    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    Bible Highlighter said: #7. John 3:36 (The Greek word “apeitheō” used in John 3:36 for the English words: “believeth not” (KJB) is translated as “obey not” or “disobedient” in other English bible verses. For example: 1 Peter 3:1, and 1 Peter 3:20 translates apeitheō as “obey not” or...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    So saved by good works, yet God gets the credit? Oxymoron. Christ gets 100% credit for our salvation and 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. Obedience to the faith is not salvation by works as you...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    LoveGodsWord makes the same error that you make. You both confuse the Christian faith, the New Testament apostolic body of doctrines with personal faith in Christ that brings salvation. (Ephesians 2:8) By saying that everything in the New Testament is faith itself, it makes it much easier to...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    Faith also finishes off as belief or trust in Jesus Christ as one's Savior which means we are trusting in Him ALONE for salvation from beginning (Ephesians 2:8) to end (1 Peter 1:9). Faith that also trusts in works for salvation and NOT in Christ ALONE is a divided, invalid faith that cannot...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    In post #228 you falsely accused me of promoting Ray Comfort of Living Waters (who you said clearly teaches turning God's grace into a license to sin like I believe) (here is the post) AND YOU HAVE THE WRONG PERSON! You are so determined to indict me on promoting a license to sin that you will...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    You need to spend your valuable time seriously considering the truth which I shared with you in multiple posts. Apparently you believe that you have sinned in the past but no longer sin at all in the present. If you claim that you have no sin (present tense) 1 John 1:8 describes you...

    So it's not just me. ;) Well said! The truth hurts, but bible highlighter really needs to hear it and we may just be wasting our time beating a dead horse by continuing to chat with him, but there are others who may have ears to hear and may also benefit from these discussions.

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    More eisegesis which is no surprise. 1 John 1:6 - If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    More eisegesis and bias. Show me the specific words, "lost his salvation." According to your legalistic salvation formula, anyone who falls short of exhaustive inventory confession and/or sinless perfection is going to hell. You are not the judge of David or the judge of the universe. You really...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    You need to learn to read scripture in context and understand who the audience is here. Your eisegesis has reached the point of nauseam. I don't reject the words of Jesus. I just reject your eisegesis. You are not my judge and I really don't appreciate your slander or your legalism. I don't see...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    I believe Jesus and I've seen people abuse and misuse the words of Jesus here in John 5:14 and John 8:11 to demand sinless perfection, yet none of us meet that standard and Jesus cannot compromise his perfect, holy standard, so of course He is not going to say, "go and just sin a little bit." In...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    Notice that - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (vs. 9) is IN CONTRAST TO - If we say that we have no sin, (present tense) we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us (vs. 8) and - If we say that we have...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    In regards to the prodigal son, being made "alive again" foreshadows the "born again" experience that Jesus spoke of in John 3:3. Of course Jesus wasn't talking about being born again spiritually again and again. We are born once physically and born "again" once spiritually. People in the NOSAS...

    Actually, you have a different Mailman Dan here. I was not a member of Christian Forums in 2005 and did not join my first Christian forum (Bible Forums) until 2010-2011. My avatar name on most Christian forums is mailmandan and not Mailman Dan. Sorry to disappoint you. I know you must have been...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    Apparently, you preach sinless perfection and 1 John 1:8 is in the present tense, so those who claim to believe they live a sinless, without fault of defect, flawless, absolute perfect life 100% of the time (exactly as Jesus lived) deceive themselves and the truth is not in them and they are...

    OSAS is now teaching faith with works, and not faith alone.

    Amen! I call that "type 2 works salvation" and its absolutely NOT true.. From beginning "have been saved through faith" (Ephesians 2:8) to end "receiving the end of your faith--the salvation of your souls" (1 Peter 1:9) salvation is by grace through faith and is not by works.
