That's more typical of works-salvationists in the NOSAS camp.

Legalists are the real hypocrites. Especially those in the sinless perfection camp. (1 John 1:8-10)

More troll behavior. Typical agitator. Don't expect believers in the OSAS camp to take you seriously. As if you care anyway.

Oh the IRONY.

Eisegesis - an interpretation, especially of Scripture, that expresses the interpreter's own ideas, bias, or the like, rather than the meaning of the text.

In Acts 2:38, "for the remission of sins" does not refer back to both clauses, "you all repent" and "each one of you be baptized," but refers only to the first. Peter is saying "repent unto the remission of your sins," the same as in Acts 3:19. The clause "each one of you be baptized" is...

Oh how you love straw man arguments. As long as they culminate in slandering folks in the OSAS camp. The Amplified version may help you to understand better. 1 John 3:9 - No one who is born of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, because God’s seed [His principle of...

False. This errant teaching sounds like the result of indoctrination from the church of Christ. In Matthew 3:11, we read - I baptize you with water "for" repentance. Was this baptism for "in order to obtain" repentance? OR was this baptism for "in regard to/on the basis of" repentance? Getting...

So, you reject illumination and believe that you understand God's word simply through human intelligence? (1 Corinthians 2:11-14) I did not say "opened her heart" meant regeneration but it does mean opened her heart for understanding. Faith does come through hearing the word of God, yet without...

That is false. There is only one baptism that places us into the body of Christ and that is Spirit baptism, not water baptism. Ephesians 4:5 - one Lord, one faith, one baptism. 1 Corinthians 12:13 - For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or...

There is more to coming to saving faith in Christ than merely paper, ink and human intelligence. The Holy Spirit works in conjunction with the Gospel, or the Word. There is an accompanying work of the Holy Spirit. They represent evangelical Christianity as teaching the work of the Spirit...

Although it is our responsibility to choose to believe in Christ for salvation and we will be held accountable for unbelief, (John 3:18) saving belief in Christ is never exclusively a matter of human decision. Unless the Father draws us (John 6:44) and enables us (John 6:65), we would NEVER come...

If it was all about self effort then none of us would come to believe in the first place (John 6:44, 65) or continue to believe.

Absolutely faith in Jesus Christ. He is the ONLY way. (John 10:9; 14;6; Acts 4:12) Praise God!

I do embrace it all. Let's make sure that our faith is firmly rooted and established so that we can persevere by the power of God. (1 Peter 1:5)

I prefer the term, "preservation of the saints." (Psalm 37:28; Jude 1:1)

Romans 8:8 - then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, IF indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now IF anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And IF Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the...

Amen! Since it's common to find genuine Christians and "nominal" Christians mixed together all claiming to be genuine Christians that is a critical IF which brings confirmation for genuine Christians and a warning for "nominal" (or pseudo) Christians. :Thumbsup:

I remember reading an article in "The Ex-Catholic Journal" years ago that said, "some of the writings attributed to the Church Fathers have been found to be forgeries, while others have been taken out of context." Doctrines such as the Immaculate Conception, the Assumption, the perpetual...
