    What does it mean to be born again?

    I was thinking train wreck, but circus is also a good description.

    Renewable Salvation

    I often hear works-salvationists misinterpret Romans 10:9,10 in such a way that means we can believe unto righteousness today, but are still lost until we confess Christ, which may be next week and then we are finally saved next week, but that is not what Paul is talking about here. Also...

    Renewable Salvation

    James is not using the word "justified" here to mean "accounted as righteous" but is shown to be righteous. James is discussing the evidence of faith (says-claims to have faith but has no works/I will show you my faith by my works - James 2:14-18) and not the initial act of being accounted as...

    Renewable Salvation

    In Philippians 2:12, we are to "work out" our salvation and not work "for" our salvation. Works salvation is not being taught here in contradiction with Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9. The idea is to progress to the finish or completion in spiritual growth and maturity in the process of ongoing...

    How long does Salvation last ....and why.

    Salvation is not probation. Eternal life is not temporary life. Jesus is the door. He is not a revolving door.

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    After everything I explained you still just don't get it. "You don't hold to your religions teaching only when it fits your biases" is the epitome of irony. The apostles believed that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God and were saved (Matthew 16:16; John 20:31) and through progressive...

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    Of course repentance is required for salvation. If we don't repent (change our mind) then we will not believe the gospel. For someone to say that they truly believe the gospel, but they never repented is an OXYMORON. For someone to say that they truly repented, but they don't believe the gospel...

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    There is a difference between having a temporary, hardened heart toward believing the eye witness testimony of those who had seen Jesus after He had risen (Mark 16:14) and having a hardened heart that causes you to depart from the living God in the time of testing, during the rebellion, as we...

    Renewable Salvation

    1 Corinthians 15:1,2 - Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain. To believe in vain is to believe without...

    Renewable Salvation

    Amen! James is not using the word "justified" in James 2:24 to mean "accounted as righteous" but is shown to be righteous. James is discussing the evidence of faith (says-claims to have faith but has no works/I will show you my faith by my works - James 2:14-18) and not the initial act of being...

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    Ephesians 4:18 - being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; 19 and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with...

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    They did not believe at first and this saying was hid from them. (Luke 18:31-34) Peter did not believe it at first and even rebuked the Lord for saying He would be killed, and be raised the third day. (Matthew 16:21-22) Prior to the cross, Peter did however believe that Jesus was the Christ, the...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Folks need to understand that James is discussing the evidence of faith (says-claims to have faith but has no works/I will show you my faith by my works - James 2:14-18) and not the initial act of being accounted as righteous with God. (Romans 4:2-3) Man is saved through faith and not by works...

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    Show me the specific words, "lost faith," or "stopped believing that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God." I don't believe that you even understand what true saving faith is. Mere mental assent belief in Jesus joined with trust and reliance in water and works for salvation is not...

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    I already proved my argument using scripture and did not simply give my opinion. May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God, repent of this...
