I can't prove anything to a 'spiritual narcissist' who only see's what he wants to see. I'm really not interested in your EISEGESIS or your ridiculous, repetitive straw man arguments. You sound more like a lawyer than a Berean.

I'm not interested in your EISEGESIS.

Go back and re-read posts #14, #19, #20, #22, #23 and #49. Only the Lord can open your eyes to the truth. (1 Corinthians 2:11-14)

Not that I am aware of.

Interesting article that may interest you (and I have read other similar articles) on the false doctrine of sinless perfection. https://www.christiananswerman.com/sinless-perfection/

Hebrews 12:6 (AMPC) - For the Lord corrects and disciplines everyone whom He loves, and He punishes, even scourges, every son whom He accepts and welcomes to His heart and cherishes. 7 You must submit to and endure [correction] for discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons. For what son...

I understand those verses just fine and I also understand how Campbellites try to "shoe horn" works "into" salvation through faith. Paul is crystal clear here and "works of righteousness" are works done in righteousness. How many genuine works of righteousness (works done in righteousness) do...

Oh how you love to wrongfully judge others to make yourself look better. So did the Pharisees. Your self righteous attitude is reaching the point of nauseam. In regards to Romans 6:17-18, before they obeyed that form of doctrine by choosing to believe the gospel (Romans 1:16), they had been...

No. I did not contradict myself. "Best defined" as a relationship with a Person (Jesus Christ) does not mean that it's not defined as a religion at all. I have no problem using the word "religion" and I cited "pure and undefiled religion" from James 1:27 (in my original post) which is only...

It's not salvation by works AT ALL. (Romans 3:24-28; 4:5-6; 11:6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Philippians 3:9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9 etc..). Those who have been saved by grace through faith have been sanctified "set apart/made holy" positionally in Christ (1 Corinthians 6:11) and enter the...

Then you also have folks who claim to be "Christian" yet are deceived by false religions into seeking salvation by works and end up merely going through the motions of religion, but never placing their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation and are not born again. Moral self-reformation is...

No contradiction here and I said nothing against Christianity being defined as a religion at all, yet was simply highlighting the fact that Christianity is a 'unique' religion in which born again Christians have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Hence, best defined. Take away the born again...

Christianity is best defined not as a religion but as a relationship with a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ. It is possible to be "religious" but not right with God. Just look at the Pharisees. Religion apart from a relationship with Jesus Christ is in vain. James 1:26 - If anyone among you...

An empty profession of faith/dead faith that remains "alone" (barren of works - James 2:14) is what James has in mind here. Hence, "faith alone" or "faith only" in that sense. James 2:24 - You see then that a man is justified (shown to be right) by works and not by (a bare profession of) faith...

It is through faith "in Christ alone" (and not based on our works) that we are saved and accounted as righteous on account of Christ (Romans 3:24; 4:5-6; 5:1; 5:9; Ephesians 2:8,9); yet the faith that justifies never remains alone (unfruitful, barren) if it is genuine (James 2:14-24). An empty...

In regards to 1 Peter 3:21, Peter tells us that baptism now saves you, yet when Peter uses this phrase he continues in the same sentence to explain exactly what he means by it. He said that baptism now saves you-not the removal of dirt from the flesh (that is, not as an outward, physical act...

In regards to Acts 22:16, as Greek scholar AT Robertson points out, baptism here pictures the washing away of sins by the blood of Christ, but it does not literally wash away our sins, contrary to his conclusion. Jamison, Fausset, and Brown Commentary makes not of the importance of the Greek in...

No Communist News Network for me.

There are genuine Christians and there are "nominal/pseudo" Christians. There are genuine believers and there are make believers and it's not hard to find them mixed together within professing Christendom and on various Christian forum sites.

Man is saved through faith and not by works (Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9); yet genuine faith is substantiated, evidenced by works. (James 2:14-24) Christ saves us through faith based on the merits of His finished work of redemption "alone" and not based on the merits of our works...
