Few enter through the narrow gate because few are truly trusting in Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation (John 3:15,16,18; 10:9; 14:6; Acts 10:43; 16:31; 26:18; Romans 1:16; 4:5-6 etc..) and instead are trusting in works for salvation. (Matthew 7:22-23)

I'm not part of new age religion so there is no need for slander. You need to consider the context when reading "faith without works is dead" in James 2.

As the apostle Paul stated in 2 Corinthians 11:4 - if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it!

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

Need to borrow this? ;)

I am trusting exclusively in Christ for salvation. What about you? So far all I'm hearing is that you are trusting in your performance/works for salvation. If you were standing at the gates of heaven right now and Jesus Christ asked you why He should let you into heaven, what would be your exact...

Sadly, I was wondering the same thing.

I already understand the verses in those many posts apart from the lens of your eisegesis.

Can you show me the words "lost salvation" in scripture?

I already "have been" (past tense with ongoing present results) saved through faith and my faith has been tested. I have experienced tribulation and trials (just like other Christians) and will continue to do so until I enter the Kingdom. I never claimed to be an elite Christian. That is a straw...

I see that you confuse the 3 tenses of salvation. 1. We have been saved from the PENALTY of sin (justification) 2. We are being saved from the POWER of sin (ongoing sanctification) 3. We will be saved from the PRESENCE of sin (glorification) Deception runs deep for those who preach...

Many of them were not already saved and repentance unto salvation precedes salvation through faith. (Acts 20:21) None of your probation arguments support losing salvation. You seem to enjoy arguing.

Denial? Not hardly. The testing of our faith does produce steadfastness for those who have authentic faith. This is not about probation in order to remain saved. I'm concerned about your confusion. Paul talks about examining/testing yourself to see if you are in the faith. (2 Corinthians 13:5)...

Israel was given the opportunity to repent and turn to the Lord, but many of them did not. This does not mean that all these Israelites were saved and were on probation in order to remain saved. That's what I mean by salvation is not probation.

I don't see the word probation here and in context, the Lord is talking about Jerusalem. (vs. 7) Those who leave Him demonstrate unbelieving hearts.

In Hebrews 3:19, take special note of we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief. 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 forty years. Therefore I...

Salvation is not probation. Eternal life is not temporary life. Jesus is the door. He is not a revolving door.

Did you misunderstand post #164? Jesus said those whom You gave Me I have kept and have lost none. Judas is lost so he was never given or kept. John 17:12 - While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son...

The gospel is not about believing you can lose your salvation. The gospel is the "good news" of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16). To “believe” the gospel is to trust in the death...
