    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    If you are talking about ChristianChat. I was also banned from there because of my fight against OSAS. I talked to the admin of the site, and told him about what happened but he did not do anything about it. After I posted at ChristianChat for a while, I posted on ChristianForums.com for a long...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Do you believe there was a book of the Law of Christ during the time of the writing of the letter written to the Galatians? I say this because Paul says this: “For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all...

    Yes. This would be the gospel as written in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. It is believing that Christ died for our sins, He was buried, and risen the third day. But there are other instructions of the faith that are given to us after we are saved by believing the gospel message. Loving God and...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Jesus Christ alone has immortality (1 Timothy 6:16). So in order to have immortality or eternal life, you have to abide in Jesus Christ. The way you know Christ is abiding in you is if you find you are keeping His commandments (1 John 2:3). For the person who says they know the Lord and they...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Matthew 7:14 “Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Let's look at the context of the straight gate. Matthew 7:22-23 “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    First, again, this is not my first discussion involving Free Grace Christians. I have been talking with them online since 2011 and not one of them believes in doing good at all times as Psalms 106:3 says. While many of them will say they believe in doing righteousness, they also believe in...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    No. I do not have a problem with Scripture. James 1:13 says, “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:” James 1:13 says God does not tempt any man. If God directly moved David to sin, then that would be...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    I am not projecting anything. You act like this is a new discussion for me. It isn't. I have talked with Free Grace Christians since 2011. They all justify sin in some way based on what they have said. Not one of them believes in doing righteousness at all times as Psalms 106:3 teaches.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    2 Thessalonians 2:10. BOOM. No more Calvinism. 2 Thessalonians 2:10 says that those who perish are perishing because they received not the love of the truth that they MIGHT be saved. There is no might be saved in Calvinism. Also, it was not because the god of Calvinism did not elect them...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Actually, the opposite is true. If a believer who holds to the Bible is true in that they have to obey God's instructions to enter the Kingdom, they are going to focus on picking up their cross, denying themselves, and they would focus on loving God, and loving others. If Perpetual Belief...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Not true. These verses are dealing with salvation. 1 Peter 4:18-19 “And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Testing is different than tempting. God may permit the devil to tempt others, but God Himself is not actually tempting anyone. Also, man is ultimately drawn away and enticed away by his own lusts according to James. So God is not leading anyone to sin. That's just wrong to even say that...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    You missed the part that says to, “sin not.” Jesus also told two people to “sin no more” (John 5:14) (John 8:11). In fact, Jesus said that the Ninevites will rise up in judgment against this generation because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. If you were to turn to Jonah 3:6-10, you...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    No. Perpetual Belief Alone Salvationism glorifies sin. I have talked with enough Perpetual Belief Alone Proponents to know. They always have a problem with obedience to God as a part of salvation. In fact, they are for disobedience to God as a part of salvation. John 3:20 says, “For every one...

    You are incorrect. Yes, the Bible does. The Condemnation of Perpetual Belief Alone-ism: Matthew 3:9-10 “And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid...

    Even after the cross, there were changes being made: The Old Covenant says this about circumcision: "And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant." (Genesis 17:14). Yet, the New Covenant...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    No. Jesus was making changes to the Law (even before the New Covenant went officially into effect with His death). For Jesus was primarily teaching New Covenant teachings and not Old Covenant teachings during His earthly ministry. How so? Jesus clearly was making changes to the Law (even...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    No. James 1:13-14 says: “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.”

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Read Luke 10:25-28. Jesus agrees with the lawyer that to love God and to love your neighbor is a part of inheriting eternal life. So if Jesus teaches obedience as a part of entering God's Kingdom, then you are the One who is focused on self (your thoughts) vs. what Jesus says.

    But he is using worldly wisdom and not Scripture to explain things.
