    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    1 John 1:8 is a warning to the brethren about the gnostic false belief that said, if we say we have no sin [if we do sin] we deceives ourselves, and the truth is not in us. So it’s a warning against how not do deny sin’s existence if we do happen to sin on rare occasion. John gives us the...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    The Bible has many warnings against how sin can destroy our soul. It warns us against being unfruitful or we will not enter the Kingdom of God. It warns us to live holy without which no man shall see the Lord. So I would rather be overly cautious in living for God and fighting against sin...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Jesus said: “…they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” (Matthew 15:14). Still in context (of the same conversation), Jesus says: “But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Most of what I say involves Scripture. Christians generally find it a joy to study His Word and to talk about it (even if it is from an opponent or enemy). Besides, I did not just post for your benefit alone. I post for others who are in search of the truth. So if you will not read my words...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    You are not making any sense. First, nowhere did I say that we are to change without God’s power. That is your false twist on my words that I did not make. When I talk about change, I am talking about God illuminating your eyes to the truth of what the Bible really says and you will be...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    #5. Paul says in Romans 7:14 that he is carnal and is sold under sin; And yet in Romans 8:2, Pauls says he is free from sin. So unless Paul is contradicting himself, he is talking from two different perspectives. #6. In Romans 7:25, Paul asks the question: "O wretched man that I am! who...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    There are 8 reasons in Scripture that show us that Paul is indeed talking as a Pharisee (recounting his past experience) and he is not talking in the present tense as a Christian in Romans 7:14-24. #1. In Romans 7:6, Paul says we should serve in newness of the spirit and not the oldness of the...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    In Defending the true meaning of Romans 7: Peter says this about Paul's writings, "As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their...

    I don’t believe you because you said the following. “I’m a “Righteous” Sinner......* MADE* Righteousness by my Faith in Jesus to Save me... You are a Sinner too, btw.....best do like I did and go get you some Grace ........you sound like one of those “ Grace Rejectors. ——- and the Grace of God...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Uh, Paul was referring to his past life of being a sinner. He never said he continued as a sinner (present tense) saved by grace. You really love to make God’s people to justify sin when they didn’t.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Sorry. This excuse is like that of a child who wants to justify disobedience. You are ignoring the many other verses I put forth here. For example: How do you undo the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:15? What about Paul’s words in Galatians 6:7-8 in sowing to the Spirit to reap life? In your...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    I don’t believe that Entire Sanctification or Sinless Perfection is a salvation issue (Even though I believe that such a thing is possible based on what Scripture says). Believers must meet the bare minimum requirements for holy living according to the New Testament to enter the Kingdom. I...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    The sin and still be saved Christian is not going to change unless God intervenes or unless they are convicted by His Word. Right now, most are not going to change. They will lose friends and they will have to give up sin in order to change and that's not easy to do. We also don't know who...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Update: I had to remove these videos from Alan Ballou (that I posted before). While I liked Alan Ballou’s videos before on Sanctification and putting away sin and they were really helpful, the problem is he is a false accuser of the brethren. In the YouTube comment section in this video...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Some Helpful Tips to Properly Interpret God's Word: #1. Ask God for the understanding of His Word, i.e. "Give us this day our daily bread" (Sometimes this is a repeat process in that we have to keep asking; Especially when it comes to difficult passages). #2. Context (Looking at the...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Where does the Bible say that God must always chastise us even if we live righteously? What is dumb about your understanding on chastisement is that you fail to recognize that chastisement is to get the person to stop sinning. It's like a master who chastises his dog for pooping on the carpets...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    If you were to read both 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians you would know that the Corinthians had sinned (1 Corinthians 3, 1 Corinthians 5). Paul explains in 2 Corinthians 7:6-15 explains how they sought forgiveness with the Lord Jesus with a godly sorrow, and they had by forsaken their sins...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    The obvious meaning is that it is not talking about reverence. It’s talking about fear because that is the emotion one experiences when they tremble. You are simply just denying the obvious meaning because you don’t like what the verse says.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    So there are 250 different New Testaments? Please elaborate in detail further. I have been a Christian a long while now and never heard of this one before. Are you talking about different English translations? So… you were saved from Eternity’s past? There was never a point in your life...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    No. Philippians 2:12 means what it says plainly. You and other Protestants don’t like Philippians 2:12 and so you seek to change what it plainly says. Why all the trembling if it is not talking about fear? Protestants think it means reverence or awe of God. But that is not the context...
