Do you believe in Conditional Salvation or Unconditional Salvation? Are you Free Will Baptist whereby a person can decide to not follow Jesus later on, and yet on the other hand sin does not separate a believer from God? I just ask these questions to figure out what you believe and so as to...

Again, holy living by faith is the second aspect of salvation and your drawing the wrong conclusion just as Perpetual Belief Alone Proponents do. You cannot in good conscience believe Romans 11:6 without twisting it.

The problem is focusing a laser beam on one aspect of Scripture and drawing the wrong conclusions. Take for example this picture below. Each person is seeing what they desire to see without looking at the bigger picture. Perpetual Belief Alone Christians make this same mistake in regards to...

Eternal life is a person named Jesus and not a super power. He that has the Son has life and he that does not have the Son does not have life (1 John 5:12). How do we have an assurance that we know the Son or Jesus? 1 John 2:3 basically says we can have an assurance that we know the Lord if we...

That’s an ad hominem. I believe the Bible just fine. I believe you are the one who is not taking all the words of the Bible into account in what it says plainly here. For you have not provided any satisfactory answers to the verses I put forth to you that refutes your belief. For example...

Not at all. We can have life more abundantly if we abide in Christ. This starts with trusting in His grace without works by faith, and then it continues by faith in the next step in God’s plan of salvation by entering the Sanctification Process (Which includes living holy, works, putting away...

Again, you made statements as shown by the post numbers I provided that points to what you said as saying a believer can abide sin and still be saved by having a belief on Jesus. If this is not what you are saying, then you need to clarify what you meant. But I don’t think that this is a...

James disagrees with you. The same thing is said in the King James Bible using other words. “Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.” (James 2:24) (KJB).

Why I Believe the King James Bible to be the Preserved Word of God Pastor A. W. Weckeman Sept. 2002 There are two ways of approaching the subject of preservation regarding the Scriptures: First, from a technical perspective, the science of textual criticism. The textual critic approaches...

When I first accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior, and sought forgiveness of my past life of sin with Him, and believed in the gospel message in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, I was being initially saved by God's grace. I was saved. But salvation does not stop there. Salvation continues with the...

I believe there are two aspects of salvation. #1. God's grace through faith without works (When we are first saved). #2. Living holy by God's power by the Spirit of God (Which is the next step After we are saved by God's grace). In other words, I see the gospel as only 1 Corinthians 15:1-4...

#7. John 3:36 (The Greek word “apeitheō” used in John 3:36 for the English words: “believeth not” (KJB) is translated as “obey not” or “disobedient” in other English bible verses. For example: 1 Peter 3:1, and 1 Peter 3:20 translates apeitheō as “obey not” or “disobedient” and it is used...

I believe there are... Two Sides of the Coin of Faith: The 1st Side of the Coin of Faith: Faith starts off as a belief or trust in Jesus Christ as one's Savior (John 3:16). We are first (initially) saved by God's grace through faith without the deeds of the law or works ALONE (Ephesians...

This promise only applies to those who are walking in newness of life (i.e. honoring the resurrection of Jesus Christ). Paul speaks about in verse 10 (Philippians 3:10) that he may know the power of his resurrection in being made conformable unto his death. To walk that perfect walk as Christ...

No.... this is not possible for you to purify yourself according to 1 John 3:3 because you have tied your legs before you can even run the race because you say you can sin and still be saved. Oh, and yes. We are in a race. It's the kind of race that you have no idea that we are in. 1...

Believers have to confess and forsake sin in order to have mercy (See: Proverbs 28:13). For 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). If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one...

The belief that you have espoused in post #406 does. I said, “I’ve talked with OSAS folk who said to me in person and online that they can mow down a crowd with a submachine gun and be saved while doing so. Is this also what you believe? Do you believe George Sodini was saved?” Your reply...

In regards to John 18:20: While this was true for the time it happened, you have to realize Jesus is God (and can know the future), and the Scriptures that we have of Jesus speaking has gone out to the whole world today. So prophetically speaking, Jesus speaks openly to the world by the...

This would be an insult to my knowledge of the New Testament, friend. But it's okay. I realize you think you must think I don't know these verses when nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, I have been aware of the Romans 8 arguments by OSAS many times. It's an old discussion for...

I don't know what you are talking about. You need to clarify. I have already made my position of my view of salvation clear already here. I will repeat it again if you missed it. #1. God's Grace Through Faith in Jesus Christ as the Savior (Initial Salvation, and or Foundational Salvation)...
