    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    Word salad of confusion. :oops:

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    After a casual reading of the sheep and goats (Matthew 25:31-46), these verses "on the surface" may seem to suggest that salvation is the result of good works. Yet scripture proves itself right and non-contradictory when compared with the totality of scripture. This passage has to be taken...

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    They are works produced from faith. That is 'descriptive' of children of God. Faith in Jesus Christ alone saves (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9) and good works follow. (Ephesians 2:10)

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    Keep going. (Romans 4:2-6; 11:6; Galatians 3:24-28; Philippians 3:9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9) Required to walk in for believers BECAUSE we are saved but not in order to become saved. Not saved by works but saved FOR good works is not a contradiction. (Ephesians 2:8-10) Initially not saved by...

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    It defeats the purpose of grace and also you boasting in your works. Not according to Ephesians 2:8-10. We are saved FOR good works and not by good works.You have it backwards. We are made alive together with Christ by grace through faith/saved by grace through faith, not works and created in...

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    I see that you continue to confuse 'descriptive' passages of scripture with 'descriptive' passages of scripture. That is a common error which is made by works-salvationists. If one reads Romans 2:6-7 in isolation from the rest of the book of Romans, one might conclude that Paul was teaching...

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    What tradition is that? It's the Roman Catholic church who has "added" tradition to scripture. What is the infallible rule of faith?' This remains a major dividing issue between Catholics and Protestants. And rightly so. We are building on different foundations. The Roman Catholic answers...

    Straw man argument. You cannot serve two masters. Christ and the Pope!

    John 3:36- Better to Obey Jesus, or to Believe in Jesus?

    There is no single justification by faith AND works. We are justified-accounted as righteous by faith and not by works (Romans 4:2-6) and justified-shown to be righteous by works. (James 2:21,24) The Greek word for justified has more than one meaning, depending on the context. It is through...

    John 3:36- Better to Obey Jesus, or to Believe in Jesus?

    In regard to "does not obey the Son" in John 3:36 in the English Standard Version translation of the Bible, this does not mean that receiving eternal life is based on the merits of our obedience/works which “follows” believing in the Son but obey by choosing to believe in the Son. If John wanted...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    I accept Acts 2:38 properly interpreted. Now in Acts 2:38, "for the remission of sins" does not refer back to both clauses, "you all repent" and "each one of you be baptized," but refers only to the first. Peter is saying "repent unto the remission of your sins," the same as in Acts 3:19. The...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Amen! Believers are not passive in continuing in sound doctrine, but it's not merely in our own power that we continue. God alone saves, but "in a sense" we save ourselves and others through continuing in sound doctrine, as we continue to believe the gospel and are used as God's instruments to...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    I'm yet to find a passage in the New Testament that unequivocally tells us that a genuine believer (truly saved person) really lost their salvation. Yet its not hard to find those who profess to be believers and even set out to follow the teachings of Christ then end up turning away. They are...

    What Does 'Surely Die' Mean?

    https://www.nonsda.org/study4.shtml SDA's also teach that the near the end of time the "mark of the best" of Revelation 14 will be placed upon those who worship on Sunday instead of Saturday. :eek: https://www.nonsda.org/study8.shtml The SDA message adds to the gospel, indeed. The SDA gospel...

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    The word of God is clear enough for those who will hear it, indeed. Sadly, certain folks just do not have ears to hear. We see the same errors repeated over and over again by works-salvationists. They conflate justification with sanctification and faith with works, which culminates in the gospel...

    If sealed with the HS, how does one become UNsealed ?

    Sadly, there are many folks who are "religious, but not right with God." False religion kills and only Jesus saves. ✝️ John 17:3 - And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent (which is an intimate, experiential knowledge, found only...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    If sinless perfection was a requirement to remain saved, then none of us would make it. (1 John 1:8-10)

    If sealed with the HS, how does one become UNsealed ?

    Some here seem to think that salvation is probation and eternal life is temporary life and Jesus is not the door but is a revolving door. It's truly sad. :( All we hear from these folks is the gospel according to SELF. SELF promotion SELF righteousness SELF preservation
