    OSAS Deniers can “ Sin and Get Away With It Too! Here’s How!

    It would appear that you think that it is the sound gospel of Jesus Christ to discourage men from repenting of their sins... This is what is truly perverted impaho.

    The term "come short" in Romans 3:23 is in the present passive indicative...which indicates that we currently fall short only when we are passive and not active in pursuing the Lord and His holiness. This should be clear when we compare Romans 3:23 to Hebrews 10:14 (kjv)... Heb 10:14, For by...

    Pro 9:7, He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. Pro 9:8, Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. Pro 9:9, Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just...

    Those who deny Eternal Security

    The faith, there, is the religion of Christianity and an outward profession of adhering to the faith of Christianity.

    "Hope of Glory

    We stay connected to the Lord by faith from start to finish (Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:1-3, Colossians 2:6). Of course, what you are missing is that if Anne were truly born again, she would be bearing the fruit that we see in Doug; and if Doug weren't born again, he very likely wouldn't have...

    The Wrong Effect

    Of course, if we are perfectly obedient to the law, it does not mean that we are justified by the law, if we are in fact justified by Christ. For the one who is born of God cannot sin (1 John 3:9); and sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4). And therefore, I have not fallen from...

    Those who deny Eternal Security

    Like I said, it is a peripheral issue as far as I'm concerned. I am not being adamant either way about who it is whose name is written there in the twelfth foundation; but the evidence that it is Matthias is not conclusive in my view. I know that we will find out when we get there. If you...

    Salvation the free gift

    There are three aspects of salvation: 1) justification 2) sanctification 3) glorification. It can be said that each of these is salvation. Therefore, sanctification, is indeed, salvation. It is self-righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees that judges other people according to the flesh...

    Tongues is a language of prayer and it is not a sin to pray using that gift in public. If there is no interpreter, then in a public church setting, you are to cease speaking in them while there is no interpreter. But how is one to know whether there is an interpreter or not unless one steps...

    Salvation the free gift

    Many teachers of the Bible tend to spend the majority of their time trying to debunk major doctrines in the Bible...they pit scripture against scripture in order to deny what the holy scripture teaches. I have noticed this as a trend in some churches where the people idolize their preachers and...

    Salvation the free gift

    Now I know that I have the Holy Ghost because I have been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and the Holy Ghost is absolutely promised to those who receive such a sacrament... Therefore, when I read my Bible, the Holy Spirit guides me into all truth (John 16:13). I...

    1 John 2:20, 1 John 2:27, Psalms 119:97-104. I rely on Bible reading and the Holy Spirit brings to remembrance the holy scriptures as I need them. My teacher is Jesus Christ Himself...and His Holy Spirit. Of course I pay attention to teachers in the body of Christ...however, I follow my own...

    Salvation the free gift

    If I don't know Christianity, then Christianity isn't in the Bible... Because I spend the majority of my hours reading the New Testament and fewer hours reading the Old... So that I finish reading through all of the epistles once per week and through the gospels, Acts and Revelation about once...

    Salvation the free gift

    Praise the LORD...(for I perceive that I am blessed for your persecution of me)...you claim to be bought by the blood of the Lamb but you do not even realize that the blood of Jesus sanctifies (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29) and cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7). Newbies, I encourage you to...

    They are far and few between any more...and when they do occur, I bring them before the Lord and into His light so that He can cleanse me from all of that sin. The more I walk with Jesus, the less and less I sin in such a manner. And also, your hypothetical situation will never happen to...

    According to 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, washing and sanctification comes before justification.. 'nuff said!

    He did have what qualified as "faith" (Luke 8:13) but it was not a heart faith unto righteousness (Romans 10:10) and enduring to the end (Matthew 10:22, Hebrews 3:6, Hebrews 3:14). It was a "mental assent" that amounted to being lukewarm, nominal, and shallow.

    In John 6:47, the person who believes has everlasting life. If his spiritual life ever comes to an end, it was not everlasting but temporal. In Luke 8:13, the person who believes, believes for a while and then falls away. I don't think that they continue to be saved after falling away. I...

    It still doesn't seem to fit what you are trying to say... Perhpas you could quote the verse and expound upon it and how it applies to the subject at hand. The nicotine would qualify as pharmakeia (witchcraft). Actually, they like that designation... There was a gay event in my home town...
