    Forgiveness can only be for Past Sinning.

    Oh, I did see that before. But I forgot who posted it. Thanks!

    Forgiveness can only be for Past Sinning.

    Let’s put this in full view of scripture: “…if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.” (Romans 11:22) “…I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” (1 Corinthians 9:27)...

    How to go to Hell by trying to be good.

    “For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.” (2 Thessalonians 3:11)

    How to go to Hell by trying to be good.

    Your error is so manifold that it boggles the mind how anyone can get so far removed from biblical truth. “Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.” (Acts...

    How to go to Hell by trying to be good.

    Really? Proceed… show us the verse I “cleverly” left out: These are unbelievers. They are already in willful sin having not received the truth to be sanctified by the blood. And these gentiles are the ones being warned in “Hebrews”: “For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the...

    How to go to Hell by trying to be good.

    Okay, let’s look at a portion of Acts 28… “And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening...

    How to go to Hell by trying to be good.

    “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:27-28) So listen to his voice here: “…go, and sin no more.” (John 8:11) If you still sin you don’t have...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Not at all. Your unconverted brother is sinning, not you. What you need to do for this unconverted brother (upon forgiving him) is: “Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a...

    "willfully sin". : Hebrews 10

    @Behold ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED is so obviously a false doctrine that you need multiple threads to explain it. Yet the simplicity of scripture shows what a lie OSAS is: “…you stand by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    “For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    The warning is to the BELIEVERS, hence “WE” “For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.” (Hebrews 10:26-27)...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    On the day that a lost man hears the gospel and repents and believes, he is sinless. Christ has taken away his sins (1 John 1:9). And if he puts off the old man with his sinful deeds (Ephesians 4:22) he will not sin (1 John 3:9). The penalty of sin is still in effect if you sin willfully...

    Can being overly critical be sinful?

    Flaws in a brother who is striving in righteousness should be handled in love and gentleness. For sure.

    Can being overly critical be sinful?

    “…rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith” (Titus 1:13) In contrast we have: “Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but...

    Forgiveness can only be for Past Sinning.

    Sinlessness is an offense unto you. You made that clear. No judgment was involved. Wickedness must be loved by my enemies.

    Forgiveness can only be for Past Sinning.

    Then these verses must be “balderdash” to you… “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin…” (1 John 3:9) “Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin” (1 Peter 4:1)...

    Forgiveness can only be for Past Sinning.

    I could. God gave us the truth to contend for it. Why are you angry with a preacher of righteousness? To convert those showing fruits of no conversion. Because: “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin…” (1 John 3:9) To share his good news of salvation to the lost. Certainly you...

    Then why don’t you explain it to me for further discussion. Brake it down for me.

    How to go to Hell by trying to be good.

    Isn’t everything you do in life “self-effort”? I don’t get this seemingly negative attitude towards “self-effort”… Yes, everyone knows this. No one disputed this. It’s how you behave AFTER conversion is where we disagree in regards to seeing salvation in the end. The New Testament is guide...
