Which is it, Swampfox?
I've said it before, I'll say it again. The servant that is found good is found good because he is doing up until the very last moment. He's not off in the corner saying, "I'm already saved, so there's nothing left for me to do." If you'll kindly notice, I hightlighted that part of the passage in the first Scripture that I quoted within my first post. In fact, it was my first point. You promptly followed with a statement that it was out of context for the end of the age of which the time has no real bearing on what I said. I pointed out, quite clearly, that the good servant is doing up until the very end. Despite the fact that you said the Scripture I quoted was out of context, you proceeded to explain it in another way as well. You then proceeded to bicker with me calling the servant saved to which I replied asking what is a servant of Christ? All of this was documented to everyone's apparent satisfaction except yours. A servant of Christ is pretty specific. Paul was one and he instructed us to be one. It's not just some random, God-ignorant individual finishing out his role. It's very clear that the Lord coming back is none other than Christ. It explicity says that.
Unless the Word of God teaches such, then it is not simply an excuse, as you put it.
Document me one example in the Bible where OSAS applied to someone that resigned from their ministry and went off to live happily ever after, to use the hackneyed phrase. My entire point in this thread has been faith without works is dead. OSAS asserts that you are saved no matter what, and that is not a doctrine of Christ.
