This is silly. Hebrews 3:6, and Hebrews 3:14 uses the word “we” (Which include the author of Hebrews in the conversation who is a believer). So your attempt to undo these verses is not right. Then again, you won’t have to answer to me ultimately but the Lord one day (on how you changed the...

Well said, sister.

To all: Works makes our faith perfect (James 2:22), and a faith without works is dead (James 2:17). A dead faith cannot save anyone. This is why James also says that we are justified by works and not by faith alone (James 2:24). Paul is referring to Initial Salvation (Being saved by God’s...

This passage below is not referring to the tribulation period, and it is saying we have to remain stedfast in our faith until the end to be a partaker of Christ. “...We are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end.” (Hebrews 3:13-14). In other...

To all: I believe the Bible plainly teaches that a Christian has to meet the bare minimum level requirement of holiness to be saved (After they are first saved by God's grace through faith in Christ and the gospel mentioned in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4). A Christian cannot justify sins that the...

For what is the way we can know Jesus? By keeping His commandments (See: 1 John 2:3). Yet, the person who says they know the Lord and they do not keep His commandments, they are a liar and the truth is not in them (See: 1 John 2:4). Jesus is the way the truth and the life (John 14:6). So the...

To all: There are two ways to interpret Matthew 7:23 when Jesus said, “I never knew you.” Interpretation #1. A believer accepts the false Jesus that they can sin and still be saved on some level from the very beginning. I did not think this was possible, but it is true. Someone on this forum...

So you believe you are… “….always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.” ? (See: 2 Timothy 3:7). So you believe you… “…resist the truth:” ? So you believe you are included in being among … “men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.” ? (See 2 Timothy 3:8).

This sounds like a nice Protestant Belief Alone Salvationist fantasy, but it simply is not the Bible (interpreted correctly), or the reality of how things truly are. We are told: “...We are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end.” (Hebrews...

Hebrews 11:24-26 says, [24] By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; [25] Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; [26] Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than...

To all: There are those who deny the text in both the English and sometimes the original languages. 1 Corinthians 12:4 proves that tongues is a gift. Then there are those who focus a laser beam on one verse or passage in the Bible while they ignore other verses. For example: Some focus a...

Yes. I meant 2 Timothy 3:1-9. Which individuals do you think that this could be referring to? I see it as fake believers who deceive. See 2 Timothy 3:13.

In other words, you make it sound like the gate or entrance is a wide gate and not a narrow gate. Jesus says many will try to enter and not be able to (Luke 13:24). This is why Jesus says not everyone who says unto me Lord Lord will enter the Kingdom of Heaven but he that does the will of my...

Do you see all religions as valid? Do you see all believers who simply say they believe in Jesus are saved? If so… what about George Sodini? I also cannot unlearn what I know from what the Bible says. I am merely talking from my own experience and knowledge from God’s Word (Which you are not...

To all: Many people either believe in one wrong extreme or the other. Some believe it is all a belief alone in Jesus and or the gospel message in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 that saves and that is all we have to do to be saved forever (i.e. Perpetual Belief Alone Salvationism). Others wrongfully...

To all: Some try to twist Revelation 3:5 to say that it is not referring to spiritual death. However, people just fail to read and believe the context if they believe Revelation 3:5 is dealing with physical death only. The whole context is dealing with how this church is spiritually dead...

I believe the Bible teaches two aspects of salvation (we need to be concerned about). #1. Saved by God’s grace through faith without works (Initial Salvation) (Ephesians 2:8-9). #2. Sanctification of the Holy Spirit to live a holy life and be fruitful (Secondary Aspect of Salvation) (2...

So you are asking people to not use their Bible? Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine and instruction in righteousness so that the man of God may be perfect unto all good works (2 Timothy...

There are other believers like me even in this thread who have a problem with Perpetual Belief Alone Salvationism. Just look at the likes on my OP, as well. So what you say does not make sense, my friend.

Yes, I see this as Paul condemning how we cannot keep the many laws within the Law of Moses like the necessity of keeping circumcision, dietary laws, sabbaths, holy days, etcetera. We are not under the Old Law but we are under the laws of Christ. I also see this as Paul referring to our...
