I agree. We are to fear God indeed. But as Romans 3:18 says there are those who have no fear of God before their eyes. How the Belief Alone Salvationist (or sin and still be saved believer) skates around this one is beyond me. I suppose all we can do is pray for them, and continue to speak...

I just gave a reply to this to poster Behold just now on this. I did not see your reply until after I gave my reply to him. See post #827 and it will give you answer. In other words, I don’t see this as a coincidence. God is talking here to you.

Well, Galatians 5 mentions nothing about a “believer confessing sin as being tied to not understanding the righteousness of God in Christ (one with God)” claim you originally made. Now, Galatians 5:4 does mention about falling from grace. This is true. Galatians 5:4 says, “Christ is become of...

This again is yet another Protestant deception and or lie. While James is saying to the brethren he is writing to that he will show them his faith by his works, that does not mean that works are not necessary as a part of being justified before God. James also says in James 2:24 that we are...

Sure you have. You basically said sinning Christians will be saved and or taken home to be with God early. That’s a sin and still be saved type belief!

Chapter and verse please.

No. What I see is you justifying sin and evil under God’s grace. There is no hope of glory or Christ in you if you disobey God’s commandments. You are still under the condemnation of John 3:20 in not coming to the light because of your false view on sin and salvation. God cannot agree with...

You have twisted the Scriptures beyond all imagining to come up with this kind of false interpretation to justify sin under God’s grace. Nowhere does the context support your viewpoint here (and you know it). This junk is not going to fly when you have to explain your belief to the Lord Jesus...

Also, confessing of sin is tied to salvation because Proverbs 28:13 says he that confesses and forsakes sin shall have mercy. 1 John 1:9 says if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. There is nowhere in the Bible where...

Here again your contradictions keep piling up. You say the born again do not have eternal life because of abiding and then you turn around and say that very thing by saying that the born again have spiritual union with eternal life by being in Christ. To be in spiritual union with Christ who...

Again, you ignore context. John 3:20 says, “For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.”

The whole loss of rewards because of sin (but not salvation) teaching is solely a Protestant invention and it is not found in the Bible. I know. You think 1 Corinthians 3 says that, but it doesn’t. Paul is using the parable of speaking of how HE will be saved through the fire on account of his...

Eternal life is not a super power or magical wish granted to you by a genie. Eternal life is a person named Jesus Christ. For Jesus alone has immorality (1 Timothy 6:16). This is why you need to abide in Christ in order to have life (1 John 5:12). The way you can have an assurance that you...

No, you said we are sinners (present tense) and then you said we can stop sinning at another point. That’s a contradiction.

Believing in Jesus is believing in Him as your Lord. For Jesus says His mother, brother, and sister are the ones who does the will of His father (Matthew 12:50). In other words: To be a part of the family of God is to do what He says.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”

Psalms 27:1 is in view of not fearing anyone but God. There are plenty of verses that talk about the fear of God or the fear of the Lord being a good thing. But in the OSAS or Belief Alone-ism camp, they do not think fear is fear (When it just so happens to be talking about the fear of God).

No anger towards anyone here. Just preaching the truth of what the Word says. But believers can be angry at every false way, though (See: Psalms 119:104).

But you make it sound like a born again believer who abides in God cannot turn back to the vomit of his old life and be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin and depart from the living God. You make it sound like a believer cannot be empowered by God by following His instructions (Which would...

Semantics. No doubt God’s grace is a gift just as Ephesians 2:8 says. But by saying that God’s grace is like a gift is not inaccurate to saying the same thing as God’s grace is a gift. For example: I can say that Bob is an asset to the team, and yet I can also say Bob is invaluable because he...
