    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    So you turn 1 John 1:9 into "type 2 works salvation." Confess each and every sin that you commit as you commit them (keep a specific inventory) of all of your sins and if you forget a sin you are toast! You need to interpret 1 John 1:9 in contrast with 1 John 1:8 and 1 John 1:10. BTW: All of our...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    1 John 1:9 is in contrast with 1 John 1:8 -if we say that we have no sin, (present tense) we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us and with 1 John 1:10 - if we say that we have not sinned, (past tense) we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Do you understand the contrast between believers and unbelievers? Notice in Galatians 5:21 that Paul said those who practice such things (sins) will not inherit the kingdom of God. In 1 John 3:9, we read - No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Those who suffer from a severe case of anti-OSAS derangement syndrome are absolutely obsessed with trying to prove OSAS to be false.doctrine. Also, misery loves company. I have found that ALL false religions and cults that promote salvation by works (including Catholicism and Mormonism)...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I just now came to that conclusion but that is a good question.

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Not walking according to the flesh but according to the Spirit is the demonstrative evidence that we are in Christ. (Romans 8:1) Type 2 works-salvationists try to create two camps of Christians. Those who walk according to the flesh and lose their salvation and those who walk according to the...

    My position has not changed. It's impossible to reason with you. :(

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I posted multiple scripture references with actual scripture in posts #297, #300 and #374 that were addressed to you. Now you don't come straight out and specifically say we are "saved by works," but you imply it over and over again in your posts by saying that we remain in Christ, remain...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I posted scripture multiple times and not just my opinion, and I also told you multiple times that keeping His commandments is the evidence that we know Him. I agree with those verses that you continue to cite. I just don't agree with your eisegesis that culminates in salvation by works at the...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Salvation present is justification and salvation future is glorification. Salvation is not merely a gift at the front door and a reward at the back door that we keep by earning it. NOSAS typically culminates in salvation by works at the back door. In Revelation 22:12, we read - “And behold, I am...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Thank you for a more civilized response this time. In regard to Genesis 3, since you and I are not in agreement about probation you will not find the comment, you are looking for from me. In regard to the process of "being" saved, this pertains to ongoing sanctification, in which we are being...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    You don't consider slander an insult? Really? You are not being honest. I believe God will follow through with His warnings. I just don't believe His warnings include a loss of salvation for genuine Christians/children of God. (Psalm 37:28; John 6:37-40; 10:27-29; Romans 8:28-30; 2 Corinthians...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I don't consider the testing of one's faith being equivalent to probation, like a criminal is on probation, and I don't need your approval in regard to integrity and honesty. You are not my judge. For those who are in the faith it's not uncommon to have their faith tested. James 1:2 - My...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    You remind me of a childish troll who loves to hurl insults and stir up contention and also who must have the last word in any argument.

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I already thoroughly covered Romans 11 in post #389. You need to stop acting like a childish agitator and troll. It's getting old. Now in regard to Philippians 2:12, notice that Paul said to "work out" your salvation and NOT "work for" your salvation. The Greek verb rendered "work out" means "to...
