    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    I don’t believe in doing works first to be saved so I am not putting any cart before the horse. You also are not explaining any of the verses I bring forth that refutes your belief here, either. Until you do, you just have empty words of your own opinion. You need to explain the verses I have...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Well, then you are only laughing at yourself. For you are the one who said they are a sinner (present tense) saved by God’s grace and then you later started to change the subject to make it appear like you are for holy living (Which makes you double minded). You are either for holy living or...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    First, as I told you many times before, I am against Catholicism. I have debated with Catholics before about their false beliefs. Just because they may agree with the Trinity does not undo the teaching of the Trinity. But I am the farthest thing from being a Catholic. I am for the Bible...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    I can only encourage you to prayerfully read over and over 1 Timothy 6:3-4 on being proud. It says that any man who does not agree with the words of Jesus Christ, and the doctrine according to godliness, he is proud and he knows nothing. James 4:6 says God resists the proud and gives grace to...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    I believe we cannot save ourselves in our Initial Salvation. We must be saved by God’s grace without works in our Initial Salvation. Water baptism or circumcision is not necessary to be Initially Saved. No works required in our Initial Salvation. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Pay closer attention to Romans 4:9-12. The order of belief vs. circumcision was the focus. Abraham first believed God before circumcision (a work). So the idea here is that Abraham was Initially Saved by faith alone before he was circumcised which was a work. But even circumcision back then...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Not sure what this has to do with your statements that says you are a sinner (present tense) saved by God’s grace. It sounds like you are saying these things as a cover (sheep’s clothing) in order to hide your true belief that justifies darkness and evil.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    I disagree strongly with Catholicism. So your barking up the wrong tree in trying to associate me with them. Just because you say so, does not make it true. The Bible teaches that Paul was fighting against Circumcision Salvationism: Galatians 2:3 says, “But neither Titus, who was with me...

    Now you are not making any sense.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    One cannot surrender to the Spirit if they also declare that they are a sinner (present tense) saved by grace. That would be turning God’s grace into a license for immorality. You have to walk after the Spirit in order to not fulfill the lusts of the flesh (Galatians 5:16).

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    1 Timothy 6:3-4 basically says if any man does not agree with the words of Jesus Christ and the doctrine according to godliness, he is proud, and he knows nothing. Being proud is the opposite of humility. Acts of the Apostles 3:23 says that if any man who does not hear that prophet (i.e...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Again, this verse does not align with what you believe. You are saying the words of the verse but you either don’t understand them, or you have changed them to mean something else. To endure temptation is a part of salvation. But in your belief it’s just faith alone. Just believe and that’s...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Okay. You don’t appear to be listening. I believe we must believe (trust) in the gospel message as stated in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 which states that we are to believe that Christ died for our sins, He was buried, and He was risen the third day (for our salvation). What you don’t realize is...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Hello. I am right here. In other words, it’s disrespectful to quote my post and then talk about me in the third person, friend. If you disagree with my belief of what I believe the Bible teaches then fine. You will have to answer for the Lord for why you don’t accept certain verses. But...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    The problem with Belief Alone-ism is that holiness is just optional or holy living is reduced to one’s own standard of morality. If holy living according to the Bible does not play a factor in one’s salvation and it’s all a belief alone in Jesus as the Savior plus nothing else, then one can...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    @Charlie24 How exactly do you believe this verse? “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.” (James 1:12). Do you truly believe that the man who endures temptation will receive...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    The problem is that you cannot be remorseful truly over your sin if you declare that you are a sinner and you cannot help but to sin again. That would be like a man who cheats on his wife and says he is sorry to her and yet he has no real intention of ever stopping because he believes he cannot...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Then why is Paul warning the Galatian believers about these sins if the born again will automatically just not do these kinds of sins? It makes no sense. So you would have to interpret Galatians 5:19-21 as referring exclusively to the unbeliever. But why would Paul feel it was necessary to tell...

    This is false. Paul believed that he could one day be perfect in this life. Paul says in Philippians 3: Philippians 3:12 NLT “I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Your false holiness routine (fake sheep skin) is not going to work. You don’t believe holy living as taught in the Bible (2 Thessalonians 2:13, Hebrews 12:14, Romans 8:13). The problem is that you said, I quote. “Yes, I'm a sinner saved by grace!” Quote by Charlie24. Source quote. This...
