    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    That is awesome. I believe we should always follow the call that God rests upon our hearts. For sure. I will have to meditate on the Word more, and talk with the Lord and get back to you on this. But I would be happy to help any way I can so that our Lord Jesus may get all the glory. For I...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    You are believing worldly wisdom. You are simply parroting Protestant Theologians and you are not really checking the Bible deeply enough to see whether this teaching be so or not. All you got are a handful of verses taken out of context to the rest of the Bible. We can see that salvation is...

    Side Note: Oh, and if you are interested, this video was helpful for me in understanding the words of the apostle Paul. Granted, Kerrigan Skelly is not someone I watch often, but this video by him helped me to understand that Paul was speaking with the heresy of Circumcision Salvationism in...

    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...

    First, you mean THE New Testament and not A New Testament (implying that there is more than one New Testament). Second, so if you don't believe in being Initially Saved, then does that mean you never got saved at any point in time and you are a Universalist (Who believes all men will be saved -...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    If Calvinism was true, the following scenario would have taken place in the story of Jonah. Jonah comes to the city of Nineveh, and says to them, "I am here to tell you what God is going to do in you already. You are going to believe and repent and turn from your wicked ways." There would be...

    God threatened the city of Nineveh with judgment. 1 "And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, 2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. 3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now...

    And I thought I was the only one who thought there was a connection between Calvinism and the dark-side. It seems folks have already created memes on this already. But 1 John 1:5 says there is no darkness in God. Note: The first meme was actually taken from Calvinists. How scary is that...

    Uh, the crucifixion is not the greatest act of evil. It’s the greatest example of God’s love. You have your poles reversed. It’s like you read the Bible as if you are some kind of Sith Lord or Darth Vader. Stop making God out to something He is not. God is good, and holy (Not just in our...

    Sure it does. James 1:13 says God does not tempt any man. That’s what it says, and you don’t believe that verse. I take it you are KJB Only or you prefer the KJB. I am Core KJB. The KJB is more core foundational guide for all matters of faith and doing the work of faith, but I do use...

    Yes. They are tares or weeds. That's what I have been saying. But they don't know they are tares. They are believers who don't know they are not saved. They are not saved because they justify sin. See Matthew 7:22-23 again. Anyways, regardless of whether you believe this is reference to...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    I dare you to re-read the context. It's not saying in the context that they are continuing to be ungodly. The context is talking about Initial Salvation (i.e. to be saved by God's grace). For example: If you don't believe Romans is not talking about Initial Salvation primarily, and it is...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    I am not walking back anything. I am clarifying to you what I meant. Matthew 13:41-42 is talking about believers who thought they were saved but they did not make into God's Kingdom because they justified sin or evil. They are weeds and they don't know it. They are only in the Kingdom on...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Romans 4:5 that says that God justifies the ungodly is in reference to believers first coming to the faith for the first time in that they used to be sinners or ungodly. They are justified when they seek forgiveness of their sins with Jesus and they believe the gospel message in 1 Corinthians...

    Right, I am not saying they are saved. I am saying they are believers (who no doubt thought they were saved but they were not saved). They were only in the Kingdom in a physical sense on this Earth (and not spiritually) in that they did the work at times and they believed certain things here...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    So you don't believe Ephesians 2:8-9 talks about how we were saved (sav-ED) (past tense) in relation to how salvation (God's grace) is like a gift of God? Right, and justifying sin can stand in the way of being saved. Just look at the Parable of the Prodigal Son. In Luke 15:11, and Luke 15:32...

    Matthew 13:41-42 says: “The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” So Jesus will send forth His angels and...

    Jesus says in John 12:48, “He that... receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.” Meaning, if we do not accept the words of Jesus on what He tells us to do, those words will judge us on the last day. For example...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Your right. It is God's goodness. We are saved by God's grace in our Initial Salvation, and God does the good works through us. But we have to cooperate with God. God does not force us to be saved, and neither does He force us to remain saved. We do have free will. There are many warnings...
