    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    No Amigo. You know very well what book I meant! The Lamb's Supper by Dr. Scott Hahn. I read all types of books (I used to - not much anymore). They are all a blessing. No matter the denomination...the truth is the truth. Each book may have a little something that is specific to that...

    Spiritual Extortion - The threat of consequence for refusing the "Free Gift" of salvation

    Of course she was! Why would you think she wasn't?

    Why I don't believe in a pretrib rapture

    This is why the bible needs to be interpreted. The new man is this: A person becomes born from above. He received the spirit of God...he become a spiritual creature in tune with God. THIS now changes his SOUL. The soul controls the MIND of a person.... the part of the person that is the...

    Why I don't believe in a pretrib rapture

    Hi Jericho,,, Been thinking a lot about this. I believe we agree, basically, on the meaning of soul. Man is a trichotomy: BODY, SOUL, SPIRIT..... as per general Christian theology and confirmed in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 I'd say that BODY and SOUL makes a human person. SPIRIT is that element...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Thanks Rick. Revelation contains a lot of scripture that I actually use many times. There is, however, too much symbolism in some chapters and I just don't think we'll know when the end times are or what the symbolism actually means. Why? Because if we knew what it meant,,,we'd all agree on...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    It's a good analogy Bread. I didn't say it well, maybe. Let me clarify. The Holy Spirit is alive and well in the baby. I DID mention the age of accountability. AT the age of accountability, the child MUST decide for himself as to whether or not he's going to live for God OR NOT. At this...

    Only Those Who Do the Will of God Will Enter the Kingdom

    pages 2 of 2 Faith,,,ANY believer can fall away because the NT does not teach about the early rain and the later rain. The discussion was originally about how we decide to become saved again. Quite honestly,,,I've lost track of our conversation. Yes. Well, you DO wander off. But you...

    Only Those Who Do the Will of God Will Enter the Kingdom

    Hi Joe Sorry for the delay. You sure do write a lot and I wanted to take the time to go through your post. You add a lot to scripture Faith. This is a big problem with these ideas, nowadays. You said that faith is a gift from God that does not come naturally from within ourselves. You use...

    Spiritual Extortion - The threat of consequence for refusing the "Free Gift" of salvation

    Are you married SS? What does it mean to be faithful until the end? You're a smart fellow. I think you know what it means.

    Why I don't believe in a pretrib rapture

    The spirit doesn't need renewing Wick Stick. It's the spirit, of man, that renews the soul.

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Baptism is not a badge of honor... no matter when it's done. It's either a true event....receiving the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, or it is not. It cannot be both. Baptism is valid no matter at what age it's done. My brother joined a Protestant denomination and they asked that he be...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Hi Truly, Sorry this is so late. I read that you're bored with this topic. I studied up on it when reading the early theologians of the church... this goes way back to the beginning of the church.... end 1st century and onward, There are many notations of this from the 2nd century and 3rd...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Hi Bread Just saw the above - it's really old but I have a question regarding what you've stated. It's re Acts 2:38-39 38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39...

    Only Those Who Do the Will of God Will Enter the Kingdom

    Couldn't agree more. perhaps, one day, you also will agree with what Jesus taught. Luke 8:13 Jesus clearly states that BELIEVING can be temporary. Luke 8:13 13 "Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a...

    Only Those Who Do the Will of God Will Enter the Kingdom

    Excuse me. What do your verses have to do with OSAS?? THIS was the topic of discussion. If THEY WILL NEVER PERISH is how YOU understand it then Jesus contradicted Himself in John 15:1-2 You must have taken lessons from mailmandan....he also thinks taken away means lifted up. Cute. John 15...

    Only Those Who Do the Will of God Will Enter the Kingdom

    If there is only ONE truth... Why do you believe in OSAS and I do not? Apparently there is no truth Or You haven't yet determined how to know it But follow your own road instead.

    Only Those Who Do the Will of God Will Enter the Kingdom

    I'm blowing smoke? Let's see.... Here is YOU posting on John 10:28 John 10:28 28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never * perish; YOU said: "God never says sin is okay—but He also doesn’t throw away His children when they fall. Jesus said, “I give them eternal life, and they...

    Only Those Who Do the Will of God Will Enter the Kingdom

    I see. So YOU have the truth... but I do not... even though I post scripture that is plain and simple. This is an interesting concept.
