Emphasis on the word repent; which means to turn away from sin, death, hell, and satan towards righteousness, life, heaven, and God. If you go with @Blood Bought 1953's teaching on this and are wrong, and lose the gamble, you will have lost everything. I wouldn't suggest going that way.

Iniquity is sin; and sin is the transgression of the law. More accurately, iniquity is the sin that dwells in the heart of every man, that only Christ can cleanse out of a man with His precious blood (1 John 1:7). Those who truly rest in the gospel are not workers of iniquity in the practical...

Of course anyone would have to be a fool to bet on Hitler. But I am saying that if your theology is correct, he just might have accepted Christ at the end of his life and made it in to the kingdom. And I'm not saying necessarily that that part of your theology is incorrect... Just that it...

You are pitting scripture against scripture. Does John 3:16 nullify the scriptures that have been quoted that you are responding to?

Of course the blood of Jesus covers over past sins (Romans 4:7-8) and also takes them away (1 John 3:5). And, if we have the Holy Spirit by faith (Galatians 3:14), we can walk consistently not after the flesh but after the Spirit (Romans 8:4). And in mortifying the deeds of the body in the...

Your argument is not with me but with God. He is the one who spoke the scriptures that I have quoted or referenced.

I think that the key to examining what anyone says about scripture is to determine whether they are expounding accurately the meaning of the text (exegeting) or whether they are reading into the text a preconceived notion and doctrine that has been taught to them elsewhere (eisegesis). If the...

You mean @Behold.

I am saying that, while faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17), that some do not mix the word of God with faith (Hebrews 4:2 (kjv)); and that this is their decision.

Those who work iniquity will be cast into the furnace of everlasting fire (Matthew 13:41-42, Matthew 7:23, Matthew 25:41). So if we are still sinners, in the sense of those who work iniquity, we are not in Christ. Now all of us are sinners in the sense that we all have indwelling sin (1 John...

No, Jesus died for all; but not all avail themselves of what He did for them, appropriating it by faith.

Salvation can be lost (Luke 8:12-13, Romans 11:20-22), if the faith that a person has is nominal, lukewarm, or shallow.

You continue to misrepresent my doctrine as coming from the JW's. My doctrine does not come from them, it is based on leanings towards Oneness Pentecostalism. I have said that it is not the water that saves. There aren't any magical properties in the water. It is that going underneath the...

So then, since no one knows who is elect and who is non-elect, we ought to tell people that if they will receive Christ, it will cause them to be of the elect. But if you say to them that they may be of the non-elect and that if they are, they cannot come to Christ, many will say, "the door is...

A person can receive the promise of the Holy Ghost, and thus be born again of the Holy Ghost, as the direct result of being baptized in water (Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39).

Paul teaches that after we are baptized we will "walk in newness of life" (Romans 6:4 and context). He says that as many as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ (Galatians 3:27). He teaches us that, having been buried with Christ in baptism, we are risen with Him through faith in...

The Father is a Spirit (John 4:23-24). All the fulness of that Spirit dwells in Jesus Christ, in bodily form (Colossians 2:9). Elijah did not have the fulness of the Spirit; for Elishah received a double portion of Elijah's spirit after he went up in the fiery chariots.

What has not been answered by those of the Calvinistic bent is the fact that John 1:12 teaches us that a person is not born of God before receiving Jesus as Lord and Saviour. The order in the verse is that we receive Him, and THEN we receive the right / power to become the sons of God. So...

No, it isn't. Conviction of the Holy Spirit is the halfway point in which a person is shown their need of a Saviour and is enabled to make a decision to either receive or reject Christ. No other teacher than the Holy Ghost. In that, God, by His Holy Spirit, is able to help a person come to...

You had mentioned that because Paul did not mention Jesus as God being an essential for salvation in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, that for that reason we should deny that concept. Therefore it is a valid example set forth by me; because John 8:24 does in fact tell us that the Deity of Jesus as an...
