More accurately, that "those who believe, believe unto eternal life."

In Matthew 28:19, both occurrences of the word "and" between the Persons is the Greek word "kai" which can be translated "even". Which is not to say that there is no distinction between the members in our Triune Godhead. It is to say that there is a certain Oneness in the Godhead that most...

I take the middle ground. I believe in POTS rather than OSAS (1 John 3:6, 1 John 2:17). And I believe that eternal security is given only to those who have the fear of the Lord in their hearts (Jeremiah 32:38-40 (kjv), Psalms 19:9).

No; I am saying that in Psalms 51:3, David is saying that he understands that in his own strength, he has no power over his sin(s); and that he knows that he is a sinner and that there are sins that he will yet commit in his future. When you add 1 John 1:9 to that confession, that is where...

...when someone named Ted has the captivation of the people in his church without the Son and the Million Dollar. This is the dream I had this morning. Num 12:6, And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will...

It seems to say in 2 Corinthians 12 that paradise is the third heaven. Thoughts or comments?

My phrasing is not the result of misunderstanding their doctrine, but of understanding my own.

Those things would indeed be a misunderstanding of what I am attempting to set forth.

Obviously this is the reason why we have continued discussion.

Or, if you are more inclined to read... Trinity vs. Tritheism

What point am I missing when I make my statements in post #15 (The true gospel of grace.) ???

Did that...but knew that there are those who wouldn't...therefore I sought to clear up the confusion with my own thread (title).

The statement is qualified by the understanding that one must be born again for their future sins to be forgiven...which means that their heart is no longer inclined towards wickedness but desires holiness to the nth degree. In such a case, there is no condemnation when you mess up because of...

The confusion came about because of the title of his thread.

In Psalms 51:3 it is clear that David's confession is of future sins. @Enoch111, I think that you missed what I posted in post #5 (The true gospel of grace.).

Although, in amillenialism it can put the fear of supernova in you; and I think that that is a good thing. I consider that amillenialism is a distinct possibility that I have not yet discounted in my theology.

Right. It is the Holy Spirit's job to bring a person to salvation in Christ. If anyone rejects the testimony of the Holy Spirit, rejecting that testimony being of satan, then how will they ever receive Jesus as their Lord and Saviour? The only thing that will truly keep a person out of heaven...

So, you're saying that the proper attitude is to claim accurately that you do not understand? Therefore, lack of understanding is the key to everything? I would say that if you are face to face with the Lord Jesus Christ, and say that you can understand everything better than Him, then that is...

Most assuredly, repentance is set forth as part of the means by which one gains access to the grace of Christ. However, I would say that a part of repentance is recognizing that we do not have power over the sin that dwells within us; and in turning to God for the strength to overcome...

Amen. I am in agreement with every statement above except for your contention that I have the changed the idea of what holy scripture teaches.
