Are you saying that Christians have to be perfect to go to heaven? LOL
Tell ya what, I will play your game. You give me the scriptures that say you can lose your salvation and I will give you the ones that say you cannot.
You can go to Hebrews but then you have to explain a lot of what is going on in Hebrews and I will hold you to that.
Are you saying that Christians have to be perfect to go to heaven? LOL
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5)
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection (Heb 6)
The accusation of 'having to be perfect' to go to heaven is both false and foolishly made.
If not continuing in the sins of the devil and continuing in the grace and faith of God to do His righteousness and good will, is 'perfection to be mocked at' by you, then plainly you are not saved. Believing we are saved is not the same as believing and obeying God and knowing we have eternal life. (1 John 5:13)
You give me the scriptures that say you can lose your salvation
The first problem is you think God's salvation is your salvation. Which is why you think salvation includes the sins of the devil.
We don't lose by works what we have not won by works. But we do lose what we had by faith, when we leave the faith and return to life of sins of the devil, which you are plainly in.
Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. (1 Tim 5)
Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. (Rev 2)
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. (2 Peter 2)
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins...Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? (Heb 10)
Continuing in the grace and the faith of God by leaving behind dead works repented of, and going on to the perfection of the spirit in putting off also: anger, wrath, malice, enying, etc...are the necessary things that accompany with salvation of God by grace, and it is by grace that we may begin to do and to continue to do.
Calling upon a grace to save by a salvation isolated from the first things thereof, is naming a salvation by grace through a faith that is alone an dead (James 2): dead works of a dead faith of a dead salvation that mocks and laughs at an despises the Spirit of grace, but which we go on to perfection.
Unless:
1. None can cast off their first faith
2. None can fall from the first works
3. Without repenting, our candlestick will not be removed out of our place in Christ.
4. The latter end worse than the beginning, of them that from God, is not a worse judgment than unbelievers.
5. Sinning wilfully after being sanctified by the blood of Jesus is not as sore punishment as unbelievers, who never were washed in His blood.
and I will give you the ones that say you cannot.
Plain SAcriptures showing having had faith and been sanctified in the blood of Jesus, with sorer punishment and end worse than before ever beginning.
Now show Scriptures stating plainly that them of the faith
cannot possibly turn away from the faith, to being worse than before ever believed.
