John may have IMPLIED it, all I was attempting to do was define "saved" since your OP clearly defines what saved IS NOT without bothering to define what it IS. Your admonition is full of NO GRACE, NO PEACE as we struggle to earn our salvation through our obedience. I pray God grants you the...

Was that a YES or a NO to defining "Saved" as "having eternal life"?

Romans 10:8-13 [NASB] 8 But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for...

What about defining "saved" as "having eternal life"? John 3:14-18 [NASB] 14 "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; 15 so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life. 16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten...

Ironic that "GracePeace" offers neither GRACE nor PEACE, just the death that comes from the Law ... sin and condemnation. :cool:

Who has "left the faith"? Romans 10:8-10 [NASB] But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you...

All 169,000 Baptist churches would agree with you and they have always been divided on Particular Baptists (monergist) and General Baptist (synergistic) interpretation of those scriptures (often within the same local body of believers) without viewing those with whom we disagree as apostate or...

So Romans 14 is wrong?

Galatians 5:7-12 [NASB] “You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion did not come from Him who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. I have confidence in you in the Lord, that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing...

In America (USA), we hear the “Good News” often (both true and false ‘gospels’) but there is really very little effort at “making disciples” of those that accept the Good News. How did Jesus teach His disciples how to live and spread the message … was it a 6 week class and send them out to...

You omitted the exegesis that makes YOUR point. Few disagree with Scripture, but many disagree over its meaning and application: Matthew 18:9 [NASB] "And if your eye is causing you to sin, tear it out and throw it away from you. It is better for you to enter life with one eye, than to have two...

The figure is misleading. Every Baptist Congregation is independent because the Baptist “denomination” believes that every local body answers directly to Christ as the head of the Church … so each is counted as a “Christian Denomination” of 1 church in those sort of censuses. Other...

A little story that has nothing to do with anything: I once came upon a village idiot, sitting on a pile of manure and claiming it was food. I argued with him that it was not food, but he just kept eating the manure. Concerned for him, I began to wrestle with him to stop him from eating the...

“Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.” ― G.K. Chesterton The lesson from Children’s Stories is not that “bad things happen”. I can assure Ziggy as a foster parent that too many...

So I guess it is incomprehensible to you. Others that worship Baal, really believe that Baal is god. Jews killed Baal worshipers because Baal worshippers really claimed that Baal was God. You have Jews killing Baal worshipers because Baal worshipers do not claim that Baal is God and Jews...

They should have read Walt’s book. They forgot the basics of telling a good story. The original Star Wars (IV: A new hope) was a classic “coming of age” tale about a farm boy that leaves home with a “wizard” (like Merlin) and a “rogue” (like Robin Hood) to find adventure and prove himself a...

Is the difference between “not understanding the words” and “not believing what he said” really that incomprehensible to you? o_O They “understood” that Jesus was claiming to be equal to God. They “did not believe” his claims and attempted to stone him for the blasphemy of claiming to be the...

Umm … it is a common literary plot device. For a story to progress, the main character (protagonist) has to leave “home” and go on an “adventure”. It is the experience gained on this journey that changes the hero. This transformation gives the hero the power to overcome the obstacle that was...

I loved “The Sorcerer’s Stone” and liked the first 4 books. I abandoned the franchise when the author changed the tone and good people started dying off left and right. I am more of a Charles Dickens fan (where the hero prevails and the villain get’s his comeuppance) than a Shakespearean...

John 8:54-59 [KJV] 54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: 55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep...
