    Getting Grace Right

    "justbyfaith, post: 440397, member: 7886"]People who don't enter in through faith in Jesus and his shed blood...Muslims, Buddhists, etc. are not saved/born again/redeemed. What do you mean by saved? Saved as in becoming a Republican? Do you agree or disagree with that statement? Your...

    Can you get over it...and delete it? I am thinking seriously of avoiding you as you are too puffed up in your own estimation for me.

    Getting Grace Right

    What are you talking about? Who said that Jesus was not the way of salvation? YOU are saying that....not me. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. But you believe only people that think like you do. So then you are filtering salvation through your own mind. You are taking salvation out of...

    Find any loophole and jump in by the flesh??? Are you a lawyer? And what is it with that very loud tagline at the bottom? Do you think many words makes a better point?

    Getting Grace Right

    So much confusion...because there is such a lack of understanding over the differences between things. when you lump things together you get a tangle. Who is going to untangle the gospel for people.....that are indoctrinated into error? We, as Christians have a calling that is NOT for...

    Getting Grace Right

    Speaking of false....you are making things up that I never said... Ironically you are doing to my posts what you also do to the bible..... make a ton of false assumptions and treat them as facts. You have an idee fixe...a one track mind. I am speaking of a host of things...that you jumble...

    Eternal Security?

    ....is a man-made slogan...possibly made up by a converted used car salesman. It is from a very human perspective as it seeks guarantees. But why can't God be trusted to do what is right? Do we rely on a guarantee that's proof against God's judgments? In the world we look for guarantees...

    Getting Grace Right

    I wish you understood. OK...I'll try... There is another dimension in the Spirit that co-exists with what our sense can determine ...here and now...in a realm called the kingdom of God. THAT realm is eternal....or everlasting. We only enter into eternal things by walking in the Spirit...

    Another strawman is that...loving others and not judging them... is universalism. That's like saying anybody who is not a Republican is a commie or gay. IOW....very partisan...and carnal. God so loved the world...not hated the world as so many "believers". Who is going to be a witness of God's...

    Getting Grace Right

    You must make a distinction between what happens one day....and what is eternal. You are not differentiating these. The strawman is that YOU can decide what eternal is.

    Getting Grace Right

    The bible stresses warnings to keep the works up till the end. This is life a war and a test...but many as you do see it as more of a retirement time. But God will judge. Are we on a war footing....or are we at ease? We have access to eternal life....but that is a KIND of life found in Jesus...

    Getting Grace Right

    Don't get me started on eternal security. That is a strawman.... The only eternal security we have is the eternal we walk in when we abide in Christ. it is the miraculous life we can walk in that shows us that eternal life is real for us.

    " Surrender.."

    I trust in God's love and His calling. I don't need a position...as i see HIS position is love. But you raise up a good point. And the words condition and position do go along nicely together. My formula of "calling" ( by faith) and "faithfulness" to that calling...doesn't sound as good...

    Regarding the Holy Spirit and His gifts I believe...

    That sounds like someone I know...I mean how many impossible to talk to people are there...oops...never mind. :oops:

    Eternal Security

    Jesus created us....and the world. Heb. 3;3 For this man (Christ Jesus) was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath built the house hath more honour than the house. 4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. So then who created...

    " Surrender.."

    Agreed. We need to come at it from the other side...not believing in something until we are convinced by the Lord. Even then....there is much more to be learned. Learning to ask the right questions and Who to ask them to. So then we are to seek for that encounter and be shown what is the...

    Eternal Security

    Then you don't understand the Body either. We are members one of another. WE are of the same essence. We are all human. From the human family of beings. The Father and the Son are divine. From the family of God beings...Elohim...plural.

    Getting Grace Right

    We are to seek God's face AFTER we have been regenerated by the Spirit. That's WHY we are quickened in the first place. But most people go half-baked into the world thinking they are saved for all eternity. It's like the 10 lepers who were healed...yet only one returned to Jesus. Jesus...

    Getting Grace Right

    Sins that are past...not perpetual forgiveness. Gal. 2:17 "But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? May it never be! The problem with your multiple definitions is that you can glide in and out of the...

    Eternal Security

    Again you are not getting the Old man being dead. If he isn't dead we cannot be joined to Christ. A woman cannot have 2 husbands. Neither can we have 2 natures. If we divorce ourselves from Christ to take on the old nature again....we cannot come back to Christ...unless He offer Himself up again.
