Saved by works = trusting in self. Luke 18:9 - Now He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt: The Israelites had a major problem with this. They had a zeal for God but not according to knowledge and were ignorant...

You might as well be a Roman Catholic. They strongly oppose OSAS and teach we are saved BY works and put a lot of stock in the writings of the early church fathers. I've had Roman Catholics quote the early church fathers teaching such erroneous doctrines as infant baptism, transubstantiation...

More 'descriptive' passages of scripture. In regard to John 5:28-29, Jesus is describing those who did good deeds (believers) and will receive a resurrection of life. Jesus is not saying that these believers were saved based on the merits of their good deeds. What did Jesus say was the basis or...

Sodom and Gomorrah at the White House. :eek:

So, Ephesians 2:8,9 has nothing to do with personal salvation? Are you really that mixed up? :oops: Enduring to the end is a conditional confirmation that confirms one truly is a child of God. Of course, you misinterpret it to mean "type 2 works salvation" or salvation by works at the back door.

So, I should be trusting in SELF preservation rather than God's preservation? Then my theology would not be off the rails? I could also go back to living in fear and bondage to insecurity and being miserable. No thanks. Been there, done that already. Not interested in the Scriptures I cited...

Believing either OSAS or NOSAS is not what saves. Faith in Jesus Christ saves. (Ephesians 2:8,9) Nope. You seem to have a rigid belief about OSAS. The Roman Catholic church takes credit for a lot of things and they remain under the delusion that they are the one and only true church. I...

I've heard certain people in the NOSAS camp liken security in Christ to someone walking down a road with two high walls on both sides of the road and say that the believer is secure but is still free to choose to climb over the wall to the other side and imply that only a small percentage of...

I'm a bit off the rails? LOL! At least I'm a nice guy though, right? :Broadly: Matthew 7:24-25 is descriptive of believers/genuine Christians. Matthew 7:26-27 is descriptive of unbelievers/pseudo-Christians. In context, Jesus starts out in verse 15 with - Beware of false prophets, who come...

Heresy signifies a teaching or belief that deviates from essential Christian doctrine which deprives one of salvation. The Bible associates' heresies with false prophets and false teachers. 2 Peter 2:1 - “Now there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers...

Show me where I teach "a license to sin/a license for immortality." That is heresy and I do NOT teach that. Oh the irony. Gods inffallible Word is the only documentation I need. Fallible writings from fallible men are not infallible. That is the same sales pitch I hear from Roman Catholics...

So, everything that I explained to you in post #233 just went right over your head. You seem determined to conflate faith with works which culminates in salvation by faith AND works. Let the boasting begin! I have already thoroughly explained "faith without works is dead" (James 2:20) to you...

Amen! In regard to 2 Peter 2:20, those who are truly born of God have received a new nature, a divine nature. They have been transformed from pigs and dogs into sheep. The change is more than just cosmetic, as in 2 Peter 2:20. *These cleaned up on the outside dogs and pigs were never sheep.*...

That is a serious accusation which would make me a heretic who is not saved. Is that what you believe? I agree with what Jesus taught. Heresy would be teaching a license to sin/license for immorality which is NOT what I am teaching. Salvation by works/works righteousness is also heresy. What...

After a casual reading of the sheep and goats (Matthew 25:31-46), these verses "on the surface" may seem to suggest that salvation is the result of good works. Yet scripture proves itself right and non-contradictory when compared with the totality of scripture. This passage has to be taken...

It's one thing to believe "mental assent" that the DBR of Jesus "happened." Even the demons believe that. Yet it's another thing to actually TRUST in the DBR of Jesus as the ALL-sufficient means of our salvation. That is what it means to BELIEVE the gospel. (Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4)...

Having believed the gospel, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory - is permanent. (Ephesians 1:13-14) I could ask you the same question. Unfruitful believer is an...

Unsealed. Now there is a difference between the role of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament and in the New Testament in regard to "indwelling." The New Testament teaches the permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers. (Ephesians 1:13-14; 4:30; 2 Corinthians 1:22; 2 Corinthians 5:5)...
