Hmmm! Brother, that is not the meaning of grace.
And of course you dont provide your definition of Grace.
So, Let me provide the standard definition for you, so that you can have one for next time
Grace is "God's unmerited favor".
Try that one and if you need a few more, i can supply them for you.
I don't believe "every sin is willfull."
Every sin is not willful., but most are, as i stated.
See, most of the time, (for example) when a Christian chooses to watch say.....>Netflix........they are going to see something that is sexual, sensual, or God offending.....and they chose to watch it...........willfully.
So, if we put that spotlight on YOU< then we can find something that you are doing, willfully, that everyone here would say is a "sin".
However, My main issue with you, is not just that your theology is the typical that is found in an "Assembly of God" handbook.
My main issue with you, is that you told this forum that "God always answers your prayers, every single one of them".
So, i asked you to pray that God would send Jesus TODAY..........and you became SILENT.........a few times.
And you'll do it again, because you are FAKING something that you enjoy faking because you are carnal that way
@1stCenturyLady .
You like to try to be perceived as being "spiritual", as that is your ministry.
And Sure a lot of your "salvation theology" is rotten Pentecostal - Charismatic nonsense, but when you tell the forum that God always answers your prayers and then i gave you one to Pray, and you ....ran away....3 or 4 times......after i asked you.
Then i realized that you are just one of those who plays religious games.
What I tire of are people that cannot discern what is self righteousness and righteousness.
Self righteousness is "trying to make your SELF right with God"" by moses law, commandment keeping, water baptism, confessing sin, and any other self effort.
God's righteousness, is "Christ's Righteousness" given to a BELIEVER, as "imputed righteousness".
See Romans 4 for the update on "imputed righteousness".
Or just read this..
":Our FAITH is counted by God as (Christ's) Righteousness" imputed to us.
1st sentence: You would have to be illiterate to believe we can't lose our salvation as the Bible makes it clear.
You can only lose your salvation if Jesus's Sacrifice can't keep you saved.
And that's what heretics teach. They teach that God's Son's Blood and Death is not able to keep you saved, and that is a Cross Rejecting Lie that only the worst type of self righteous heretics teach.
I prefer Pentecostal churches to visit most, because they believe the entire Word of God
I told you that you were a pentecostal - charismatic.
And i didnt need a crystal ball to know it.
I can see you.......i can see what has shaped your phony religious ACT.
Thats a fact, and that is why i told you 6 yrs ago, that you are a person who was long ago deceived by this "charismatic nonsense".
And 6 yrs later, you are no different, and if you live 6 more years, you'll stay the same, as you have a stronghold in your mind that they created to be there long ago, and the root is HUGE by this time in your life.
And Thats a fact that your "teaching" will prove over and over.
4th paraphrah: I don't lie, period.
You lied a few times when you told this Forum that "God always answers my prayers".
And you'll lie about this again.
It what you do, becausse its who you are
@1stCenturyLady .
the New Covenant is much greater than the Old Covenant.
Actually the New Covenant has REPLACED the OLD ONE, because "God found Fault with it".
Read Heb 8 sometime and find out about that...
I don't agree this is just to unsaved Jews.
28 “Therefore let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it!”
I didnt say that Acts 28:28 is "Just for Jews."
I said that this verse is the same as you find as Hebrews 10........where an apostle is trying to get Jews (Hebrews) to receive their Messiah, and they WILLFULLY wont do it.
It is more than "provided forgiveness." The blood of Jesus took away all desire to sin willfully and lawlessly.
Becoming a Christian, does not take away "desire for sin".
What takes away carnal desire, as Paul teaches.... is to have right faith.........as when you do, then "sin consciousness" fades, and that means the deires to commit carnality , fades.
Its also a fact that we can receive complete deliverence over some long stanging carnal desires.
Do you also believe as other OSASers that all your past, present and future sins have already been forgiven?
I pay no attention to OSAS arguments, as these arguments are only started by people who dont understand God's Grace or Jesus's Blood atonement.
What i teach, is Paul's Theology., and Paul teaches that we are "in Christ", "one with God",, "seated in heavenly places"........so that means we have no SIN, or we could not be there or remain there.
So, we see that Jesus's Sacrifice is "ETERNAL"........."the one time ETERNAL Sacrifice FOR SIN">...
That solves it, for ""ETERNITY", as God's forgiveness is Eternal forgiveness or it would fail us.,and God never fails.
I sought the baptism for about 6 years before I finally received it on 2/9/77. I'll never forget that date. My life changed forever.
You sought the "infilling" or what you call the "baptism" that the Methodists and the Nazerenes, call a "2nd work of grace" because some heretic told you that you should be trying to get it.
Other "chronic seekers" like you chase "speaking in tongues" for years, and years.
A.) Wasting your time, in both cases.
See, They lied to you, and now you pass along this same lie to any bible noob who will believe your Pentecostal Sales pitch, because they dont have any bible knowledge or spirituality that would instantly tell them...>"avoid this one"..
It is because our beliefs are radically different that you believe all sin is willful
Ive never posted that "all sin is willful".
So, maybe you should repent of that lie, also.
and I don't, and you believe in OSAS and I don't.
I dont even think about OSAS, unless someone like you says something to me about it.
And you dont even understand it, correctly.
But you can open your NT and find that Paul was accused of OSAS, by religious Jews, who are just like you.
They dont understand "the Gift of Salvation" that is the BLood Atonement, that is Eternal life.
You should find out what Paul said should happen to heretics who accuse Christians of this "osas" Lie, who are not teaching anything except "The Gospel of the Grace of God".
Question. Do you believe a born again Christian is able to do any of these sins in Galatian 5:19-21 and only lose rewards?
First of all, your verse does not call any of that "sin".
Its called "works of the flesh" insteaD, and you dont know why...
2nd... your verse says that those who commit those "works of the flesh" = shall not inherit the KOG"""........and in fact every born again Christian, is already IN the KOG..........having been "translanted" into it from "darknes".
So, you are a person who does not even understand the simple fact that all Christians are "ONE WITH GOD">.. "IN CHRIST"... "seated in Heavenly PLaces"..
And all of that is to be IN the KOG.........the Born again, are born again into it.......so your verse is only talkiing about people who are not yet born again.
