OK I agree with your title to the OP Limited atonement means salvation by grace. Amen. Universal atonement means salvation by works. Amen. I agree with both of these statements. It takes spiritual insight to see that both of these are part of what makes the truth.

LOL...if the shoe fits...

There is no such thing as a dispensation of grace. The word for dispensation in the bible is made up of 2 words....(from oikonomia) oikos...which means household....and nomos...which means law. Paul is the steward of God's grace to preach the gospel to the nations. So then the dispensation...

You have a real problem. You want to blame a god you say doesn't exist. So then your problem is in your own mind.

You ignored my post to continue with your enslavement to a doctrinal stance. Are you here to display a doctrinal stance? Or do you discuss the validity of the biblical texts along with their meaning? I know you have shifted doctrines before, as you have previously stated....but you are not...

This means...not that we would be unclothed of personal righteousness...but rather further clothed with the righteousness of God. The white raiment we are to desire is the righteousness of saints. If we are unclothed then we are naked and shamed...having soiled our garments through sin.

The funny thing here is that your title is right. There is personal grace...what you call limited atonement. This is a gift of God and comes with a calling to holinessAnd there is universal grace, or what you call universal atonement, that depend on works...towards the brethren. This is the...

What about bullying at school...or genocide, you haven't mentioned those yet. People are cruel because they lack a relationship with God, who is love. We were created to love Him and one another. But people have chosen to go their own way. Is it any surprise that men should be reduced to such...

I don't know...:p

It's unfortunate that some people look for clarity not for brotherly purposes or for any kind of honest goal...but to attack and insult....such is the pride that motivates this kind of conduct. I think that this statement by @marks says it all...This is all a big competition to see who can look...

Seems safe enough...no arguing yet. :) No mention of gaining or losing salvation either.... Hmmm...:D

Luke 17:10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

You are contradicting yourself. You are saying that your belief justifies you. So you are justifying yourself because you are holding a belief about Jesus. God is not involved in this. You are shutting Him out of the equation. God is looking for relationship...real contact...not religious...

What do you mean by Jesus pulling out or enough good works? That has nothing to do with what I'm writing about.

Zion is in the Spirit. The throne room is in the 3rd heaven. I have been there only once for maybe 20 seconds or so.

Yes. He is our sample of God's life as a deposit. Through His abiding we have a living hope. Of course His power is not made manifest in our lives until we also abide in Him. Christ is not a minister of sin. As we abide in Him His life is pulled through us so that rivers of living water flow...

That's right we are born of the Spirit through regeneration...or new birth. Christ is then abiding in us.

I walked in Zion in the Spirit near 40 years ago now for the first time. :) I was baptized in the Spirit at the same time as being born anew by the Spirit. So then my experience was both Christ in me AND me in Christ. That is unusual. Many people only learn to enter Christ after some time...and...

What faith is to holiness works are to righteousness.

Well people still believe in vain...like believing that Jesus died for you is good....but that isn't what saves you.
