesus said, 4 "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in...

Paul is talking about their past forgiveness of when they first came to the Lord Jesus for salvation, and He is not referring to the fact that they are forgiven by Jesus even if they continue to not forgive others. For if Paul spoke contrary to the words of the Lord Jesus Christ, he would be...

I am nothing. Christ is everything. I am just a messenger of God’s Word. I am just relaying to you what His Word says. If you believe I am not relaying His word correctly, then feel free to prove your case with the Bible.

I can say the same for you. A loophole in my opinion would be in one’s favor for their benefit. I am merely telling you what the Bible says plainly that is not popular to hear (Which is not a loophole to my benefit). For Jesus said narrow is the way (Matthew 7:14). Jesus said strive to...

Glory be unto the Lord Jesus for any good done in my life.

I did not write the Bible, and so anything that I have learned it is from the Bible. The Bible teaches that when Adam sinned, his eyes were opened to his nakedness. This means Adam died spiritually when he disobeyed God’s one command. When Ananias and Sapphira lied to the Spirit they died...

Most Protestants or Belief Alone Salvationists I have talked with over the years use 1 John 1:8 as a banner flag they wave high in the air to say that they are not perfect and that they will always sin on some level (Although it does not mean they will be a practicing axe murderer, a street...

It is written: “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.” (John 15:10). “If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be under a curse. Come, O Lord!” (1 Corinthians 16:22) (Berean Study Bible). Luke 10:25-28 25...

I am curious, my friend. What does IFS stand for?

You have a talent for creative writing, sister. Hopefully the satire (along with sharing Scripture) will be like a cold splash of water to at least wake up one or two of them to see the truth of God's Word. In the meantime, I believe we should pray in love for those who do believe this way...

But you are not really explaining your viewpoint on what 1 John 1:8 means, though. As for chastening: Chastening is not a magic cure all bullet for all believers because some have been hardened by the deceitfulness of sin and departed from the living God as Hebrews 3 warns us. Yes, chastening...

Well, being born again is a past event that happens when we first accept Jesus Christ as our Savior. But just because somebody has been born into this world does not mean that they cannot die. In this case, if one sins the type of sins that the Bible attaches with warnings of hellfire and...

I fellow brother of mine in Canada believes 1 John 1:8 is referring to the sin nature and not us actually sinning. He believes that if we say we have no sin [i.e. sin nature], we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But that does not mean we cannot crucify the sin nature (i.e. the...

What is helpful in understanding 1 John 1:8 is looking at its immediate context. 1 John 1:10 says if we say we have not sinned. 1 John 1:10 switches gears from 1 John 1:8 in regards to time; John talks about the declaration on committing sin in verse 8 (which is present tense) to a declaration...

Yes. I say… “your camp” because you don’t appear to agree with me on what the Bible says in regards to sin and or salvation. According to this thread here, you appear to believe in a form of OSAS (Which is not what the Bible even remotely teaches). Practically almost every page of your Bible...

It’s the Words of Scripture along with the working of God that saves men and not the actual preacher. The preacher is just relaying what God’s Word says and God is using them to do His work. Also, preaching by word of mouth (in person) is not the only effective method for God’s Word to have an...
