You just proved my point. Because there are CONSEQUENCES to your wrong action. This is the same with the Bible's teaching on Conditional Salvation. If you sin, and you don't confess and forsake that sin... spiritual death will be upon you.

“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8). “Jesus said unto them, If God were your...

You are still not dealing with Matthew 5:28-30. Oh, and no. If there was no penalty to sin... that would not make a person to not sin. The exact opposite will happen. People will justify whatever sin they like on some level if there is no penalty for sin. To say so otherwise is confusion.

Again, if there is no penalty... nobody is going to really obey. For if there was no penalty to breaking the speed limit on the highway any more then more people will start to speed and drive like maniacs. Others will obey it simply because of safety reasons and they don't want to get in an...

But you say a person can still steal and be saved, though. So there is no real motivation to stop. One can do evil and be in God's kingdom. Yet, 1 John 3:15 says that to hate your brother is to have no eternal life abiding in you. He that does not provide for his own is worse than infidel...

So telling believers to “don't act that way”... means... salvation is conditional. The Parable of the Prodigal Son disproves OSAS. In the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32): Was the prodigal son saved while he was living it up with prostitutes? No. How do we know? Well, when the...

At this point, if you don't see what I have shown with Scripture, you are never going to see it. There is no point to keep endlessly going back and forth on this point (if you refuse to see the verse points I made). May God bless you and let's agree to disagree.

You are really not addressing the problem in Matthew 13:41-42, though. What about Matthew 5:28-30? How do you undo these verses in Scripture?

Okay. Why would Paul say this to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 6? It's because of 1 Corinthians 5. A believer was fornicating in the church and Paul was telling them to kick this guy out. Paul says that believers are not to have company with any brother who is a fornicator. So Paul is...

Also.... John does not speak in guarantees. 1 John 1:7 says..... IF we walk in the light as He is in the light we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. So you have to walk in the light for the blood of Jesus to cleanse you from all sin. It's...

This is totally illogical. Why would John bother to mention something that does not apply to believers but to unbelievers? He is talking to believers and warning them not to hate their brother. For he is writing to believers. It would be dumb to say that unbelievers hate their spiritual...

How do you not apply verses like Matthew 5:28-30? Jesus warns against those who look upon a woman in lust will lead to being cast bodily into hellfire? What about Matthew 13:41-42? It says the Son of Man (Jesus) will send forth His angels and they will gather out of HIS KINGDOM all things...

1 John 3:15 says if you hate your brother no eternal life abides in you. 1 John 3:1-3 does not undo that truth. It still means what it says.

Again, the danger with OSAS is that it is a concept that will inevitably lead a person to treat God's grace as a license for immorality or as a safety net to sin in some way. For this kind of plan of salvation to work... God would have to agree with a believer's sin or turn a blind eye to it...

Eternal Security is not true because the apostle Paul says, “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” (1 Timothy 5:8). An infidel is an unbeliever or heathen. Infidel | Definition of Infidel by...

1 Timothy 6:9-14 - Greed and love of money drowns men in destruction and perdition; Instead, pursue godliness and lay hold on eternal life (and keep this command without blame). 1 Timothy 6:17-19 - Commands for the rich (yes, Christians) to follow, so they may lay hold on eternal life. Titus...

Romans 8:1-8 - Anyone who is carnally-minded (is living according to the flesh) will die spiritually. Romans 8:12-13 - We are not debtors to the flesh; if we live according to the flesh, we will die. Romans 11:20-22 - Fear unbelief, that if you do not continue to have faith, you will be cut...

Eternal Security or OSAS is probably one of the most grossest Anti-Scriptural beliefs in the church today. It's just not even remotely true. OSAS can easily be disproved by pointing out the surrounding context of a verse that supposedly proves it. For there hasn't been a verse (that...

Philippians 1:6 is in context to Paul seeing their track record in that they obeyed God even in Paul's absence. “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence,...” (Philippians 2:12). But Paul was not saying it was a guarantee...

Well, first, the Spirit convicts even this world of it's sin because they don't believe on Jesus (See: John 16:8-9). So there is no day that goes by for a believer where they are totally lost unless they are not sensitive to the Holy Spirit convicting them of sin (Which means there is a bigger...
