In John 15:2-6, the branches that bear fruit and remain are genuine believers (like the remaining 11 disciples). The self-attached branches that bear no fruit and do not remain are not genuine believers (like Judas Iscariot who was an unbelieving, unclean devil who betrayed Jesus - John 6:64-71...

Yes, we have been saved from the PENALTY of sin (justification) we are being saved from the POWER of sin (ongoing sanctification) and we will be saved from the PRESENCE of sin (glorification) These 3 tenses of salvation often get mixed up by works-salvationists.

Eisegesis - the process of interpreting a text in such a way as to introduce one's own presuppositions, agendas or biases.

Unbelievers are not His saints, whether Jews or Gentiles or the body of Christ made up of Jews and Gentiles. Romans 11 is speaking of collective ecclesiology and not individual soteriology in regard to Jews and Gentiles.

Did God forget to mention that in Psalm 37:28? What God said about His saints being preserved forever is crystal clear in 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. Show me where God...

I already covered this with you in post #430. You can only walk by faith if you are in the faith to begin with. https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/abiding-in-christ-necessary-for-eternal-life.58947/page-22#post-1697031

Well good, that's a start.

I am just not buying what you are selling. 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. So much for His saints being blotted out of the book of life, but feel free to believe whatever you...

This is the same bogus argument that Roman Catholics use as well in order to "get around" the fact that we are saved by grace through faith and not by works in general. So, you also teach that we are saved by "these" works (works of love/good works etc..) and just not "those" works (works of the...

Your eisegesis is not consistent. There are those who hold the view that the book of the living and the Lamb's book of life are two separate books while others believe they are the same book and contain the names of every person who has physical life upon the earth. Revelation 13:8 indicates...

Take special note of - "for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us." :vgood:

Just man up and answer YES or NO. I do consider what the Lord says about this and not what others and especially not what you think. 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. John...

Not hardly and your arrogance is really showing. In regard to Galatians 6:7-8, the one who is continuously (Greek present tense) sowing to his own corrupt, flesh which is opposed to God and unrenewed by the Holy Spirit shall of the flesh reap corruption. Our life here is sowing of one kind or...

I did not remove Hebrews 12:14 from the Bible. I simply corrected your eisegesis. It amazes me to see how everything that I explained to you in post #11 just went right over your head.

Amen! 1 John 5:11 - And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that...

I will ask you again. Are you saying that ALL Christians in the OSAS camp will be condemned to hell? So anyone who agrees with even just one point of TULIP or agrees with any part of reformed theology at all will be condemned to hell? YES or NO? This really does not pertain to me because I'm...

Jesus is the Bread of Life and just as bread nourishes our physical bodies, Jesus gives and sustains eternal life to all believers. John 6:35 - "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." Jesus used figurative language to...

Revelation 2:4 - (AMP) But I have this [charge] against you, that you have left your first love [you have lost the depth of love that you first had for Me]. This characterized the church as a whole but it does not mean that each individual member of that church no longer loved the Lord at all...

In regard to the church in Ephesus in Revelation 2, the Lord wanted the members of that church to repent (change their minds) about their attitudes regarding their works. "You have left your first love/repent and do the first works." (Revelation 2:4-5) Works of love no longer characterized the...
