Heb 12:1, Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Heb 12:2, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who...

Chastening and punishment are two different things. I think that the scriptures on Jesus forgiving future sin(s) are found in Rom 4:8, Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. Heb 9:12, Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the...

The wages of sin is death (eternal separation from God). This is talking about spiritual death, agree or disagree?

I agree; but what do you make of the following: Rom 8:12, Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. Rom 8:13, For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Rom 8:14, For as many...

The only reason why we deem "sinless perfection" to be a false message, is because we find that we do not have it ourselves; and surely something that we do not have personally cannot be a reality in anyone's life?

I do not believe in satan and neither do I have faith in him. I do believe that he exists.

Yet, if you have not made a decision to believe in / receive Christ, you can be certain that you have not been born again. Unless you know you have been saved from the perspective of time (cf. Jhn 1:12, Rev 3:20, Rev 22:17), it is presumption to think that you are one of the elect.

If you believe in Jesus you put your trust in Him.

The common cry of those whose hearts have been pricked by the Holy Spirit.

That's where we disagree. I hold that believing is simply the verb form of the noun faith.

Heb 4:9, There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. Heb 4:10, For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Heb 4:11, Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. Heb 4:12...

God loves everyone...John 3:16...not everyone is saved.

Considering that salvation is by faith (believing) the second soil (Luke 8:13) is someone who is saved; but who then proceeds to fall away so that they permanently lose their salvation. Their faith was only nominal, lukewarm, and shallow; mere mental assent to the tenets of the gospel.

It is possible for the Christian to backslide...and if he slides too far...damnation.

No.

I love you too.

That salvation is not of works does not mean that everyone who is truly born again will not be obedient. Rom 6:16, Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Rom 6:16, Know...

OSAS gives such people (those who keep on living a carnal life, but who think they are saved) a false assurance. I think that we are both in agreement that if someone lives a carnal life after making a profession, they are not really saved. However, OSAS might tell them that they are indeed...

A person can believe for a while and then fall away according to Luke 8:13.
