    I need a scripture from you that says Trinity.

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    Heb 10:2, For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. Heb 1:3, Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had...

    Jesus' grace saves and "works" are part of that Salvation

    Ephesians 2:10 does not teach us that works are required for salvation. v.9 is clear that we are not saved by our works. And so are such passages as Romans 4:1-8, Titus 3:4-7, and Romans 11:5-6. Scripture is clear that we are justified apart from works. If someone receives Christ (see John...

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    What I am saying is that once I have repented of something, God has forgotten it and I also do not have to hold that sin in memory in order to continue to have victory over it. I do believe that the Lord wants total and complete surrender from us...if we do that, and there are sins that we have...

    I Wake Up, The Girdle Of Truth Is First On! (My spiritual belt)

    I know that I have presented a catch-22 to those who desire to drink.

    I Wake Up, The Girdle Of Truth Is First On! (My spiritual belt)

    Thank you, @"ByGrace". I know that I cannot put my rules on other people...I am however concerned about what I consider to be licentiousness in the church. I think a good meter for all of us to go by is... 1Co 6:12, All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things...

    Just for....those who, well, not just for some, but for all who would love God.

    Actually, Jesus is High Priest; but not after the order of the Aaronic priesthood: but according to the order of Melchizedec.

    I Wake Up, The Girdle Of Truth Is First On! (My spiritual belt)

    Be careful about what you say to people. Back when I was around 17 or 18, I was even more of a "wet blanket" than I am now...preaching against fornication to High School Students in the year 1990. (I often got the response in those days, "Judge ye not, lest ye be judged!"...I consider it to be...

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    God doesn't remember them either... Do I have to remember what all of them were for me to stop doing them?

    I Wake Up, The Girdle Of Truth Is First On! (My spiritual belt)

    It doesn't change the fact of what is written in Proverbs 20:1... Pro 20:1, Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. This is wisdom from Solomon. Now it is also true that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty... Gal 5:13, For...

    I Wake Up, The Girdle Of Truth Is First On! (My spiritual belt)

    And also, opening the door to this sin very often leads to bondage/slavery to it. And I would say also that if you have liberty to drink, have it to yourself before God (Romans 14:21-23)...don't flaunt your liberty in front of someone who might be stumbled by it. But then, if the only time you...

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    Yes, sins that are never repented of will place a man in hell.

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    Actually, all of us have sinned and come short of the glory of God...this does not preclude that we do sin now nor that we will sin in the future. See 1 John 3:5-9 and a plethora of other passages. Jesus turned the water into wine; and the Jews called Him a winebibber (for that He ate and...

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    Truly, a saving faith is an obedient faith. Faith without obedience is dead (and therefore there is a faith without obedience). The obedience doesn't save (Ephesians 2:8-9). Compare that to Romans 5:19 and other verses in Romans, and you will see that we are declared/made righteous by...

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    Philippians 2:12 is restated more clearly in 2 Peter 1:10...this is the real meaning of it; not that you work for your salvation with fear and trembling, but that you work it out...giving all diligence to make your calling and election sure. We love Jesus enough to obey His commandments, and we...

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    Yes...there is grace if or when we do sin. But for the sake of those whose iniquity is found to be hateful in their sight...I would proclaim to them that there is victory in Christ over the power of sin. I believe that there are both saved and unsaved who live according to Romans 7:14-25...

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    I have said in times past that in Psalms 51:3, David confesses all of his future sin(s); and that in this he is forgiven of all of his future sin(s)...1 John 1:9. But I would also desire to preach the reality that we can be righteous even as the Lord is righteous (1 John 3:7); pure even as He...

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    I am simply quoting 1 John 3:8...make your own conclusion about what that verse is saying to you.

    Choose to become a Born-again Believer and be caught up in the Rapture!

    There are those who would say that because Paul said that Christ sent him not to baptize, that therefore baptism is not a valid form of instituting salvation in a man's life. 1Co 1:13, Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? 1Co 1:14, I thank God...
