    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    I can't live in sin, I have been born of God. Whoever lives in sin has never seen or known God. Another one of Johns words you just do not understand

    Salvation is about being born again. We who are dead in tresspasses and sin have been made alive. Being conformed to the image of God is Gods work. Not ours. He who began a good work WILL COMPLETE IT. You have failed in truth.. try reading harder so you can understand. and ask God to help you

    I have been saved from the penalty of sin - Justification I am being saved from the power of sin - Sanctification I will be saved from the ability to sin. - Glorification Learn the difference..

    The bad parts of us are burned in the fire.. Salvation is a gift. Not a reward. so much for recieving a gift.. when you have to earn it. Salvation is not a down payment for you to do good works, and if you do you can keep it. It is the gift of God who gives life to people who can not earn...

    It does nto say they were blotted out it says they were NEVER OF US. So you are picking and choosing, to add to the word of God.. if it does not fit your narrative, you add things not written..

    For by grace we have been saved through faith and not of ourselves. Not of works Not by works of righteousness which we have done but by his mercy, he saved us There are no works which saved. Well there is one. The work of Christ.

    Salvation is not about fruit bearing. That does not save us or determine our salvation Its about being born again.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    I know alot of people want to insert gnosticism into johns writing. This may be true. But I think we can take that too far. John said they, who are they.. 1. They departed from us 2. They deny Christ. now if these are Gnostics. or just everyday people who came to the meetings. I do not think...

    Well God certainly did not tell you to change the meaning of words and make it appear he said somethign he did nto say Actually. That is the basis of my foundation. he is the same, The gifts and calling of God are irrevocable. But you say otherwise. It does nto say this at all. Your reading...

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    Where do you come up with this stuff? Do you make it up. Or were you taught this? So you’re saying he said they were NEVER OF US. (Not only once but twice) But he did not really mean it, we are to somehow twist what John said, and understand it really means that it was if they were never of...

    Amen the worse thing that brought to the gospel. And which sadly passed to many of her offspring, is the thought that salvation was a process. It was not a gift per se that was given to you and all you had to do was recieve it. You had to receive it through what they call “works of faith” or...

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    Yes, He is speaking to a group of people not induviduals. He spoke of them, as blind in part, and as natural branch which was cut off. He spoke of Gentiles as unnatural branch and we were grafted in and he told us not to be so proud. Because we some how made it, and Israel lost it. And he...
