Is that what we read in Psalm 37:28? God said that He preserves His saints forever. How long is forever? Do you believe God?

You continue to miss the point. Go back and read post #78 slowly and carefully.

I certainly don't believe that unbelievers will go to Heaven. (John 3:18) My view on OSAS lines up with "preservation of the saints" and not salvation for unbelievers. Psalm 37:28 - For the Lord loves justice, And does not forsake His saints; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of...

I can see that everything I explained to you in post #78 just went right over your head. Let's try it again: When Jesus spoke these words in John 15, how many people at that time, prior to Him being glorified, had received the Holy Spirit and were baptized by one Spirit into one body? - "the...

How about a little context. 1 Corinthians 9:16 - For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me. 18 What then...

The Holy Spirit does teach me. (1 John 2:27) I just pointed out some comments from AT Robertson because he made a very good point. ;)

I commonly hear three different interpretations for Hebrews 6:4-6 (hypothetical view, lost salvation view, never truly saved view) but am not convinced that it "unequivocally" teaches a really "saved" person truly "lost their salvation." In regards to the never truly saved view, the words, once...

Notice that Paul said to "work out" your salvation and NOT "work for" your salvation. So "type 2 works salvation" is not being taught here. The idea is to progress to the finish or completion in spiritual growth and maturity. This process is what the Bible calls "ongoing sanctification." When we...

All the letters in the NT are written to Christians, but that does not mean everyone in the group who professes to be a Christian is a genuine Christian. The Jews were in the olive tree to begin with because they were the "natural branches" and not because they were all saved. Because of their...

In John 15, Jesus mentions branches that bear no fruit and branches that bear fruit (vs. 2) but Jesus says nothing about branches that bear fruit but then later stop bearing fruit. When Jesus spoke these words in John 15, how many people at that time, prior to Him being glorified, had received...

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

Be sure to go back and read and meditate on post #101. Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity Then let me know when you are ready to repent and believe the gospel.

Trusting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation and not in the works is not self salvation. You refuse to trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation and instead have turned to supplements, namely “water and works.”

They use Acts 2:38 to teach that you must be water baptized to be saved just as you do. 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. That is not self salvation. You need to place your faith in the Savior God...

Jesus is the Bread of Life. Just as bread nourishes our physical bodies, Jesus gives and sustains eternal life to all believers. John 6:35 - "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." As He was accustomed, Jesus used figurative...

Christ’s finished work of redemption is sufficient and complete to save believers. No supplements needed. (Romans 3:24-28; 4:5-6; 5:1; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9)

I have no problem with what Peter said in Acts 2:38. Just your misinterpretation of what Peter said that is not in harmony with (Luke 24:47; Acts 3:19; 5:31; 10:43-47; 11:17,18; 15:8,9; 16:31; 26:18).

The RCC is in agreement with you on Acts 2:38. They use it to support baptismal regeneration.

Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptized will be saved (general cases without making a qualification for the unusual case of someone who believes but is not baptized) but he who does not believe will be condemned. The omission of baptized with "does not believe" shows that Jesus does not...

I already explained Acts 2:38 to you and there is no shame in properly harmonizing scripture with scripture before reaching your conclusion on doctrine. In Acts 16:30, the question was asked, “what must I do to be saved?” and in verse 31, we see the answer - “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ...
