I prefer the term, "preservation of the saints." (Psalm 37:28; Jude 1:1)

Romans 8:8 - then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, IF indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now IF anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And IF Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the...

Amen! Since it's common to find genuine Christians and "nominal" Christians mixed together all claiming to be genuine Christians that is a critical IF which brings confirmation for genuine Christians and a warning for "nominal" (or pseudo) Christians. :Thumbsup:

I remember reading an article in "The Ex-Catholic Journal" years ago that said, "some of the writings attributed to the Church Fathers have been found to be forgeries, while others have been taken out of context." Doctrines such as the Immaculate Conception, the Assumption, the perpetual...

I'm just going by what God's Word says. I'm not the judge of the universe.

John 17:12 - While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave MeI have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. Things don't look good for Judas.

Judas Iscariot was an unbelieving, unclean devil who betrayed Jesus. (John 6:64-71; 13:10-11) John 13:18 - I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; BUT that the scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.'

He also sounds like a troll who only cares about attacking the doctrine of OSAS and judging and condemning believers in the OSAS camp. He seems to be suffering from a severe case of anti-OSAS derangement syndrome. :(

Are you also a member of Christian Chat who goes by the avatar name of JimmyTheLock?

There are genuine Christians and there are "nominal" (pseudo) Christians. There are genuine believers and there are make believers. Salvation is not probation. Eternal life is not temporary life. Jesus is the door. He is not a revolving door.

Certain people may try to argue that the thief on the cross may have been converted, was water baptized, yet the fruit of that is being crucified as a thief? - (highly unlikely) In Matthew 27:39-44, we see that those who passed by, along with the chief priests' scribes and elders blasphemed...

The word "IF" here in Colossians 1:23 is not ean, but ei with the indicative, 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, and they really HAVE BEEN...

1 Corinthians 9:16 - For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me. 18 What then is my reward? Just this...

Amen! Jude is exhorting believers to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints (vs. 3) because certain ungodly men have crept in unnoticed. Jude further describes these ungodly men as ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit. (vs. 19) In...

Only God can infallibly judge the hearts of others. To the remaining 11 disciples, Judas Iscariot looked like the real deal, yet Jesus knew his heart and said, "he is a devil!' (John 6:70)

To abide simply means to remain, continue, not to depart. Abiding in Christ is the demonstrative evidence that He has given us His Spirit. 1 John 4:13 - By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has...

OSAS is not in question here. The test is to see whether or not their faith is genuine. Paul did not say "still" in the faith or "no longer" in the faith. Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. There are genuine Christians and there are "nominal" Christians. There are genuine...

You need a little more context. Jude is exhorting believers to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints (vs. 3) because certain ungodly men have crept in unnoticed. Jude further describes these ungodly men as ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid...
