First, you did not deal with the verses I presented. Second, you talk about the blood in regards to salvation. While it is true that we need to have faith in his blood for salvation (Romans 3:25), we also have to walk in the light in order for the blood of Jesus to cleanse us from all sin, too...

Which Law do you think Paul is talking about in Galatians 3 that was a schoolmaster? Galatians 3:17 NLT This is what I am trying to say: The agreement God made with Abraham could not be canceled 430 years later when God gave the law to Moses. God would be breaking his promise. This would be...

Sorry. I have had success in leading people to change their mind about the Word of God with my lengthy postings of Scripture. Why? It was not me that convinced them. It was the Word of God. That's what the Bible does. It changes people. Jesus said abide in me, and abide in my words. David...

Matthew 7:14 (that talks about the narrow way) is in context to Matthew 7:22-23 where we read about how certain believers who did wonderful works in Christ's name were told to depart from Christ Himself because they also worked iniquity (sin). This is the context because Matthew 7:26-27 says...

No. Not really. Maybe some sin on a certain level, but the complete eradication of sin for a believer is denied by Perpetual Belief Alone Christians. They don't believe verses like 1 Peter 4:1-2, Galatians 5:2, and 2 Corinthians 7:1, etcetera.

The problem is that you fail to discern that Paul was talking about the Mosaic works of the Law like circumcision and not any kind of Law like the Laws of Christ or in following Jesus. Galatians 2:3 says, “But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:”...

While I do believe that a belief alone in our Initial Salvation can change us, I don't believe this to be the case when our faith continues. For I said believing God while persisting to disobey God does not change you. Meaning, if you fall into disobedience with God, your faith alone will not...

No. This is not unfounded. Those Christians who believe as I do who take a stand for the Bible in that we have to obey God as a part of entering God's Kingdom (after we are saved by God's grace), we are basically labeled as the bad guys or as heretics, etcetera (In fact, see post #160). I...

But the Bible says work out your salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12). 2 Corinthians 7:1 says let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:27 that he beats his body to keep it under...

While fruitfulness is not the cause of our salvation (the igniter) because we are Initially Saved by God's grace without works (Ephesians 2:8-9), fruitfulness is about maintaining our salvation and or continuing with God's plan of salvation in the Sanctification of the Spirit (See: 2...

That's simply not true. You and the others here have not provided any context that refutes what I actually believe the Bible teaches. You have not explained any verses I put forth to you that refutes your belief.

No. I just was watching a video where I had to shut it off and take a break from it because the one guy was saying that Romans 4:12 that says, “walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham,” is referring to doing something like good works. I disagreed strongly with the one guy in the...

So what do you make of Luke 10:25-28? No doubt you get this misunderstanding from a misreading of Romans 3:19 that says, “Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those under the Law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be under judgment to God.” (Romans...

While good works can sometimes follow naturally, good works don't always follow naturally. It's why Paul says we have to be careful to maintain good works in Titus 3:8. If good works always followed naturally then he would have never said what he did in Titus 3:8. But I am sure you will just...

You are the only Christian I have ran into who uses the term Type 2 Works Salvation. So it’s most likely your own invented term of how you seek to distort the Bible, and make it look like your an authority (When you are not). God’s Word is the authority and not your invented terms. When you...

Why would I deny the Bible to follow Protestant lies? It makes no sense. But you can keep speaking phrases and terms not found in the Bible if that makes you feel better. Initial Salvation is a biblical fact accepted by most Christians unless you are a Universalist (i.e. that both the...

There is no contradiction. There is a difference between Initial Salvation and the Secondary Aspect of Salvation. Time is what separates the difference. A person can be hired on to a sports team not based on anything they did, but then they later could be cut from the team based on their not...

Look, friend. The Bible’s last chapter even ends with it saying that blessed are they that do his commandments for they have right to the tree of life. It’s not those who believed on the finished work of the cross and who did not emphasize obedience will have right to the tree of life. Please...

Yes, I am hung up on the truth that Paul talked about Initial Salvation because that is what Paul was talking about in context. Nowhere will you see Paul condemning others for applying Sanctification or holy living according to the Laws of Christ in the NT as being condemned. You won’t find...
