    Is the Gift of Salvation nullified by the consequences of refusal?

    Abraham was BEFORE the law of Moses, so your argument does not hold water. Plus, in Romans 4:3, Paul simply said Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. No works included, so ALL works apply. Abraham believed God "apart from additions or modification" no works...

    Is the Gift of Salvation nullified by the consequences of refusal?

    Straw man argument. When Abraham performed the good work in Genesis 22; he fulfilled the expectations created by the pronouncement of his faith in Genesis 15:6. In James 2:23, the scripture was fulfilled in vindicating or demonstrating that Abraham believed God and was accounted as righteous. My...

    Is the Gift of Salvation nullified by the consequences of refusal?

    Romans 1:16 - For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes, (believes plus what? Simply believes) for the Jew first and also for the Greek. What happened to multiple acts of obedience/obeying multiple commandments/works...

    Is the Gift of Salvation nullified by the consequences of refusal?

    To the contrary. Romans 4:6 - just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works. Your argument is with God, not me. Paul simply said, "apart from works" in Romans 4:6 and not works of the law of Moses and regardless, when it comes to the...

    US supreme court strikes blow against LGBTQ+ rights with Colorado ruling

    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/07/aoc-says-conservative-supreme-court-justices-need-check/ AOC said the conservative Supreme Court Justices need a “check on their power” or we will start seeing a “dangerous authoritarian expansion of power.” We are already seeing a dangerous...

    Is the Gift of Salvation nullified by the consequences of refusal?

    That salvation is by grace through faith and is not by works (Ephesians 2:8,9) is not hard to understand. It's just hard for works-salvationists to ACCEPT. It's a shame that human pride will not allow works-salvationists to trust in Jesus Christ as the ALL-SUFFICIENT means of their salvation...

    Is the Gift of Salvation nullified by the consequences of refusal?

    Dan is teaching salvation by the obedient act of choosing to believe the gospel (Romans 1:16; 10:16) and multiple acts of obedience/works which follow are the fruit of salvation, but not the root of it. God imputes righteousness apart from works. (Romans 4:6) Yet Titus says otherwise. Choosing...

    Is the Gift of Salvation nullified by the consequences of refusal?

    Believing only which does not result in producing obedient works at all is not saving belief in Christ and is no different than the belief of devils. (James 2:19) Works of obedience/good works are the fruit, by product and demonstrative evidence of authentic belief/faith. All genuine believers...

    Amen! Excellent post and video. :woohoo!:

    What is "OSAS"?

    You showed me no such thing. Only your eisegesis. Romans 4:11 - And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might...

    What is "OSAS"?

    Those who are born of God are characterized by obedience and not disobedience. Ephesians 2:2 - And you He made alive, who were (past tense) dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked (past tense) according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air...

    What is "OSAS"?

    I don't teach salvation by "faith only" (James 2:24) which is an empty profession of faith/dead faith that remains barren of works. (James 2:14) Not to be confused with "salvation through faith (rightly understood) in Christ alone (Romans 4:5-6) which results in producing works. (Ephesians 2:10)...

    Are christians justified by faith only?

    "Faith only" per James is an empty profession of faith/dead faith that produces no works (James 2:14) which is not to be confused with faith that "trusts in Christ alone for salvation" and not in works. (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9)

    Once Blood Bought and Justified, Always Blood Bought and Justified? ... You Betcha!

    That is their supplement, which nullifies faith.

    Once Blood Bought and Justified, Always Blood Bought and Justified? ... You Betcha!

    Christ's finished work of redemption is sufficient and complete to save believers. (Romans 3:24-28) No supplements needed.

    What is "OSAS"?

    Jesus was speaking to His 12 disciples in general, yet Judas was the exception, just like he was the exception in John 6:70, Jesus said - “Did I Myself not choose you, the twelve, AND YET ONE OF YOU IS A DEVIL?" Also in John 13:10-11, Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed needs only to wash his...

    What is "OSAS"?

    As I already thoroughly explained, in regard to partakers of the Holy Spirit, the word translated “partaker” can certainly refer to a saving partaking in Christ, as we read in Hebrews 3:14, yet it can also refer to a less than saving association or participation. See Luke 5:7 and Hebrews 1:9 -...

    What is "OSAS"?

    Salvation is conditional on faith and committing acts of vile sin/living like the devil is not descriptive of those who are born of God, (1 John 3:7-10) so your Baptist preachers' extreme exception (straw man argument) does not represent those in the OSAS camp in general. So how much...
