Nothing except repentance to receive the Holy Spirit. But after that...2 Peter 1:5-9. 5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness...

Don't forget your reference for my sake. I use 1 John 3:21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.

Correct. It is God that gives the increase. 1 Cor. 3:6. He finishes what He started. But to never change from the beginning of your walk is written by Peter 2 Peter 1:9 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

Faith and obedience go hand in hand. That is what those with the Faith Alone doctrine don't understand and have in fact misinterpreted what faith actually is.

Our sin nature is taken care of at that moment, but what is it that Jesus commanded? Perfection! Holiness! That is beyond sinlessness. That is like God.

That would mean that no one believing in OSAS has any assurance they are known by Jesus and are one of the chosen.

Just as we who are born again and filled with His Spirit have the mind of Christ and abide in Him and He in us, 1 Corinthians 2:16, 1 John 3:24, Jesus had the mind of the Father - they are inseparable; they are one. John 17

I cannot see how Matthew 7:22 in context (21-23) can possibly be used to justify OSAS. It proves the opposite.

Blood from childbirth? Oy vey!

The right interpretation of that verse in 1 Cor. 3:11-15 is someone's false doctrines they themselves create (eisegesis) to be followed (a church father) that will be burnt, not righteous works. It means there are some doctrines that attract sinners with itching ears to believe they are saved...

You're right. God doesn't. But naming a demon, Mary is disrespectful to the mother of Jesus who is not a demon. Did this fact really pass right over your head?

Folks, This is what happens when eisegesis runs rampant. Romans 6 already points out that we are dead to sin. Romans 7:5 (if he had read the CONTEXT!) says a Christian is not in the flesh, because the flesh is past tense ("WHEN we were in the flesh") and Romans 8:9 agrees that "but a Christian...

Read the letters Jesus wrote to the Catholic/Orthodox church age - Thyatira at the end of Revelation 2 (Jezebel is the old name representing the pagan religion of the goddess and child that the original Jezebel was a high priestess in) This is why you can't find any references of the assumption...

What is the difference of exegesis and eisegesis? Exegesis is legitimate interpretation which "reads out of' the text what the original author or authors meant to convey. Eisegesis, on the other hand, reads into the text what the interpreter wishes to find or thinks he finds there. It...

RIGHT!

Yes, July 24

So your answer to the title is yes. I'll see if I can add a poll. Look for it. Edit: I can't add a poll.

That's just it. I thought I did. Maybe it is my advanced age, but I'm going to limit myself to only two glasses in a whole evening.

One problem in many theologies is believing faith alone is enough for GOD. Peter criticized them for not growing further in the knowledge of Jesus and Christian living. Read 2 Peter 1:5-11. How many people have heard a sermon on this passage. It should be brought from the platform every week...

I know and agree. Don't know what would make your eyes roll. LOL Unless you don't understand how the letter kills. Those same laws written on our heart changes our very nature. It isn't imputed righteousness, it IS righteousness. Take for instance the Sabbath commandment. There is no way to...
