Yes. "until" being the key word there. I already stated that we choose to believe ONLY after we are drawn and enabled. (John 6:44,65) So we don't choose to believe and Jesus fatalistically determines who will and won't believe? o_O Did you read what Jesus said in context? Jesus NEVER knew...

Since the old covenant has been made obsolete by the new covenant, does this leave us with no moral direction? Absolutely not. God has made obsolete the old covenant to put into place the new covenant. (2 Corinthians 3:6-9; Hebrews 8:6-13) The life of discipleship flows out of the new command...

Australia's New Leftist Govt Holds Defence Meeting with Communist China

I was recently in a discussion with a Roman Catholic on a different Christian forum site who claims that the Roman Catholic church does not teach salvation by works, then afterwards, he contradicted himself by stating this below: We are saved by faith - as long as you properly define "Faith"...

That's actually the Amplified Classic translation that I cited. Bible Gateway passage: Ephesians 2:8 - Amplified Bible, Classic Edition Typically, those who teach salvation by works and NOSAS are not fans of gotquestion.org So in that article that you cited from gotquestions.org, faith is...

More eisegesis. We do not "keep" (guard, observe, watch over) the commandments in order to receive the Holy Spirit, but because we have received the Holy Spirit. 1 John 2:3 - By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. So what is the act of obedience that causes...

Oh the irony.

Does Ephesians 2:8 say faith plus something else? Plus works? NO! It's faith "apart from additions or modifications" so it's faith (rightly undrrstood) in Christ alone.

In 1 Peter 1:9, we read - "receiving the end of YOUR faith--the salvation of your souls.

Not all, but only those who have been saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8)

Your eisegesis clears up nothing. Why is it so important for you to believe that faith is a gift, but not salvation?

What problems? “A.T. Robertson was one of the greatest scholars in the seminary’s rich history, perhaps the greatest of all,” said seminary historian Gregory A. Wills, who is also dean of the school of theology. “He did more than any other to establish the seminary’s reputation for scholarship.”...

To clarify, I was referring to the law of Moses. In regards to doing God's will in order to receive salvation: 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. In regards to observing...

I absolutely believe the scriptures. I just don't believe you and who are you to judge the power of the Spirit in my life or my faith? What makes you think you are so special? Your battle is with self righteousness and 1 John 1:8 continues to remain your achilles heel - If we say that we have no...

That's exactly what Jesus meant. In context, Jesus is discussing false prophets and is contrasting a good tree that brings forth good fruit with a bad tree that brings forth bad fruit. (Matthew 7:15-23) Jesus never knew these people, never entered or made His abode with them and you still think...

In Matthew 7:23 notice that Jesus said He NEVER knew these many people. These many people in verse 22 were not true converts. Works-salvationists (especially type 2 works-salvationists) typically misinterpret the verses you cited above.

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

Doubling down on your false accusation? You are bearing false witness. Where is your integrity?

Amen! Yet sadly, there are those who wish to remain under the law and even teach "salvation by grace plus law, faith plus works."

I'm still waiting on an apology from GEN2REV for calling me a liar for saying that Michiah-Imla teaches sinless perfection.
