    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Thank you for saying that. Yes, I think there is a point where we have to let it go with them (By God's leading). But I also believe in taking a stand for the truth of God's Word not just really for them (although I do hold out hope in my prayers that at least one or two may change at some...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    I believed in OSAS for like an hour or two (Because of the words of Pastor at a church), and then when I went home to examine it more with Scripture, I knew it was instantly false. In fact, the more I examined it over the years, my list of verses only grew more, and more against OSAS. But...

    I agree. Well said, sister. I think we need to pray like never before for those who are into this kind of thing knee deep. Only God can truly break the strong holds that has wrapped around their minds. May the Lord Jesus bless you and your family.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    This is a famous Protestant Belief Alone Salvationist contradiction. They love to say that the saved will not practice habitual sin or they were never saved is just double speak to their other previous statements on how one does not obey because it saves. However, you are not forced against...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 4:3-5, Romans 11:6 and Titus 3:5 are all dealing with Initial Salvation. Just read the context and this is evident. Paul was also speaking against the heresy of which I call, “Circumcision Salvationism” which basically is the false teaching that was going on during that...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Keep reading. The natural man is in context to the Corinthians (at this point in time) who were justifying the sins of strife and envy in 1 Corinthians 3:3. In Galatians 5:19-21, Paul says that those who do these kinds of sin will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Inherit the Kingdom is dealing...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    You say that you guys don’t make a practice of sinning or one is not truly saved. The thing is when push comes to shove when I hear these kinds of statements, there is always some kind of double talk later against obeying God or how one is a saved sinner, etcetera. Whatever is not of faith is...

    Sure it is. Works For Salvation Verses & Passages (After We are Saved By God’s Grace): “Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.” (James 2:24). “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” (James 2:17). 10 “For there are many unruly and vain...

    But if that was the reality, then Jesus would be telling her to do something that was impossible for her to do. That would be like telling her to shoot rays of sunshine from her eyes, or to fly like a bird. If things were as you say, Jesus would have said for her to do her best to always fight...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Yes, we need to put Jesus and His desires above our own just as Jesus put the Father and His desires above His own. We do all need to examine ourselves indeed. But I think the issue at heart is having a correct view of sin and salvation to begin with. Many Christians today think they are...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    I was referring to the Protestant Belief Alone Salvationist’s version of a plan of salvation is non-existent. The sayings that all you have to do is believe in Jesus and nothing else is a false teaching. Titus 2:11-12 says God’s grace teaches us to deny ungodliness and that we should live...

    Actually, you got the wrong guy. That was not my username there. When I do copy and paste, many times it is my own written work from my own personal study in the Word of God. But if it is another person’s work, I do provide the source link to their write up. Most of my work is merely...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Yes, but this plan of salvation is simply non-existent when we examine the light of God's Word (the New Testament Scriptures). No Christian ever said in the New Testament that they were saved by a belief alone in Jesus as their Savior (or believing the finished work of the cross), and nothing...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Do you believe you are saved by keeping at least part of this commandment? “And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.” (1 John 3:23). To believe in the name of Jesus Christ is a part of salvation...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    When you read John 12:45, you also have to read and believe John 12:48 that says, “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.” (John 12:48). So if we do not receive Jesus' words, they will...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    This is talking about the casting lots and not salvation. While God is the provider of salvation, and He can keep us from stumbling, we also have our part to do. For we are told to work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12). We are told to fight the good fight of faith...

    Psalms 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. 1 Samuel 2:9 NIV “He will guard the feet of his faithful servants, but the wicked will be silenced in the place of darkness. “It is not by strength that one prevails;”” 1 John 2:29 “every one that doeth...

    John 10:28 “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” Now let's read the context. "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" (John 10:27). So the sheep FOLLOW Jesus. This means that they obey Jesus...

    John 6:37-40 says, 37 "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath...
