You and I just don't see eye to eye on this topic. In regard to Matthew 7:21-23, do you believe these many people who Jesus said He never knew were genuine believers? What do you believe God's will for these many people were in obtaining salvation that they failed to do?

2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. We have been changed. Praise God! To renounce one's faith would demonstrate to me that one's faith was never firmly rooted and established from the...

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...

The Greek word for "keep" is "tereo" which simply means guard, observe, watch over. Strong's Greek: 5083. τηρέω (téreó) -- to watch over, to guard 1 John 2:3 - By this we know that we have come to know Him, (already know Him/already saved/demonstrative evidence) if we "keep" (Greek word...

I already surrendered to Christ several years ago through FAITH (Ephesians 2:8,9) and not through self-righteousness. (Luke 18:9-14; 1 John 1:8) Here is a lesson for you from Greek scholar AT Robertson. 1 John 3:6-9 Sinneth not (ουχ αμαρτανε). Linear present (linear μενων, keeps on abiding)...

1 John 1:8-10 clearly refutes sinless perfection and contradicts your ideological interpretations. 1 John 1:8 - If we say that we have no sin, (present tense) we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse...

The writer was not teaching sinless perfection in contradiction to (1 John 1:8-10). By the time we get down to verse 39, we can see that the writer of Hebrews sets up the CONTRAST that makes it clear he was referring to make believers/nominal Christians and not saved Hebrews: But WE are not of...

To "sin willfully" (Hebrews 10:26) carries the idea of deliberate intention 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 exercise our will but, the use...

Luke 6:45 - A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil teasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Jesus explains the sense of the entire passage in John 6 when He says, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." (John 6:63) Jesus used figurative language to emphasize these great spiritual truths. Jesus is not...

None of us are worthy "in of ourselves" to obtain salvation/receive eternal life. (Romans 3:10-12; 23; 6:23) Through FAITH, believers are "accounted as worthy" (Luke 20:35) and "accounted as righteous" (Romans 4:5-6) because we believe in Him/trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation and not in...

People will try to find sneaky ways to "add" works to salvation by grace through faith, not works. (Ephesians 2:8,9) Some will try to "shoehorn" works "into" faith and basically redefine faith to "include" works. Example: Here is a statement below from a Roman Catholic who I was once in a...

It's one thing to believe that the death, burial and resurrection of Christ "happened" and yet it's still another thing to actually believe in/have faith in/trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of our salvation (Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4)...

I was born and raised in the Roman Catholic church, and although they believe faith is important, they do not believe in eternal security of the believer because they believe that salvation is also based on the merits of our performance/works. Official Catholic teaching would not allow the...

We all have our weird moments. Maybe we should just move on and call it a day. :)

I never claimed to be an Apostle.

You never did clarify your question which demonstrates to me that It was a loaded question anyway.

Your question sounds ambiguous. You need to clarify your question and you also need to cool off.

The Word of God is not injuring me because I am in agreement with God's Word. Hebrews 4:12 is a great verse. ;)

Are you saying that I have no authority to call out false doctrine using scripture?
