Sorry. This statement makes absolutely no sense. Just because I don’t accept your labels (beliefs) does not mean that I cannot place labels upon what other people believe. That in no way means that I am being dishonest (Unless you are thinking I am against the labeling of beliefs in general...

But both you and Eternally Grateful are ignoring the context. Galatians 2:3 and Galatians 5:2 talks about Circumcision Salvationism (Which was the same heresy promoted at the Jerusalem Council in Acts of the Apostles 15:1, Acts of the Apostles 15:5, and Acts of the Apostles 15:24). This heresy...

Problem is that you are not offering any alternative meaning, though. Then there is also James 5:19-20 that teaches the same truth that you have to distort, as well.

But I just clearly demonstrated by Scripture that what you say is not true here.

Not so. In the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32): One can say the prodigal son was acting immature, but was the prodigal son saved while he was living it up with prostitutes? No. How do we know? Well, when the prodigal son came home to his father, his father said he was “dead” and...

Then you must believe Paul contradicts himself in Titus 1:16. For he teaches that there are vain deceivers who can deny God by being reprobate unto every good work. Can a person who denies God be saved? Surely not. So good works is needed as a part of the salvation equation. In Ephesians...

Again, in verses like Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 4:3-12, Romans 11:6, and Titus 3:5: Paul was emphasizing how we are initially saved by God's grace without works because of the heresy of “Circumcision Salvationism” that was going around (See: Acts of the Apostles 15:1, Acts of the Apostles 15:5...

When James says that the devil's believe there is one God he is alluding to the 1st greatest commandment that New Covenant believers are under. Mark 12:29-30 “...The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy...

Sorry, I don't hold to your labels, my friend. I am merely following what the Bible says. My belief is unlike T.Bass' belief because I actually believe we are INITIALLY and FOUNDATIONALLY saved by God's grace without works. No person can actually put the cart before the horse. T. Bass...

#11. “...if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”...

I am not saying T. Bass is a Belief Alone Proponent. From my understanding so far, I think T. Bass believes in Works Alone Salvationism because he holds to the Church of Christ's view of salvation in that water baptism is for Initial Salvation (or it's a part of the gospel) (Which is...

#7. We see repentance is the topic of discussion in Luke 15 (Luke 15:6) (Luke 15:10); This is then followed up by the "Parable of the Prodigal Son" with the son desiring to be reconciled with his father. We learn the WAY the Prodigal Son desired to be reconciled with his father when he said, "I...

Here is… My Biblical Case For Repentance: At the heart, I believe the Bible teaches that "Repentance" means, "Asking God for forgiveness" (Which of course naturally then leads to the "fruits of repentance", i.e. obedience to the Lord): Important Note: While I may believe "Repentance" does...

I believe the Bible teaches the existence of the Nephilim. But I would not consider it to be heretical or soul damning if they did not believe in this truth taught in the Bible. However, if a person rejects the truth of the Trinity, then I would say it is soul damning because it falls into the...

So in John 6:29: How can Jesus say, “This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent”? Well, it’s because Christ draws all men to Himself (John 12:32). It’s because the Spirit can convict people in this world of their sin (John 16:8-9). But that does not mean man cannot resist...

And 2 Thessalonians 2:10 is the end of this debate. “And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved” (2 Thessalonians 2:10). So there are those who perish because THEY RECEIVED NOT THE LOVE OF THE...

Sorry, you have water on the brain whenever you read the baptism in the Scriptures. The context determines how that word is used. You cannot enforce your church’s belief over what the Bible says. You have already altered the plain reading 1 Corinthians 1:17 and Romans 10:13. So not sure our...

Yes, it would include this but it would not exclude John the Baptist’s water baptism that was still under the Old Covenant. Remember, John the Baptist was the last OT prophet (Luke 16:16) (Matthew 11:12-13) and he instituted water baptism of repentance (Whereby a person would confess of their...

Yes, I believe according to the Bible that there is only one gospel and that is described clearly in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 and that it is not of works. Believing the gospel is how we are initially saved (Which is a process of salvation without works). This is not to say there is not another...

If a person believes they have to do the work of baptism to be saved, then it is not a free gift. Free gifts by nature are gifts given to a person without them having to do any kind of work to get it. Do parents make their children to work in the morning before they are allowed to have a free...
