There are 3 tenses to 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) Hence, the hope of salvation. In regards to the word "hope" this is...

I plan on retiring by next year. Don't plan on missing the headache or the high school drama. My wife will make sure that I never get bored. :D

Utter nonsense indeed. Typical straw man argument from Eternal IN-securitsts. :rolleyes:

Amen! John 1:12 - But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name. Galatians 3:26 - For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. We receive the Holy Spirit through the obedient act of choosing to believe the...

Amen! Those who teach otherwise are putting the cart before the horse and the end result is works righteousness.

Sabbath keeping (with all it's rules and regulations) was part of a covenant with Israel (Exodus 16:23, 29; 31:12-18; 35:1-3; Leviticus 19:30; 23:2-3, 32; Numbers 15:32-36; 28:1-10; 29:39-40; I Chronicles. 23:30-31; II Chronicles 31:2-4; Isaiah 1:13; Amos 8:5; Nehemiah 10:31) that is not binding...

I can see that the KJV only cult has really done a number on you. :(

Oh the irony. :rolleyes: It's no surprise you were banned from Christian Chat for promoting heresy. Only the Lord can open your eyes to the truth. All I can do is continue to pray for you.

The scriptures do not support your heretical doctrine of 'sinless perfection.' You need to stop deliberately twisting the scriptures. 1 John 3:9 - No one who is born of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, because God’s seed [His principle of life, the essence of His...

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. (Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8-10)

It's already been explained to you numerous times, but you are more interested in accommodating your biased church doctrine than you are in properly harmonizing scripture with scripture before reaching your conclusion on doctrine.

False. In Acts 2:38, "for the remission of sins" does not refer back to both clauses, "you all repent" and "each one of you be baptized," but refers only to the first. Peter is saying "repent unto the remission of your sins," the same as in Acts 3:19. The clause "each one of you be baptized" is...

Not your biased interpretation of Acts 2:38. I have cited Acts 3:19; 10:43-47; 11:17,18; 15:8,9; 26:18 numerous times in our discussions. All you do is cite Acts 2:38 and skip the rest. There is not more than one plan of salvation in scripture. Salvation has always been through FAITH/BELIEF...

You need to properly harmonize Acts 2:38 with (Acts 3:19; 10:43-47; 11:17,18; 15:8,9; 26:18). You skip over everything else in Acts except Acts 2:38. Your bias and flawed hermeneutics is obvious for everyone to see.

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...

Amen and well said! 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. (Romans 3:24-28) Those who teach salvation by faith and works cannot seem to grasp this and there is a reason for that. To say that we are...

Amen! Noah had already "found grace" (Genesis 6:8) was "a preacher of righteousness" (2 Peter 2:5) and "walked with God" BEFORE he built the ark. His obedience was a DEMONSTRATION of his faith and not the origin of it. Building the ark demonstrated that Noah believed and received God's warning...

John 6:40 - For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.
