It should be clear that eternal security is promised to those whom Jesus knows (John 10:27)... And He says to certain people on their day of judgment, who were workers of iniquity, that, I never knew you. (Matthew 7:23) Those who practiced iniquity in their lives and never repented, will be...

Obviously, we are not saved by our works.... However, if we are saved, not only have specific works been prepared beforehand for us to walk in... But when it comes to committing sins, as believers in Christ we do not have the tendency to sin any longer. The capacity to sin is still there (1...

It says "if", not "when" in 1 John 2:1... And God's children may be defined as those who are predestined...chastening in their lives will produce the peaceable fruit of righteousness...freedom from (John 8:31-36) and victory over (1 Corinthians 15:57) sin. And did you also know that everyone...

The heart of the issue, picking up where the argument really begins: entire sanctification is an obtainable goal.

On the contrary, I am speaking of the righteousness of Christ as it is first imputed, and then imparted, to us. Reject this at your own peril.

It simply amounts to gambling on eternity to believe that I can be saved apart from baptism and then act accordingly. 1) the Holy Ghost is absolutely promised to those who repent and receive baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins (Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39, Romans...

Of course, the Lord gave us a prayer to pray, that God's kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Also, if we say that we have obtained the standard of perfection, that immediately disqualifies us from being perfect. All those who are perfect will have this attitude, that we have room to grow (Philippians 3:13-15). Therefore, if anyone has been perfected, they will not know it (Job 9:21...

It is not a sin to not fellowship with, say, mormons; because the Bible tells us not to fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11). And while I most certainly attend a Calvary Chapel and tend to fraternize with people who go to my church, this in no way means that I will...

There is no confusion in my mind...however I know that it may be difficult for you to grasp what I am saying if you do not actually think about what I am saying. Faith is a response to hearing the word...it is not an action. When you hear the word of the Lord, you either believe it or you...

Unfortunately I am at a loss as to finding what you say I am supposed to be looking for. If I have not seen what you are talking about in all of my Bible reading, how am I going to be able to find it hereafter without your help? I need for you to show me clearly what you are talking about...

Of course we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand. However, if you understand Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly enough, you also understand that faith is not a work. In John 6:28-29, Jesus is utilizing a literary tactic and is saying that if you are going to insist that salvation is by...

Works result out of a genuine salvation, they are not the catalyst for it. We are saved by grace before all that we can do, not after. Simple faith apprehends everlasting life; which begins at the moment of first faith (John 5:24 (kjv)). As for the kjv, I am uncertain of your point...

It can be a matter of not being "not yet"...it is obtainable in this life.

I know that I believe right about this....not that it is an essential issue in the Bible or anything like that.

I don't need to find a translation that says that...for the original Greek bears it out. Certain kinds of animals (the clean kind) were taken onto the ark in groups of seven rather than two by two. And also, even dogs (which are carnivores) when domesticated, will eat vegetables when they are...

That's not convincing enough for me... It is clear in holy scripture that we are not saved by works (all that we can do).

Regardless, it doesn't nullify the Strong's definition.

Also, for there to be "another" testament of Jesus Christ, there must be "another" death of the testator (Hebrews 9:16-17); nevertheless we know that Jesus did not die again and that neither can He die again (Romans 6:9).

And the mormon doctrine that "ye are saved by grace after all that ye can do" is in contradiction to John 5:24 (kjv), which tells us that we are saved by grace at the moment of first faith. Also, that we have been regenerated and renewed "not by works of righteousness which we have done" (Titus...
