Not sure I understand what you mean....but I'm pretty sure we'll agree.

Are you also disrespecting me? WHERE am I going? I post nothing but verses to you. YOU do not do the same. Paul said we work for a reward? Right. Now tell us all what you make of the following teaching by Paul: 1 Corinthians 9:24-26 24Do you not know that those who run in a race all run...

Catholics, orthodox and even Calvinists have scripture,,,,unfortunately they've added to it, and I don't mean works. There's no such group as Arminiun. Arminius was a Calvinist. What you call Arminiun is just mainline Protestantism. Do you agree? I really dislike being referred to as an...

Where does James state what you THINK he stated? And your first paragraph is pretty dumb.

Too much talk. No substance. Your opinion is irrelevant..... Since YOU are one of those persons you mention above that is trying to convince me of what You believe. I'll take the word of God instead.

Nice to see you again Behold. The above sounds very nice. Could you post some scripture please? Maybe in the meantime you could explain the following: Colossians 1:21-23 21And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, 22yet He has now reconciled you...

Show me some verses that state what you believe. Otherwise, it's just your opinion. BTW, Jesus wanted us to be united as He and the Father are united. John 17:21 Paul tells us that we are to be of one mind. Philippians 2:2-4 So why do you think there's this great divide that shouldn't...

The term FAITH ALONE is found in the bible. Here it is: James 2:24 24You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. Please read it. It states that man is NOT justified by faith alone. Faith by God's grace saves us. But FAITH ALONE will not keep us saved. It requires action...

How about KEEPING salvation by a code of works..... Could we define what a work is? Here's my definition: AFTER SALVATION since no amount of works will save anyone.... A work is anything we do to further the Kingdom of God here on earth. It could be the most miniscule act to something of...

I don't know what you're talking about MD. The talk about trees bearing fruit means this: Matthew 7:13-23 13“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14“For the gate is small and the way is...

But it doesn't say this MD. Matthew 7:22 does not speak of saved or unsaved,,, it does not even speak of works...and it does Not speak of IN CHRIST ALONE. It only states that they practiced lawlessness. Jesus did not KNOW THEM because they practiced lawlessness. It is only those who do the...

Do you mean licentiousness? wanton disregard or transgression of laws, rules, or moral norms: How do you define legalism?

I have to go for a while.... but it's like this: A SLAVE WORKS BECAUSE HE HAS TO. A FRIEND WORKS BECAUSE HE WANTS TO. We're the second. I worry a lot about cheap grace and easy believism which is incorrrect doctrine. Maybe we should move ahead in the discussion?

The Calvinist term is Perseverance of the Saints. I also dislike OSAS and prefer eternal security. Later.

@mailmandan I saw 2 or 3 posts of yours to which I received no alert. Will try to get to them later.... The not being Christian is a general conclusion I've come to.... If a person believes God requires nothing from him and he could continue in his old life, then I doubt he should be called a...

Interesting....I'm just seeing this. No alert.... Have you been reading my posts to EG? Are you and I having the same misunderstanding? Are we really discussing OSAS here? IOW, are you saying that you don't believe works KEEP US SAVED... Dinner time.

OK I'm not here to preach or to teach. I'm here to discuss .... that's all. I know that speaking in caps these days means one is shouting. I'm a professional typist and using caps is for EMPHASIS. That's why I use it. Guess I'm old-fashioned... I've never heard this. The OT and the NT state...

Agreed. Well, what is the point?? Yes. We are saved by grace through faith and that not of ourselves. ONCE WE ARE SAVED,,,we are REQUIRED to do good works. This I've shown using scripture. Do you not agree that we're made in Christ Jesus for good works as in Ephessians 2:10? We will do...

James 1:2 2Consider it all joy, my brethren James 1:2- 3 when you encounter various trials, 3knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. James 1:16-17 16Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. 17Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, James 1:19-22...

Agreed. I thought you mentioned Ephesians 2:8-9 which I agree with and I asked you to proceed to verse 10. Do you agree with verse 10? You seem to based on what you're posting now. Agreed. We're speaking of Ephesians 2:10 here. I KNOW those persons are SAVED. I also see that it states that...
