    As Hebrews 10:36-39 details.

    John 3 - Born of Water and Spirit

    Well, this thing you "got" is something you need to throw back. LOL

    John 3 - Born of Water and Spirit

    More empty assertions.

    John 3 - Born of Water and Spirit

    "Flesh gives birth to flesh" had to do with Nicodemus's "Can a man re-enter his mother's womb and be 'born again'?" misunderstanding, nothing else.

    Justification by Faith Alone

    Your definition of "saved" is incomplete truncated and therefore sub-Biblical.

    Justification by Faith Alone

    The Jews were "saved" from slavery in Egypt by "the blood of the Lamb" and still fell under God's wrath because of how they misbehaved--according to Paul this was written to us so that we would be warned and not do the same and so suffer the same fate of not inheriting the promise just as they...

    Justification by Faith Alone

    Also, you are assuming incorrectly that once we believe it is "locked in"--that is not the case, instead, we need endurance or else our hearts may be hardened by sin and become wicked hearts of unbelief whereby we fall away from the living God Hebrews 3:12-13. Jesus speaks of the different...

    Justification by Faith Alone

    1 John 5 11And this is that testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. The life is in His Son, wherefore we are warned to "remain in Him" 1 John 2 11And this is that testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. As we are also warned by the...

    Justification by Faith Alone

    Paul said the Galatians were fools for going back to the Law ("you observe days" "you who desire to be under Law" Galatians 4:21), which is the sinful flesh, instead of "seeking to be perfected" by "the Spirit" which is defined as "doing deeds of faith", which are generated by God in our...

    Justification by Faith Alone

    Does Paul also offer "death that comes from the Law" when he teaches that eternal life is repaid doers of good in Romans 2:6-16 and Galatians 6:6-10?

    Baptismal Regeneration

    1. John 14:17 2. It really is difficult to drag references when I'm on my phone--if the verse is well known I would hope that I would not have to do the extra work. Really it is a big deal. Very troublesome. 1. This is an error called "begging the question". 2. The point was Jeremiah 31 shows...

    Justification by Faith Alone

    It's not about being "stuck on one verse"--there is no way to serve God but by walking by faith today since we are "under Grace". "Under Grace" God's Spirit of Grace writes God's Laws in our hearts and minds and that is what "faith" is. If we do not do what we are convinced we ought to be doing...

    Justification by Faith Alone

    I am speaking of the tone of service, not momentary unrelated fear (eg, watching a scary movie, or someone jumping out from behind a bush and startling us).

    Justification by Faith Alone

    Well, the rest of Scripture says the same--Romans 2:6-16 says that we will be repaid according to our deeds, eternal life, Galatians 6:6-10 says the same, James 2 says the same. Galatians 5 says we are to serve one another in love by which faith works so walking by faith is fulfilling the whole Law.

    Justification by Faith Alone

    Oh no I don't meant that at all--I am forgiven for my doubt, by which I often fear, though.

    Justification by Faith Alone

    "He who doubts is condemned... for whatever is not from faith is sin." as he had established "let every man be fully convinced in his own mind".
  17. GracePeace

    Justification by Faith Alone

    However, it seems an important, vital, distinction that the tone of "walking by faith" is to be love and hope Romans 5:1-5 Galatians 5:5 not fear since fear characterizes the work of a slave Romans 8:15 which is someone "under Law" not someone "under Grace" "walking by faith" (it seems...

    Justification by Faith Alone

    "Works of Law" are deeds done in the context of being "under Law" which emanate from sinful flesh Romans 8:3 Galatians 3:3, but the works which we do "under Grace" are done by God 2 Corinthians 12:9 not sinful flesh so they aren't "works of Law".

    Justification by Faith Alone

    1. Context : Romans 14:5 "let every man be fully convinced in his own mind" Romans 14:23 "anything that is not from faith is sin" by which the sinner is "condemned". 2. We were saved by grace through faith, but that salvation was as the Jews' from Egypt--1 Corinthians 10 says they still fell...

    Justification by Faith Alone

    He is talking about the requirement that we walk by faith or else we're condemned. Condemnation is the opposite of justification. Your works affect your standing before God then. Same thing James 2 teaches. Same as Romans 2:6-16. Same as Galatians 6:6-10.
