On the other hand, we do not obtain our salvation by the works of the law, either (Galatians 2:16, Romans 3:20-21).

We are justified by the fact that Jesus died in our place. This was the shedding of His blood. Of course there is also the aspect of this where we are saved by His life in us. For the blood of Jesus sanctifies (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29, 1 John 1:7). But you do not deny that we are...

Just thought I would point people to the meat of the conversation. entire sanctification is an obtainable goal.

I made sure that there were still three ****bumps**** so that I could stay entirely sanctified...:rolleyes::D:cool:

So then, how is the following true... 2Pe 3:7, But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 2Pe 3:8, But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord...

What do you mean no...you disagree with the scripture that I referenced (Romans 5:9)?

That is a good idea, I think that I will do it.

I beg to differ with you. We are declared righteous through His blood (Romans 5:9); and is this not forgiveness? We receive the mercy of God, also, because of the shed blood of Christ on the Cross. For He took the penalty for our sins; and His life blood brings forgiveness to us. Case in...

Yes, however, the forgiveness that comes about through the blood of the Cross doesn't come about through our holy living. It comes about through our faith alone in Jesus Christ alone; and holy living follows.

Actually it is the opposite. Sin takes advantage of the law to produce in you all manner of concupiscence (Romans 7:8)...the motions of sins that bring forth fruit unto death are by the law (Romans 7:5). The devil loves this doctrine that you are teaching that men ought not to resist him...

@Episkopos, Jesus' blood brings forgiveness of sins; and that it the bottom line.

I bumped the post up to the top; in this case so it would be located before the thread that it links to in the order of threads on the message board.

Commandment keeping is the result of faith under the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4).

I would only say to this that the communication of our faith becomes effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus (Philemon 1:6). This is not to say that we are saved by the sanctification process...for we are saved when we are justified. But that when we...

So, the works of the flesh listed above are not sins...got it. I think that even the most naive reader can see that you are way out in left field here. The fact that Jesus was judged in our place does not amount to Universalism; because we have access by faith into this grace wherein we...

It is written in the Bible (in Jude 1:3-4 NIV) that there will come in teachers who will teach that grace is a license for sin (immorality); whose condemnation has been marked out long ago.

It is written, Act 20:28, Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Act 20:29, For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in...

Moving on.......

Sounds like a good combination; If it weren't for the fact that the teacher of it is in violation of 1 John 1:8.

Praise the Lord!
