1Co 1:18, For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

Mat 10:25, It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

The moment of salvation.

What future sins?

It is not faith + works. It is by a living faith alone which normally produces works. Thus, if someone comes to a living and saving faith in Christ (apart from works), and dies two minutes later (no opportunity for any good work), they will go straight to heaven.

A born again believer is someone who has repented of all of their sins. He who sins is of the devil...1 John 3:8.

None of these are works...all of them are the gift of the Lord to us.

We maintain our salvation by faith. Romans 1:17. Colossians 2:6 w/ Romans 5:2. Galatians 3:1-3.

1Co 1:11, For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 1Co 1:12, Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 1Co 1:13, Is Christ divided...

Righteousness is imparted to us as a free gift (Romans 5:15-19). If we hunger and thirst after it, we will be filled (Matthew 5:6). If we do righteousness, we are righteous; even as He is righteous (1 John 3:7). Pure, even as He is pure (1 John 3:3). We walk, even as He walked (1 John 2:6).

While I do not approve of the way that the preacher singled John out, I believe that there is biblical reasoning behind the concept that men ought not to wear hats, period. In 1 Corinthians 11, it declares that if a man prays or prophesies having his head covered, he dishonours his head. And...

@n2thelight; To be born from above has nothing to do with what you are talking about. It means that a man is regenerated and renewed on the inside; made into a new creature in Christ so that old things are passed away and all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17, Ezekiel 36:25-27). You...

You seem to expect people to believe you even when you are telling blatant lies. Rev 7:14, And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

The entire book of Revelation points to a time of Great Tribulation, I don't know what you're talking about! And Revelation 7:14, to me, doesn't appear to be "stretching" anything. So you are wrong in saying that it is suggested nowhere.

Rev 2:22, Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

Send it a little bit at a time; and I'm game.

Yes, indeed; as the church we obey the Lord. But this is not to say that we maintain our salvation through our obedience. We obey Him because we love Him; and we love Him because we are saved. His love is shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Ghost. No one has the Holy Ghost apart from...

You have obviously misquoted these verses. Heb 4:3, For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. Heb 4:7, Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in...

And you are saying this, in agreement with what I posted in post #21? I'm sorry, I need a little but more to go on. What part of my posts are you responding to exactly? And, if you are posting 1 Corinthians 3:15 as some kind of correction of what I posted, can you please elaborate on how you...

Indeed; however, we obey because we love Him; not because of any requirement to do so. Perfect obedience is required of those who seek to save themselves by what they do (works/obedience)...Galatians 3:10, James 2:10, Matthew 5:48. But for those who are saved by grace, we obey out of love and...
