Hebrews 7:23-25 22so much the more also Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant. 23The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing, 24but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His...

Matthew 7:6 OK but I think we always need to think of those reading along that don't post. We must keep repeating the truth, regardless. I like John 13:35 myself - but to some it goes unappreciated. 35“By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”...

must leave. 'night.

I agree. Except that God is pleased with any good work I'm able to do. HE does not think it's silly. Read The Good Samaritan _ what does it teach? Was the effort of the Samaritan silly?

Where does it state BELIEVE ONCE?? It says that whoever BELIEVES, present tense, will have eternal life. The unpardonable sin is not believing in the Holy Spirit. If we abandon God and walk away from Him, we will be committing the unpardonable sin. We will returning to our own vomit, like a dog.

I'm not trying to be good enough to earn God's salvation. There's something here you're missing. We are good because we are saved. If we're not good, then possibly we're not saved. The Holy Spirit works in us to do good deeds. Do I need to post a bunch of verses AGAIN?? How many do you need...

Agreed. But evil means much more than pain - that is just one aspect of it. The other poster believes that evil means pain. Maybe he means that pain is evil...I'm not sure and can only go by what he writes. God can use our pain to refine us. He is not causing the pain, but using it. If you...

I know what you're doing Behold. I'm saying it's not enough. We should back up what we say with verses. Not YOUR version of the verse, but the ACTUAL verse. I do believe @GEN2REV and @Ferris Bueller understand the verses they post very well.

Yes. I agree. I certainly do hope newbies see the difference between your posts, which are demeaning and insulting, with no love shown, and those of the rest of us that believe what the bible states and are here to serve the God we worship.

No scripture, as usual.

No comment! Baptism is the city water supply? :eek:

Please don't post to me just to insult me. John 3:35

Well, you should post this information. How would anyone know you're writing scripture if you don't post it? Not everyone is so familiar with the bible.

Oh. I see what you mean. I learned from 2 different denominations that when we are baptized, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit. We are indwelt with the Holy Spirit at the time of justification, but at baptism we receive a "seal" from God that forever marks our soul. This is why we are...

Two comments.... First, you must surely know that kings did indeed send forth decrees sealed with their sign. At times, these decrees were abrogated, nullified or made invalide by the same King that issued the original law/decree. Second, did I say the sealing of the Holy Spirit is the same as...

This is what JESUS said about a behavior issue: notice who Jesus will not recognize... Matthew 7:21-23 21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord...

You say there is no cross risen yet. You say they have no Holy Spirit in them. And yet, persons were ALWAYS saved...even in the OT. So what does it matter if the cross was not yet and there is no risen Christ? I think there may be 3 persons on this thread that may be able to answer this. Can you?

Is a person that comes to reject God willfully rejecting His grace? Also, I'd like to see some verses that state we cannot ever forfeit our salvation... in light of all the verses that state we can, which I'll be happy to state AGAIN. And I'd like to know WHY we are EXHORTED in the NT to live...

Please explain to us what SEALED mans in the NT. It means baptized....when we are baptized, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit. Unfortunately, the Holy Spirit only stays where He is wanted. If a believer rejects God, for whatever reason, he is no longer under God's protection and has returned...

I pray the newbies take notice of all the scripture @Grailhunter posts. OTOH you and @Behold provide none. As usual. Because there is none to back up your strange doctrine. I pray newbies read the NT. I pray you learn to treat others with respect and love. John 13:35 By this shall all men...
