    Many Say ‘Just BELIEVE’… But What Did JESUS Actually TEACH?

    We have been saved (from the PENALTY of sin) through faith (justification) and believers await the day they will be saved from the PRESENCE of sin (glorification). Its not uncommon for works-salvationists to confuse these two tenses of salvation. Abiding in Christ, bearing fruit and enduring...

    Many Say ‘Just BELIEVE’… But What Did JESUS Actually TEACH?

    Biblical hope is not some cross your fingers and hope you win the lottery kind of hope. Unlike the English word "hope," the N.T. word contains no uncertainty; it speaks of something that is certain. - Strong's #1680 elpís (from elpō, "to anticipate, welcome") – properly, expectation of what is...

    The NT was written in Greek and a concordance is a helpful tool that aids in understanding the original Greek.

    Many Say ‘Just BELIEVE’… But What Did JESUS Actually TEACH?

    We are saved by grace through faith, not works (Ephesians 2:8,9) hence, faith alone. Then the love of God is poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (Romans 5:5) We love Him because He first loved us. (1 John 4:19) Hence, faith works through love. (Galatians 5:6) Not to...

    1 John 4:7 - Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

    Many Say ‘Just BELIEVE’… But What Did JESUS Actually TEACH?

    Faith (rightlt understood) in Jesus Christ (alone) for salvation remains your boogeyman because you trust in works for salvation and not in Jesus Christ alone. (Romans 4:5-6; 11:6; Ephesians 2:8,9) In regard to James 5:19-20, notice - Brethren, if anyone "among" you wanders from the truth...

    Its not that we do absolutely nothing at all and are automatically saved, yet grace and redemption through Christ is God's part and receiving the gift of eternal life through faith is our part.

    Mental illness? LOL! Man is saved through faith and not by works (Ephesians 2:8,9); yet genuine faith is (evidenced) by works. (James 2:14-24) *Jesus Christ saves us through faith based on the merits of His finished work of redemption "alone" and not based on the merits of our works. (Romans...

    Many Say ‘Just BELIEVE’… But What Did JESUS Actually TEACH?

    Wow! :oops: 1 John 2:19 - They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. I don't teach a license to sin or sinless perfection. So how does that make...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    The different tenses of salvation often end up getting confused by those who teach salvation by faith AND WORKS. We have been saved from the PENALTY of sin (justification) - Romans 5:1 We will be saved from the PRESENCE of sin (glorification) - Romans 8:23

    Faith alone

    Oxymoron. If faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9) is not sufficient to save us then works along with faith would save us. Based on your contradictory statement, you indirectly said that works save us. You cannot have it both ways.

    It's all about obtaining and maintaining salvation by works with this guy. He is thoroughly indoctrinated into Roman Catholicism. Official Roman Catholic teaching would not allow the sinner to rely by faith on the mercy of God or to believe that his sins are forgiven for Christ’s sake only...

    Many Say ‘Just BELIEVE’… But What Did JESUS Actually TEACH?

    You guys? Why do you keep accusing me of being in the hyper-grace crowd? I neither teach a license to sin or sinless perfection. Hyper-grace seems to be your boogeyman, and you seem determined to get that indictment. Of course you do. :rolleyes: The point that I was making from that verse...

    Many Say ‘Just BELIEVE’… But What Did JESUS Actually TEACH?

    I have often heard folks who seem to be suffering from a severe case of anti-OSAS derangement syndrome say that hyper-grace teachers “pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality.” (Jude 1:4) I don't usually hear these folks accuse hyper-grace teachers of teaching sinless...
