Salvation is not probation. Eternal life is not temporary life. Jesus is the door. He is not a revolving door. Fear and bondage to IN-security is no way to live the Christian life.

Walking according to the Spirit is descriptive of children of God. Those who are habitually dominated by the sinful nature (unbelievers) put their minds on the things of the sinful nature, but those who are habitually dominated by the Spirit (believers) put their minds on the things of the...

You previously said that we are saved by grace through faith + the sanctification process WHICH INCLUDES WORKS and again here you just admitted that you teach "Saved by Grace + Works. Hence, "type 2 works salvation." You start out with saved by grace through faith, then finish with works. It's...

"Type 2 works salvation" is not a false term and it fits your doctrine perfectly and does not leave out your belief that we are also "initially" saved by God's grace through faith, but it also "includes" works in the equation: Salvation by grace through faith AND WORKS is what you teach, which...

Properly interpreting scripture is not adding to scripture and 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. (1 John 1:8-10)

Yes, we are justified (accounted as righteous) by faith, not works (Romans 4:2-6) and justified (shown to be righteous) by works. (James 2:21,24)

In regards to Hebrews 10:26, to "sin willfully" here carries the idea of deliberate intention that is habitual, which stems from rejecting Christ deliberately. This is continuous action, a matter of practice. Now we don't walk along our daily life and "accidentally" fall into a pit called sin...

Don't have one particular author. Some things I write may be influenced by certain authors and paraphrased mixed with my explanations.

This sounds like the same argument that Roman Catholics use in order to "get around" the truth here. Saved by "these" works (good works) and just not "those" works (works of the law, circumcision). Circumcision is only one example, but not a blanket statement for works. You cannot dissect good...

It's you who fails to understand context. Notice that - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (vs. 9) is IN CONTRAST TO - If we say that we have no sin, (present tense) we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in...

"Type 2 works salvation" is a term that describes exactly what you teach. You believe we are saved by grace through faith AND WORKS. Period. You said it yourself - "saved by BOTH God's grace AND sanctification WHICH INCLUDES WORKS." So how many works does it take, how much sin must you put away...

The obsession with constantly attacking OSAS is weird. I've noticed that ALL false religions and cults that promote salvation by works strongly oppose OSAS, which has always been a major red flag for me.

It's absolutely true that you teach "type 2 works salvation" and not salvation through faith in Christ alone. It's not about justifying sin, darkness, or evil in candy land and it's also not about living in a self righteous fantasy land either. 1 John 1:8 clearly says - "If we say that we have...

Gavin Newsom joins Truth Social to call out 'Republican lies,' perceived 'red state murder problem' This should be interesting!

Amen! Saved through faith (Ephesians 2:8) "apart from additions or modifications" = saved through faith (rightly understood) in Christ alone. Not by works. (Ephesians 2:9) Works-salvationists just cannot seem to grasp this.

I only reject your misinterpretation of scripture, which results in works salvation, but I do not reject what the Bible plainly teaches after properly harmonizing scripture with scripture before reaching my conclusion on doctrine. Spoken like a true works-salvationist. So saved by grace through...

I already explained this in post #258. 1st problem with O.S.A.S.

Salvation through faith (rightly understood) IN CHRIST ALONE is Biblical. (Romans 3:24-28; 4:5-6; 5:1; Ephesians 2:8,9; Philippians 3:9 etc..).

I can clearly see that you are thoroughly indoctrinated into Roman Catholicism and are unreachable. :( All I can do is continue to pray that the Lord will one day open your eyes to the truth and the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God will shine on you. (2...

Straw man arguments and bearing false witness seems to be your trademark.
