Even Cornelius (in context) had to send for Peter so that he could hear the gospel before Cornelius and his household received salvation, with evidence of speaking in tongues.

It is not false. While righteousness (right standing with God) has within it a state of being holy and pure, this is not based on what we do to earn righteousness; for righteousness is given to us as a gift (Romans 5:17). How then can it be based on what we do? . . . If I do something in order...

Jhn 5:24, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. This scripture proclaims to me the eternal security of the believer quite clearly. "shall not...

It is nailed to the Cross in that we are forgiven of all of our sin(s); and that therefore our relationship to the law has changed. It no longer condemns us from the outside; while it still governs us from the inside.

However, he did say that righteousness is imputed to us apart from works, Romans 4:6. I will say also that the NT law (in the Sermon on the Mount) includes the OT law within it (Matthew 5:17-20). Therefore if we are saved through keeping the NT law, we are also saved through keeping the OT...

Jhn 14:6, Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. The fundamentalist, dogmatic position is actually very spiritual. It is the carnal mind that cannot receive the all of scripture is inspired by the Lord. the righteousness of...

In Romans 4:5, it is written that to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted to him for righteousness. Therefore the Lord justifies the ungodly person. However, He does not leave them in that state; for justification is to declare righteous...

However, salvation is unto keeping the OT law. 1 John 3:4-9. The source of our salvation is not in keeping a set of do's and don'ts; rather, we must believe in Christ so that He will makes us into new creatures in Him: as a result, we will be obedient to those tenets of NT law because His...

John 5:24, John 6:47, and John 10:27-30 are specific scriptures spoken by the Lord that speak to me of OSAS (more specifically, POTS). So, you are saying that Jesus' words are designed to turn people into reprobates?

It is Christ's---first imputed and then imparted to me, so that I own it personally.

I don't normally respond to your posts, @Davy, but your title of this thread attracted me, I will address it now. As believers in Christ we are not under the law (Romans 6:14), we are dead to the law (Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19) and we are delivered from the law. This means that if we are born...

More like new wine which is an acquired taste.

The Spirit will testify to who belongs to Him.

1Th 5:23, And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Th 5:24, Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. Heb 10:14, For by one offering he hath perfected for ever...

From Commentary on Romans. Rom 4:17, (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Rom 4:18, Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the...

There are those who use the scripture passage in question to defend their position against the doctrine of entire sanctification; but the teaching above refutes their argument.

Rom 3:9, What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; Rom 3:10, As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Rom 3:11, There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. Rom...

As for me, I am the righteousness of the Lord in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:21.

That the righteousness of Christ was imputed to Phinehas because of his faith; and that we know that Phinehas had faith because of the way that he expressed it. Better?
