    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    It's called EISEGESIS - the interpretation of a text (as of the Bible) by reading into it one's own ideas. Works-salvationists (especially Roman Catholics) typically confuse the 3 tenses of salvation and the end result is salvation by works at the back door. The 3 tenses of salvation are: 1...

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    "Abide in Him" and "keep His commands" typically gets turned into salvation by works at the back door by works-salvationists through their eisegesis. The Greek word for "abide" is "meno" and simply means to remain, not to depart, to continue to be present...

    Paul's Gospel According to Jesus Christ

    Just the opposite and since you believe that ALL belief is the same "except for the lack of good works" and you cannot seem to grasp a deeper, more substantive aspect of faith which is believing/trusting exclusively in Jesus Christ for salvation, you instead, place your faith in water baptism +...

    Paul's Gospel According to Jesus Christ

    In the church of Christ, the 4-step plan of salvation goes like this: 1. Believe 2. Repent 3. Confess 4. Be baptized. Then after all 4 steps are accomplished in that order and ONLY after they are all accomplished, you are saved according to the church of Christ. How do you define "believe the...

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant, Part #1

    Either we are trusting 100% in Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of our salvation or else we are 100% lost. That is the narrow way. (John 3:15,16,18; 10:9; 14:6)

    New House speaker elected is an outspoken Christian named Mike Johnson

    The elitists at the top love socialism because they get the gold mine, and we get the shaft!

    New House speaker elected is an outspoken Christian named Mike Johnson

    Excellent eye-opening sermon on the dangers of socialism with Venezuela mentioned as an example. The same tactics used to take down Venezuela are now being used to take down the U.S. Wake up America!

    Losing Your Salvation - Bible Verses

    Notice that Paul said to "work out" your salvation and not "work for" your salvation in Philippians 2:12. When we "work out" at the gym, we exercise to develop our body that we already have and not in order to get a body. Farmers "work" the land, not in order to get the land, but to develop the...

    Paul's Gospel According to Jesus Christ

    Repent and believe the gospel precede water baptism. (Acts 10:43-47; 11:17,18; 15:7-9) You reverse the scriptural order of repent and believe/believe the gospel/place faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. (Matthew 21:32; Mark 1:15; 20:21) In regard to Acts 19:1-5, in verse 2, their answer to...

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant, Part #1

    Roman Catholics seem to teach that we are saved by grace through faith "infused" with works and then those works become meritorious towards receiving eternal life. That certainly is a "different" gospel.

    Paul's Gospel According to Jesus Christ

    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. (Romans 3:24-28; 4:5-6; Philippians 3:9)

    Losing Your Salvation - Bible Verses

    Psalm 51:5 - Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. Romans 5:12 - Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned. Ephesians 2:5 - even when we were dead in...

    Paul's Gospel According to Jesus Christ

    The gospel is the "good news" of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16) To "believe" the gospel is to trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the AL-sufficient means of...

    Paul's Gospel According to Jesus Christ

    Those who believe the gospel have already repented in the process of changing their mind and choosing to believe the gospel. When faith/believing the gospel is mentioned, repentance is implied or assumed. (Acts 11:17,18; 15:7-9; 20:21) Confessing with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing...

    Why do some people not like the idea of OSAS?

    In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all thing's charity.

    ‘Saved by grace’ is probably the biggest Christian nonsense

    All have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23) Until we get to the end of the creature we will not get to the beginning of the Creator.
