    As I said to you before you, I don't believe Sinless Perfectionism is a salvation issue because it is dealing ALSO with putting away sins that are not unto death. #1. Sins unto death (can cause one to lose their soul unless they repent). #2. Sins NOT unto death (are minor faults or...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    I believe there are two major aspects of salvation a believer needs to be concerned with in this life. #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 saved by God's...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    What is helpful in understanding 1 John 1:8 is looking at its immediate context (of which I am glad you posted). 1 John 1:10 says if we say we have not sinned. 1 John 1:10 switches gears from 1 John 1:8 in regards to time; John talks about the declaration on committing sin in verse 8 (which is...

    Not a contradiction if the Father dwells in the Son and the Son dwells in the Father (See: John 14:10). This would be there connection together as one God (including the Holy Spirit - of course). God has many facets to Him. He is everything we could seek for. But again… not a contradiction...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    It’s not a contradiction for God to speak in different perspectives. Jesus is begotten in the sense that He was born into this world via a physical flesh and blood body. The Father sent the Son. But the Father was also in the Son, too. Again, God is talking from a different perspective. He...

    #5. Punishment of sins in earthly courts vs. a sin that leads to hellfire (Matthew 5:22). Jesus described to us the difference between death-sins vs. non-death sins in Matthew 5:22. “But I say to you that everyone who continues to be angry with his brother or harbors malice against him shall...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    I believe many sins can condemn us if they are not confessed and or forsaken (See: 1 John 1:9, 1 John 2:1, 1 John 1:7, Proverbs 28:13). But there are sins that do not lead unto spiritual death, though. So I see Sinless Perfection as putting away sins such as sins that do not lead unto death...

    But lets get to the thread topic. We both know there is no use discussing a topic that you will not change your mind on. I have no interest in discussing the Mormon holy underwear religion.

    Stop clinging to the lies of Calvinism that is sending you to hell. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). It is in context to seeking our your advocate Jesus Christ. Go to Jesus right now and confess of...

    Can a believer abide in sin and still be saved while they commit that sin? Yes, or no?

    Okay. I have managed to try and sift through the clutter of your endless posts. It sounds like you believe in three separate gods (Tritheism). So then that is what you believe then? Simply type... Y for yes, or N... for no. If not... have a great day, friend. But readers who take the...

    Yes, I am grateful you don't call other believers hurtful names, etcetera. I think on this we would agree, and I am thankful for God for that. I am just saying that Alan does not deal with the verses that I put forth to him. He does not explain them. You also have not done so with me, as...

    What accusations? If I have accused you of something you feel is unfair, I will apologize (of course). Note: A question is not always an accusation.

    But why don't you repeat it here and help us out. You wrote a lot and it's really wordy and not so clear. Can you confirm the truth and help a brother out? In other words, if the roles were reversed, I would not make you jump through a bunch of hoops. I would just tell it to you straight and...

    I have seen many have very strange and odd beliefs. They use the Bible to supposedly support these odd beliefs in the Bible, but they simply are non-existent. Unfortunately, I see this same pattern with you, my friend. Instead of dealing with what I said, you skip past it. For you seem to...

    2 Corinthians 11:3-4 “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” Again, not sure why you are trying to hide the truth and make it simple or easy for me. Are you not here to serve your...

    Modern Translations Are Not Inerrant: If there is one mistake in God’s Word then it is not His Holy Word. Modern Translations clearly show a lack of their own inerrancy. Here are just a few mistakes found in both the NIV and NAS. (Note: Click on the image chart above to zoom in closer if...

    I believe it had to do with fellowship. Some learn better from a fellow brother or sister. But there are believers who had the Anointing and they did not need any man to teach them. John talks about them and that is also true. So how does one get this Anointing? Do you believe it is no more...

    Yeah, but it's not really clear and there is a lot of fluff in there that one has to sift through. Surely a one sentence statement wouldn't hurt. If you want to post it in a new thread, and provide the link here, it would be appreciated. But please just cut to the chase. Don't beat around...
