Why am I in serious jeopardy of being lost? In your opinion, is it not because I believe that God requires repentance? So, if I repent because I believe that it is the requirement, I am lost for ever? If I believe that I am saved because I have availed myself of Christ as the remedy for my...

Then their life came to an end...and therefore it was never everlasting, but was always temporal.

And we know that the Holy Ghost is absolutely promised to all those who receive baptism in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth for the remission of sins (Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39).

Hey, it is not my interpretation that the terminology in Hebrews 10:1 is "mature" rather than "perfect". I was actually attempting to deal with a false theology that is taught in some mainline churches , that anytime you read the word "perfect" in holy scripture, it means "mature" or...

In Galatians 3:14, we find that we receive the Holy Spirit through faith in Jesus Christ. In Galatians 5:22-23, we find that if anyone bears the fruit of the Spirit (which is love, the bond of perfectness, Colossians 3:14), that there is no law in existence that will condemn their behaviour...

No, I have not misapplied that scripture; I have taken it at face value; as should you.

In Luke 8:13 it becomes clear that someone can believe for a while and then fall away. It is heresy to teach that the person who thus falls away continues to have salvation. But, this is what @Behold teaches.

The Bible teaches that, in Romans 7:18... Rom 7:18, For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

That is correct....but of course it is expedient for me to give the explanation that I have given above. I don't consider myself to have apprehended...and this makes me a candidate for perfection (Philippians 3:15 and context). See 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (kjv), Hebrews 10:14 (kjv), 1 John...

The sufferings of Christ do pertain to what we would consider to be doctrine as concerning salvation.

I think that in order to have mercy on you, @Blood Bought 1953, I should obey that verse myself and begin to ignore you and your posts, if that be possible.

@Blood Bought 1953, Have you considered that you are being disobedient to Romans 16:17 in that you continue to engage with me? I will tell you that I carry new wine and you are an old wineskin. Therefore if you actually begin to partake of the wine that I offer, you will be burst open and all...

I will tell you, @Blood Bought 1953, that I do not despise the Lord (and neither do I despise His grace); I love Him. And therefore, consider what is written in Proverbs 14:2 as concerning whether I am perverse in my ways and in my gospel.

Nope. I said "perhaps". Only wear the shoe if it fits.

See Ezekiel 33:19 for my definition.

I am indeed a true recipient of the grace of God. And I understand it better than you do because I have not learned about it from teachers whom I have heaped to myself to teach me what my itching ears want to hear (2 Timothy 4:3)... According to you, if someone repents of their sins they are...

@Blood Bought 1953, do you consider it to be true, that I despise the Lord?

Peter was a follower of Jesus and called Him Lord on not a few occasions. Therefore Jesus was His Lord; or else the Lord would have rebuked him for being hypocritical.

Actually it did. For the following scriptures are given to me. Jhn 15:20, Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 1Jo 4:4, Ye are of God...

So, by this, I gather that you believe that those who penned the holy scriptures were not all holy men of God?
