We are under a new covenant that has different specifics than the old.

Letting the blind be leaders of the blind here...

It was indeed written to the children of Israel who are scattered abroad. However, the children of Israel are not saved any differently than are Gentiles: Act 15:7, And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago...

1 John 3:17-18 can easily and accurately be construed as saying that faith without works is dead, if you count it in conjunction with Galatians 3:14 and Romans 5:5. It is not that we have to have works; or that we must try and try and try to do good works in order to save ourselves; but it is...

Evidently you didn't read my whole post. Proverbs 18:13 might be a word of wisdom for you.

Psa 31:22, For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. Job 14:7, For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. Job...

He did the work by faith; and he was accounted righteous through the faith that produced this work. So then, he was not accounted righteous by the work; but the work resulted out of the faith that justified him: and there is a sense in which they are not to be separated when it comes to...

A Born Again Christian is a new creature in Christ; and is automatically a true believer, if he is truly born again. I think that you are using the term BAC too loosely.

I would remind everyone of the three specific verses on eternal security that are most often quoted; which must be integrated into our theology as holy scriptural truth: Jhn 5:24, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life...

None of the warnings have any effect on my belief in eternal security; because I believe that the following is the condition of the true believer: 1Jo 3:6, Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 1Jo 2:17, And the world passeth away, and...

Act 21:20, And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law: Indeed, they were zealous of the law. And there is nothing wrong with that, if you understand what the...

This would indicate that total and complete surrender is necessary for salvation... What are anyone's thoughts on this?

It is not adding....it is including what truly belongs there.

Calvinism does deter many a person from receiving Christ into their heart as Lord and Saviour; and is also conducive to those who do receive Him thinking that they may not have salvation after all (because if God didn't choose them, it doesn't matter that they chose Him). Therefore I consider...

But of them that believe unto the saving of the soul.

2Co 5:17, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Phl 2:13, For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Eze 36:25, Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be...

In this you appear to be saying that James was preaching a false gospel; which is a step above what you said before, that his book is merely intended not for Gentiles. If it is a false gospel, then it is spiritual poison for the Jew as well as the Gentile. Actually, you need to take all of...

Trusting in the finished work of the Cross will have the effect of making one into a new creature in Christ: 2Co 5:17, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. A new creature in Christ is inclined towards doing the...
