    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    (Continued from my last post): #8. The Holy Spirit is compared to water; Water baptism (an OT ritual) is a picture that points ahead to the true baptism (i.e. Spirit baptism). Jesus told the woman at the well, “Whosoever drinketh of this...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    I believe Luke 7:29-30 is 100% true, but the issue again is dealing with time. If I lived during John's time, I would have been water baptized according to John’s baptism (Side Note: I have been watered baptized in a church). Anyways, according to the Bible: Water baptism appeared with John...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    But you appeared to agree with his belief by the verses you gave me before defending that a believer is not condemned.

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    I will have to give you a reply on this at a later time when time allows so as not leave any stone unturned. The thing you may not be aware of is that there are real testimonies of people falling into sin because of the OSAS belief. Ex OSAS Audio Testimonies: Testimonies of former eternal...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    George Sodini is a real person who turned OSAS into a license to sin. You seemed to before agree with his belief by posting verses that would support his viewpoint. It seems like you want to distance yourself from him or his belief now?

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    I have given an extreme in-depth reply to Christian’s posts on a wide variety of topics on various different Christian forums. I have responded to people’s post many times in great detail without missing a beat (or post). You can check my track record to confirm this at ChristianForms.com...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Asking a question is not an explanation. How do you see this passage as not applying to believers today or how do you explain it in light of your George Sodini belief?

    People have lives and they can many times be too busy to give a proper lengthy reply on a computer in the comfort of their own home.

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    I was asking you about this passage for a while now and you avoided explaining it. Tell me how your “Sin and still be saved George Sodini belief” works with this passage? Keep in mind God is not a respecter of persons (According to Scripture).

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    I am busy and I limited on time and can only give brief replies. So why do you not reply to my recent post? Matthew 5:28-30. How do you understand that passage? It appears to contradict your sin and still be saved type belief you have acknowledged to. What about 1 Timothy 6:3-4? James 4:6...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Wow. We truly are living in the last days. 2 Timothy 3:1-9 says: [1] “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. [2] For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, [3] Without natural...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    I’ve talked with OSAS folk who said to me in person and online that they can mow down a crowd with a sub machine gun and be saved while doing so. Is this also what you believe? Do you believe George Sodini was saved?

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    In an LA Fitness Gym in Pennsylvania on August 4, 2009, a man named George Sodini fired 50 rounds into an aerobic class before turning the gun on himself. The shooting resulted four deaths (including Sodini himself) and nine injured. George Sodini was a member of the Tetelestai Church where he...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Do you believe a believer loses salvation when they sin or they are in danger of losing salvation when they sin? If you believe they are saved while they sin for a short amount of time and you tell this to a child and never see them again, they could potentially turn out to be the next George...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    I see no contradiction in what I believe anymore than how folks don't see a contradiction in the Trinity (While others do). The contradiction only exists therefore in your own mind and the failure is your own in not seeing it, my friend. Ask God and search the Scriptures on the matter and He...

    KJV Only...which one!

    Certainly not all KJB Only like myself believe that, though. The problem I have with the other side of the camp is when folks just undo what the Bible says in English as a result of their going to the original languages. Yet, the Bible in English was translated out of the original languages...

    KJV Only...which one!

    This is just simply not true. The KJB translators used the Textus Receptus, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Old Latin Bible and other old papyri. The main manuscript text (the TR) is Byzantine (for the KJB). Alexandria text is what Modern Bibles use. So they are two different lines of...

    KJV Only...which one!

    I am not putting words in your mouth because you are attacking the KJB and the TR which is the opposite side of the camp (i.e. Alexandrian manuscripts, Westcott and Hort, Nestle and Aland, the Vatican, etcetera). As for 1 John 5:7: Already addressed this in this thread already with a line of...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Well, I don't believe God is happy with a person who wraps the gospel up in a blanket of sin. Can a car thief promote the gospel with his theft? I am sure he could but God would not be in favor of him doing so because he is justifying sin and wrapping up his good gospel with that which is...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    The Bible does not condemn the use of an Ouija board, but that does not mean God doesn't condemn such a thing. Sometimes God's Word condemns things in more broad terms and it's not always in the form of a Thou shalt not. I believe there are plenty of verses that condemns tattoos. But if one...
