    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    You are the master of irony. Extra-biblical source? That source quotes Scripture and iron sharpens iron. I've already read the entire KJV multiple times, along with other translations as well.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    I believe the Holy Scriptures. I just don't believe your misinterpretation of Scripture. 1 Peter 4:1 - Therefore, since Christ suffered in the flesh [and died for us], arm yourselves [like warriors] with the same purpose [being willing to suffer for doing what is right and pleasing God]...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    1 Peter 4:1 - Therefore, since Christ suffered in the flesh [and died for us], arm yourselves [like warriors] with the same purpose [being willing to suffer for doing what is right and pleasing God], because whoever has suffered in the flesh [being like-minded with Christ] is done with...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Jesus did not lie to them and like I already said, Jesus cannot compromise His perfect, holy standard. It blows my mind that you actually believe you are sinless 100% of the time in word, thought and deed, exactly like Jesus.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    There is a difference between what is our goal and what the reality of our existence tells us. I often hear people who promote "sinless perfection" quote John 8:11, in which Jesus told the woman caught in adultery to "go and sin no more." Jesus was telling the woman to go and leave her life of...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Well said! Prior to my conversion, while still attending the Roman Catholic church several years ago, I basically saw God as a tyrant who couldn't wait to punish me every time I messed up and I had absolutely no assurance of salvation whatsoever. That is an unhealthy fear! Works-salvationists...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    No contradiction. 1 John 3:9 does not teach your 'surface read' biased interpretation of 'sinless perfection' from your pet English translation - KJV. The NASB reads - No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. The...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Good post! We are saved from the PENALTY of sin when we are justified and also 'set apart/made holy' as a child of God positionally in Christ. Through progressive sanctification we are being saved from the POWER of sin and our final sanctification (glorification) we will be saved from the...

    What are you talking about? A sheep is not a dog or a pig and dog's and pig's are not sheep.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Ephesians 1:13 - In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Yes, to "sin willfully" in the Greek carries the idea of deliberate intention that is habitual, which stems from rejecting Christ deliberately. This is continuous action, a matter of practice. Yes it is! Those who are truly born of God have received a new nature, a divine nature. They have...

    Amen! It's not about flawless or lawless as sinless perfectionists seem to believe.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Typical straw man argument. You relentlessly attack the truth. Sinless perfectionists suffer from a terminal case of self righteousness. (1 John 1:8-10)

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    I see that you remain bitter and disgruntled over being banned from Christian Chat and you blame the OSAS crowd for it and you also seem determined to relentlessly attack and slander OSAS believers (along with promoting yourself as sinless 100% of the time) which is in contradiction to...

    More about : Cults

    People in cults unanimously pervert the gospel by teaching works salvation and instead of truly promoting Christ, cultists exploit Christ in order to promote themselves and their false religion.

    Is Jesus the End of the Law?

    All three of these verses above that you continue to misinterpret have already been thoroughly explained to you numerous times, but as usual, the truth just continues to go right over your head. :( In 1 Peter 3:21, Peter tells us that baptism now saves you, yet when Peter uses this phrase he...

    IS IT A SIN FOR A CHRISTIAN TO VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT, OR IS IT JUST WRONG??

    I strongly suspected that communists were behind the root of the movement to transform the United States into a Godless, borderless, marxist, socialist, disarmed, Sodom and Gomorrah America under Satan.

    Is Jesus the End of the Law?

    LOL! You basically ignored my post and couldn't resist the opportunity to mention your pet verse Acts 2:38. So typical.
