So, you are saying that Gentiles are included in Israel, correct?

I am not a robot, I am a sheep; and because I am a sheep I despise vomit and mud. Whereas before, when I was a dog or swine, I returned to my vomit and my wallowing in the mire as a course of nature. The Holy Spirit dwelling in me motivates me to continue in faith in Jesus; He even instills...

What's the difference?

Yes; that chapter also speaks of the fact that "they are not all Israel which are of Israel."

I think that it is safe to say that there has been no comprehensive refutation of OSAS in this thread.

What's the difference?

Just read through Romans 11 a few times.

If I have the fear of the LORD in me, I shall not depart from Him (Jeremiah 32:38-40 (kjv)). If I shall not depart from Him, how then can I depart from Him? If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us...

Try to take my whole statement into account. I said that being sealed by the Holy Ghost means that I am motivated to stay within the boundaries and also that I cannot walk outside of them. Not because I have become a robot; but because I have become a sheep: and it is in my new nature to hate...

We are not made sinless; while we can be perfected (Hebrews 10:14, 1 John 3:9, 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (kjv); Jude 1:24, 2 Peter 1:10, 1 John 2:10; 1 John 3:7, 1 John 3:3, 1 John 2:6). We are perfected in that while sin still does continue to dwell in our mortal flesh, it is rendered dead...

Col 2:11 (NLT), When you came to Christ, you were “circumcised,” but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a spiritual circumcision—the cutting away of your sinful nature.[fn]

The New Covenant is not for Gentiles? (I think that Acts 10 & 11 deal with this issue quite clearly...)

Why the difference between the two?

Are not the two, deeply related?

Just a question for you... If I clean all of the dirt off of my body, can I say honestly that my body is without dirt? If I am cleansed from all sin, can I therefore say that I am without sin, honestly? Apparently there is more to this than meets the eye... I like to apply Matthew 8:1-4 to 1...

In John 5:24 (kjv), it should be clear that the one who hears the words of Jesus and believes on Him who sent Him shall not come into condemnation but has passed from death into everlasting life; from the moment of first faith. Jhn 5:24, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word...

Perhaps in that, we find in Romans 11 that the Gentiles are graffed into the olive tree that is Israel.

It is kind of a mindblower when you think about it. But it is clear that if you fear the LORD, you shall not depart from Him (Jeremiah 32:38-40 (kjv)). And that if you have the fear of the LORD, it is something that will endure for ever (Psalms 19:9 (kjv)). I think that the key is to take...

I think that you are mistaking me with some other posters here who are contending that a man cannot be saved apart from water baptism. That is not what I am contending. I am contending that baptism has the power to save a man; while a man may also be saved merely by "believing" ("should not...

Jesus is a wife-beater? He is going to subject His bride to the plague of locusts whose sting torments men for five months?
