Luke 18:9 - Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous,  and despised others; 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not...

So, living the Christian life is not about following Jesus, according to you? It's all summed up in loving God and loving others as ourselves. We deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him. We keep (guard, observe, watch over) His commandments, we practice righteousness and not sin, we...

The Bible makes it clear in many passages of scripture that man is saved through belief/faith - "apart from additions or modifications." (John 1:12; 3:15,16,18,36; 5:24; 6:29,40,47; 11:25,26; Acts 10:43; 13:39; 15:7-9; 16:31; 26:18; Romans 1:16; 3:24-28; 4:5-6; 5:1-2; 10:4; 1 Corinthians 1:21...

I said IN NAME ONLY. Not a genuine believer but a make believer. Not merely specific works of the law but works in general. (Romans 4:2-6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5 2 Timothy 1:9) I never said otherwise. Ephesians 2:10 - We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto/for good works...

So now you agree? Progress. Jesus was not wrong. Jesus said believed for a while, but He did not say they were saved for a while. I already thoroughly covered this in post #118. Did you actually read everything I said or just skim over it? Not all belief is the same. BELIEF that is firmly...

IF confirms that faith was firmly rooted and established in the hope of the gospel to begin with, and they really have been reconciled. Again, it makes sense that Paul would speak this way because he is addressing groups of people who all "profess" to be Christians without being able to...

I previously cited Ephesians 2:10 and clearly stated that we are saved FOR good works. Not to be confused with saved BY good works. Christians are not under the law but are under grace. The Holy Spirit gives us understanding. (1 Corinthians 2:11-14) Necessary for what? To earn salvation? NO...

Not genuine Christians, but "nominal" or pseudo-Christians believe it. So, you believe that when Paul mentions works, he is only talking about specific works of the law and never works in general? (Romans 4:2-6; 11:6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9) Did Paul say we are saved by good...

Even though this shallow ground hearer in Luke 8:13 is said to have "believed," yet he is never said to have been "saved." How do we know that the shallow ground hearer was never actually "saved"? I will explain the reasons. First, his heart condition is contrasted with that of the "good...

IF is a confirmation. The word "IF" here is a confirmation, having here the idea of "assuming that you continue in the faith." That is, continuance would show that the person's faith was firmly rooted and established in the hope of the gospel to begin with, and they really have been reconciled...

Amen! James is not using the word "justified" in James 2:24 to mean "accounted as righteous" but is shown to be righteous. James is discussing the evidence of faith (says-claims to have faith but has no works/I will show you my faith by my works - James 2:14-18) and not the initial act of being...

Romans 11:6 - And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise, grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise, work is no longer work. When did I say that? Saved by grace through faith, not works. (Ephesians 2:8,9) You can't have it both ways. Who...

Here are some verses for you. John 6:39 - This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing but raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will...

As you can see it's not all about US. Psalm 37:28 For the Lord loves justice, And does not forsake His saints; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off. Proverbs 24:16 For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, But the wicked shall fall...

Prior to my conversion several years ago while still attending the Roman Catholic church, I had absolutely no assurance of salvation and was miserable! Fear and bondage to IN-security is no way to live the Christian life. Our assurance is found ONLY in Jesus Christ. (1 John 5:11-13)

In regard to Hebrews 10:26, to "sin willfully" here carries the idea of deliberate intention that is habitual, which stems from rejecting Christ deliberately. This is continuous action, a matter of practice. Now we don't walk along our daily life and "accidentally" fall into a pit called sin. We...

Salvation is not probation. Eternal life is not temporary life. Jesus is the door. He is not a revolving door.
