    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    1 John 1:9 is the truth. 1 John 1:9 illustrates the price Jesus Christ paid for us to continue in righteousness. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Romans 8:1 gives us two distinct and different walks, or lifestyles of those who are in Christ Jesus. There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1 The two different lifestyles of those...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    No one is justified, by disobedience. No one is saved by disobedience. If you believe such nonsense then that's on you. Here is what the scripture plainly says about who receives eternal salvation. And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Sounds like more rambling and excuses with no scripture, no have you addressed the scripture I have given. Look, if you want to follow the teachings of man, have at it... it's your choice. Jesus warned those who are "in Him", to remain "in Him". If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Please use scripture. Paul give a clear contrast between those who walk according to the Spirit and those walk according to the flesh. I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Amen. I agree. The Lord doesn't expect as much from a babe as He does from those who have been in Him for a season. To whom much is given, much is expected. Jesus taught them the truth of John 15 almost 3 years after they started following Him.

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    I confess my sins and ask God to search my heart and reveal to me any hidden sin. I reject the false teaching that all our future sins are forgiven, so we have no need to confess our sins. Spending time in His Presence is how to live according to the Spirit. If we live in the Spirit, let us...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    You post scripture reference with no actual scripture. Please copy and past the post where I stated a "salvation by works" statement. Here is the truth - Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1 Those "in Him" refer to born again Christians. Those "in Him" who do not walk according to the flesh, are not under condemnation. For those...

    Miracles, healing, tongues, and the interpretation of tongues were temporary sign gifts limited to the apostolic age and have, therefore, ceased.

    I don't use the word Trinity because it's not scriptural. I use the word Godhead.

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    That's because those who follow the teachings of man, and unfamiliar with the words of truth. The truth disrupts the darkness. The entrance of the truth brings light. The darkness hates the light. Doctrines of demons are built in the mind by deceiving spirits who must protect their stronghold...

    Here is the truth - If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

    Miracles, healing, tongues, and the interpretation of tongues were temporary sign gifts limited to the apostolic age and have, therefore, ceased.

    Yes, really. Building our understanding from scripture is how we know and understand the truth. Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 2 John 1:9

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    You don't post scripture. You state your opinion and tag your opinion with a scripture reference. I have found in the many years of posting on these forums, that people who do these things have no interest in the truth. Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He...

    Miracles, healing, tongues, and the interpretation of tongues were temporary sign gifts limited to the apostolic age and have, therefore, ceased.

    Let's start with scripture, so we can understand what the Lord is wanting us to know about this subject. Please post the scripture where the term "apostolic age" is used. JLB

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Only those who remain in Christ produce fruit. Here is how we are instructed to remain in Christ - Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. 1 John 3:24

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Is John promoting a false religion? He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1 John 2:4 Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    You have refuted nothing. There is no eisegesis in my post, only scripture. Maybe you believe the Apostle John is lying in what he wrote? He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1 John 2:4 Please give us your "exegesis" of this...
