[QUOTE="Ferris Bueller, post: 990200 I've heard lots of stories like yours, and praise God for them, but I've never heard of a Christ denier coming back to faith.

If it is, then in other words you are saying that salvation is by grace through work? Perhaps you won’t say that, right?Faith is work.
Circular Reasoning. You do love that fallacy ... An undefeated sports team cannot lose. If the lose, they weren’t undefeated to begin with.
I know you are a Trinitarian and that is why you deliberately distorted and made John 8:24 suit your religion.
If the Son was also the same God as the Father (that does not make any sense in itself), then who is our mediator before the Father, the only God?
We would indeed be in our sins if the Son was the same (g)God as the Father....
Good for Adolf! Unfortunately , the Pertinent Question is this —— Was He “ Born Again?” Nein.....
My sinning, at least in this year, has been far and few between
“Break ONE Commandment and you have broken ALL of them”
I’m sure your “ Stellar Performance” Impresses God,
You would distort when I am teaching what is on one side of the coin with what I teach about what is on the other side of the coin. So that heads is tails and tails is heads.Ahem! You left something out ! Namely, “ Lucky Repentance”
You are quite forgetful on many days......NEVER FEAR! Your old Pal, BB will be here to remind you of your False and Perverted Gospel Additions.....no need to thank me..
I spent a number of years in a very faithless wilderness, after my rebirth, living a terrible life. Year after year, I don't think anyone would have looked at me and thought I was a Christian.
The entire time . . . all of it . . . every minute of every day of every year . . . the simple little choruses I'd learned at Calvary Chapel repeated through my head . . . "I lift my hands up, Unto Thy Name! I life my hands up, Unto Thy Name! My lips shall praise Thee . . ."
Maddening!
But God had staked out His spot, and was bidding His time.
You see I need a LOT of repair!
Much love!
Faith is work.
You probably had not been born again yet during the time you say you were denying Christ in unbelief.[QUOTE="Ferris Bueller, post: 990200 I've heard lots of stories like yours, and praise God for them, but I've never heard of a Christ denier coming back to faith.

And therefore, while water doesn't save; being baptized does save;
No, that's what you say. What I'm saying is you have to continue to trust in the blood of Christ (not trust in faith, how stupid) to keep it applied to your life. It got applied to you through faith and it will continue to be applied to you through faith. That's why the Bible tells us to keep believing the word of the gospel.This is someone like justbyfaith, or ferris beuller.
These 2 are trying to keep themselves saved, by trusting in their faith as their savior.
It is the BIBLE that tells you that your past sins are covered and that you must deny sin to manifest in the flesh:
.
No, that's what you say. What I'm saying is you have to continue to trust
So let me get this straight. You say me having to believe
Then surely you think Paul was deceived too, then...Listen deceiver.
Water does not "save"
JESUS Saves.
You are pretzel logic, theologically.
Its awful, and its Cross Denying.
"well behold, im teaching the Cross when i say that Water saves".
You are deceived.,JBF, and amazingly so.
Is somebody else supposed to believe for me?SEE THAT "CONTINUE", THAT IS YOUR SELF EFFORT.
Believing in the work of Christ is not why I'm saved? How do I get saved then?pretending that what you are doing, is why you are saved, or why God keeps you.
No, I'm still believing in it, not for it. Don't you know that you aren't a member of God's household if you don't hold firmly to the hope of the gospel in faith?You are still believing for this?
You can deny sin, and not be born again.
You can den sin and be a Hindu.
YOu can deny sin and be an atheist.
Denying sin, is a self effort, and this has no ability to make you righteous.
So, you have to be made righteous, or as Jesus says, "you must be BORN AGAIN"
DENYING SIN, IS quite meaningless with respect to WHY God accepts you and keeps you.
