Act 2:40, And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Faith and works are mutually exclusive (according to Ephesians 2:8-9), I said. And faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of the Lord, Romans 10:17, so it is something...

And yet, even within your statement, it provides for the fact that there is a guarantee somewhere...all we have to do is lay hold of it. I believe that I have laid hold of it...so if you are trying to convince me that I personally can lose my salvation, you are barking up the wrong tree.

Somewhere down the line, perhaps.

A closer look at Ephesians 2:8-9 will reveal that faith and works are mutually exclusive. And yes, it is appropriated by our faith.

Faith is a requirement for salvation; that is such a basic Bible doctrine I am surprised that you are blind to its reality.

post #150 being the response to the logic set forth in the post I will quote here: Again, the answer being: Unbelief was paid for by the Cross; but the forgiveness of the Cross is only apprehended by faith. Therefore in order for someone to apprehend the forgiveness provided (for the sin of...

I suppose I will repeat the answer here for those who are lazy. Unbelief was paid for by the Cross; but the forgiveness of the Cross is only apprehended by faith. Therefore in order for someone to apprehend the forgiveness provided (for the sin of unbelief), they would have to repent of their...

edited post #144 (Calvinism is NOT a Cult!)

The sabbath is an interesting subject, although it is off-topic to this thread.

We're going in circles now, as this has been adequately answered. I suggest you go back and read the entire thread. <edit> Oops. Sorry, it was answered in the other thread: Calvinism is a Cult

I will leave you to argue with the Lord about that...now that you know the verses that contradict your opinion, it is up to you to reconcile them for the sake of your own faith's survival. Perhaps, if you cannot reconcile them, you will fall away, since you believe that that is a possibility...

Concerning Epignosis... It should be clear from Luke 8:13 that there is a person who believes for a while and then falls away. Nevertheless John 6:47 tells us that the one who believes on Jesus has "everlasting" life. So, I ask, how did the person who believed for a while fall away. Wasn't...

So then, when YOU sin, you are not enduring in the faith...are you therefore outside of what the Bible calls salvation?

If I believe the testimony of Jeremiah 17:9 when I hear it, does that mean that there was something inherently good in me? if that were so, to believe it would not be in the basis of reality. No, I believe in it because the Holy Spirit convinced me of it through His testimony. I still had the...

In and of myself, I am nothing. 2Co 3:5, Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Jhn 15:5, I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do...

Maybe somewhere down the line...probably not right away though. And probably not a ring...I'm thinking more in terms of a stud.

It's kind of like when the Pharisees came to Jesus and asked Him for a sign from heaven...when He had just gotten finished doing a bunch of miracles!

On the contrary: Eze 36:25, Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. Eze 36:26, A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of...

No, truly, it is not against my will for Him to keep me from falling and for Him to present me faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. I have surrendered my will to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and that has dealt with the rebellion that was in my heart. Having been...

It is perfectly harmonized in my mind, but I am not going to do your homework for you...if these scriptures are not harmonized in your mind, then you need to hash them out in your own thinking. The fear of the LORD in my heart keeps me from rejecting Him, as per Jer 32:38, And they shall be...
