    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    This explanation does not actually make any sense or undoes what it plainly says. 1 Timothy 6:12 says, “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” (1 Timothy 6:12). According to you...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Again, while I am not denying God works in us for us to work out our salvation, I also know that when we obey His instructions, God empowers us more by His working to do the work more effectively and or to overcome sin in this life. For example: 1 Peter 4:1-2 says He that has suffered in the...

    Right, which contradicts your how to stop sinning point made in post #756.

    No. It's my own work compiled over study that I saved on a Google document. Oh, and Jesus did not say that the born again will never perish. That is something you have added to the Bible that does not exist.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    But I quoted from the Strong’s Concordance that includes a Hebrew and Greek Lexicon (i.e. BlueLetterBible). You said I just quoted from a website. But I also was drawing upon a Lexicon / Concordance. Anyways, I can see your definition of both Greek words as being potentially correct here...

    Yet, you said, I quote: “GOD says, that the unrighteous, is everyone...... as "all have sinned". So you are contradicting yourself.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    But you also teach that a believer can sin and still be saved. So obedience is just optional to entering the Kingdom (Which is false). Jesus says, “For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Again, you speak primarily your own thoughts here and not Scripture. Ephesians 2:8-9 is in context to first being saved by God’s grace when they first accepted Jesus as their Savior. The context shows this. For believers have been quickened (Ephesians 2:1) which happens when they first...

    Here is a General List of Verses on How Believers Can Fall Away: Hebrews 3:12-14 Hebrews 4:11 Hebrews 6:4-9 Hebrews 10:26-30 Hebrews 12:15 1 Timothy 1:18-20 1 Timothy 4:1-7 Galatians 5:2-4 2 Peter 2:20-22 2 Peter 3:17 Luke 8:11-15 1 Corinthians 10:12 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Now, do not...

    Philippians 1:6 is not possible for the believer who thinks they can sin and still be saved. No good work can be begun if one justifies darkness and sin to begin with. 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 Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    You quote Romans 6:6, but you don’t understand it. Romans 6:22 says, “But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.” Also, Romans 6:6 does not undo what Galatians 5:24 says. Galatians 5:24 talks about how they...

    No. I quoted this passage because you don’t seem to agree that believers can overcome sin in this life (According to the Bible).

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    And your a Sin and Still Be Saved Salvationist. I would rather be labeled as a Works Salvationist than a Sin and Still Be Saved Salvationist. But I am not technically a Works Salvationist because I don’t believe we are saved solely by Works ALONE Salvationism. I believe Christians are first...

    And so you continue to quote your own words here to build your belief and not the Bible.

    Nope. 1 Peter 4:1-2 says, “Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Nope. It’s not self effort to obey God’s instructions in His Word (after being saved by God’s grace). We are also told to work out our salvation with fear and trembling which is in context to obedience (See: Philippians 2:12). In fact, here is a list of… Works For Salvation Verses (After We...

    No. You do not fully understand God’s righteousness. 1 John 3:7 says he that does righteousness is righteous even as He is righteous. Who is the he that is righteous? It’s Jesus. So we follow Jesus and His righteous acts or ways.

    The Bible warns you to…. Be not deceived: “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators,nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    You are deceived. 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. 1 John 1:7 (Which you reject) says if we walk in the light (love our...

    But if you keep reading the context this shows that Peter is not solely concerned with their conversation only, but their conduct in general. 1 Peter 2:1-2 “Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the...
