The Bible teaches this "heresy". Luk 8:13, They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. Do you believe and/or teach that those who fall away continue to have salvation? If...

Here, you say that people can adopt a new nature under the OT. You seem to be here arguing that people could not be saved in the OT.

Again, anyone can read through your posts (while I don't suggest that they do so because they might be deceived by them) and find your statements on the subject; unless you went back and changed your posts. I do recall you saying to me what I think you said to me; but if you didn't then you...

@Behold, you seem to be teaching that if someone has faith in Jesus, and subsequently falls away (ceases to have faith in Jesus), that they are still saved. Is this what you are teaching? Luke 8:13 is clear that a man can believe and then subsequently fall away because of temptation. Not...

So, @Behold, it seems to me that you are teaching that if a man has faith and then falls away later (see Luke 8:13) that he continues to be saved. That those who fall away (who cease to have faith in Jesus), continue to have salvation. That is heresy, my friend. I am saved by grace through...

If you have sinned, the prescribed remedy is to repent and confess your sin. The way to get out of that is not to stop repenting and confessing; but to stop sinning. Not necessarily; for there is a promise in Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39, Colossians 2:12, Romans 6:1-4, and 1 Peter 3:20-21...

I'm not saying that I always succeed at being this...but something that stands out to me in the Bible is the word tenderhearted (Ephesians 4:32).

If you absorb this material, I believe that the Lord will raise you up as a minister to your people. To @Yan.

To @Yan, I would encourage you to read what I have written in the following threads: Wet Paint Principle (Freedom) Commentary on Romans.

An unregenerated person can indeed do good; but that good is tainted by sin, so that it is as filthy menstrual rags before the Lord (Isaiah 64:6). It can appear to be beautiful outwardly and righteous before men; but on the inside and before God, it is as dead men's bones (Matthew 23:25-28)...

If Jesus had long hair (for the depictions and portrayals of Him may in fact be fabricated), He did so because of a Nazirite vow (Numbers 6). However, there is no record of Jesus taking a Nazirite vow. He is called a Nazarene; which refers to His home town of Nazareth: but as to whether He...

Now in teaching that we ought to tithe, I am not speaking from the perspective of one who might be able to receive tithes; but I am speaking from the perspective of one who has tithed of my income and been blessed as a result. I am saying it as a fellow believer; as one beggar telling another...

Who we are continues to be sinners (people who have indwelling sin, 1 John 1:8). So our repentance has to do more with action than who we are on the inside. In me, that is, in my flesh, there dwells no good thing (Romans 7:18). But, inasmuch as my spirit has become one with the Holy Spirit (1...

THROUGH FAITH.

I don't preach what "tickles the ears" to people.

You there, @Doug?

Note post #97 of the following thread. Link: Seeing Sanctification

Hi, @marks, I do believe that we are to mortify the deeds of the body in the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:12-13, Colossians 3:5-6.

Believing what it says in 1 John 1:8-9 helps me quite a bit, actually. While it is not true that I am living a life of bondage to sin, so that I am continually sinning and repenting. It turns out that the repenting availed for me when I did it.

I am saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 5:1-2) Jesus is my Saviour; and I have access to Him through faith. No, I am trusting in Christ. Trusting is the same thing as faith. So if I am trusting in Christ, it is my trust in Christ that gives me access to what Christ did...
