I already told you in post #346 (The Eternal Security Heresy: A Comprehensive Refutation of OSAS).

Perseverance of the Saints...the original "P" in TULIP. Everlasting life means everlasting faith (Ephesians 1:13-14, 2 Corinthians 1:22, 2 Corinthians 5:5; Galatians 5:22-23, 1 Corinthians 12:9; Ephesians 4:30).

It equals POTS. I sincerely doubt that....for in fact the holy scriptures are clear that if a man hears Jesus' words and believes on Him who sent Him, that he shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death unto everlasting life (John 5:24 (kjv)).

Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is simply to reject Jesus Christ and His gift of salvation unto the day of one's death (see John 6:37).

Gnosticism? Sophia is the name given for wisdom by the gnostics. This is the reason why Paul wrote Colossians 2:1-4.

Concerning Martin Luther's anti-semitic rants... Luther is merely credited with discovering the reality of salvation by grace through faith apart from works. However, the doctrine itself is biblical. If it were not a biblical doctrine, then Martin Luther's anti-semitic rants would be just...

Not if I can help it.

While we will be judged by our works; it is also true that we are not saved by our works. Huh? Salvation is a work of the Lord within us wherein we become inclined towards doing good works that make us pleasing to the Lord. The works that we do out of that inclination are not what saves us...

No one can be a doer of the word unless they are first saved by grace...we cannot obey the Lord without the Holy Spirit first dwelling in us. Every commandment that we find in the word, that tells us what the standard is to which we must measure up, is the law given as a schoolmaster to bring...

A "mixture of faith and works" being salvational, is contrary to scripture (specifically, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:1-3, Colossians 2:6)

I believe that he is pointing to the parable of the judgment of the sheep and the goats.

@Heyzeus, I think that maybe you are focusing on the judgment in particular. It is true that we will be judged by our works. However, salvation is regeneration and renewing in the Holy Ghost, which will produce the good works through which we will be judged worthy of the kingdom of heaven...

My point is that those who are wanting and needing absolute assurance can have it...if they will cleave to the Lord in faith (Acts of the Apostles 11:23).

Yes, works are not always the result of salvation...and the fact that works don't save you ought to tell you something....that you can have many works and will not be saved by them. The fact is that my doing any work does not have the power to regenerate and renew me in the Holy Ghost....that...

We are contending that if I give $5 to the poor, or even $5,000,000; that this is not going to regenerate me and renew me in the Holy Ghost and produce salvation within me. I cannot obtain the love of God by pretending to have it. The love of God, enters in, only by faith (Galatians 3:14...

No...it is not works that save. But genuine faith will produce a changed heart and life...which will produce works....but the works don't save....rather, the changed life is the salvation that is produced through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone.

Chapter and verse?

Sorry, I didn't see you do that, can you do it again? I will also quote Paul again, if Paul is applicable. That is not "ignoring the teachings of Jesus" that is applying the whole of scripture to what is being discussed....see 1 Corinthians 2:13 (kjv)

Someone who is a killer all their life is not saved by grace through faith (unless their killing is a military duty)... 1Jo 3:14, We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 1Jo 3:15, Whosoever hateth his...

James had a simple message...that if you are truly saved by grace through faith, it is going to change your life. We are not saved through the life change...salvation is the life change.
