Romans 10:1 - Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not...

Works-salvationists typically redefine repentance to mean "moral self-reformation" instead of a "change of mind" and then righteous actions/works (which are the fruit of repentance) end up becoming meritorious for receiving eternal life. That coupled with water baptism clearly culminates in...

Do you teach sinless perfection? (1 John 1:8-10) You are thoroughly mixed up and are chest deep in works righteousness. :( Repent (change your mind) --new direction of this change of mind--faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. Two sides to the same coin. (Acts 20:21) Titus 3:5 does not make...

See 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 for the purpose of judgment at the judgment seat of Christ for believers.

Amen! Biblical hope is certainly not some cross your fingers hope I win the lottery kind of hope. Unlike the English word "hope," the N.T. word contains no uncertainty; it speaks of something that is certain. - Strong's #1680 elpís (from elpō, "to anticipate, welcome") – properly, expectation of...

It was by or "out of" faith that Abel offered a sacrifice. Abel's faith was evidenced by obedience to God's requirement for sacrifice by which he obtained witness that he was righteous. (Hebrews 11:4) Cain, who was of the evil one, demonstrated an evil heart by evil deeds, which includes...

Portland woman knocked out by attacker blames city for slow police response: ‘We did this to ourselves’ https://www.foxnews.com/us/portland-woman-knocked-attacker-blames-city-slow-police-response-ourselves A Portland doctor said a homeless man knocked her unconscious while walking in the city...

Absolutely. Jesus never knew them. (Matthew 7:23) John 17:3 - And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent (which is an intimate, experiential knowledge, found only in a relationship). The term "know" implies intimate, experiential...

1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you first of all that...

These references certainly do support my beliefs. You said, "we are not saved until Christ says we are saved after death and then judgement." Jesus said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has (present tense, right now) everlasting life, and shall...

Faith that is firmly rooted and established in Christ continues and is not some shallow, temporary belief that has no root, produces no fruit and withers away.

Where do you keep coming up with this new age religion believer accusation? So born again = not saved yet according to you? John 5:24 - Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed...

No. I'm saying there are genuine Christians and there are "nominal" Christians. There are genuine believers and there are make believers mixed together in this large group of professing Hebrew Christians and in various churches and on various Christian forum sites.

Show me the words "no longer a saint" in scripture. Jerusalem in general was being addressed, but we can always find a remnant. Do you disagree with Psalm 37:28? God's saints are preserved forever. How long is forever?

The letter may have been written to Hebrew brethren, but that does not mean everyone in this group of "professing" Hebrew Christians were genuine Christians as I already showed you in post #33. It's not hard to find "nominal" Christians mixed in with any large group of "professing" Christians in...

Matthew 7:22 - Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? These many people were trusting in works to save them and not in Christ alone. Jesus never knew them (vs. 23) which...

I proved otherwise from the CONTEXT of Hebrews 10 but you are free to believe as you wish.

Jerusalem backsliding doesn't change this: 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. Those who are truly born of God have received a new nature, a divine nature (2 Peter 1:4) and...

If the word 'sanctified' in Hebrews 10:29 is used to describe saved people who lost their salvation, then we have a contradiction because the writer of Hebrews in verse 10 said "sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all" (Hebrews 10:10) and in verse 14, we read...

Those verses in Hebrews which "on the surface" appear to teach what you are saying don't match your eisegesis once read in context. Hebrews 3:8-10 says, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness, where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, and saw My works...
