    Hyper Calvinism : The Devil's Lie

    Amen! John 3:18 - He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Acts 4:12 - Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by...

    Do Christians sin like the unbelievers?

    I never said sin was okay, yet we are still not sinless 100% of the time. (Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8-10, 2:1)

    Do Christians sin like the unbelievers?

    I've been a member of multiple Christian forum sites for a while now and running across trolls, agitators, spiritual narcissists, false teachers/pseudo Christians etc..sooner or later is all part of the experience. Sometimes it's best to just shake the dust off your shoes and move on.

    Your true colors are obvious and I'm done wasting my time with you.

    How to maintain God's Salvation

    I already quoted the exact posts and made my point clear. Arguing with agitators like you is just a waste of time.

    Do Christians sin like the unbelievers?

    Sinless perfection is strongly implied in posts #41 and #53 (and beyond) from the link below. 1st problem with O.S.A.S. He refuses to answer my direct question with a direct YES or NO answer on whether or not he teaches sinless perfection and when I accuse him of teaching sinless perfection he...

    1st problem with O.S.A.S.

    Typical deflection. ALL false religions and cults that teach salvation by works strongly oppose OSAS which is also a RED FLAG!

    1st problem with O.S.A.S.

    I see that you still can't give us a straight forward YES or NO answer to our straight forward question. Red flag!

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    From beginning "have been saved through faith" (Ephesians 2:8) to end "receiving the end of your faith--the salvation of your souls" (1 Peter 1:9) salvation is by grace through faith and is not by works. "Final salvation" is a term that is typically used by those who peddle "type 2 works salvation."

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    I often hear those who see themselves as "holier than thou" cite Hebrews 12:14 and imply this means that if we are not "holy enough" (in of ourselves, like them) "in addition" to have placed our faith in Christ for salvation, then we won't be saved. The NASB reads - Pursue peace with all men...

    1st problem with O.S.A.S.

    Yes indeed they can. 1 John 2:1 - My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

    1st problem with O.S.A.S.

    Does the cat have his tongue? Why can't Michiah-Imla give you and I a straight forward YES or NO answer to this straight forward question? I have run across half a dozen or so others over the years on various Christian forum sites who have claimed to live a sinless life 100% of the time after...

    How to maintain God's Salvation

    See my conversation with Michiah-Imla starting in post #39 from the link below. 1st problem with O.S.A.S. I have also run across half a dozen or so others over the years on various Christian forum sites who have claimed to live a sinless life 100% of the time after their alleged conversions...

    1st problem with O.S.A.S.

    To walk as Jesus walked is what we ought to do/strive to do (Jesus walked in love) yet this still does not support sinless perfection of the flesh. Are you implying the greater works in John 14:12 is sinless perfection? o_O Do you attend a church that teaches we can reach entire sanctification...

    Do Christians sin like the unbelievers?

    Very informative OP! I'm dealing with someone right now who is promoting sinless perfection on this forum. See post #41 from the link below: 1st problem with O.S.A.S.

    1st problem with O.S.A.S.

    It's one thing to say that Christ takes away our sins (and He does take away the sins of born again believers) but that does not mean that we live a sinless, without fault or defect, flawless, absolute perfect life 100% of the time (exactly as Jesus lived) from that point forward. You truly are...

    1st problem with O.S.A.S.

    CONTINUED... In regards to Hebrews 10:26, to "sin willfully" in the Greek 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...

    1st problem with O.S.A.S.

    'Descriptive' of genuine believers. Even though this shallow ground hearer in Luke 8:13 is said to have "believed," yet he is never said to have been "saved." How do we know that the shallow ground hearer was never actually "saved"? Allow me to explain. First, his heart condition is contrasted...

    1st problem with O.S.A.S.

    So you do claim to have no sin (present tense) are deceiving yourself and the truth is not in you. (1 John 1:8) This means you are suffering from a terminal case of self righteousness. Not a good position to be in! True Christians trust in Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of their...

    1st problem with O.S.A.S.

    1 John 3:8 - the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of...
