III. Verses on Sanctification Being a Part of Salvation. Important Note: Sanctification takes place only after we are first saved by God's grace through faith: #1. “Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only." (James 2:24). #2. "Even so faith, if it hath not...

II. Serious Sin Can Separate Us From GOD Verses: [God said to Adam,] "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." (Genesis 2:17). [Eve said to the serpent,] "But of the fruit of the tree which is...

I. Fall Away List of Verses: If we are never in jeopardy when we sin, then the Bible would not teach that we can fall away from the faith; But it does teach that we can fall away. Here are several lists of verses that makes it absolutely clear that believers can fall away from the faith...

First, in regards to our being perfected for all time: Well, while I do use Modern Translations, the King James Bible is my final word of authority. It says “sanctified” in Hebrews. Hebrews 10:14 KJB “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.” In view of Modern...

No. It’s not perfect harmony. It’s a contradiction! Proof? Is it possible for a believer who lives out their saving faith to NOT have works? Yes, or no? If you say… “No”… then you are concluding that works MUST be there to show a true saving faith. No “works”… means one is not genuinely...

After being saved by God’s grace: If works don’t save then the unprofitable servant should have been saved (See: Matthew 25:30). If works don’t save then John the Baptist was wrong for saying that the axe is laid to the root of the tree in regards to his saying bring forth fruits worthy of...

Yes, because the Bible teaches that we are initially accounted righteous by faith without works (Ephesians 2:8-9) (Titus 3:5) (Romans 4:3-5), and we are then later accounted righteous by works afterwards (James 2:24) (1 John 1:7) (1 John 3:7). It’s because “works” is a part of your faith...

Again, from my perspective on what you wrote: It looked like you claimed that I believe in works in the initial act of being “accounted righteous,” when I do not really believe that. So you can either explain that is not what you meant by your words, or you can apologize. The ball is in your...

I don’t believe Sinless Perfection is a salvation issue. How many times do I have to tell you this before it sinks in? Anyways, what is the secret meaning that us surface Bible readers are not getting on Galatians 5:24? Is your non-surface reading of Galatians 5:24 supported by the context...

This is yet another contradictory belief that you simply cannot see. If 1 John 1:8 is truly talking in the present tense (and it means we must declare we have sin), then you must admit that you are sinning right now (in the present moment of time). For the moment you are not sinning, then you...

Yes. There is an anger that is not sinful. Mark 3:5 says: “And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.” Psalms...

You are OSAS, and so of course you blindly parrot the popular Protestant celebrity viewpoint that the “sin not unto death” is in reference to physical death, and not spiritual death. But Dan, how would you recognize the sin not unto death? Even if you took James 5:14-15 as being in reference...

Again, you ignored my point. So if you take this kind of interpretation on Romans 3:23 then you must also believe you don’t seek after God, and you don’t understand anything according to Romans 3:11, too. First, when you say that believers will always sin this side of Heaven you are in...

#6. Accidental manslaughter and being able to flee to cities of refuge (Deuteronomy 19:1-13); Contrast this with intentional murder which results in capital punishment (See: Deuteronomy 19:21, Numbers 35:31). #7. Adam’s Inherited Sin (Involving babies that die). I believe Adam’s Inherited Sin...

No. Sins not unto death is stated in the Bible itself, and I didn’t write the Bible. God did. The Bible strongly suggests certain sins that do not lead unto spiritual death. This interpretation fits best when looking at the whole context of John’s entire epistle. If a believer overcomes the...

The unprofitable servant is not an unbeliever or fake believer because the Lord in this parable is compared to the Lord our God. For the Lord in this parable is called: “the lord of those servants” (Matthew 25:19). There are servants of God, and servants of the devil. In the parable, this...

Modern Translations say “being sanctified” or “being made holy” in Hebrews 10:14. This rendering could also potentially be accurate because sanctification does not stop in a believer’s life. Hebrews 10:14 BLB “For by one offering, He has perfected for all time those being sanctified.” Hebrews...

First, this either sounds like you just mindlessly copied and pasted info to throw at me or you forgot what I actually believe. For you reference how the Initial Act of being accounted righteous with God is not by works (like those in the Church of Christ or Catholics). But I don't believe we...

First, I already gave you an answer on this before. Did you not read what I had read? Matthew 25:21 says that the servant who was faithful over a few things was told to enter the joy of His Lord. However, the unprofitable servant was cast into outer darkness (Matthew 25:30). Second, I told...

@mailmandan As for Hebrews 10:14: Reading the context it talks about being perfect in the sense of past sins being forgiven and the purging of our conscience of past sins for good. Meaning, the animal sacrifices could never make one perfect in cleansing of one’s past sins, and in permanently...
