    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    There are a few Christian groups and or individuals who are close to the truth, and who teach how we must be obey God after we are saved by God’s grace. I was excited to travel on a future vacation so as to attend Christ’s Sanctified Holiness Church because they teach two aspects of salvation...

    Not at all. A baby can only have milk (and or formula) when they first come into this world and they cannot have solid foods like meat. Then they can grow and mature to be able to eat meat. It’s the same with the Bible. There is the milk of the Word and the meat of the Word. The milk of the...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    You are simply being childish, and you are not dealing with this topic properly in truth. Ephesians 2:8-9 is talking about Initial Salvation in context because Ephesians 2:1 says you have been quickened (made alive). When did that happen? Well, most believers hold to the view that such a...

    No. You are the one who is confused as to what the Bible really teaches, friend. The Bible teaches that Sanctification IS also a part of our salvation after we are saved by God’s grace. I have given you 30 points in Scripture to prove this. You can start by explaining one verse at a time or...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    If works just come naturally or automatically then why does Paul say we have to be careful to maintain good works in Titus 3:8? Were you not paying attention to the verse that he quoted in the video? He also points out in Titus 3:14 (BSB) says, “And our people must also learn to devote...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Paul said, I have fought the good fight. I have kept the faith. He was not lying when he said these things. Yes, Jesus is also the author and finisher of our faith, too. But both sets of Scriptures are true. One is not true and the other is accurate. Both are true. This means things are...

    Types of Christians….what type are you?

    #16. ”And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in...

    But if that is the case, then good works are merely optional because one does not have to do them for salvation according to your own words. By the way, Adam used to believe as you do. But when he really started reading and studying the Bible on his own without his Pastors talking in his ear...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Salvation with God is synergistic. While Jesus Christ (GOD) draws us, and can save us by His grace, we have to respond to that call. Jesus is not going to force us to accept His invitation. So there had to be some kind of free will choice involved when we chose to accept Jesus as our Savior...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    The saying to trust in the finished work of the cross alone for salvation is not found in Romans 3. It's nowhere to be found anywhere in the Bible. In fact, you have to believe that Christ died for your sins, He was buried, and He was risen the third day according to 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. We...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    The poster named “Behold” says, The ROOT Heresy, is "works in place of Salvation"......or "works added to the Grace of God". See that? That is the gospel of works and self effort and that gospel is Satanic and cursed of God and anti-Christ. Why? Its because it Denies God's Grace, by adding self...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    While God does work in our life, we also have a responsibility to keep the faith. Repeat after me: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness,...” (2 Timothy 4:7-8). Notice Paul's words. I have...

    No. The context of denying yourself is denying your life (your desires, and or favor with the world) for following the desires of Christ (According to His Word). For Jesus says, “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Faith is described in the Bible as both a belief and as following God's instructions to the end (or in loyalty, i.e. to be faithful). Examples of a belief type faith shown in the Bible. “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    First, you really don't believe in walking after the Spirit. Protestants believe that they do both good and evil. They preach that they will always sin this side of Heaven. That's not walking after the Spirit. Galatians 5:16 says walk after the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lusts of...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    It’s grace by faith and obedience to God that saves. To say so otherwise is a distortion of tons of other verses in the Bible. To say so otherwise means either God turns you into a puppet to do his will sometimes or you can live in a devil religion in practice with the label of Christian...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Nowhere did I say that we are saved by Law (Law Alone Salvationism). But the Bible teaches two aspects of salvation. #1. God's Grace Through Faith in Jesus Christ as the Savior (Initial Salvation, and or Foundational Salvation). (The 1st synergistic work of GOD done in a believer). Being...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Here you quoted John 10:28. But when you read this verse, you also have to read and believe the verse before it (verse 27). “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:” (John 10:27). So you have to hear or obey the voice of Jesus in order for the promise of verse 28 to...

    Yes, they have their poles reversed. Up is down and down is up. Good is evil, and evil is good. Bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. They do not have a consistent standard of morality (Although they want good things for their life despite doing evil). But we reap what we sow. Granted...
