    We are judged by works, not by faith

    Those who believe they live a sinless, without fault or defect, flawless, absolute perfect life 100% of the time (exactly as Jesus lived) are suffering from a terminal case of self righteousness. (1 John 1:8-10)

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    Your reading comprehension culminates in eisegesis. I quoted Hebrews 11:1 (which is scripture) to explain what faith "is" and not merely a concordance. In all of my years on various Christian forum sites I have never met anyone as condescending and puffed up as you.

    People say you can not lose faith, God can't lose you, is that true?

    Your falsehood does not go over my head. I see right through it.

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    I know exactly what faith is. Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Don't flatter yourself with your "holier than thou" religious delusion.

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    I never said the righteous are hearers only and not doers of the word. I clearly stated - Only those who truly believe in Him are wise and hear the words of Jesus and properly act on them. Slandering Christians seems to be a hobby for you. I do not deny "if you love Me you will "keep" (Greek...

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    You remind me of the Pharisee in the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18:9-14. You glory in self rather than the cross. In Philippians 3:8-9, we read - Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have...

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    These many people in Matthew 7:22 had the wrong foundation. They were trusting in their works to save them and not in Christ alone. Jesus never knew them which means they were never saved (vs. 23) so they were not genuine believers. Their hearts were not right with God, so their "attempted...

    People say you can not lose faith, God can't lose you, is that true?

    Amen! Now in regard to the sinner's prayer, simply reciting a sinner's prayer will not accomplish anything on its own. I must have prayed the sinner's prayer 20 different times with Pat Robertson while watching the 700 Club when I was a teenager, yet nothing happened. Why? Because there was no...

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    Amen! 1 Corinthians 1:18 - For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where...

    Let me clarify this. I believe in "OSNAS" Scripturally, but...

    In Hebrews 10:26, the term "sin willfully" carries the idea of deliberate intention which is habitual and 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...

    Sardis: Being made righteous by faith is being made worthy by works

    Unrighteous "Christisn" sinners is an oxymoron. Jesus points out the lifeless state of the church in Sardis - "..you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead." This church may have had a name of being alive, but they were spiritually lifeless. In other words, the church was filled with...

    Seems like christianchat.com has disappeared

    Getting banned from that site is a badge of honor for patriotic Christians. I'm not surprised that site is now struggling.

    People say you can not lose faith, God can't lose you, is that true?

    It's like everything that I explained to you in post #302 just went right over your head. Your idea of remaining faithful equates to maintaining salvation by works. If you don't believe the gospel in the first place and have not yet received Christ through faith, then seeking to remain faithful...

    That sounds more like Christian Forums which is why I spend very little time there. I get sick of leftists hijacking political threads! There are many liberals on that site who suffer from TDS. https://www.christianforums.com/search/196925/?q=Trump&o=relevance...

    People say you can not lose faith, God can't lose you, is that true?

    Church of Christ folks seem to misinterpret Revelation 2:10 to mean that we must be "faithful enough" (in addition) to placing our faith in Jesus Christ for salvation or else we won't be saved yet just "how faithful would you have to be?" Where do you draw the line in the sand and say that you...

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    1 John 1:6 - If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. *Walking in darkness is...

    People say you can not lose faith, God can't lose you, is that true?

    When one truly repents sorrow is involved yet the Greek word for "repent" is "metanoia" (noun) and "matanoeo" (verb) and basically means a "change of mind." https://biblehub.com/greek/3341.htm So, repentance basically means a "change of mind" and the context must determine what is involved in...
