Remember, all sins have been paid for. If a believer sins, he is disciplined in this life. Salvation is not the kind of issue that can be lost or forfeited. Your understanding of this basic truth, leads me to believe you are a babe in Christ. That is not intended to be an insult; you have to...

Okay, adios.

I am dumbfounded how you understood me such that this post need be written.

While we are in fellowship (all known sins confessed), we are not able to sin (we are in fellowship with Christ). But James tells us that we sin when we are lured out of our protected position in Christ (sanctification, not justification), exit our temporary fellowship, and then, and only then...

And again, forgiveness of sins deals only in his life. Just so you understand, this judgment is given to believers (hence "Father"). This was provided at the Cross, with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. Since you haven't responded to some of the verses I cited, I will provide them for...

Like I said, sins only deal with this life on earth. This promise was given to the Apostles exclusively. Again, sins only deal with this life. BTW, this is a promise to believers only. The confessing sins is not given to unbelievers.

Here it is: GJohn 10 37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father. 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.” No other religious founder can say the words Christ said in...

The eternal consequences for non believers who do not accept God's offer of salvation is to be destined to the Lake of Fire. They are lost forever. I rather think we both agree on this question. The Scripture that teaches this to us are the same ones you use! Did you know that Jesus gave an...

Do me the honor of showing me where in the Bible your comment (on these IFs) is supported. Here you have two prerequisites for a person to get saved. The only issue one needs to follow is to have faith in Christ. How much faith? Anymore than none at all. Unbelievers do not need to have the...

No mention of sin in these verses. You last comment is correct.

What does this verse have to do with a literal interpretative method? Try to answer this question without posing another question. Anyone can ask questions all day, but to make propositional statements takes a lot of studying the Word. The only eternal consequences that unbelievers will ever...

Using the literal, grammatical, contextual, cultural method of interpretation, I would say absolutely. Using the interpretive method you use, no. We don't have different interpretations, but we have radically different interpretation methods. I can tell you do not read a lot of theology. Since...

Notice that the unbelieving false teachers have been bought (redeemed), not potentially bought. see 2 Pt2.1k and 1 John 2.2 see also 2 Cor 5.19. There are literally hundreds of verses that teach this dogmatically. Show me the sins at the Judgment seat of Christ or at the Great White Throne.

What was wrong with the verses I gave you? 2 Pt 2.1 clearly states that the false teachers have had their sins paid for. The sins ARE paid for and they ARE unbelievers. This nonsense that Christ potentially paid for the unbelievers' sins is in clear contradiction to 2 Pt 2.1 and 1 John 2.2, and...

Just to bring up one aspect of this discussion. Personal sins are not the basis for eternal condemnation. Nobody is condemned to the lake of fire because of their sins. Christ paid the penalty for all sins; that's the good news (gospel). In fact, God did not impute the sins onto the person who...

Take special note of anyone who does not obey our instruction in this letter (not in the churches). Do not associate with them, in order that they may feel ashamed.

And this is the case for those who have the same method of interpretation.

I think you are struggling with the fundamental clarity of scripture. An interpretation comes after an interpretation method is chosen. I take the scriptures as literal (historical, lexical, grammatical, etc) . Those who also take the scriptures literal will basically come to a literal...

Whom do we believe? The one who is in agreement with Scripture. How does the bible teach us to baptize? John the Baptist demonstrated that for us. I'm on another thread and most on there don't even know how to baptize! If so, they are ignorant of scripture.

2 Pt 1.3 His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
